Karim, 7 years old, from the Gaza Strip, like many children, writes his name on his hand so that he can be recognised if he was bombed by the Israeli occupation.
Karim cried when he remembered his sister in Gaza city. He is now displaced with his family in Rafah.
Since we are boycotting certain fast food chains like McDonald’s, KFC and also certain soft drinks here is my alternative:
Go to small businesses. That’s it. Go to your local fish and chip shop, pizza shop, Chinese place, whatever just get take out from your local small restaurant, it’s not that hard. Is it going to be more pricey? Yea but is it better quality. Most of the time yes.
I personally just go to my local fish and chip shop, a small chips there which is massive is $5 AUD and around the same price in other local shops. The burgers are more expensive but they aren’t a chain restaurant and at these the one I go to has incredible burgers. The only thing with fish and chip shops is don’t buy flake or if your in Australia don’t just ask for fish since here just asking for fish and not specifying is generally just flake which is shark.
Also, one of my local pizza shops, a million times better than domino’s. 10/10 highly recommend getting take out from your local shops, it will take some trial and error also in my experience with fish and chip shops they do have bad days so you will need to give them a-few goes but shopping small is not only supporting your local community, giving you better food but you’re also not supporting a large corporation that is supporting genocide.
Now with soft drinks/soda/whatever you call them, I don’t really have much of alternative apart from just getting no name brand but as much as I love pepsi we don’t need it, boycot pepsi and stop buying it, same with coke, Fanta, sprite and all that
According to The Independent Palestinian Commission for Human Rights regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip:
⭕️ The number of Palestinians abducted by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza has reached approximately 2000.
⭕️ The international community has failed to enforce the law regarding the violations committed by the Israeli occupation forces.
⭕️ The international community is urged to take steps to investigate mass graves unfolding in Gaza.
⭕️ There are children who have died due to malnutrition and a shortage of medication.
If people who survived or are children of survivors the fucking holocaust are saying “hey what’s going on is a genocide” maybe just maybe it’s a fucking genocide
It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.
So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.
Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.
Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors.
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.
This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.
The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon
I have friends at Indiana University and they've been saying there are snipers on IU Bloomington campus. And theres a bunch of cops everywhere. This is wild.
