This is not my usual content but I need to speak out.

Israel's war crimes against the people of Gaza are atrocious. The frequency and viciousness with which they keep on attacking and killing civilians and children (literal babies. Toddlers.) is reprehensible.

The fact that the entire world raged for Ukraine (who had the military power to defend themselves) but not Palestine (which has a population of 2 million half of whom are CHILDREN) is utterly baffling to me. Where is the justice???? Why the misinformation!

This is genocide! This is a genocide! This is a genocide!

We are in the 21st century! A genocide is happening right before our eyes and NO ONE is acting!

Where is the justice? How is this fair?

ISRAEL BOMBED A HOSPITAL!

This is a gross breach of the Geneva Conventions! I literally did research on this!

Israel bombed a hospital. They killed children. They attacked civilians.

What more needs to happen for people to wake up to this genocide?

Open your eyes people. Open your eyes. People are dying, genocide is happening.

What did they ever do to deserve this?

They have since left four premature babies to decompose on their beds. They have since kidnapped, stripped, tortured civilians and tried to frame them as Hamas fighters for their propaganda. They have since shot people at refugee camps execution style. They have since targeted academics and poets and directors. They have since killed 86 journalists. Still no ceasefire.

psa: i know that many of us did NOT doubt this for a second, neither did i. this is targeted at the people who educated themselves for the first time about this genocide and discovered the absolute horrific things that Israel is capable of doing to Palestinians, with the unwavering support of its allies.

They asked the displaced people to go to Rafah! Now there is a bombings next to Al-Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, very close to us!!!! — Ahmed El-Madhoun from #Gaza (@madhoun95) December 20, 2023

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.

grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.

Palestinian journalists in GAZA strip were killed by Israel..

A hospital administrator in Gaza has refused Israeli orders to evacuate, calling such a move medically “impossible” as he begged the international community to pressure Israel to dial back.

“I am refusing this because I cannot discharge our patients,” Dr Ahmed Mhanna, who manages two Al-Awda Hospital branches, said.

He explained too many patients in his care are suffering from gunshot and shrapnel wounds and cannot be moved.

In a video diary, Mhanna appealed to world political forces to persuade Israel to dial back on rockets being launched in Gaza.

“I'm asking all members, international societies, and Red Cross and WHO, and in law societies international to (put) pressure on the Israeli government to stop these procedures against the civilians and to stop that attack,” he said.

“Stop the war. Stop the bombs being against our civilians.”

From the 00s but they still use the same playbook. And yet people still buy it.

If you remain neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.

November 11, 2023—Hospitals in Gaza have been under relentless bombardment over the past 24 hours. Al-Shifa Hospital complex, the biggest health facility where staff for Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres (MSF) are still working, has been hit several times, including the maternity and outpatient departments, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.

The hostilities around the hospital have not stopped. MSF teams and hundreds of patients are still inside Al-Shifa Hospital. MSF urgently reiterates its calls to stop the attacks against hospitals, for an immediate ceasefire, and for the protection of medical facilities, medical staff, and patients.

“We are being killed here, please do something," texted one of MSF's nurses from the basement of Al-Shifa Hospital this morning, where he and his family were sheltering from the incessant bombing. “Four or five families are sheltering now in the basement, the shelling is so close, my kids are crying and screaming in fear.”

"The situation in Al-Shifa is truly catastrophic," said Ann Taylor, MSF's Head of Mission in Palestine. "We call on the Israeli government to cease this unrelenting assault on Gaza’s health system. Our staff and patients are inside Al-Shifa Hospital, where the heavy bombing has not stopped since yesterday.” [...]

MSF denounces this death warrant on civilians currently trapped in Al-Shifa Hospital signed by the Israeli military. There needs to be an urgent and unconditional ceasefire between all warring parties; humanitarian aid must be supplied to the entirety of Gaza now.

At Al-Quds Hospital, MSF has lost contact with a surgeon who is working and sheltering there with his family. Other health facilities, including Al Rantisi Hospital, which MSF has also supported in the past, were reportedly surrounded by Israeli tanks.

Israel immediately broke the ceasefire by the way.

This is the devastating reality in gaza.

Even if children don't lose their lives during the bombing, they lose their limbs, their loved ones. You know how many kids who lost their legs loved playing football? How many loved to run and walk and ride a bike? How many lost their arms who can no longer feel it, no longer wear a bracelet around their wrist? There are kids who lost their eyesight due to the bombing And getting crushed under the rubble. Keep demanding a ceasefire, this should not still be happening. 44th day.

so is it just a weird coincidence that blinken suggested al-jazeera limit coverage of bombings in gaza and then idf targets the family of al-jazeera's bureau chief in gaza

Nurse Mohammed Saeed reports dozens of injured people and martyrs flooding into Al-Shifa Hospital after a bombing attack on a group of civilians on Al-Nadeem Street. I currently cannot find any other information about this, but will update with details when more are known.

The Arabic text says “عشرات الشهداء يصلو من استهداف شارع النديم”, meaning “dozens of martyrs [from] the Al-Nadeem Street bombing.”

maybe tumblr will listen if i speak its language: remember in 2020 when we all had to sit down and realize that everyone has internalized racism? that everyone has prejudices even if they don't realize it? being antisemitic is more than sitting around wearing a swastika saying you want jews to die. take a look inside yourself and you'll find antisemitism there, too. it's time to address it.
