people have been calling this portrait very befitting considering the amount of blood on the british empire's hands, and i absolutely agree (i also don't want to know how much this was commissioned for because i think of how many British people are struggling with food and fuel poverty):
[photo: @/WorldTimesWT with caption "Britain's King Charles unveiled the first official portrait of himself since his coronation last May." May 14, 2024.]
in one direct action response to the portrait's reveal, Palestine Action activists did this:
never forget the British royals' support for a terrorist state -Israel, and never forget that king colonizer has personally voiced support for the bombing and genociding of Palestinian people.
The International Court of Justice told Israel to immediately halt its attack on Rafah. So Israel decided to bomb a UN tent camp.
We are witnessing beheaded children being pulled out of a a sea of burning tents. We are witnessing the bombing of displaced people in a humanitarian area.
I didn’t think we could see anything more brutal than the things we’ve seen in the last eight months. But tonight’s massacre in Rafah is unspeakable. There are truly no words left.
If you cannot stop the injustice, please, at least speak up about it.
thankfully we have raised just enough to cover the evacuation fees of shaima and muhammad's entire family of 15 people (including 10 children)!
now we begin the journey to raise funds for their survival.
as mentioned in the linked post, the genocidal hala travel agency will only allow the family to evacuate if they present the entire sum on august 18th, less than 6 days away!
because the family is currently without a tent, baby formula, and struggling to survive constant bombing in khan yunis, they have to dip into their evacuation fund to survive. despite crossing that threshold, their survival is not guaranteed.
their newborn baby salem has anemia, is immunocompromised, and is severely malnourished because his mother manal is so starved she no longer produces breastmilk. his 5 year old sister salma has a fever, skin rashes, and intestinal problems from drinking unclean water. staying alive during all this costs money.
they even have to pay rent for the dirt their tent sits upon.
@ AMERICANS, EUROPEANS, AND BRITS: YOUR CURRENCY ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE A BIGGER IMPACT HERE!!
LET'S KEEP THIS FAMILY ALIVE!

On the seventh of October I am teacher Mahmoud Atta. I work as a teacher teaching secondary school students.
On October 7th, I was getting ready to go to school. On October 7th, while I was getting ready to go to school, my life was completely turned upside down. Israel declared war on Gaza. After that, they announced their entry into the roads and cities and forced us to leave the city from Khan Yunis to Rafah
.
We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. We passed through a road called the Road of Death. Tanks were everywhere. Bullets were raining down. If you survived, your brother would not.
We've all seen the end of the world movies on the big screen. We have all seen end of the world movies on cinema screens, but what we saw was real and not imaginary. I wish it was imaginary.
We finally arrived in Rafah Finally we arrived in Rafah, the safe city as it is called, but where to go? The sea is behind us, the weather is freezing, and the borders are closed with Egypt on the other side and Israel on the third and fourth sides. I found myself making a tent out of nylon for myself and my family.
No water, no electricity, no food, no place to go to the bathroom, no life. I wish I had died sooner.
We returned after a long time to our city.After a long time, we returned to our city. The first sight was that a giant monster had entered the city and left it in ruins, so much so that I did not recognize my house or my neighborhood. Oh my God, is this Khan Yunis?
fI searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed. I searched to find my home, to find my apartment, which contained my memories and my most beautiful days, destroyed.
Today I stand before you to search for Today I stand in your hands to search for any help to restore myself again thanks to you.. I am waiting for your help
Imagine living for months on the same meal، no variety, no choice, just survival.
We are growing up with the taste of hunger. This isn’t a scene from a movie, this is our reality in Gaza.
We are enduring the most brutal, relentless, and longest siege humanity has witnessed. We are dying slowly, every single day.
My family and I are in urgent need of your help.If you can donate, please do. And if you can’t, please share it might reach someone who can.
Your share can save a life.
Your silence won’t.
This is not just a post. This is a cry for help From Gaza, with pain. 💔🇵🇸

please keep talking about rafah. we're on the precipice of one of the darkest unfoldings in human history. please pray for rafah.
let us take a moment and grieve for all the lives lost. so many thousand people have been murdered by the zionist entity in the last fifteen months. palestinians in gaza have lost too much, from friends and family to their homes and livelihood.
this ceasefire is not an end to our solidarity with gaza. we will all be here waiting and praying for palestine to be wholly liberated from the occupation and watch her people be happy and free.
in the meantime, please keep donating to palestinian fundraisers. it is essential to support families planning on rebuilding.
