In Light Of Israel's Looming Invasion On Rafah, South Africa Implored The Icj To Call For The Protection

yeah man i guess i do idk

Hind is constantly tweeting about being overwhelmed and hopeless. Bisan is sharing videos of children dying--literally someone trying to give a child chest compressions before giving up, the camera lingering on the child's limp, dead body. Today, Motaz posted video of his bombed out neighborhood--footage of a hand that does not end in an arm but ends in frayed and tattered meat. His neighborhood lost 45 people, his cousin also died.

His last tweet, 16 minutes ago, is him in the rain, the caption begs for the genocide to stop. "Please god, stop this."

Things have been dire and are getting more bleak. Using these people as inspiration porn--repeated lines of "Palestinians haven't lost hope, so we shouldn't other"--grows useless as it is clear it is very hard for them to manage hope. Hind has flat out admitted to being overwhelmed and losing feeling. The dead child, whose face was drenched in blood, cannot hope. It is not their fault, it isn't a matter of them not trying enough. It is a sign of Israel's cruelty.

How bad it is gotten--how much worse it is getting as Israel faces little resistance from the international community, as lack of food and medical care and sanitation spreads disease, how much the rain and cold sucks out the capacity to do anything other than survive and stress--means we should push harder. Fueled by righteous fury at injustice and needless suffering, not human beings turned into mascots, we must push and pull things harder until the system of suffering breaks.

I don't even know what that means. Every call to action feels so pathetically weak in the wake of all of this. But we must figure out what pushing harder means and fast.

Every day spent doing nothing or the bare minimum is more lives lost, more hope lost.

You've been isekai'd into a fictional setting. Spin this wheel to find out which one.

The ceasefire agreement was reached and joy is floating among the Palestinian people But when we go to our homes, we will not find these homes destroyed.

emotionally? the year is 1875 and i have tuberculosis

I will never forget the despicable pinkwashing, racism & islamphobia that have been used to justify Palestinian genocide & white supremacy. They'll throw you off the skyscraper in Gaza they said, you wouldn't have rights as a queer person in Palestine they said. As if Palestinians are a monolith, as if they're just incapable of being hospitable and kind- as if they cant be queer, as if they aren't humans with names, lives, dreams, hopes-

Am not Palestinian, I am Jordanian Syrian. Born, raised, lived, in SWANA, its not perfect, but it is home. MY home. My traditional food my language my family my community. The land that shaped me and many others like me that we swore to fight for. Palestinians aren't any different, they will never stop fighting for their home.

No queer liberation without Palestinian liberation. We aren't free until ALL of us are free.

I hope they get to watch the beautiful sunset above the sea. I hope he gets to kiss Younus, after he lives a long, long life.

No matter what happens I will unapologetically continue to ship Freemance. In fact, if things go really south with the discourse again I’ll just write even more content for it. Same with Barney x Lauren.

I’m ready. ❤️
