So I noticed that Columbia university is trending and I know there has been pro Palestinian protest there. I get that the protesters care about the Palestinian people and don't want innocent civilian to die. I don't want innocent civilians to die either but I don't think camping out on college campuses and shouting thing like "we are Hamas" and "Death to Israel/Death to America" will help the Palestinians. I think that if these people truly want to help the Palestinian people they will call for the release of the roughly 100 hostages Hamas has been holding since October 7th as well as organize a fundraiser in coordination with charities like the red cross and salvation army in order to make sure that food,water, blanket and clothing makes its way directly to the palestinian people as well as work with the IDF, Egypt and other neighboring countries like Lebanon and Qatar to make sure we get as many Palestinians in order to make sure that we get as many civilians out of harms way as possible before the IDF does a strike against Hamas.
"Construction of Rafah port begins: US troops have commenced the construction of the infamous Rafah port, possibly in anticipation of Israeli military actions and the forced evacuation of Palestinians from the area." from Mint Press, 26/Apr/2024:
is terrorism about resisting oppression? is terrorism about demanding your birthright to live safely and peacefully in your homeland? is terrorism about hating the killers of your family, your friends and your people?
accusations of terrorism are often weaponized against those fighting for liberation and sovereignty and dignity. the french settlers called the algerians terrorists. the indian government calls the kashmiris terrorists. the pakistani army calls pashtun activists terrorists. the turkish government calls the kurds terrorists. apartheid south africa called nelson mandela a terrorist. americans called the vietcong and the black panthers terrorists. the israelis call the palestinians terrorists. all oppressive regimes are connected. all oppressed people are connected. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
something that really fucking breaks my heart is how young so many of the journalists giving us on-the-ground coverage from gaza are. motaz is what, 24/25? bisan is 26 at most? they're my age. i cannot fathom the enormity of the trauma and grief that they are carrying while also going to such extreme lengths to ensure that israel does not erase this genocide from our collective memory. they are so terrified of being forgotten. inshallah they will live, we will never forget them.
The fact that israel revels in the destruction of a hospital and gleefully attacks civilian centers while Iran responds to an attack on it by striking military targets, yet the former is called "restrained" and "democratically humanistic" while the latter is villified as "aggressive" and "dangerous" should tell you everything you need to know about both western liberal democratic imperialism and western media's class nature.
middleeasteye "Jamila al-Hissi, a Palestinian woman who managed to leave Shifa hospital in Gaza told Al Jazeera Arabic that women at the hospital have been subjected to rape, torture, and execution by Israeli forces."
But they're the victims? They're the ones we should sympathize with?
I can not wrap my head around this it's so insane to me how people still sympathize with these things. Fuck Israel.
I just want everyone to show this to zionists when they screeche for proof of something. Like just go on your dear israeli diaper forces tiktok and check what they are posting. Like israelis themselves give all the proof we need.
Palestinians deserve peace, happiness, comfort, and everything else that Israel has stripped away from them. There is no justification. This is genocide. The people of Palestine need our help.
This is where the load buzzing in the background of Bisan and MoTaz's videos come from. This is psychological torture and this has been going on for years before Oct 7
