Hundreds of Palestinian civilians were excavated from mass graves, victims of executions by Israeli occupation forces. Yet, this tragedy failed to enrage Western media outlets, underscoring the glaring double standards in their view of Palestinians.
Israel's allegations against the primary aid relief organization in the Strip prompted many Western countries to swiftly halt their funding to the agency.
However, despite months passing without Israel providing "any evidence," the US and several donors have yet to reinstate their funding. This raises concerns about the double standards many countries exhibit in favor of Israel over Palestinians.
Remember not to stop with Palestine. Colonialism is around the world, both conquering and causing chaos to take advantage of what they have caused.
Don’t forget Sudan. Don’t forget the island nations under colonial and oppressive rule. That includes Hawaii! Don’t forget the natives of the Americas and Australia and New Zealand.
To be clear, Me leaving out nations is not meant to be an insult or minimize them. The list is long and I’m barely scraping the surface. And to be further clear, that is MY fault. I have benefited from this oppression, and I’m still learning more about it and to be further further clear that does NOT absolve me. It’s MY fault I haven’t seen where it all spreads.
Remember: if one of us isn’t free, none of us are!
Iran launches attack on Israel. Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel. In an unprecedented attack that came as retaliation to Israel’s raid on the Iranian consulate. Though 99% of missiles were intercepted by Israel and its allies, such as Jordan. The attack marked a significant escalation in regional tensions.
US vetos Palestinian membership to the UN. The United States vetoed a UN Security Council resolution recommending full membership in the United Nations for Palestine. Algeria introduced the resolution, garnering support from twelve countries. While the UK and Switzerland abstained from voting.
US university protests erupt. US Universities Yale, New York University and Columbia are on edge amidst arrests of pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Faculty at Columbia universities staged a walkout in support of the protests and calls for the resignation of the president of the university, continue to rise as the protest grows.
Drones play sounds of children crying to lure out Palestinians. Israeli drones have been heard playing the sounds of crying children around neighbourhoods in Gaza. In an attempt to lure out concerned Palestinians from their homes. Once out, the concerned Palestinians would be targeted by the IOF.
Settler violence on the rise. Settlers in the West Bank have become increasingly violent towards the Palestinians. Conducting raids in Palestinian towns and setting fire to property under the protection of IOF forces.
Use your voices and platforms to bring attention to what is going on ❗️Your voice and platform no matter how big or small makes a difference. So remember to use it.
It is absolutely wild to see police tackling baby faced 19 year olds and beating up college professors all while the media keeps repeating these protesters are dangerous antisemites.
TODAY: (cw for police brutality if you choose to click the link) police attacked and arrested an econ professor who came across them brutalizing a protester at emory this morning. it cannot be understated how horrifying the rapid escalation of police violence on us college campuses is.
You're questioning whether or not it's a genocide when hospitals are being targeted? Civilians? Aid trucks?! Food kitchens?! Are you serious? The little girl, Hind Rajab, the paramedics who went to save her, all were cleared by Israel then shot dead. The flour massacres. Please be serious. They even killed a camel delivering aid. Which is... not new. Not new.
Libraries and all colleges and universities are being bombed. These are attempts to erase a culture and hold back a people. Doctors killed in their homes. Palestinians in hospitals tortured and buried alive, their bodies found zip-tied, staff still in scrubs. You seriously still believe this isn't a genocide?!
(Unfortunately, no independent investigation is being done, so it's just going to be Israel investigating itself and clearing its own name, time and time again...)
Palestinians get told to travel "safe passages," then bombed by Israel.
It's a genocide. It's not anti-semitic to acknowledge this is a genocide.
