BISAN HAS CALLED FOR A GLOBAL STRIKE

January 21-28th

[puddin-dear]

A daily reminder

Those Palestinian people were not killed, they were murdered

Its not a war on Hamas, its a genocide on Palestine

Its the beautiful land Palestine, not isreal

Its Genocide, not war

Its a murdered toddler/child/baby/teen, not a dead young lady/man

Its “isreal should have not..” not “Hamas should have not…”

Its Palestines last defense, not a terrorist organization

Its hostages, not prisoners

Neutrality is still just Zionism

It was a sniper shot, not a stray bullet

Boycott Starbucks, Mcdonalds, etc

Protest

Revolt

Call your lawmakers

Keep ALL EYES on Rafah

And remember, from the river to the sea Palestine will be free

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

(remember to reblog and help get the bottom tags trending again, we must not forget palestine)

[thecatspasta]

Btw to the people going 'Well Hamas is bad and Palestinians voted Hamas in therefore Palestinians deserve to get killed'

That happened in 2006. 17 years ago. Any Palestinian who is 34 and under COULD NOT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THAT ELECTION, and this is INCLUDING the children currently being slaughtered

Along with that Hamas isnt every person in Gaza, thats like saying every American is Donald Trump and supports his actions because they voted him in. Its so obviously wrong when you apply it to literally anything that isnt Palestine

Shut the fuck up and stop supporting actual literal genocide, from river to sea, Palestine will be free

Edit: To the people saying 'Even if everyone supported Hamas that doesnt justify genocide' I absolutely 100% agree. Nothing justifies genocide, however this post is directed at people who try to "excuse" Israels actions by saying 'Well Hamas would do the same thing if they could and Palestinians voted them in so obviously theyre also bad so dont try to support Gaza because theyre just as bad as Israel'

Absolutely nothing justifies genocide, but the people who trying to need to be told they are wrong

Edit 2: In this post I am not comparing Trump and Hamas and saying 'Look how similar they are omg' I am pointing out the hypocrisy of people who try to use Hamas to excuse genocide, while also believing that civilians arent responsible for the actions of their government just because they were voted in

Today when I pick up my 7 year old from school I know I am going to cry uncontrollably. Because my child is safe. My child does not have to worry about where the next meal will come from. My child does not have to flee our home to desperately seek safety.

Lama Jamous is 9 years old and her future as a journalist is not secure. Over 11,000 children who could have gone on to bright and beautiful futures will never have that future. No child in Gaza is safe.

Please don't look away and please don't stop talking about Palestine.

[notrecommendedforlife-blog]

Why aren’t the Gaza and Palestine tags trending anymore?

Are some people just done talking because of the ICJ’s hearing and subsequent ruling? (That’s when I noticed the tag start to dip.)

It’s still happening.

Innocent people are still being murdered

Innocent people are still starving

Innocent people are still losing their parents, siblings, children, friends, and neighbors

Innocent people are still fearing for their lives

Israel is currently committing war crimes with the full support of: President Biden (USA), Chancellor Scholz (Germany), Prime Minister Sunak (UK), President Macron (France), Prime Minister Meloni (Italy).

I just don’t understand what’s happening, why is this losing steam? Please, someone, explain it to me. I genuinely want to know.

My pinned post is still, and for the foreseeable future will always be, sulfurcosmos post, which shows you ways you can help Palestine - but always do your own research!

Find ways to spread the word.

Tell your family, tell your friends, tell your coworkers.

Repost others posts that help spread the word.

Lift up Palestinians voices.

Please don’t let this just go away.

Please don’t let those voices be silenced.

Bisan posted this message in Arabic, French, English, and Spanish on her socials: "Members of the French Parliament announced they're going to Rafah-Egypt February 3-6. Free people of the world travel with them to Rafah. Hold a sit in there. Break the siege on Gaza. #Break the Siege."

France also recently cut their funding to UNRWA. For those able to attend, please do, and for those unaware there is another global strike we can all participate in this month too:

And as always, end the occupation and free Palestine.

[ireblogg]

- engage with podcasts, movies and other media about Palestine

[dailyjermasparkle]

I just want everyone to know that even though the strike ends tomorrow, and I will go back to my normal type of content, I will never stop supporting Gaza and Palestine as a whole. I will keep reblogging important posts about Palestine. I will continue to boycott the companies. I will return to my normal life, but those in Gaza cannot, and I will never forget that.

Free Palestine!

As soon as I learned about the Palestinian sunbird this week, which became Palestine's national bird in 2015 after Israel failed to rename it, I knew I had to paint one. What a beautiful bird to symbolise Palestinian hope.

elevate palestinian voices

do not stop talking about the genocide in gaza

[Photo ID: A person standing in daylight amidst dark smoke holding a large, Palestinian flag that obscures their face. Black, white, green, and red text reads: 'Global Strike. Jan 21-28, 2024.' Then more text reads: 'The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide!

[Photo ID: A photo Bisan took of herself in the smudged mirror of an elevator. She's holding her phone up to face level while looking at the screen. She's wearing a bright blue PRESS helmet and a bright blue PRESS vest. Text over the photo reads: 'Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! - Bisan Owda (wizard_bisan1). January 21, 2024.' /End ID]

TFR is participating in the Global Strike called upon by @wizard_bisan1 for this week. No money will be spent & Palestinian voices will continue to be boosted, alongside other resources for how to best use this week in support of pressuring for a ceasefire.

Bisan's full message from January 21, 2024:

Hi everyone, it’s Bisan from Gaza, I am still alive Alhamdullah.. it’s been 107 days of genocide, 15 weeks, 2568 hours of killing us, taking over our homes and lands in Gaza Strip, and forcing us to choose between leaving or death.. and sometimes we can’t even choose.. the Israeli air strikes simply kill us without any warnings. Now, we are without any connection, neither the internet nor the cellular, we can’t reach each other’s inside Gaza, we don’t know if our families and friends are alive or not, wounded or not.. still in their places or not! We take hours of walking and searching to reach someone, while moving became very risky! We can’t reach to you as well! The footage, information and news from Gaza are not reaching you as before because the Israeli army intentionally destroyers the signal towers and the servers, even using the E-SIM requires being in a high place which is very risky!. I borrowed this vest to upload this post! I am not scared of death, but of being displaced, scared of losing my family or friends, scared of being wounded and can’t have my treatment because the health system is collapsed in Gaza, and to die in pain! I am not scared of the destruction.. I lost my work place.. my home and my family work place and source of income, I am terrified of being killed by an occupier, and to be forgotten, one oppressed Bisan of a whole occupied people. The strongest governments and weapons manufacturers are supporting this genocide against my people, and you are our only hope! STRIKE globally and call for a ceasefire! Strike, protest, stop the economic movements and make pressure on your countries to stand against this and stop it, if ISRAhell don’t find the financial and weapons support, or governments to hide their crimes they will be forced to stop the genocide! Go to the streets, protest and Globally strike for a week, (21-28) January! YALLA Brave and free people of the world, CEASEFIRE NOW!

Today I was talking to someone and Palestine came up and their response to it was 'Not my country, not my problem'

So let me just spell it out for you

It is your problem when you willfully ignore people telling you about Palestinians being slaughtered

It is your problem when you buy and support companies that are actively aiding in the genocide

It is your problem when you stand by, knowing full well that people are being killed in the thousands and deciding to let it happen

Do not stay quiet and be complacent in genocide. Do not ignore this, it is happening now. From river to sea, palestine will be free

[amarshmallownamedo]

As i understand it, the strike is do what you can. I can't do everything on the list. I don't think many of us can.

But here's what i absolutely am able to do:

I have not bought coffee

I did not go get the snack I was craving yesterday

No streaming shows

Social media: only posting about palestine!

I only heard about the strike on saturday. But that still gave me one day to go get groceries and gas.

If you only found out today, okay, fine. Go buy your groceries today then. Fill gas today. Stop streaming today. Do what you can starting today! It's a week long strike.

I get that there's not a lot here. But if we all at least do this bare minimum, I think it will make a difference.

Global Strike Day 1): Arabian Leopard

[ ID: Digital, semi stylized drawing of an Arabian Leopard curled up, sleeping. It's a large, gray feline with lighter markings and dark rosette spots. There are green leaves doodled around it. Background is plain white. /End ID ]

The Arabian Leopard is a leopard subspecies native to the Arabian Peninsula, but also found in small groups in the Levant, such as in Jordan and Palestine. It is critically endangered, and hasn't been seen in occupied Palestine since the 2010s.
