people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”
the flour massacre
these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood
evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing
"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.
An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!
"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!
Right, considering the current state of corporate politics on this site, and that it seems that only those affected seem to be actively speaking on the matter, it is up to I, the only fucking cishet on tumblr, to drag this out to a wider audience.

We need to show these higher ups how much we truly value them.
This is a link to help support Abdullah Al-Saghir’s (“Aboud”)’s family. He has been posting videos of his life on his older brother’s Instagram during the ongoing genocide, trying to bring awareness to the atrocities committed against him and his people. He is only 10 years old.
Here are two of his videos, with english subtitles done by @translating_gaza on Instagram.
And here is his story (read on GoFundMe)
“I am the man Abdullah Al-Saghir, 10 years old, from the city of Khan Yunis. I did not say the child because I was deprived of my childhood.
My father died when I was 7 years old. I, my family, and 8 members were displaced from our big, beautiful house, which would turn into rubble, into a tent, with a disruption in livelihood. And our life begins as hell.
Finally, Sharif, who was married one month before the war, suffered a lot when he built his house, and he did not continue to be happy with it. The house was completely demolished, and my brother Ashraf, who had a chance at the university and was first in the class, did not complete two years at the university, and the university was also demolished and his future was destroyed. My brother Ashraf, who was ambitious, and everyone helped me rebuild what the occupation destroyed in our lives.
We hope that through this support, I and my family will have a better future. The least you can do is publish the link on your social pages.”
People in Gaza have been saying this would happen since the very start, as soon as the occupation started corralling everyone into the southern part of the strip they said this would happen. We watched it happen as the “safe” zones grew smaller and smaller and every time Rafah was targeted by air strikes even before this. And no one who could actually stop this lifted a finger. It’s been 129 days.
i hate this so much. his ass did notttt park in the spot even a little bit. why are you walking like that. why are you a car commercial. where is your backpack. go fix your fucking parking job. this is why bellas human friends ran away as soon as he showed up.
