Hey it's me the thing from john carpenter's the thing
I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.
And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:
The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

queue posts about Palestine to regularly post throughout the week to keep them visible. Check tags like: #strike for gaza, #free gaza, #ceasefire now. I'm going to share posts from Bisan and other Palestinians on instagram.
don't spend money on nonessentials. if you didn't have time to prepare for the strike and still need to get groceries/medicine/etc, get it now to prepare for not spending the rest of the week! striking for even part of the week is better than not participating at all.
read bit.ly/StopGazaGenocide, this is a document put together by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR) with lots of good information and graphics and link to art you can freely use to spread awareness. There is also a link to email your representatives to urge them to stop supporting the occupation and the email is pre-generated! it took me one minute to send emails!
email your representatives that you are striking for Palestine!
keep talking about Palestine. keep reading about Palestine. keep caring about Palestine. If you make even one person pay attention, you've done good work! keep going!
Do what you can! Doing ANYTHING is better than doing nothing.
It’s @therion-greengrass if you want to look it over. Thanks again.

Urgent 😭🧊
The weather here is very cold. The weather here is terrible. We can't stand it. Our children can't take it anymore. There are children who died yesterday because of the cold. I hope you save us. Support us with the least needs. All we need is some blankets so we can warm ourselves. Look at our children. Look what's happening to the children of Gaza.
Every boom is getting worse, no work, no house, no hope. My child no longer dreams of playing. He only dreams of escaping from the destruction of war to a safe place. Your donation is the lifeline for us to leave Gaza. Please participate and donate.
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.
