What Is That Thing

Bisan is calling for another global strike!

I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.

What a global strike would look like is:

calling in sick to work

purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can

putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!

For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

♢♢♢

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.

Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!

Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.

You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.

They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.

Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

from the river to the sea 🇵🇸

if you buy an e-sim or donate to the palestine children's relief fund or unrwa, dm me with proof and i will draw you a food commission 🍉🇵🇸 🫒

My mom: i miss having a dog in the house :(

My overly friendly buff orpington: say less

When a Jewish Rabbi is saying that israelis stole the religion to use it as a shield against critisism, then maybe its time to forget the religions and focus on the fact that it was never about the religion and always about colonizing Palestine..

So once again, you are not antisemite if you are against israel. We need to call out their bullshit. Keep fighting.

If you wanna see the whole video you can find it on IG desiismybae (where I found this)

yemen is the poorest nation in the arab world. but in two weeks time, it did what no oil or gas- rich arab nation could do. by seizing three ships and costing i****l more than 2 billion by forcing its ships to go around africa, yemen showed up.

had a dream i found a tape labelled “sex tape” and when i played it in a vcr it was just two fully clothed guys beating the shit out of each other with metal bats

Wet'suwet'en Yintah Defence Legal Funds

Wet’suwet’en land defenders are heading to the colonial courts for multiple trials starting this summer for civil and criminal cases — both

[Wet’suwet’en land defenders are heading to the colonial courts for multiple trials starting this summer for civil and criminal cases — both in defence of our right to protect our territory from the unlawful trespass and property damage caused by TC Energy’s project Coastal GasLink, and to pursue a civil suit against the RCMP, Coastal GasLink, and Forsythe Security for waging a daily campaign of intimidation and harassment against Wet’suwet’en people and supporters.

The same colonial judiciary that recognized Wet’suwet’en sovereignty in 1997 is now attempting to criminalise land defenders rightfully protecting our sovereign land and water from an illegal fracked gas pipeline. Help support Gidimt’en Checkpoint land defenders in the colonial court of so-called British Columbia — chip in to the legal fund now to help Wet’suwet’en people continue to stand up for our rights and authority over our own territory and keep us out of jail!

Criminal Proceedings:

Alleged criminal contempt charges (breach of the injunction) - 8 people facing these charges, each will have to go to trial

Abuse of process trial, will commence with criminal trials

Upcoming court for arrests (alleged obstruction) in August 2022 and March 2023

Civil Proceedings:

Harassment, intimidation and collusion against the RCMP/Department of Justice, CGL and Forsythe Security

In 2020, and 2021 people across the Turtle Island blocked railways and shut down Canada in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people resisting the construction of the Coastal GasLink fracked gas pipeline that never received Free, Prior and Informed Consent of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs.

The global media attention and outrage that followed galvanized widespread support for the Wet’suwet’en, from the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination to celebrities in Los Angeles issuing statements in solidarity.

The backlash forced the governments of BC and Canada to sign what was hailed as a “landmark” agreement to formally recognize the rights and title of Wet’suwet’en people. They set a timeline of 12 months to complete this work. But the governments of so-called British Columbia and Canada have not followed through on their commitments with Wet’suwet’en leaders to this date, more than three years later.

The UN has issued two additional rebukes to these colonial governments, not only for their failure to consult, but for the use of force and violence on Wet’suwet’en peoples by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the special “Community-Industry Response Group” (now rebranded to the Community Response Unit after intense backlash).

Now, Wet’suwet’en land defenders are being charged as criminals for defending our land and water within their rights as a sovereign nation, as recognized by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007. On top of this, Wet’suwet’en people continue to suffer police intimidation, harassment, and surveillance. Despite the civil suit against the RCMP, CRU (previously CIRG) and security company Forsythe for colluding to harass Wet’suwet’en people and supporters, police are still using intimidation tactics including nonstop surveillance of camp, going to Sleydo’’s house and peering in the windows, pulling vehicles over and disrupting daily activities like collecting drinking water and firewood.

"The fact that Canada has a special task force — C-IRG — to assure industry free access to our lands and to criminalize us for exercising our rights to our thousands of year old governance system indicates to the world that Canada and B.C. maintain an abusive relationship toward Indigenous people," said Sleydo' (Molly Wickham), spokesperson for Gidim'ten Checkpoint of the Wet'suwet'en.

“The Wet’suwet’en people, under the governance of their Hereditary Chiefs, are standing in the way of the largest fracking project in Canadian history. Our medicines, our berries, our food, the animals, our water, our culture, our homes are all here since time immemorial. We will never abandon our children to live in a world with no clean water. We uphold our ancestral responsibilities. There will be no pipelines on Wet'suwet'en territory.”

Stand in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en people as we head to the colonial courts starting this summer to assert our sovereign right to protect our lands under the governance of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs, and to hold the colonial state-sanctioned police accountable for tactics of intimidation and harassment.
