I hope everyone has a blessed all snakes day!

[sarcastic-kaz]

so basically, from my limited information, it is not okay that germany tried to exterminate the jews, but it is okay when israel commits mass genocide against the palestines because there's a couple terrorists amongst them. got it.

Oppressors want for minorities of all colors, from all places of origin and backgrounds to be against one another or at odds with one another. They want us to be wishy-washy, to be picky and selfish, to be upset and close ourselves off and disconnect from others. I cannot believe that as a group of people we’re still concerned about who did what TO who, who did what FOR who. Who supported who the most when they were being oppressed, whose the better minority, who deserves to suffer most and who doesn’t when at the end of the day the common oppressor doesn’t want any of you to have anything and knows that a non minority group and it’s supremacy, and the teachings of such will drive a hard line between everyone. What sense does that make to be divided in an instance in which people deserve Justice? I thought we learned that race wars and disagreements about who were the most oppressed led to nothing but more violence and more division and pain.

This was really hard because apparently I had never drawn Rome on his own. See that little blue haired fuck in the first drawing, yep, that’s the only drawing of Rome to exist digitally

Rome Outcider. His name was a three way pun. 1. His family made cider. 2. The book the outsiders which is what he is based off of. 3. How he felt, he felt distant from the group despite being loved. The redesign was him mid colour fade, he gradually lost colour over a 5 year time frame, fueled by jealousy and hate. He made himself loose his colours.

He is the villain of my story, and also cannon, since he quite literally stole all the strings to make pop the dominate music form.

Out of the night that covers us,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

We thank whatever gods may be

For our unconquerable souls.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

We have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

Our heads are bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find us, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

We are the masters of our fate:

We are the captains of our souls.

whenever right wing people talk about “parental rights” they are talking about property rights. they are arguing for further political and legal enshrinement of their children as their literal actual property

ICJ Ruling

Okay, let's get into this.

First of all, I get the frustration at the court not ordering a ceasefire. I was disappointed and frustrated at first too, since a ceasefire was the biggest and most important preliminary measure South Africa was requesting - and of course we just all want this horror to finally end for the people in Gaza. So I get the frustration and disappointment, I really do.

However, I do think this ruling is still a major win for South Africa, Palestine, and international law as a whole and here's why:

The court acknowledged that it has jurisdiction over this case and completely dismissed Israel's request to throw out the case as a whole. It will now determine at the merits stage (that will probably take years) whether Israel is actually commiting genocide.

The court acknowledged that Palestinians are a "distinct national or ethnic group and therefore deserving of protection under the genocide convention". Pull this out next time someone tells you "there's no such thing as Palestinians, they're all just Arabs".

The court acknowledged very unambiguously that "at least some" of Israel's actions being genocidal in nature is "plausible". South Africa has a case, officially. Israel is accused of genocide, in a way the ICJ deems "plausible", officially. This is huge. (And seriously, how freaking satisfying was it to hear all of those genocidal statements by Israeli politicians read out loud and used as justification for this rulling?)

The court might not have ordered a "ceasefire" in those words, but they did order Israel to "immediately end all genocidal acts" (which includes killing and injuring Palestinians) and submit proof that they actually did. How are they going to comply with this ruling without at least severly reducing or changing what they're doing in Gaza?

In fact, this wording might actually be more appropriate for a genocide (vs a war), as author and journalist Ali Abunimah notes on Twitter:

He's completely right. Israel lost today, by overwhelming majority (I mean, 15 to 2? I heard people predict the rulings would be very close, like 9 judges vs 8, but instead we got 15 to 2 (and even 16 to 1 on the humanitarian aid). Holy shit.) The court disimissed almost everything Israel's side of lawyers said, while acknowledging that South Africa's accusations are "plausible".

And this is important especially because of Mr Abunimah's second tweet there^. Because the question is, where do we go from here?

This ruling means that Israel is officially /possibly/ commiting genocide and that should have huge international consequences. The rest of the world now HAS to take these accusations seriously and stop arming and supporting Israel - and if they won't do it on their own, we, the people, have to make them. This is THE moment to rise up all around the world, especially in the countries most supportive of Israel (the US, the UK, Germany): Protest, call your representatives and demand a ceasefire and an end of arms deliveries to Israel.

We now have a legal case to back our demands: If Israel is, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" commiting genocide, then all of our governments are, according to the ICJ, "plausibly" guiltly of aiding in genocide. And we need to hold that over their heads and demand better. We need to do that right now and in huge numbers. Most politicians only care about themselves and saving their skin. We have to make them realize that they could be accused of aiding in genocide.

(As a German, I'm thinking of Germany here in particular: After South Africa's hearing, our government dismissed their case as having "no basis" - how are they going to keep saying that now that the ICJ officially thinks otherwise? Over the last months, people here have been arrested at protests for calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide. How are the police supposed to legally keep doing that now that the ICJ has officially deemed this accusation "plausible"? I used to be scared to use the word "genocide" at protests or write it on my protest signs - not anymore, have fun trying to arrest me for that when the ICJ literally has my back on this one 🖕🏻.)

So yeah - don't be defeatist about this, don't let Israel's narrative that they "won" (they didn't) take over. This might not be everything we wanted, but it's still a good result. Don't let what the court didn't say ("ceasefire"), distract you from the very important things that they did say. Let this be your motivation to get loud and active, especially if you live in any country that supports Israel. Put pressure on your governments to not be complicit in genocide, you now officially have the highest international court on your side.

Top Whistleblower Dr. Rima Laibow

You are going to want to watch this video interview from Dr. Rima Laibow. The beginning of the video shows an older interview that Dr. Laibow granted Governor Jesse Ventura in 2009, and is followed by an updated interview that Dr. Laibow recently did with Alex Jones. Scary stuff, my friends, but this is the reality we are facing right now. Top Whistleblower Dr Rima Laibow Warns Globalists…

I’ve said this before, but I always found stories that frame heaven as “evil” and hell as “good” (or less bad) to be genuinely boring. I like more nuanced approaches to each realm.

I understand that for a lot of people, Christianity is a religion they like to criticize and mock, but I feel like if you don’t even understand the fundamentals of the religion, why even attempt to critique it?

This is Berlin tonight, marching in MASSIVE numbers for Gaza 🇵🇸

Wow… Incredible!

[cooki3face]

I saw a video earlier I’ll put the link in right here that said that Israel is cutting off access to wifi and that meta apps like Instagram and Facebook are already censoring the content that we’re able to have access to and the news isn’t going to have coverage either because Israel “doesn’t want us to see what they’re about to do to Palestine.” I feel like I wish that there was more I could say but after that statement the little fucking line at the end of my sentence just keeps fucking blinking.

Reuniting? Dividing? The wizarding world is a Chaotic place. The war is over...or is it? Bit of a AU, featuring a Darkish Fem!HP/SS. Warning- bit of violence, bashing, a touch of smut, and character death. Rated M, just in case. COMPLETE

Excerpt:

The development follows the recovery of hundreds of bodies “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste” over the weekend at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, central Gaza, and at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City in the north. A total of 283 bodies were recovered at Nasser Hospital, of which 42 were identified. 

“Among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded, while others were found tied with their hands…tied and stripped of their clothes,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.
