If anyone ever asks me why I choose wholeheartedly to support Palestine over Israel, even if I might not know all the facts, even if Hamas might be the big villains everyone says they are, I will tell them;

It is not a “war” if one side has beds, food, clean water, and luxuries like cake and tv, while the other side starves and dies from inaccessibility to live saving medicine.

It is not a “conflict” if one side can laugh and smile and have fun making signs, while the other side lives in fear, knowing that any day they might die.

It is nothing but a genocide, because Israel has a constant influx of weapons and resources, while Gazans (even Hamas) have a slowly draining pool of broken and bad quality resources.

It is only a war, if both sides can fight, it is only a conflict, if both sides are struggling.

-I'm so unhappy -I don't care.

i'm actually so fucking sick of zionists using phrases such as "Was it worth it, Hamas?" cause literally what the fuck are y'all yapping about??? Israel has been indiscriminately bombing gaza in front of our eyes since last October, Israel has murdered more than 30 thousands Palestinians within 5 months, Israel is forcefully starving gaza, Israel is the one committing war crimes everyday, Israel is continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Israel. is. illegally. occupying. Palestine.

we all know who are the perpetrators here. and zionists can't gaslight people into "hamas started it" bullshit anymore. everyone is actually sick of Israel's dumb colonialism propaganda where they just repeat same old tactics “how dare you palestinians resist us, after we have your stolen land, freedom, human rights and subjugated your people under fascist colonial regime.”

Israel carry out atrocities in broad daylight and then go ahead blame Palestinian resistance for the said act of savagery they've performed, "O their audacity!" indeed!

Rafah? As in the "Evacuate here, it's a safe spot while we bomb the rest of Palestine" Rafah? The Rafah that most of the remaining Palestinians have been forcibly packed into as a supposed safe zone? That Rafah?

How people can still deny a genocide is beyond me

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I saw people do this & adopted it myself, and it’s actually been super helpful—set a daily reminder to do your arab.org click of the day. It has been said ad nauseam at this point, but if each person in the thousands of people who engage on palestine posts clicked on this, we’d be raising thousands in revenue towards humanitarian aid. Don’t think your one little click is unnecessary. It adds up fast—but only if you actually do it.

A lot of people asked how they can help if they don’t have funds to spare. This is the most passive way to raise donations towards Palestinian aid.

2 months without my father seem so long, yet it still feels like it never happened.

I have to stop myself sometimes from asking my mom how is he doing.

I forget.

I'm so glad my bf's birthday is coming soon, so I can at least help him a bit with gifts and attention.

having to talk my boyfriend out of his suicidal thoughts while also being suicidal myself and having just lost my father so death is all around is... something

it's so hard to make someone believe something you don't believe yourself but thinking about the profound sadness and grief that hit me when my father died that was never about me, but only about him: how he can't live his life anymore, can't so the things he liked anymore, can't enjoy good food, can't watch his favorite movies, can't dance, can't listen to music he liked, can't enjoy the feeling of being a grandfather

that's the only thing i could tell him, because other than this... how can i tell him people will suffer and never be the same when i know that thought doesn't matter

Trying to explain to my boyfriend who has a very hard time trying to have empathy that the promises I give and the responsability I feel for my cousin is not just my self-sacrifing nature, but the nature of a healthy family bond
