I know I rarely come on here and post stuff, but this is something serious that I think needs to start being boosted onto this platform if it hasn’t already. It’s everywhere on TikTok but that is not enough, so hopefully I can start a wave of awareness that is just as strong here as it is on TikTok.

In the rare instance that you don’t know, I will explain now;

Today I wish to bring light to the Genocide that is going on in Gaza, as well as many other Genocides that, only now, are being brought to light.

As of right now of writing this (November 14th, 2023), there has been an ongoing Genocide in Palestine that is being lead by Israel and started on October 7th of this year when a conflict occurred between Israel and Hamas/led Palestinian militants from the Gaza Strip. Palestine has been under attack from Israel for longer though, since 1947 and, from 2006, there were a total of five wars between Hamas and Israel.

This year it has continued to worsen, now reaching large media coverage from journalists - many of which have been killed in the bombings as well as its citizens. In total a number of 11,100 and counting have been killed since October 7th, a large majority of the deaths being women and children, children including babies who have ranged from two years old to just being born, their lives ended before they can even walk.

People around the world, including those in Palestine themselves have demanded a ceasefire and for help from governments across the globe. Yet no help has been given to them, why? Because they side with Israel, these governments include and are not limited to the ones listed in this video:

Incase you can’t watch it for whatever reason at the moment, I will list here the major countries that, as of writing this, are pro-Israel;

- U.S.A/United States America

- Germany

- Guatemala

- India

- Austria, Hungary, Czechia, Croatia(Within Europe)

- France(Though they voted against Israel in the Humanitarian Truce Vote, they are still worthy of adding into this list)

And now for those who are AGAINST Israe/Pro-Palestinel:

- Iran/The Taliban

-Syria

- Chilli

- Columbia

- Bolivia

- Turkey

- Qatar

Please do keep in mind that things like this are possible to change, only time will tell but regardless it is important to keep note of who is supporting who.

Now this may be the part where I ask you to please go and support Palestine and do what you can. But that’s not it, not yet, for Palestine is not the only country under threat of Genocide. Unfortunately, there are more.

Congo and Haiti are also under going silent Genocides, both countries being extorted for their mineral resources to benefit western countries: Congo for example, their people being forced into slave labour to mine sources - one such resource being the ones to make iPhones and laptops, probably what you’re using right now to read this. The resource are called Tatalum and Coltan, and they are stained with the blood those forced to mine them.

Haiti is under a constantly corrupted and unstable government management with a rise of gang activities to go with it. No help has been given to them.

And western countries have done absolutely JACK SHIT to help.

That has to change. We cannot simply just demand for only Palestine, Congo or Haiti be freed and helped, but instead we demand ALL countries be helped. It’s obvious by now that our governments could care less about the people, they care about historical affiliations and keeping good connections for the sake of financial and resourceful of benefits.

Hope is not entirely lost, though, as many have taken to protest against and raise awareness to the inhumane cruelty that had been put into the light. I strongly encourage you to do the same. I am not asking that you go and fight the wars and fox the economies by yourself, I am asking that you merely acknowledge and SPREAD THE WORD.

Ignorance is a privilege we shall not let anyone have when it comes to atrocities like these.

What can you do to help?

Again, you just spread the word; repost, post, talk to friends or family about it, do whatever you can to so read awareness. Donate to charities(Be sure to do your research before doing so as, unfortunately, they are many who would take advantage of tragedies such as these for financial gain. Please be sure to research who or whatever you are donating money to so you know for sure where your money will be going.)

We are right now in the midst of a historical event, history is repeating and we are doomed if we stay quiet and do nothing. Hope is not lost.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. So will Congo and Haiti.

Happy Black History Month!! Remember that intersectionality is integral to black liberation so as we uplift black voices this month remember Palestinians, remember the Congolese and Sudanese people. We won’t be free until we all are.

Congo 🇨🇩 is facing a genocide as well. People are being forced into hard labor in cobalt mining, facing human rights violations (including sexual assault). It is men, women, and children working in these mines.

Exposure to cobalt is very toxic, causing pneumoconiosis, a lung disease caused by inhaling the dust. Cobalt is also toxic to the heart muscle, causing toxic cardiomyopathy. Symptoms of this include:peripheral neuropathy, sensorium hearing loss, vision loss, cognitive decline, hypothyroidism, weakness, fatigue and polycythe.

DO NOT stop talking about Palestine, but add Congo to your regular posting.

This is slave labor. This is genocide. Congo is bleeding.

Some will say "You're just 16, you shouldn't involve yourself in politics."

But my parents and grandparents always taught me to do the right thing.

And the right thing to do is to keep talking about Palestine, Sudan, and Congo. Along with the crimes the US and Britain committed against my people.

I won't stop talking about the injustices of the world. Those injustices affect everyone.

Some will say "You're part of the LGBTQ+ community! You shouldn't be supporting Palestine!"

Get this: LGBTQ+ people exist in Palestine.

Genocide supporters can try to get me to shut up, but I won't shut up.

Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Free Sudan. 🇸🇩

Free Congo. 🇨🇩
