and i don't mean stop talking about palestine or stop sharing news or information, i'm saying stop TALKING. you are not our white saviors. you should not talk over us. every single thing you guys are saying, palestinians have said it tenfold. stop feeling as though you are the spokesperson for all of palestine. you do not get to talk over palestinian voices. you must BOOST our voices. you must share OUR voices. you must speak OUT about SHARING our voices. we are and have been saying everything you're saying only now for 75 years. you don't get to prounce around all up here and claim you're suddenly a voice for palestinians. we have our own voices. we have said everything. stop taking the light away from us sharing our experiences and pretending as though you have a part or a role in talking about our grief.
we need people to share OUR voices. we need people to share OUR dreams. OUR lives. OUR strength. we do not need you to speak for us, we need you to help find a place for US to speak.
i'm so tired of the idea that "no one listens to the poc so we as white people must speak for them because everyone only listens to white people". i'm tired. MAKE THEM LISTEN TO US. do not speak for us, but share OUR voices. FORCE the world to LISTEN to US.
BOOST OUR VOICES. SHARE OUR STRUGGLES. OUR DREAMS. OUR STRENGTH. MAKE THEM LISTEN. MAKE THE WORLD LISTEN.
A panel of UN experts has condemned violence against women and children perpetrated by the Israeli military.
“We are appalled that women are being targeted by Israel with such vicious, indiscriminate and disproportionate attacks, seemingly sparing no means to destroy their lives and deny them their fundamental human rights,” said an independent panel of experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council.
The experts slammed reports of sexual assault and violence against women and girls, including against those detained by Israeli occupation forces.
They added that women and girls in Gaza have faced enforced disappearances.
They also condemned the “appalling” treatment of pregnant women as a result of the Israeli bombardment of hospitals.
They noted that Israeli forces had also destroyed Gaza’s largest fertility clinic, reported to have been storing 3,000 embryos.
The report was drafted by special rapporteurs, who are assigned by he UN Human Rights Council, but whose statements are not official UN positions.
We have become ashamed of ourselves as we publish a fundraising campaign, to help us and save my family
We have great hope for you, and that you will help my large family, which consists of 42 members of my family
Did you know that my brother has special conditions, and has had complete quadriplegic cerebral palsy since birth? He is 31 years old and has been lying on his back all his life and does not move, and he has not harmed anyone since his birth.
My daughter dreams of living in safety like any child in the world, and our women who are exhausted by this fierce war on Gaza.
We hope for you. Donate generously now, because if the army withdraws from Rafah, we will be able to travel as quickly as possible and not wait any longer, because our lives are very difficult.
Share the post so the world can see how we live
Donate generously, and Allah will give you better and more abundant things
My brothers, we do not want to embarrass you, so share a blog post every day: @fairuzfan @sar-soor @plomegranate @fallahifag @vakarians-babe @ibtisams @ibtisams-blog @palestine @gazikacmislaflar @90-ghost
