Joe Biden would rather risk full on war than stop genocide.

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.
So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.
Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.
Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.
This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.
The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon

Today 40 Palestinians died in an Israeli shelling of homes in central Gaza, while more than 100 were severely injured (majority women and children). Yesterday Israel bombed Syria, killing two. Israel also bombed Lebanon, killing a woman and a girl.
Just to be crystal clear—Israel is now simultaneously bombing Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria.

Free Palestine - ceasefire now!
There is currently a strike for Palestine taking place from February 18th, 2024, to February 25th, 2024. During this time, I will only be posting about Palestine on this account and doing what I can to spread awareness. If you are able, I highly recommend participating in the strike in whatever way you are able - something is always better than nothing. Staying home from work and/or school, not buying anything that isn't strictly necessary, using your social media platforms only to boost posts about Palestine, etc., are all ways to help the efforts!
Below are various links for ways you can help Palestine, including educational resources, petitions, fundraisers, etc. If you have any to add on, please do, these are just the ones I've found so far.
Palestine Red Crescent Society
Palestine Children's Relief Fund
eSims For Gaza
Decolonize Palestine (Patreon)
Jewish Voice For Peace
Help Gaza Children

in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.
we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.
at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.
there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.
it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution matters, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.

We are very close to a temporary 5 day ceasefire in order to exchange women and children hostages and allow aid into Gaza.
I hope everyone continues to put pressure on their local representatives and urge them to call for a ceasefire to ensure the Israeli government allows this to happen. If you’re from the UK, US, Canada or Australia here is a linktree with resources on how you can call/email your local reps

tumblr as a company has clearly sided with israel (running pro-israel propaganda & misinformation ads, blocking/suppressing the palestine tag and many related tags) at this point if you pay for ad free browsing, badges, or merch you are enabling this. tumblr is not playing both sides, they are not acting neutrally, they are on the side of genocide. do not support this company

Ok I've decided to make some basic resources for anti-Zionist Jews who feel really alone and want to connect with each other or with our culture or history.
Reading List
Traces of History: Elementary Structures of Race
The Making of Jewish Revolutionaries in the Pale of Settlement
Twenty Years with the Jewish Labor Bund A Memoir of Interwar Poland
Crisis, Revolution, and Russian Jews
Colonial Paradigms of Violence: Comparative Analysis of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Mass Killing
The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History
With Freedom in Our Ears: Histories of Jewish Anarchism
A Fire in Their Hearts: Yiddish Socialists in New York
How Jews Became White Folks: And What That Says About Race in America
Modern Middle Eastern Jewish Thought: Writings on Identity, Politics, and Culture, 1893–1958
A History of Egyptian Communism Jews and Their Compatriots in Quest of Revolution
The Sultan's Communists: Moroccan Jews and the Politics of Belonging
On the Arab-Jew, Palestine, and Other Displacements: Selected Writings of Ella Shohat
Three Worlds: Memoirs of an Arab-Jew
When We Were Arabs: A Jewish Family’s Forgotten History
The Arab Jews: A Postcolonial Reading of Nationalism, Religion, and Ethnicity
(Do also check out Decolonize Palestine for the original resources as well as the reading list that centres Palestinians themselves)
News and Magazines
Jewish Currents [United States]
Treyf Podcast [Montreal, Quebec, Canada] (sadly defunct but you can listen to their older, archived podcasts which include some great interviews)
Edit: I think it's also worth adding The Electronic Intifada. It's not explicitly Jewish, but it often features interviews with and opinion pieces by anti-Zionist Jews while primarily being an outlet for Palestinians themselves.
Organisations
Jewish Voice for Peace [United States]
IfNotNow [United States]
Independent Jewish Voices Canada [Canada]
Jewdas [United Kingdom]
Jews Against Fascism [Australia]
Dayenu: New Zealand Jews Against Occupation [Aotearoa / New Zealand]
Sh'ma Koleinu – Alternative Jewish Voices [Aotearoa / New Zealand]
Synagogues
Tzedek [Chicago, Illinois, United States]
Chavurah For A Free Palestine at Kehilla Community Synagogue [Piedmont, California, United States]
Edit: Have also been told I can add Kadima Reconstructionist Community [Seattle, Washington, United States] to the list!

If you don't have the capacity to process everything that is happening in Palestine, that's fine -- donate to one of the non-politically motivated charities that has boots on the ground there:
https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org
https://www.anera.org
https://www.mausa.org
If you can only send $1, that's still $1 more that they have to spend on aid. Everything helps, and money always talks.

gaza has just been completely cut off from the world.
after increased intensity of israeli aistrikes tonight, the last cable providing communications was destroyed. telecommunications have been completely cut off. they cannot reach one another. they cannot reach paramedics. the red crescent society has completely lost contact with their branch in gaza. nobody inside can reach anyone inside, and especially not outside of gaza to tell us what is going on. this is a complete atrocity.
