#all eyes on gaza

[diet-comet-soda]

Hey, just wanna point out, not every non-Palestinian person living in Israel is a Zionist. Not everyone there absolutely loves violent colonialism & genocide, not everyone there has the privilege to leave/settle somewhere else because they disagree with the state they live in, not everyone there is living in lavish luxury or are part of the top-level privileged class of the country. Some people were born there (and some are still kids who literally have been fed propaganda all their lives and can't be expected to know any better), some Jewish people settled as refugees or because they had nowhere else to go, just trying to survive where they could.

There are and always have been protests in Israel against the genocide and occupation of Palestine.

So yes, absolutely fuck you to the settler colonial state of Israel and the people who enable and actively celebrate it's violence. And I absolutely want some land back & reparation efforts to take place when Palestine is free. BUT, shit along the lines of "I hope everyone in Israel suffers/dies" (which I heard a bit of when Iran bombed Israel) is Nazi shit and I—nor anyone else sincerely in support of Palestinian liberation—should claim that kind of speech, or anything else veering into anti-semitic or just plain bloodthirsty territory. Violence is often an inevitable part of liberation when the oppressor is awfully violent themselves, but I also don't think we should revel in the idea of Israel being raised to the ground. It's not helpful nor productive, it's just cruel.

Now, can we please redirect our attention to the fucking mass graves being found in Gaza instead of wishing Iran's government would bomb Israel harder. All eyes on Gaza. All eyes on Rafah. All eyes on Palestine. 🍉

LONG POST: About the situation in Inner Mongolia, Tuva, Kalmykia and Buryatia:

See this red piece of land here?

It’s almost as big as the actual country of Mongolia right?

…Wanna know why?

IT’S STOLEN LAND.

I am a Mongolian person from Outer Mongolia, it pains me to see my fellow siblings being subjected to a cultural genocide right now in China.

ALMOST NOBODY is talking about this.

Go ahead and search “Inner Mongolia” on any social media platform, see anything loosely related to it being stolen, or the eradication of the Mongolian language and culture in schools by the CCP?

Not much or close to none, right?

Unlike Tibet and Uyghurs, the other two biggest ethnic minorities in China, which have a number of campaigns/gofundmes/articles about the situation, there’s only a few articles about Inner Mongolia.

Do you want to know why you don’t hear about Inner Mongolia? Censorship and oppression.

Remember Tibet? And how China oppresses Tibetan Buddhism as a result, resulting in His Holiness, the Dalai Lama to leave his people’s homeland and reside in India? The biggest religion practiced in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia is Tibetan Buddhism.

I currently cannot find ANY campaigns aiming for a free Inner Mongolia, much less any recognizing what’s going on.

The Mongolic people have been the victims of genocide multiple times.

I’ve heard numerous negative opinions from foreigners online and in real life about the Mongol Empire and how “Mongolians deserve to be oppressed, China is doing them a favor, Traditional Mongolian script is used in Inner Mongolia and has a higher GDP, Outer Mongolia only uses Cyrillic.”

( Mongolia was colonized by the Soviet Union, and subjected to communism, do you know what it feels like for your own family members, brainwashed by communist propaganda during childhood, even now swearing up and down that Russians are superior and everything they do is correct. And when asked whether the innocent Mongolian Buddhist monks deserved to die at the hands of Russians, they said it was deserved?! This is how insane propaganda can get, nobody is immune)

Do you realize how fucked up that is?? To hear so many say your people deserve this??

“Mongolian is our mother language! We are Mongolian until death!” shouted ethnic-Mongolian students in China’s Inner Mongolia, in opposition to a government policy, ending bilingual education. Critics of this policy see it as the latest move in a decades’ long campaign aimed at erasing the Mongolian culture.

- PLEASE READ THESE ARTICLES, they’re not the most recent, but they tell the truth.

Why critics are asking if Inner Mongolia is the next Tibet or Xinjiang This is from 2023.

Inner Mongolia in 'War-Like State' This article is from 2011, however the events that were reported are still happening.

Mongolians in China Face 'Cultural Genocide' as Language, Culture Swept Aside: Group

This article is from 2021. It’s recent enough.

This goes without saying, but xenophobia is also extremely prevalent in China against ethnic minorities.

I highly recommend reading this specific tumblr post. I am also apart of many fandoms surrounding chinese media. OP makes many valid points and I cannot support them enough.

From personal experiences, I have also read about my people and Central Asians being portrayed as brutal, savage, uncivilized barbarians in many Chinese-American novels. It’s heartbreaking.

I despise how the world turns a blind eye to my brothers and sisters suffering, just because the severity of what my people endured is less than other groups, doesn’t mean that we should only focus on helping one minority, support all groups under oppression and colonialism no matter the severity of their situations.

I just found this Youtube video detailing the situation in Inner Mongolia, it’s beautifully done. PLEASE PLEASE WATCH THE FULL VIDEO, Beginning to End.

Why China Doesn’t Want You To Know About This Place.

Not to mention, the countries of Tuva, Buryatia, and Kalmykia are stolen by Russia just like Inner Mongolia. Throughout its history, Russia has seized foreign lands, colonizing indigenous peoples and destroying their national identity.

Note: I am not talking about the Sakha (Yakutia) because I am personally not apart of their community and will not talk over Yakut voices regarding Yakutia such as: https://www.instagram.com/verona.petrova?igsh=MXkyMHY3NDVoZjZxMg==

The Tuvans are a Turkic group with their own language however, they share many cultural aspects with Mongolians. Tuva is the most poverty stricken place in Russia with the lowest standards of living.

The Buryats are an ethnic minority of Siberia whose population of around half a million largely follow a blend of Buddhism and Shamanism.

They are closely related to the Mongols, and the two groups share similar histories, cultures, religious beliefs, and lifestyles.

The Buryat language is considered one of the world’s most endangered languages.

Soldiers from Tuva and Buryatia have the highest casualty rates per 100,000 for Russia in the Ukraine war.

“These are some of Russia’s poorest regions: places where many young men see the army as their only chance to earn a decent living. And it’s these places that are now paying a disproportionately high price as Russian war casualties continue to rise.”

Please see: Free Buryatia Foundation, Buryat Liberation Movement, Mass Deportation and Ethnic cleansing of Kalmykia, The Kalmyk Deportations of 1943. Ukraine war: Tuva and Buryatia pay the highest price, but latest BBC Russian casualty figures show poverty not ethnicity the key factor.

Free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Kurdistan, Armenia, Haiti, Yemen, Tigray, Syria, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Arakan, Tamil, Eelam, Western Sahara, West Papua, Kashmir, Canary Islands, & everyone undergoing genocide / colonialism.

Deaf Palestinian boy assaulted by Israeli soldiers

Please watch this. Please reblog, share/spread the video, boost it, do anything you can to help spread awareness.

the israhell army are cowards. They beat this boy, saying his hearing aid was an 'eavesdropping device'. This is extremely despicable. Let the world know of this evil no matter what.

[manyminded]

I know we seem powerless. I know change seems improbable - impossible, even. I know it is difficult to believe.

But that will not stop us from hoping. A better future is out there. It is in our hands. We are fighting, every day, to make it possible. Every bit counts. Even your contributions, no matter how slim. A hundred 1 dollar bills is still a hundred dollars. We can do it. We can make it. Change will happen, and it will be for the better.

Just keep fighting.

If somebody broke into my home, stabbed me and was actively trying to murder me, I wouldn’t ask them politely to stop. I would claw and kick and bite and scream, anything in my power to get them to stop, to get them away from me. I would have no qualms about harming them and nobody would expect me to

So no, I do not think that Palestinians should lie down like good, obedient, sacrificial lambs and ask Israel if they could please stop slaughtering them, they have spent 75 YEARS like this, and Israel has never stopped attacking and slaughtering them even ONCE.

It is not the responsibility of the oppressed to cater to their oppressor. You can not reason with somebody who has made it clear they view you as sub-human and want nothing more than to slaughter you and all your people.

And you can genuinely go fuck yourself with your ignorant, privileged, white-supremacist bullshit

[captainwaffles]

It’s Easter, the people in Gaza are still in danger. If Isreal holds to their patterns they will do something today while the world (specifically America) celebrates Christ resurrection

None of the children in Gaza are coming back

None of the women are coming back

None of the men are coming back

Don’t look away now. Be louder, keep protesting

[many-sparrows]

If you want to advocate but can't protest, are under voting age, want to do more, whatever, my roommates and I made a bunch of solidarity stickers. Palestinians are begging us to not look away, to force awareness-- we made these to easily and quickly stick up everywhere that people might see them. I'm talking Starbucks windows, light poles, crosswalks, electrical boxes, street signs, bus stops etc to keep this on people's minds. They also make easy post cards-- stick one on an index card and mail it to congress.

I bought 150 mailing labels from Staples for about $15, but you could also use scrap paper and clear packing tape. I also tried to use some different phrasing-- a lot of people shut down when they read "free Palestine" or "from the river to the sea" so I tried to bypass the "pOLiTiCaL" angle and appeal to the humanitarian one.

Also also, if you want to contribute and have some time, sending physical mail to representatives is a good thing to do. For this issue, it doesn't even have to be long or complicated letters, it can literally just be a note that says "cease fire now xoxox, your constituent, [name]" or whatever. It can be easy to ignore Twitter and brush off voicemails left with their staffers, it's time to get stuff in their desk.

"Iran is escalating tensions in the Middle East!"

Okay sure, you can make an argument for that, but like, isn't destroying Iran's consulate in Syria also a huge escalation? Israel essentially attacked two countries at once and nobody is telling them "wtf what r u doing stop escalating shit!" But the minute Iran launches an attack....

Let me be clear: Iran's regime is legit awful and they don't deserve any support for their many many repressive policies and violations of human rights. Still, I totally get where they're coming from with this. You do not bomb other countries' diplomatic posts and get away with it. Unless you're Israel I guess. Then it's okay 😒

Also, now with all eyes on Iran, people are distracted from what's happening in Gaza which may very well be an intentional side effect on Israel's part. But don't forget: PEOPLE ARE STILL BEING KILLED AND STARVED IN THE GAZA STRIP.

Keep your eyes on Gaza

"Palestinians in Gaza are celebrating the first day of Eid outside flattened mosques and among the rubble of their homes.

As Eid al-Fitr begins, we must rediscover something very simple: we are all human beings on one planet - and we all deserve to live in peace."
