sometimes i feel like i’m working so so hard for someone else’s sake. i feel like all this effort i put in isn’t to better myself, but to ensure someone else doesn’t pick out all my weaknesses. it’s hard to try and get better when there’s always a threat of someone peering over your shoulder or suddenly appearing and listing everything you could/should be doing and making you feel guilty about what others are doing and what you’re not doing. i call it fear-working. trying to be the best you can be so that you’re not gonna be chastised for your mistakes.
The consistent dehumanization language used in describing Palestinians in western media is unfathomable. The consistent denial of seeing our children as children. For everybody seeing this, don't fall into this, seek out the truth and educate yourself because that's the best and only way we can help people in Palestine. We have to amplify their voices.
America has now bombed and conducted illegal wars in:
- Iraq
- Syria
- Libya
- Somalia
- Pakistan
- Afghanistan
- Palestine
- Yemen
But Muslims are the terrorists?

Hello everyone,
I am Ruba from Gaza. I am reaching out to you today with a heavy heart, seeking your help for me and my family in facing the difficult circumstances we are currently experiencing.
Since the beginning of the war on October 7th, my family has been continuously displaced, searching for shelter wherever we can find it. Now we are living in a tent that lacks the most basic necessities of life, and we are suffering from malnutrition as our bodies have become weak and our weights have dropped due to the lack of adequate food.
My greatest fear is the thought of losing my family due to the tragic events happening in Gaza. My sole aim is to ensure their safety and get us out of Gaza amid this genocide. My elderly father's health is critical due to the severe shortage of medicines and medical supplies in Gaza, and he is in desperate need of medical care that is currently unavailable.

An Egyptian vendor in Upper Egypt throws his produce onto aid trucks upon learning that they are headed to Gaza.
Despite the traitorous coordination and normalization efforts of the Arab regimes, the people remain dedicated to Palestine.

it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.
take a second to take it in..
and we didn't get a cease fire.
"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.
An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!
"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!
The world continues to look on
