decolonization presentation
So for context, this is regarding a conversation I had a few weeks ago with one of the cofounders of an international organization that I volunteer at.
I spoke to the cofounder, and we were discussing the Palestinian cause in general, but more specifically the ongoing Gaza genocide.
From our conversation, I understood from her that she as a cofounder of this organization had the means to speak out about Palestine and have the organization and all of its platforms, be a space and a place for raising Palestinian voices, yet as she is not extremely educated on the topic, she does not know where to start or what would be the proper way to advocate for Palestine… (especially that doing so could get the organization into legal trouble because it’s in a European country with very strict pro israel policies and laws)
We agreed on having an online meeting where I create some sort of presentation to educate her on the Palestinian cause, and why it’s historically and morally important to speak out about Palestine and educate her on some of the highlights in Palestinian history, especially modern Palestinian history.
As a Palestinian myself, it is quite hard to pick and choose what are the most important points and bullet points that I should include in this presentation that i’ll be making very soon, so I thought that I should take this to Tumblr to take ideas from everyone on here, because I would also love to hear from non-Palestinian folks that are educated on the Palestinian cause to any degree what they think on how I could educate this individual on the Palestinian cause…
so I need your thoughts and opinions on the following points :
What are the most significant reasons why one should speak out about Palestine from a moral perspective?
What are the most important historical events in Palestinian history that I should mention besides the 1948 Nakba?
How do I convince this person of the importance of speaking out about such a humanitarian crisis? (because it’s important to me that they advocate for Palestine because they’re convinced of the importance of this cause, and not only because of me being a Palestinian active member of the organization)
How do I emphasize on the point that speaking out about such a cause is more important than worrying about the criticism that comes with being pro Palestine?
What are some easy-to-understand & informational/educational and preferably short pieces of media that I could recommend to this person so that she would be motivated to learn more about the Palestinian cause?
I would appreciate all & any suggestions by anyone on here wether you’re Palestinian or Non-Palestinian, and if you feel like sending me a message with all of your ideas rather than leaving them in the comments section, please feel free to do so !!
PS. if the meeting with this cofounder is successful, there will probably be another meeting held for me educate other staff members of the organization including the other cofounders, so by contributing to this initiative you’d be making a change in the mindsets of many people who come from various backgrounds and cultures, which means they might also spread that awareness and knowledge in their own wider social circles, and that way your contribution doesn’t stop only at changing 1 person’s way of viewing the Palestinian cause :)

As the Sky Falls Over Us.
New York, a city that always crowded, bright and loud, the city that never slept and most importantly, home of the Ninja Turtles! a team of four teenage turtle mutants that went by the names of Raphael, Donatello, Leonardo and Michealanglo, heroes of the world.
The team of turtles sat atop a building, 'scouting' and defiantly not messing around while the oldest's chasm grew larger, "We're on a MISSION, not a jungle gym" Raphael spoke, sounded a bit agitated as Leo poked the soft shell's cheek, pausing and looking at Raph for good measure. "Relaxxxxx~ no one has been in trouble since we took out the Kraang, chillax, your Chasm only gets bigger~" Leonardo teased, giving a smug look to the eldest Mutant. Donatello pushed Leo's hand away with a mechanical claw, "BUT, something could happen! and you didn't even bring your battle shell! that took hours!" Leo scoffed, "my shell is FINE! I do not need it, I appreciate the work, hermano, I really do, but there's no trouble" Donnie sighed.
During the Kraang's attack Leonardo's shell had been messed up really bad... everything had. The shell and plastron protects all vital organs so it being weak and fragile made Raphael worry, it made everyone worry, except the turtle himself, who refused to lay on his back and winced visibly when it was touched. Of course, as the genius the soft shell turtle was, he made a perfect fit battle shell, not as complex as his own but stronger and more cushioned on the inside than his, not like he'd admit that, not in a thousand years.
Leonardo blew a raspberry, "nothin' it gonna happen anyway, no action, no villains, as the leader I say we go home and eat some pizza!" he cheered, Mikey perked at that, looking up from his mystic chains he'd been practicing, "...I mean, it couldn't hurt, no one as attacked, everyone is still recovering from the attack, especially you, Leo." Raphael sighed but nodded, "fine, Donnie, keep all your tech cameras on banks, museums and stuff like that, just in case.." he side eyed Leo, who was talking to Mikey now.
After riding back to the sewers in the new and improved Turtle Tank 2.0 everyone grabbed a slice of pizza from the leftovers of last night and sat down to eat in the living room. Leonardo laid on his stomach, Mikey sat criss crossed on the arm of the couch, Donatello sat on a purple bean bag and Raphael sat in the one actual chair as they watched Jupiter Jim 34. Donatello carefully studied Leonardo's shell, the cracks... jeez they were big. He noticed as Leonardo shuffled uncomfortably, he expected this, Leo always got a bit of pain when he didn't move constantly to distract himself. He sighed softly as reached into a shoulder compartment on his battle shell, it had pills in it, Midol for April or Leo if they needed it, pain killers, melatonin gummies and anti-anxiety meds, mostly for Leo. Donatello grabbed two pain killers and handed it down to Leo, he whispered, just so Leo could hear it and not above the movie playing on the projector, "take these, I can tell you need them" he said blandly before shoving them into Leo's hand, the blue twin smiled back, "thanks, DonTron..." and shoved them in his mouth and took them dry, which creeped out Donnie but he wouldn't question it.
Elsewhere, the Hidden City.
A blue Punkupine with green eyes, freckles, peach furred arms and heart shaped chest, light blue markings on his face, red shoes with a white strap that connected to a star shaped buckle, white fingerless gloves with a comical amount of sports tape was walking with a tall Kitsune with only two tails instead of the usual six, blue eyes, soft yellow fur with a white furred fluffy stomach with, big ears that wear tipped with brown, just like around his eyes and hands, that sported gloves that only show the tips of his paws so he can touch the hologram screen on his left hand. As the Kitsune typed away, regarding of the Hidden Cities reconstruction after the Kraang attack, they weren't as bad as the above world but some buildings fell through the surface, leaving many worrisome holes.
"Tails, bro, get off the screen for a while, you're gonna go blind!" the short , blue punkupine spoke, looking up at his little brother. The kitsune, now known as Tails, rolled his eyes, "first, no I won't, second, this is important Sonic! three of us best relec shops were destroyed, now human disguises prices only rise!" Sonic shook his head at Tails, "you're just grumpy because the only mint shop was destroyed." he stated a matter-of-factly, Tails grumbled, his tails spun in annoyance for a moment and his ears shifted, "..am not.." Sonic shook his head and chuckled, "whatever you say lil' bro" he waved and rushed off in dart of lightning, going around to check for severe damage and maybe a form of entertainment.
As the blue blur ran he jumped on rumble from the destroyed buildings, he looked to the roof of the hidden city and sucked a breathe in.. Amy was not going to like this. he pressed on his communicator on his wrist and rang up Tails, "heyyyy... maybe I was being a little under dramatic.. but~ the city has a few, like BIG hole leading to City Square, got any sciencey stuff to help?" he make an awkward face, hoping for the best from his genius little brother. He heard a shout on the other end of the line, "WHAT???" Tails yelled, getting some looks from other Yokai around him. He sucked a breathe in and whispered into the communicator, "..what do you mean 'there's a bunch of holes in the roof'?' "I mean, there's a-- WOAH-" static was then heard in Tails's ears as the call ended, Tails immediately panicked and spun his fluffy tails to go find Sonic.
Sonic was now jumping from place to place as more chunks of the roof fell, collapsing so fast he could already see a giant build board and people screaming. It all felt overwhelming, people?? as in HUMANS? bad news!
