I don't know how long this will last, but the situation here in Gaza is getting worse every day after the war between Iran and Israel. I forgot about Gaza. No one talks about us anymore, and the news doesn't mention us. All that is being discussed is Iran, Israel, and America.It's as if they forgot that the main problem is Gaza.

feeling such severe anxiety in my stomach at the thought of iran going through the Jahanaam that american troops put iraq and afghanistan through. what israel is putting gaza through. this is not even an exaggeration if i think about it too much i get so overwhelmed with sadness and fear about the incoming destruction and wanton death from the war machine. how many precious lives and buildings from thousands and thousands of years going to be reduced to rubble. for oil and for power and for the blatant dehumanization of SWANA people.

and it feels like a mindfuck seeing americans just focused on “america preys on the poor to fight her wars” like FUCK THOSE GUYS. i am not giving a drop of any empathy to anyone who is currently enlisted the fuck?????

Horrifying to think about the impunity of the West. Horrifying to witness Western terrorists dehumanizing whole communities and then audaciously couching it as a necessary stepping stone to peace. A city was continuously bombed and put under seige for over 21 months in the name of Jewish safety, and the West upheld the opinion that this is not a genocide.

Please consider helping this Sudanese family! 13 family members rely on it since they are surviving a 2 year-long gencoide in Sudan. The country is going through the worst famine, and there is a cholera breakout!

Donate and share. They have been fundraising for a year, but donations have been painfully slow. It is the point where they have decided to lower the goal of 20K to 10K! There is $4,032 USD left to go! You can match me! I have given $5 USD, but you're more than welcome to give any amount!

This fundraiser is vetted by sudanfunds.com!

hi, as you may know internet blackout have been very frequent the past week in Gaza. theres also a reason for that: amid the zionist's agression on Iran, the occupation has been trying to shift more and more attention from their genocide in Gaza. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN ONE OF THE DEADLIEST BY TUESDAY ALREADY. at least 100 people lose their lives daily at so called "aid" checkpoint, which are in reality just slaughter zones.

not only are they suffering from the continuous bombing of Gaza, but from the massacres taking place whenever people gather for food. bombings, illness, thirst, hunger, the ongoing siege, and the closure of the crossings. these are all things that palestinians have to face daily, and have been facing for the past 2 years almost

Can people from the United States stop making jokes about “WW3 😜”….there are people in Iran evacuating their neighborhoods, places they grew up, and all YOU are experiencing is watching the news and a few TikToks….

You are not at war, you will most likely never see war, and if your “dark humor” is coming at the expense of others then it is not dark humor, you’re just an asshole.

If a regional war breaks out between Iran and Israel, Gaza will be forgotten. We will continue to suffer this suffering and will not be mentioned in anything. We will be forgotten forever.

I don’t understand why so many people have stopped supporting Palestine...

Right now, we are sleeping in the streets just to reach American aid. Our lives are in serious danger, surrounded by tanks, all for a bag of flour or some lentils to feed our families.

Gaza has turned into a dark and desperate place because of hunger and the lack of basic necessities. The situation we are living through is beyond difficult.

i have 2 main thoughts on the perceived hypocrisy of ppl cheering for bombing israel or whatever it is that the people who are "against suffering on both sides" will be critiquing at the current moment

the first is that there are some people who have a relatively principled anti-war or anti-violence stance. they simply do not like violence against civilians and don't find it justifiable, and they usually use international humanitarian law as their basis for what is and isn't acceptable. i respect that point of view and to a very strong extent i share it. i see people across the world with this stance btw, including friends in gaza, and they are usually either human rights lawyers, journalists, people who are exhausted by war and people who are just very kind. i respect and appreciate these people a lot. so i do mean it sincerely.

however, one of the other principles i have is i do not hold oppressed people to a higher standard than their oppressors. it doesn't matter what my personal opinion on something is, what matters is whether i have a right to express it or to critique a people with no other options. i don't like violence personally. but i am not going to mention that when i see people cheering for the elimination of their colonial oppressors. this is again why it is and continues to be important to understand colonial and imperial relationships, because the post-WWII human rights framework was meant to replace these relationships, and if it has not done so effectively then we must use anti-colonial strategy as a reference. and anti-colonial resistance is inherently violent because of colonial methods and violence, and because of the absence of international humanitarian law and its contemporary variations.

when the rule of law is restored, i'll talk in terms of human rights. but the absence of it was something the US is responsible for and all of us (the collective global south) really wanted and have warned against over and over again for the past two years. so no, i will not be holding any colonized people to a higher standard than their oppressors. given the extent of zionist atrocities, there is no situation in which palestinians will ever pass that threshold, because in order to do so they will need to fundamentally change the entire structure of the world. palestinians will never be capable of starving israeli children en masse or enforcing systemic, militarized occupation and in the event that they can do so then they will no longer be a colonized people but a formerly colonized people with substantial power of their own, in which case different moral and legal standards will apply.

the second thought i have is that human life has generally become cheap, and there is nobody more responsible for that than the US and its proxies. there was a perception that you could kill millions of people in the global south, from darfur to yemen to iraq, over the past two decades and that this would only cheapen the blood of people from the global south. and maybe on a geopolitical basis, it's true. but morally and ethically, people don't actually care anymore. and this is because mass death has been completely normalized. when israel says something like "why do you even care about 50,000 (incorrect number) palestinians being killed when half a million syrians were killed?" they don't understand that this applies to them too. it even applied on 9/11, and many americans thought this was the height of evil. but the truth is around the world nobody cares if a thousand americans or israelis are killed because thousands of people are killed to no consequence daily. for the past 76 years israelis thought killing palestinians constantly only makes palestinian blood cheap and israeli blood valuable. in reality it made everyone very cold to israeli suffering. i have met israelis who justify that as "of course the stronger side has less casualties" as though this is case-closed, reasonable logic. it is the law of the jungle, the justification of the jungle, and it should not be remotely surprising when it applies to you too.

the problem is when geopolitical calculations insist that cannot be the case against all logic. they insist that (some) american, israeli or ukrainian civilians do deserve the world to stop for them. when it's politically convenient, troops will amass in their memory and politicians will instantly tweet to condemn it. and this insistence becomes very polarizing and hostile. its why so many people are unsympathetic to ukrainians through no fault of their own, because they perceive that ukrainians were treated as though their life has greater value than the average person, and they have no sympathy for it. this is entirely due to the US's position on ukraine in exception to the rest of the world. but if you point out that hundreds of thousands of people were killed with no NATO alignment or EU refugee fast track, it gets called "oppression olympics" (a term i detest). if you point out that there is a fundamental racism to it, you get accused of monstrous dehumanization. but like. that's the world you built. when you let people die anywhere without consequence, it cheapens human life for everyone. and the forced valuation of some life more than others, to insist that some lives could not have been cheapened the way these others were cheapened, creates a very ugly dynamic that we see now across the world. i agree that it's ugly and it's bleak. but you made the sandwich.

Adriana Smith’s neonate was delivered today, 3 months early (around 28 weeks).

She will finally be allowed to rest and taken off of life support.

Her family’s fundraiser is nowhere near its goal, and now they have tremendous NICU costs to look forward to based on how her son was able (or unable) to develop under the duress of all those life saving drugs they pumped his mom full of.

Please allow this mother’s spirit to rest and support their family as they’re finally allowed to grieve poor Adriana being used as an incubator for the state.
