you can support Palestinians by making war on the united states, the number one funder of the people genociding them

Just like last year in February, the zionist settlers are back to their terrorism. More pogroms in Huwara, the same West Bank town they attacked last year amongst many others. February 12th 2024.

I will not share a land with filth who talk about a 6 year old murdered by the terrorist group that they claim protects them like this:

Today, I submitted my resignation as director of the Center for Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). Although it might at first appear that this choice was driven by the ever-intensifying political attacks against gender studies in Florida, these attacks are precisely why I would have wanted to remain as director. As a genderqueer scholar, I have been deeply committed to defending the center and advocating for the value of our research and teaching. However, I am also an anti-Zionist Jewish scholar, and since October 7, I have experienced unrelenting pressure from the university to disavow my religious practice, my religious community and my ethical commitments.

On January 16, FAU administrators made it explicitly clear to me that to be a leader at the university, I must support Israel. I have chosen to resign from the directorship in order to speak out about what I have experienced, and to add my experience to the hundreds of stories of academics and cultural workers who are being targeted in order to silence criticism of the state of Israel amid its genocidal campaign in Gaza.

one of many many instances of pro palestine voices on college campuses being harassed, doxxed and pressured to take certain political positions by zionist faculty and students, and jewish anti zionists being purposefully targeted and pushed out of their own communities and academic spaces meant for jewish students/faculty

how many times do israel have to admit theyve lied before people stop believing everything they say?

These are your 'civilians'.

It is taking all of my power, my restraint, my strength, not to just say the most violent diatribe imaginable that is trying to enter my mind right now.

Human torture zoos. That's what your 'civilians' are up to. You fucking genocidal pigs.

Why do you say IOF instead of IDF?

Israel’s army is not a Defense force, it’s an Occupying force. They’re not defending anything, they’re occupying an Indigenous people’s land. Don’t fall for Israel’s wording scheme.

I have seen posts on Palestine get thousands on thousands of notes. If each person who engaged with them donated one dollar—literally just one; no more, no less—thousands of dollars would be raised to humanitarian aid in Gaza just like that. I understand there’s the whole bystander effect going on. People are probably like “Well there’s likely someone out there donating right now, so they can probably do without my one puny dollar” wrong. One dollar makes a huge difference. Any amount you can afford can make a huge difference.

I’m not going to say every single person on here can afford to give up a dollar, because that’s absolutely insensitive to people’s individual situations—but if you can, please donate. So many of us on here aren’t swimming in money, but we still make it a point to donate, regardless of how little or how big a sum it is. I promise it adds up.

The PCRF could use every last penny. Don’t be a bystander in a world of bystanders. It matters.

You guys better never shut up about Palestine. Even when they are liberated, your mouth better not close. Thousands upon thousands have died, and your words will never equal their lives, even if you spoke of them for thousands of years. You owe it to their memory, and to the people who live on, to never shut up.

Another campaign I trust: Nadine Abulatif and her family.

She chronicles daily life under the occupation's genocide of Palestinians on her Instagram.

Currently, many Palestinians are trying to leave as quickly as possible as the occupation continues to encroach on Rafah, where the vast majority of Palestinians were forcibly displaced to.

Nadine and her big family are trying to leave now. Please go donate to her family.

Just a general reminder that the week of 18-24 February is another strike. Please don't ignore this, no one has the excuse of it being too spontaneous this time as it has been planned since the strike in January ended. Don't talk about anything other than the injustices in the world. Talk about Palestine. Talk about Sudan. Talk about the republic of Congo. Talk about West Papua. Do not let anyone forget about any of the genocides going on rn.

genuinely so tired of seeing this bullshit from israelis who don't know how to do a single thing but victimize themselves. yes, you're a bad person for living on occupied palestinian land and benefiting from apartheid if you have the means to leave. boo fucking hoo everyone thinks you should be ashamed of being a colonizer and an ethnonationalist pig, am i supposed to be sympathetic to you.

you're even more of a disgusting piece of shit for bothering palestinians with this garbage as they watch their people get slaughtered by the thousands

Unkind reminder when it comes to Genocide and ethnic cleansing, there is no "nuance".

Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and genocide. The Palestinians are suffering and have been for 75 years. So no again, no nuance here.

still absolutely cannot wrap my head around how ppl are not condemning the iof and calling for a permanent ceasefire even after the news broke out about hind. she was six years old. trapped inside a bombed car where five of her relatives are martyred. iof tanks laid siege on a six year old girl calling her mom for help. because she was scared and alone and starving. iof waited until the paramedics came to save hind and killed them all. remember hind. remember yousef. remember ahmed. death to israel. ceasefire now.

the amount of ways we have to qualify the geoncide in gaza in order to get people to care is actually sickening to me. “it’s a feminist issue!” “it’s a disabilities issue!” “it’s an environmental issue!” like i’m sorry but even if this was happening solely to able bodied men and was causing no harm to the environment, it would still be wrong because it’s a genocide and these people are being bombed and killed and starved every fucking day. you shouldn’t need an extra label to give you a reason to care about people that are dying.
