A fun little froggo for another Hamal Iyur project
These are the things I want to illustrate and do with my time. Instead I find myself full of darkness and rage at the entire world for having to justify my existence as a Jewish Israeli person after seeing my people's collective nightmare come true (yet again).
"We put Palestinians in cages and killed them. One of us raped a sixteen-year-old girl; some of us ran after them with flame throwers and burned them."
Zionist soldier, while laughing in an Interview with the Israeli channel Hot 8:
The best thing about Israelis is how they casually announce their crimes when speaking in Hebrew.
Completely different to how they speak in English, where they make a bit more effort to conceal their atrocities.
A great video for anyone who thinks history began on Oct 7:
I decided to participate in the trend of drawing Hatsune Miku as part of your culture! I've seen a lot of people drawing her in traditional outfits, and others choosing to give her a more day to day look. I decided to go the "Israeli but not necessarily religious" route. My concept was her being cool and putting her feet on the table, because there's nothing more Israeli than not being polite! (I am half joking half not. Our culture is more casual and sometimes it does result in chaos). I didn't have ideas for the outfit, so I asked the people of Tumblr for advice:
Here are the answers I got:
As you can see, I reblogged it with the drawing, but I don't know how many people saw it, so I'm making it it's own post.
Some bonus content I did not include:
I documented the process. Kind of. I started with this:
Vintage stamps by the Israeli Society for the Protection of Nature depicting the Sinai rosefinch (Carpodacus synoicus) and the Ornate mastigure (Uromastyx ornata) a spiny-tailed lizard, both of which are endemic to Egypt and parts of the southern Levant as well as South West asia.
Organisms exist independently from states and borders, which are man made constructs. Still humans have always had complex relationships with nature around them and species can have deep, ancient and diverse cultural meaning for many different peoples at once.
Just living in the Gaza Strip means that you are experiencing a new catastrophe and suffering every hour
Let me explain the topic to you in a simple way
This means that every hour you will see your brother, friend, or acquaintance brutally killed in front of you.
It means that you will see your little brother die of hunger and disease (from the Al-Kafarna family in the northern Gaza Strip)
This means that you will struggle to provide drinking water.
It means that you will suffer just because you want to enter the bathroom and find no water or paper to clean yourself.
This means that you will be exposed to poisoning because the food allowed to be brought into Gaza is spoiled or spoiled inside Gaza due to the lack of refrigerators.
It means you won't find a cure for a headache or any other illness due to the lack of medicines.
It means that you will see an Israeli tank run over your mother while she is alive, while you are tied hand and foot amid the laughter of the occupation soldiers.
It means seeing your home, built with sweat and toil over 13 years of work, destroyed by air raids for no reason.
That means a doctor amputates his 16-year-old disabled daughter's foot at home without anesthesia because she was hit by a tank shell, and the army does not allow them to leave the house to go to the hospital.
This is a small, indivisible part of the reality of Palestinians in Gaza. Despite this, we endure and say we will not leave our land and will rebuild our destroyed homes.
All we ask of you is to support us in providing water, food, and rebuilding homes."
