Voices From Beneath The Rubble: A Life Suspended In Gaza

we need to start romanticizing doing household chores in tank tops and sweatpants in the same way that we romanticize knighthood and i am not fucking kidding

Can you guys just be normal and promote fundraisers in a normal way and not use it to get off on your savior complex fantasies it’s genuinely so uncomfortable to see especially as Arab girl who understands how proud Arab people are

So I just got this in my inbox

It seemed odd that this was sent to my inbox rather than someone sharing it with me through messages, I would understand if I had a post that had a lot of notes but as someone who mainly reblogs stuff this was weird. Another thing was the “gofundme” link just his paypal

I ended up reverse image searching the photos from the accounts same pinned post and saw this (unfortunately I couldn’t find matches for any of the other photos)

It seems like people are trying to scam others under the guise of donations. It’s hard to say “be cautious with where you donate” in a time like this but this is genuinely so disgusting I needed to share it. (also on twitter I confirmed that yes this is a fake account using their photos)

hope girls grow up knowing that there are infinite ways of being a woman. hope girls grow up loving themselves for who they are.

Palestinians are not "animals."

They are not "children of darkness."

Little kids are rescuing cats and trying to comfort them when they themselves are terrified.

A doctor broke down when his father and brother came into the trauma unit.

And several of his colleagues hugged and gathered to comfort him.

Journalists are playing with babies.

Doctors are refusing to evacuate hospitals because their patients can't and refuse to leave them.

There's a little boy who gives tea to the journalists and thanks them for spreading their stories.

He's displaced at the hospital, his home is gone.

A kid was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he said kids in Gaza don't grow up.

Kids are writing their names on their arms so they can be identified.

Momin Kireka is a Palestinian journalist who was disabled by an Israeli attack in 2008.

And despite the difficulty in moving around, he vows to continue to show the world the truth.

Awni, a young Palestinian boy has a gaming YouTube channel he loved so much.

He was killed in the bombing.

Mohammed Sami was an artist who's dream was to open an art gallery.

He was playing with the kids to raise their spirits. And the next day he was killed.

They are victims.

They are going through unimaginable horrors and still find it in their hearts to be kind.

They have hopes and dreams just like you and I.

They are people.

And they deserve to be recognised and known as such.

BDS has called for an official boycott of Eurovision2024

Everyone...you know what to do

[ID 1: text on a black background reading: "Boycott Eurovision: Artwashing Israel's #GazaGenocide". The Eurovision logo is edited such that red barbed wire appears over the heart in the center.

ID 2: a tweet from "PACBI - BDS movement" @/PACBI reading:

We call for the boycott of #Eurovision2024". We urge all participating broadcasters, national competitors, finalists, production crews, and viewers to boycott the contest following the refusal of the organizers @/EBU_HQ to ban genocidal Israel. #BoycottEurovision2024
