Anyone who reblogs this post will have their user written on a poster saying "We Stand With Palestine" that I hope to put up somewhere in the village I live in, or the town that the village is next to.

I am not Palestinian, I am Indigenous American.
One hundred and forty six years ago my people were forced to move to Oklahoma, this event was known as the Ponca Trail of Tears. The land my people were forcibly moved to didn't have any proper shelter or food, so my people both froze and starved to the point we are a fraction of what we once were.
The government and schools don't talk about what America has done to my people, I only know because of my great-grandfather and his sister.
The American Government tried to take our identity away, our language is dying out. All because my people weren't living the same lifestyle the land stealers were living.
I stand with Palestine because I see Israel doing what America did to my people and the many Indigenous tribes. I know what it is like to have your identity and culture oppressed and to be dehumanized, and I refuse to let history repeat itself. I will continue to stand with Palestine even when I no longer walk the Earth.

it actually makes me sick to see the NFL, 49ers, and chiefs all make statements supporting Israel and calling palestinians terrorists. YOU'RE SUPPORTING THE TERRORISTS! what israel is doing is GENOCIDE. you're supporting GENOCIDE. who started the war? ISRAEL. who has a huge army? ISRAEL. who has continuously broken ceasefire? ISREAL. who is killing thousands of innocent people a day? ISRAEL. guess who doesn't have an official army and is basically defenseless? PALESTINE.
i wanted to say this again in light of recent events: i highly highly highly encourage anyone who sees this to read Edward W. Said's book After the Last Sky: Palestinian Lives (available on internet archive for free, but i recommend buying it). Said is palestinian, and in the book he talks about his childhood in palestine and the effects of being exiled from his homeland. the book is a true eye opener, and everything that Said says is still relevant today. it also includes photos, which truly emphasize the trauma and horrors the palestinian people have faced.

they were kids. real kids. kids with lives and dreams and hopes. they had favorite colors and foods and things to do and places to be. some were too young to have any of those things actually. some were infants and toddlers who didn't get the chance to grow and live and become their own people. they smiled and laughed. don't forget that. please don't forget that. don't let the gore and violence desensitize you. don't let these children become just bags of unrecognizable pieces of bone and tissue. don't let them become just masses covered in white clothe. don't let them become corpses in a mass grave. don't let them become numbers. don't forget who they were.

how can you look at those innocent faces, look at that father holding his children in plastic bags, and say that they deserved this?

how can you look at any of these children and say they deserved it?

I would like to add one more image to this.

This booklet, shared by Bisan, contains a lot of incredibly useful information. Admittedly, it's not all perfect, but it does provide a useful starting point for your own research. As always when you're absorbing information, don't rely on just one source. Check for biases. Please, please read it and share. Ceasefire now. Likes do nothing to spread this. Please reblog.

via Palestinian photographer (belalkh) on Instagram “The child's mother: Azhar Saleh touches her baby daughter for the first time since she was born more than 2 month and 10 days ago. The mother gave her one last kiss before leaving Gaza, she "Forcibly" couldn't be with her baby, who travelled to Egypt yesterday for treatment without any accompaniment. Azhar survived the Israeli occupation's storming of Al-Shifa Hospital when they stormed the nurseries and cut off electricity to the hospital. Azhar, is not the only one who was separated from her family by the occupation. There are dozens of children left without a mother or father. And the stories are not over.” Images: Belal Khaled

Just kinda want to rant
I cannot stand what Israel is doing in the slightest. It's nothing short of a genocide. But on a more personal note, they're ruining the childhood of one of my closest childhood friends.
She would travel to Palestine every summer to visit family, I was never entirely sure of the exact place, but I definitely remember checking her location from time to time while looking over the Snapchat map to check my cousin's backpacking trip through Europe over that same summer, and I had definitely seen her within the Gaza strip many times
She has so many family members in Gaza, a handful had been caught in the US, lucky enough to evade the genocide, but not all of them. It's disheartening to see her childhood ripped apart by an overzealous army who have no idea who she is
Who any of the people in the Gaza Strip are
or those on the West Bank
When I repost the hundredth TikTok of the day about the genocide in Palestine, I mean it. I mean look at all of these people having their lives ripped away from them. I mean look at the lives of all of these children who will never get to experience the beauty of Palestine in the way my friend has. I mean look to all the people who have passed and those who continue to pass. Those committing suicide because their outlook for the future is dim. I mean look to those who could never begin to escape, killed by disease, illness, and the destruction of Gaza. I mean watch for the journalists who are being slaughtered in constant bombings and targeted sniper attacks for speaking out against Israel. I mean the family of both my childhood best friend and all of those whose lives, and land, are currently threatened by this genocide.
No one should have to be a martyr, not because of the cruelty of Israel, famine, disease, and most certainly not of greed. No parent should have to witness the death of their child, nor child witness the death of their parent. No partners, siblings, pets, or families should be torn apart because of greed.
I am outraged over this, but I feel so small because I don't have any way to help people escape Gaza. All I can do now is use my voice, and though I no longer subscribe to any religion, I pray for the freedom of those in Gaza, and for those in Palestine, that they'll be able to survive and live freely as they are meant to.

Hi everyone, I wanted to boost these two GoFundMes from people looking to evacuate Gaza. Please help them in whatever way you can, donate what you can, because this is a matter of life and death. Reblog and please spread the word, please help them get their families to safety.
Each of them has only reached about $1000 of their goal, far from the $45,000 needed by Khaled and the $20,000 needed by Shareef.
Khaled's fundraiser:

Shareef's fundraiser:

(Please note: I am not Palestinian, both of these people reached out to me on Instagram to share or donate to their fundraisers. If any bloggers esp. Palestinian bloggers have verified these fundraisers or have an existing post to reblog for them, please let me know!)

do not forget or refuse to include palestinian men. despite the genocide, they are kind. they are gentle. they are innocent lives who continue to give tender care even in the face of death.
palestinian men, women and children are facing genocide.

These are some of the faces of the survivors of Al-Nakba or ‘The Catastrophe’, when 750,000 Palestinians were forced to leave their homes in the 1948 colonisation of Palestine. Many of the Nakba survivors still have the keys to their homes.
Free Palestine and may they return to what’s rightfully theirs. 🙏🇵🇸
