Wanted to bring attention to the fact that Bisan called for mass protests today (April 1st). It’s okay if you can’t march yourself, but please make it a point to spread this so that those who can march do so—and also take this as your own checkpoint to ask yourself if you’ve been faltering in terms of sharing information about Palestine, doing what you can to fund humanitarian aid in Palestine, and staying informed as to the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Some might say it has been 6 months of this, but to me that’s all the more reason to make noise now more than ever. This is one of very few spaces on the Internet where Palestine has not been abandoned in people’s endless efforts to dehumanize Arabs. Please continue amplifying the dialogue surrounding this genocide. Free Palestine. Free Palestins always.

Very important post

https://linktr.ee/opolivebranch

The borders to leave Gaza into Egypt are due to close very soon, in less than two weeks.

Operation olive branch collects and promotes fundraisers to get families out. This might be their last window to leave to get somewhere safe.

If you can donate even a little, or know someone who can, please donate to a family and try get them out.

If not, share while the border is still open

finished reading thru The Hundred Years' War On Palestine: A History of Settler Colonial Conquest and Resistance by Rashid Khalidi and I cannot recommend it enough. A lot of people and, very likely, the average, person not completely blinded by Islamophobia and/or USamerican/European/British exceptionalism are probably at least moderately sympathetic to the Palestinian cause but I don't know how many of us actually understand the degrees by which Israel is based in settler colonial ideology, how it has continually attempted to subjugate and ultimately eradicate the Palestinian people, and the degree by which the US and Britain (but mostly the US ever since the Six Day War in 1967) have been complicit in this continual genocide.

This book is an amazing comprehensive guide on understanding the conflict and I genuinely think you should give it a read (or listen) if you want to learn more. It is one thing to feel sympathy and to declare support for a cause, but I think it is important to take a step further and educate yourself more on it. A ploy I have seen frequently by zionists is to tell people to "educate themselves" before commenting on this genocide, hoping to instill doubt and encourage silence. Well, here is your chance to educate yourself! I'm obviously biased in favor of this one as it is the first major text on the Palestinian genocide that I have read, but I fully believe in its quality.

You can find this book online in PDF format or, if you prefer, you can purchase a physical copy from many of the large retail bookstores; Barnes & Noble in the US sells it, and so does Waterstones in the UK. There is also an official audiobook that you can either purchase through many of the major audiobook distributors (though I recommend avoiding Amazon if it can be helped), but you can also obtain it via other means if necessary. It's actually currently up on YouTube in its entirety, though I won't link it here in case it gets taken down. (It's really easy to search for, just type in the books title + 'audiobook' into your preferred search engine or on YouTube itself and you'll find it. It's about 10 hours long which is a reasonable length for an audiobook). I'll include a link in this post to an overview/lecture/dialogue with the author Rashid Khalidi on the contents of the book conducted at Brown University in 2020.

I do ask you read this book. I think a lot of people already are. I checked a couple of online libraries that have a limited number of audiobook copies that had all been checked out and that to me implies that people do want to educate themselves. There's a sizeable stack of these books at the local bookstore I ocassionally shop at, front and center on the table in the history and world affairs section. It's not hard to find. I hope you all have a good day or evening and I know that if we all take the time to educate ourselves further and approach this genocide with a deeper understanding, we may be able to do something about it. Emotional pleas are not enough, they must be informed ones as well.

Sudan, like Ghazzah, is currently dealing with a disastrous hunger level crisis that is about to cross into famine levels, just as Ghazzah's is about to. You guys have really come through for Palestine and Ghazzah when I've asked you to donate, so please do the same for our brothers and sisters in Sudan and Darfur. You are helping more than you can imagine, every single dollar counts.

If you're in Canada you can use this link for the fundraiser by UNHCR.

If you're in the U.S. please use this link.

Mimicry - Hail, True Body: Part 1

"The verses were highlighted and underlined by a shaky hand pressing the tip too tight to the paper, the corner dogeared and worn. A section someone had visited numerous times over, desperately, frantically. And there, beside it in an empty margin, were seven words in black ink.

God still loves me. God forgives me.

A poor creature's cry for help. Fallen on deaf ears."

Or: Fear, hunger, despair, and... something new.

-

'Hail, True Body' is a religious horror series that focuses on what it means to be human in a world that God has abandoned. For Mark Owens, 1993 is shaping up to be the worst year of his young life - and that's saying a lot all things considered. When his best friend Cesar Hernández calls him one night in October, Mark ignores the broadcast warnings to help him out. But Cesar is acting... strange.

Though perhaps that's understandable. His mother did just die, after all.

New chapter is up!

Wright & Sons Introductory

Hello! And welcome to the team! Here at Wright & Sons, we're pushing for the conservation and study of the Keudhannelida, also known as the Mimic! Currently our knowledge on this species and its multiple subspecies is limited, though with time (and hopefully funding) we'll be able to learn everything there is to know about this unusual species!

You will be provided multiple documents containing all the information you need to know before you start your job, and training programs will be provided.

Below is a scan of Document 2, containing the life cycle of the Keudhannelida, along with brief explanations of how they act and the dangers they face (or danger they can cause) during each stage of life. We thank you for joining our company and helping the cause!

UPDATE: Hussam Bought Vegetables!

Hussam managed to put together 100 packages of vegetables for the families in Rafah camps. They were happy about this because vegetables are quite expensive in the markets.

The packages includes tomatoes, potatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, lemon, and jalapenos.

Thanks again, everyone, for your continued support. Donate here to make a direct impact to people in Rafah camps with NO middle man in between.
