Ghazzah was once a thriving sea port, a center of medical knowledge, well-known for its textiles and beautiful patterns. It was a culinary wonder, and the food was well-known for the people's use of chili peppers in most of their dishes. Ghazzah was always special, not just within Palestine but within the broader region it existed at nearly the center of.

Ghazzah has since become a graveyard for children, through occupation, through Western imperialism, through their genocide of us. Through hatred and propaganda it was justified, by all of Western media, and the occupation's 'Hasbara' propaganda machine.

The people of Ghazzah and the city and its culture and its history have always been exceptional, that scared them; it scared them that they couldn't steal that from us. So they tried to tear it down. The circumstances imposed on us are not who we are.

please where's that twitter thread where one person tagged another person in a cute tweet or photo like "this is us <33" and then the other person was like "can you stop fucking tagging me? i'm so sick of you" and the original tagger was like fuck off. that's me and egypt

It’s really heartening how much people on this site came together to help Ahmed @90-ghost. He’s in Egypt now with his younger brother waiting on his mom and older brother to join them. The issue now is living expenses. Life is extremely difficult for displaced people, and the future is uncertain. If you’ve ever wondered how you can help a Palestinian displaced by the genocide, here’s one way to do so.

columbia administration is threatening to call in the national guard tonight

happy lesbian visibility week

by the way, you guys need to reevaluate the way you act if you think a palestinian on tumblr is only valid if they have gone through some form of unspeakable tragedy.

if you only interact with our posts when we post about our trauma or the death of our family members or friends or something of that sort, please take a step back.

because we don’t have to adhere to your perfect victim narrative. and more importantly, none of us actually owe you that information. and you need to listen to us and the things we say, even if we don’t share our trauma online with a bunch of strangers, and even if we haven’t gone through some indescribable and horrible event

many people don't know this but there are starbucks in the middle east except that they're placed strategically so as to be just as far away from civilization as to ensure that by the time visitors travel deep enough into the desert for it, their steps start getting unsteady and the camera starts wobbling from the heat and they just barely have enough strength to drop to their knees at the oasis and start lapping at the white chocolate mocha blended iced frappucino lake

can't stop thinking about that one tweet that says "there's starbucks in egypt?" in response to the news of egypt's success in boycotting starbucks

Please don't forget Armenians

Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.

Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?

Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.

Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!
