‘Keep going because you’re our only hope’: Palestinian journalist’s mess...
Please watch this speech by Bisan. Keep protesting. Keep making actions. Keep spreading the word and educating. It's working and making an actual difference in the world. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, your efforts matter and we need to keep standing up against this genocide and oppression. I wish the best for the pro-palestinian students and everyone actively protesting. Free Palestine!
being on a politically active campus is terrifying sometimes. genuinely sending good vibes to everyone standing in solidarity with Palestine. you ARE making a difference. people are taking notice and demanding change. the more voices there are, the more we are heard. it's become impossible to not take notice.
ETA: Nancy Pelosi is pressing charges against activists (I’m unclear if it’s the same people as above, tho in this case It’s Red paint and not manure) for $400 in damages to her property (that’s right a multi-billionaire is bringing felony charges against protestors).
I keep mentioning in my tags and in a post recently that World War II was allowed to happen because Hitler started conquering Germany's neighbors.
The world didn't interfere at the time due to 1) not wanting to start another war so soon after WWI, and 2) The Great Depression was nearing its end, but still happening.
Hitler's excuse at the time was to "reunite Germany" since part of the treaty of WWI was taking all of Germany's military away and splitting the country. They brought it to its knees as much as possible. So when Germany started taking that back, when they started rebuilding their army, it was illegal to do so because of the treaty, but no one stopped them.
Things only escalated to a full-on war when Hitler invaded Poland, after being threatened not to do so by several other countries. He did it anyway.
This is what we are currently seeing in Palestine right now.
What Israel is doing is, by international law, illegal. The people who have the power to stop them are not doing so. Israel is operating under an excuse ("self-defense," and religious zionists support them because they are "taking back the Holy land and fulfilling God's promise" or whatever), and Israel is now attacking Lebanon and Yemen.
They're just going to keep going.
I've been hesitant to call Israel a Nazi state due to the sheer amount of baggage that comes with that, but there is no denying it at this point. They're neo-nazi fascists who are following in their own oppressors footsteps, spreading hatred and violence to other parts of the world while no one in power stops them. Hell, even worse, this time around, the people in power are fucking funding it.
If you think this "war" won't affect you, think again.
If you ask me, looking back on history, if we don't put a stop to this in its tracks soon, then I fear this is only the beginning.
Know your history. Stand with Palestine. Ceasefire NOW.
And if boycotting Starbucks in solidarity with Palestine works then so will boycotting technology in solidarity with Congo 🇨🇩❤️
We have to keep talking about world issues and advocating for freedom of all countries living under occupation. We have to keep continuously boycotting and protesting and speaking out against genocide and war crimes and evil in the world.
...i am seething... words arent enough... words are not enough...
"Four women at Arizona State University ASU had their hijabs removed by police following their arrest. In the blurred image, the police are seen removing the hijab from one of the four women and subsequently placing a hoodie over her head after she asked for it to be placed." from Land Palestine, 29/Apr/2024:
Drew this in support of Palestine, it is horrifying to hear about what is happening right now. Please never stop talking about it, never stop protesting, boycotting. We can make a difference and people's lives depend on it. I will not let genocide go ignored and unnoticed, my blog will mostly be Palestine related art for a while. I just can't let myself ignore a genocide. I've been quiet too long, I need to make my voice heard
