Not To Be Dramatic But This Is A Massive Fucking Deal And I Legitimately Hope Every Single Politician

Israeli police raid Jerusalem bookshops and arrest Palestinian owners

Raid on Educational Bookshop branches described by rights groups as attempt to create ‘culture of fear’ among Palestinian intellectuals

One of the hallmarks of colonial and apartheid regimes is their need to crush any and all forms of independent life among the cultures they oppress. Even booksellers are not safe from a racist state apparatus that is slowly being consumed by its own desperation and paranoia.

Now is the time to be learning history, not just for other countries but for your own as well.

🚨🚨Help us survive the starvation in Gaza 🚨🚨 I know you’ve seen countless campaigns and may feel overwhelmed or even fed up with sharing them, and I understand that I’m launching this campaign late. But despite everything, I still hold onto the hope that you might be able to support my family 😥🙏My name is Tamer Foad, and I’m a father of three little ones, struggling to survive in the aftermath of the devastating war in Gaza. My family and I have lost everything, and we’re now fighting against starvation. I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to ask for help like this, but I have no other choice—my children’s lives are at stake.I’ve written a detailed account of our situation in a GoFundMe campaign, where I’m pleading for support to provide food, water, and basic necessities for my family. I’m humbly asking you to take a moment to read our story and, if you can, to share it with others. Your voice can help amplify our cry for help and potentially save my children’s lives.Every share, every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Please, help us survive these dark days.Thank you for your compassion and kindness.
