i'm so fucking tired man. i don't normally post on tumblr beyond reblogging and making art occasionally but i cannot think of anywhere else to put these thoughts so whatever

i'm not entirely sure if anyone will read this post and that's okay, i don't have many followers and there are better posts to follow when it comes to supporting palestine and her people. don't give up hope, keep reblogging, keep talking about palestine okay. even if you think it doesn't matter it does. talking about what's happening beats back every bit of propaganda that gets spread about palestine. every bit counts

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA PALESTINE WILL BE FREE

here is a list of resources that you can donate to if you can. and if you can't, please reblog anyways. boost them.

i'm sick and tired of the constant news from palestine. not because i want to remain blissfully ignorant about what's happening there but because with each passing hour i get more and more angry and discouraged regarding what's happening there. i cannot in my mind truly comprehend the level of inhumanity that is required to forcefully remove people from their homes, to deprive them of basic necessities like water, food, and medical care, and then carpet bomb the land that so many families have lived on for literal decades. it's horrific and a disgusting level of evil.

beyond that i have to live with the knowledge that my government is actively funding these atrocities. i don't even want to call it my government because there is no way in my mind that any human could possibly see the deaths caused by israel and want to help them continue in their path of genocide.

these past few months have solidly confirmed in my mind that capitalism is single-handedly one of the worst things to have ever happened to our society because capitalism the thing that's behind my government supporting these atrocities. plain and simple it makes companies more money to help kill literal children who have done nothing wrong than to send aid to those children and to call for a ceasefire. it's sickening that my government is choosing to support this senseless violence simply because it means they can sell more guns and bombs and tanks.

i think about how the world will speak on these events in 20, 30, 50 years from now. i wonder how the history books will recount the brave gazans who survived what happened. i wonder if my country will continue to pump out propaganda regarding their involvement in this disaster. i wonder if the textbooks and worksheets students will read and write on will echo the way that my textbooks talked about native americans or african slaves. i wonder how many lives will get reduced to a statistic on a page.

and it makes me sad. so depressingly sad that so many people will get swept under the rug. that every lost life will never be mourned in the way every human deserves to.

i get conflicted over whether or not i have any right to speak on these events. i live a very privileged life. i never have to worry about when my next meal is coming, i have access to clean and safe drinking water at all hours of the day, i have a roof over my head and 24 hour access to the internet. why should i, someone who has all this, speak about events that are happening across the world. why should i have the right to mourn and speak about people who are now gone when those who are still alive are living in some of the worst conditions known to humankind.

and i realise that that's what the israeli government wants. they want me to stop thinking about gaza and palestine as a whole. they want the world to turn their backs and ignore the atrocities they are committing.

and i don't want that to happen. i'll continue clicking daily for palestine. i'll continue to reblog posts about gaza. i will keep that shred of hope that one day i will wake up and my tumblr dashboard will be filled with posts celebrating a ceasefire, that one day palestine will be free from the occupation of a tyrannical state.

but even knowing that doesn't take away from the guilt that i feel when i see gofundme's and links to aid relief programs. i've donated an esim to gaza and i really do hope that it helps someone but i'm not in a position to do anything more than reblog posts and do my daily clicks.

Free Palestine

At the very least I should feel their pain.

That's what I thought, daily, ever since 7th of October. I would never truly understand how it feel to live under occupation of the world's most cruel country that has no integrity, that constantly lies, and thinks that everyone is a lowly being not worthy of life. I do not understand the extent of the hate... nor how they could possibly justify the atrocities they committed behind the stupid claim of "self-defense".

I just want to punch Piers Morgan in the face whenever he interrupts whoever pro-Palestinian speaker he invited that day. I am sick and tired of hearing the same talking points being used over and over and over again by Western media.

I just want to hug my sisters and their babies... I want to invite them over to live at my place and not constantly be afraid and terrorized. I want them to live a normal life. A mundane life filled with routine and small celebrations: a child's birth, their birthdays, their first day of school, graduation, meeting the love of their lives, marriage, getting a good job, building their first homes, building their family... Small fights with strangers over the internet, shopping for clothes, talking about the opposite sex, arguing over which movies to watch at the cinema.

So many innocent civilians have died and it hurts me the same, if not worse, every time. I have been constantly praying for these evil demons to die asap, so that they won't get to kill more children and babies and women and fathers and grandmothers. I have been praying that those who have martyred will finally start the lives that they deserve - from the very beginning. I hope in the afterlife, they got to relive their lives with the people that they love, in a complete family living in a beautiful house filled with delicious food and warmth, achieving everything they dreamed of, not a single drop of fear in their hearts. I hope they get to live all the lives they could not live in this cruel world.

When I watched interviews of the children about what they dreams are - either the simplicity or the impossibility of their dreams break me. One boy wanted to eat sugar. The other one wanted their dead brother to come back to life.

My heart hurts when I watch an interview of a Hamas' fighter that was once a gym trainer. He said that after the war he wanted to go to the beach. I thought, who in their right minds, in a politically and militarily safe country, would choose to join an underground army and risk their lives every day? If he could, I bet he would rather spend his days going to university, laugh with his friends while eating good food, go to the gym, find an amazing job, and marry the love of his life.

My tears fell down watching an interview of Palestinians being asked what they will do after the war. Most of them just want to sleep. They are tired.

This is such a crazy time to live in.

I pray that Palestine will be free very soon.
