@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”
the US dropped more than 7.5 million tons of bombs on vietnam, laos and cambodia from 1965-75. they destroyed our land, used agent orange, slaughtered villages, separated families, the list goes on.
but we're. still. here.
indigenous people are still here. black people are still here. colonized people are resilient. even if you kill our people, ban our languages, destroy our homes, heritage sites and artifacts, we will always find a way to keep our cultures alive and that has always been true
so much of the west and isntreal's tactics and actions are hauntingly familiar to me as a viet person. its a colonizer's rinse and repeat. and so that's how i know palestine will be free. we've seen this film before]
Israel today murdered the wife and two children of Al Jazeera's Gaza Bureau Chief, Wael Al-Dahdouh. This comes after the US Secretary of State demanded that Al Jazeera 'tone down' its coverage of Israel's mass slaughter of Palestinians. The killings echo the US's missile strike on Al Jazeera's Baghdad office during the 2003 invasion, which was a deliberate targeting that resulted in the death of journalist Tareq Ayyoub. Any journalists heroic enough to depict the horrors of American and Israeli imperialism are considered fair game.
This news surfaced yesterday and I just want to say this isn't new. This happened and has been reported more than once. There are also the Yemeni Jewish children who were kidnapped from their mothers by Ashkenazi "nurses", who claimed that the baby is dead, and diagnose the mother with hysteria/mental disorder after.
The lack of regard for people of color in Israel shouldn't come as a surprise at all. How many poc do you see in the government/ knesst despite the number of Ethiopian and Yemeni jews?
They're creating an all white country, this is colonizer behavior 101, the world just turned a blind eye.
