there has been more moments than i can count in the past seven months where i felt destroyed by all the death and carnage i've seen due to the colonialism and imperialism of the world. but there was something in particular about hind's death that made me think the world would stop turning bc how could anything continue given how gruesome and inhumane her death was? and yet, the world did not stop. and i thought we were once again left to remember her story only in our minds as she became another number, as her murderers went on killing unpunished, and as her mother grieved with rage when all she wanted was to keep her daughter warm and as safe as she could manage in this man-made hell on earth.

however, hind, a girl who only got to experience her kindergarten graduation, is now being immortalized in universities across the nation. her story did resonate to the masses and we will not let her be forgotten nor forgive those complicit in her death. real justice would be having hind alive, but these students are showing that they will stop the world and burn the status quo it upholds to the ground if it means her people can truly be liberated.

if israel is charged for war crimes, never ever let the support for palestine stop. it will take generations to repair what's been done. and there's no way to repair the hearts of those who lost their entire families, children, loved ones, limbs, etc. the most we can do is rally to dismantle israel entirely. only then can the fallen rest easy.

SUPPORT PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

while it’s important for us to protest, raise awareness, boycott, and pressure our governments… it is also important that we appreciate palestinian people and palestinian culture. they are more than just victims. they are artists, entrepreneurs, fashion designers, movie makers, writers, musicians, scholars—they are people. so let’s celebrate all that makes palestinians who they are by supporting their businesses and showing our appreciation and solidarity.

UPCOMING PROTESTS

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

[etherealjades]

We are back in the stone age. We do not know what’s going on in the outside world. We don’t know what’s going on in other neighborhoods. This will have very dangerous consequences. Just like how Israel is creating settlements in Palestine, the same policy will be applied here too.

– Kashmiri student Asim Abbas, on the Hindutva Indian government’s annexation, invasion, and telecommunications blackout of Kashmir

[etherealjades]

Motaz posted a 22 minute video and here’s the takeaways:

- north Gaza is being heavily bombed. There are estimates say one person is killed every five (5) minutes.

- new massacre in jabalia, many killed with no media coverage (2 journalists were injured this morning.)

- no connection or food in the north, no food, only aid since the last pause

- Motaz has not showered for six days and others haven’t showered for weeks

- in two days, one Israeli drone came to Motaz’s home (and other houses) and it was able to kill and shoot

- there’s no food

- “you are waiting to die. This is what Gazans still alive now do. You are waiting to be killed,”

- everyday it gets worse

- aid does enter Gaza, but it is not enough. Israel won’t let a large amount enter.

- “you can’t help us, I’m sorry you can’t help us, you can’t do anything”

- he denied an interview from CNN since he does not want to be judged by people.

- “if you are human, you will share the videos, but don’t tell us you did something for us.”

- he works for UNRWAUSA, and those are the only people he trusts.

- people have been blaming him for not “doing enough/sharing enough”

- one thing in Arabic he says is “The death of Palestinians is easier than drinking water.”

this is horrible. fighting for human rights shouldn’t lead to this. i pray that he gets out of this. everyday, iran’s government disappoints me even more.

Haven't seen anyone mention this, but this is so unbelievable. I feel anger and sadness bundled in one.

Not sure how much help joining this change.org petition would bring to this situation, but I'll leave it here in hopes that it brings awareness and change: x

op is so real for this

Everyone who’s mean about Feng getting cosmetics sucks these are both so cute!!!!

[etherealjades]

Anti-rape wear. Its almost impervious to knife attacks and tearing/stretching.

The waist and thigh extremities of the garment are cut and tear resistant (the guy in the video cant cut them with industrial scissors) and they cannot be moved more than a few centimetres when locked into place, the forward area in front of the genitals is also reinforced.

Please, for the love of god, even if you cant donate, just spread this idea wherever you can, they need $50,000 to be able to manufacture it and they currently have just over $6,000 with 20 days left.

Go to igg.me/at/AR-Wear to donate and/or view their full info.
