The killing of Palestinians is still going, boycotting is still going

This is a video from 2020 from a completely unrelated incident. Israeli propagandist accounts such as this one are using it to justify the indiscriminate slaughter of hundreds of civilians carried out yesterday, in which 6 city apartment blocks in Beirut were leveled in an assassination of a resistance group leader.

No one in Lebanon is celebrating the destruction of their homes and the slaughter of their citizens. Thousands have been killed, thousands more injured, and tens of thousands are displaced. People are terrified and suffering.

Please have empathy and pray for the people of Lebanon. Lebanon is a beautiful, diverse country of many religions and ethnicities. None of them are celebrating.

I don't know how to report misinformation on tumblr. But if possible, please report the above post and posts like it if you see it on your social media.

Israel is at war with the children of Palestine. Always has been

“From October 7, 2023–July 31, 2024, Israeli forces and settlers killed Palestinian children in the West Bank at a rate of one child every two days. They killed a total of 141 Palestinian children during the reporting period. The majority, 116, were killed with live ammunition targeting vital parts.”

Israel has no right to exist.

Kind of crazy how convoluted certain aspects of American politics are and how little the average person knows outside of whatever political ideology they’ve been around. To this day so many people don’t know Hillary Clinton won popular vote or had a massive voter turnout I can’t tell you how many times I’ve met people who are stunned to hear this because they genuinely thought she lost because people wouldn’t vote for a woman + didn’t know it was possible to win popular vote and lose the election.

A while back I was having a conversation with my friend and I said I wasn’t voting for Joe Biden and he said “you’re voting for trump?” Which did initially shock me and I said no I’m voting third party and he said “what other party is there?”. There is a level of ignorance that some people can maintain their entire lives because they don’t really have a reason to think things are more complicated than they appear which often comes from a combination of having the ability to ignore things because they don’t affect you but also the lack of education and lack of easy access to education on basic structures and processes and practices of our government. I am both proud of my own effort but also aware I am lucky to have had the ability to get into politics young and form my own thoughts and opinions early.

there’s a lot of people who fundamentally agree with many aspects of leftism and oppose the actions of the American government but either are not fully aware of the big picture or don’t use the same terminology to say it. What I will say is the average working class person with an iffy grasp on politics tends to be way more receptive to a lot of different ideas than “liberal in leftist clothing” types who are ready to throw away any advocation for entire groups of people being allowed to stay alive aside the second they think their own rights might have a chance of being threatened

eSims for Gaza is facing constant eSim shortages.

They get over a thousand requests for connection a day, but their email inbox is regularly sitting at 300-500 eSims. With the bombardment of Rafah and continual internet blackouts, the need for more eSims is particularly urgent.

Even if you have already sent an eSim or donated to an eSim donation drive, there is more you can do. The team is calling for people to campaign in their communities to help spread the word about eSims and encourage donations.

You can help by printing out posters and putting them up in local businesses, on telephone poles and notice boards, or wherever people are likely to see them.

[ID: Poster headed “eSIMs for Gaza” with an illustration of a red poppy, a QR code, and a link to tinyurl.com/gaza-esims; copy reads “Sending eSIMs is an immediate, concrete way to help Gazans on the ground. Scan below to learn how you can get involved.” End ID]

the kids online safety act passed the u.s. senate.

long story short (for anyone who hadn't heard of this before) the kids online safety act, aka kosa, is a bill that will censor online content and resources for lgbtq+ matters, reproductive healthcare, activism (INCLUDING PALESTINE AND LIKELY OTHER CRISES GOING ON LIKE IN CONGO OR SUDAN), mental health, etc. everywhere--its effects likely won't be contained to just america.

today, july 30th, 2024, the senate passed it 91-3. it has officially moved to the house of representatives.

is this a pretty massive setback? yes. do you have every right to be scared, sad, angry, or whatever else about this happening? absolutely. but should you give up hope completely? NO!

even though kosa passed the senate, the house is on break/august recess at the moment. we have around an entire month to get emails, calls, and faxes in to house reps, maybe more depending on when they decide to vote on it.

should it pass the house and get signed into law, we still have a whole 18 months before it actually goes into effect. this is plenty of time for digital rights orgs (e.g. fight for the future, the electronic frontier foundation) and other groups that oppose it to file a lawsuit against it. even if, worst-case scenario, it flies through the house immediately after the recess ends, we can still fight this up to march 2026.

so, yes, remember what's at stake here, but also remember that it's not over yet. we lost a battle, not the war.

below are some resources to learn more about kosa and how to contact your reps (first link) + a page that lets you directly contact progressive house reps, sign an open letter opposing the bill, and view others' testimonies against it (second link):

FIGHT. FIGHT. FIGHT.

While we continue to donate to personal evacuation funds, I think it is crucial to keep in mind that these individuals as well as millions more in Gaza are currently actively in need of basic necessities like food, water, shelter, and medical care. Keeping this in mind, and recognising that there is no way to know when the border crossing with Egypt will reopen, I think our attention should also be on raising funds for organisations currently on the ground who will have the widest impact on the lives of Palestinians who are still enduring the genocide in Gaza.

Below are some verified donation links of organisations that are currently providing assistance for the people in Gaza directly:

Food, water, and shelter

Taawon has launched a campaign to provide support in Gaza through food parcels, shopping vouchers, fresh produce, water bottles and shelter tents.

Watermelon Relief is a project initiated and implemented by a group of activists in Gaza, who work to provide aid to displaced families in Gaza through meals, support and activities.

World Food Programme (WFP) managed to provide assistance to more than 1 million people in Gaza in May by delivering food in shelters, makeshift camps and shops.

Life for Gaza is an initiative through which the Municipality of Gaza aims to provide basic necessities for the people of Gaza such as water projects, waste collection and the reconstruction of roads.

Arab Group for the Protection of Nature (APN) is working to plant farmlands in Gaza through their "Revive Gaza Farmlands" project, through which they had already started planting vegetables, fruits and leafy greens in Gaza.

Purchasing eSIMs is one of the only remaining ways to keep Gazans connected with the outside world, to get their stories out or even enable them to call for help after Israeli strikes.

The Sameer Project is a donation based aid initiative that provides tents, cash aid, diapers and formula for displaced families in Gaza.

Care For Gaza is an organisation that works to provide essential aid such as food packages and cash to deliver to displaced families in Gaza.

Palestine Children's Relief Fund, through their "Gaza Relief and Recovery" campaign, plan to provide essential medical supplies and treatments, as well as food and clean water.

The UNRWA has an Emergency Appeal for Gaza, where donations will provide families in Gaza with lifesaving food and water, winter kits and to repair UNRWA shelters.

Mutual Aid for the People of Gaza is a fundraiser managed by Mona in Gaza, who personally purchases and distributes basic supplies including food parcels to families in Gaza.

Help Gaza Children is another grassroots effort operating on the ground in Gaza to support families with food, water and clothing.

Medical care

Palestinian Red Crescent has been on the ground in Palestine since 1968 as part of the Red Cross & Crescent movement. They have had a continuous presence on the ground in Gaza as the main source of medical care and assistance.

Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provides medical supplies and supports healthcare services in Gaza.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provide medical and humanitarian aid in Palestine and have had their teams on the ground operating from MSF-supported health facilities across Gaza.

Gaza Wound Care is a medical team in a tent in Nuseirat, providing care to children and supporting pregnant women.

Children Not Numbers is an NGO dedicated to providing medical care for the children in Gaza including delivery of medical aid and medical evacuation for children.

Disney+

Plz you can always watch the shows on pirated sites and find better alternatives for burgers & coffee, nothing is more important than stopping a genocide. It's a global boycott.

[killermochi]

I’m half convinced you’re a psyop so idk why I’m bothering but just in case you’re not

Are you aware that the Republican Party’s foundation is evangelicals? Are you aware that they think war in Palestine is a sign of end times and they think it’s a good thing, and they think it’s good for the world to end? The American Christian Right are anti Palestinian and pro Israel (despite also being antisemitic otherwise!)bc they think they live in the book of Revelations. They’re frothing at the mouth for the conflict to continue.

Telling people they shouldn’t vote blue is fucking irresponsible.

I have never told anyone how they should vote, so I have no idea where you are getting that from. I'm saying that no matter how you vote, don't whitewash the genocide that Democrats are carrying out right now. Because when you do that, you are actively choosing to normalize violence against Palestinians. (the normalization of violence against Palestinians is one of the reasons this genocide is possible)

I know people whose families are being slaughtered right now by Biden and Harris, and when they protested, begging them to stop killing their children, Biden and Harris cracked down on their free speech and sent the full force of the police state to brutalize them. Threatened them at their jobs and schools. It is unimaginably dehumanizing to lecture people going through a genocide about how "they are being irresponsible" not voting for the party you think is best for you because the other guy would also have murdered their family. It's actually so gross, that it makes my soul feel sick.

Anyways, as long as both parties are bought by corporations and special interest groups, whether or not project 2025 continues to go into action (it's already started for most people in this country, but maybe you are too privileged to know that) will be completely up to whether or not the corporations running this country want it to continue. No matter how you vote, I encourage everyone to vote down the ballot and especially in all local elections, but don't get stuck in the mindset that the ballot box is all that matters. Organizing at the community level is just as if not more important than voting.

Also, if genocide and apartheid are things you think should be accepted and brushed under the rug, then I don't think we're on the same side in the first place, so don't waste your time.

[killermochi]

Harris is actually pro Palestine and has been calling for a ceasefire since December. She's been pressuring Biden to stop. There are plenty of articles about it, dated last dec/January, you should look it up. Just because she is part of the current administration doesn't mean she would run her own administration the same way. She wants to cut off support for Palestine and has been advocating for compassion for them internally for half a year

If voting for Harris is the chess move you want to make, then that's fine, but do not whitewash her stances. Making supporting a genocide "just another policy" and not something that defines you forever is another tool that serves to dehumanize Palestinians.

Harris:

-Regular AIPAC speaker

-Compared Selma & US Civil Rights struggle to her pro-Israel activism

-Called BDS “anti-semitic”

-Co-sponsored resolution with Republicans against Obama in support of illegal settlements (for context, even hardline zionists Pelosi and Schumer didn't join her on this)

-Fmr campaign director says: “Her support for Israel is central to who she is.”

-Hosted White House event promoting Israel’s atrocity propaganda about Oct 7

-After calling for “immediate ceasefire” in March, clarified she meant Biden’s temporary pause

-Biden officials say: “There’s no dispute on policy” between Biden & Harris on Gaza
