What really gets me about the sentiment "Don't look away" is that its always used in the wrong context. People may be well meaning, but what they end up doing is flooding the conversation with zionist carnage in a manner not unlike the way zionists *want* their atrocities to be seen.
Rather than thinking, "I must traumatize myself with this image for Palestine," try, "I will not turn my back on the people of Palestine." Watching them die is not enough. Speaking only of their suffering is not enough.
Don't look away when Palestinians resist. Don't condemn them when they fight for their lives and land. Speak for their rights to live and move freely in their own homeland. Do not look away from their life. Palestinians are here, they remain, and they will remain, and they are in the future, and they will live free and happy lives just as anyone else should be able to.
"Don't look away" should not be a call to engage in real life atrocities like its a horror movie. "Don't look away" should be a call to make Palestine the focus of everything. Don't let people FORGET or IGNORE what is happening. You can talk about what is happening without sharing the same ghoulish photos that zionists love.

Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩 | Sudan 🇸🇩
Tumblr media
Links to help and learn more about what’s happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Also do NOT say free Congo 🇨🇬 when referring to the issues happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo 🇨🇩. They are two different places with different flags. Instead say free DRC.
Focuscongo.com • Friendsofthecongo.org
Don’t replace your electronic devices for newer versions and if you need to, you can buy a refurbished one. As someone who’s had the same refurbished phone for seven years, I promise you it isn’t bad. It works the same. Here’s a list of books you can read to learn more, recommended by Friends of the Congo.
Tumblr media
Here’s links so you learn more about what’s happening in Sudan 🇸🇩 Talk about Sudan.
Here’s people and organizations you can donate to:
Help Sudan Tarada Initiative • Help A Family of 11 Leave
Eyes on Sudan • Zubeyda Adam and Family
Tumblr media
The image says:
13,000+ people have been killed. 26,000+ people injured. 10M+ displaced, making Sudan the largest displacement crisis globally. 25M+ need humanitarian assistance and support, 14 million are children. 4M women & girls at risk of sexual violence. 1OK+ cholera cases with 275 associated deaths. 3.5M+ children suffer from acute malnutrition.
Tumblr media
As someone on twitter called out, since it applies here too. Do not say, free Palestine and then slap on free drc, free Ukraine, free list of other places… if you’re not adding ways to help, or providing information on their situation. It doesn’t help the other places because their tags just get filled with information on the genocide of Palestinians, when it should be sharing all of their problems. Don’t use their tag without talking about their situation as well.
Tumblr media
Last thing. Don't let the aesthetic of your blog be the reason you don't speak up about what's happening. You can make a post filled with links and add you’re little banners and whatnot while helping others. And don’t worry about your following count, if they leave then they aren’t worth having around. Also post ways you can help and don’t worry about what you aren’t able to do, negativity does nothing to help. Don’t tell everyone you’re not able to donate, just spread awareness so those who are able can provide.

hey guys. I don't normally reblog info on this blog but I do want to remind everybody reading to learn about palestine, sudan and drc, as well as many other peoples currently under genocide.
here are four mastelists with information, sources and donation links and please save them and use them. use the hashtags and read some more. don't buy tech unless necessary and participate in the boycott initiated by the BDS
here's a more recent donation links post
and a post with recommendations for what you can do if you aren't able to donate
tens of millions of people are under genocide and ethnic cleansing. the absolute least we can do is learn and talk about it. if you can, do more than that.

“companies that ‘support’ israel” …no idea what they meant by the use of quotations here but…
Yes, boycotting is a legitimate form of protest, for reasons both ethical and tactical.
No, boycotting colonizers who are committing genocide in the name of the Jewish people is most certainly not antisemitism, in fact it falls in line pretty well with Jewish values.
Ffs. Why do I even google things anymore.

WW3 will be white supremacists vs everyone else.
Not a singular Western country in support of Israel is innocent of colonization, war crimes, treaty violations, or having white supremacists in politics.
Each one of them has been ignoring protests and strikes in their own countries for human rights and protections. Human rights and protections that have thus far been denied btw. Meanwhile they give themselves raises and protections against protesters and so called "terrorists." They inflate military budgets while their people grow more agitated and they don't care.
Not a single one of them have a thriving, happy people.
Historically they've been awful for Black, indigenous, and immigrant populations despite many of their countries being founded on immigration. And even in modern times all of them currently have trials going on to combat state violence such as genocide, rights violations, or police brutality.
None of them have ever been paragons of human rights. None of them represent the world's moral compass least of all Germany.
So why and how is it that you can look at the USA and German support of Israel and your thought is "finally!" instead of seeing a red flag.
White supremacists are teaming up in a Big way.
And this time they're letting white Jewish people count as white which seems to have short-circuited ur brains so let me remind y'all that Nazis hate Jewish people but not every white suprmacist is a Nazi. And white supremacists have a long history of providing white Jewish people with conditional white privileges
For example here in the USA while white men who owned some land could vote, the same could not be said of white Jewish people who were barred from it in some colonies by language that stated you needed to accept Jesus as your savior. But white Jewish ppl could vote & could own land elsewhere when Black and native communities couldn't do that anywhere at all.
White supremacists exploiting white Jewish people for their vote or political support is nothing new and continues to be no surprise.
We can look at Trump's attempt to do exactly that as recently as 2019. We know he isn't an ally of any Jewish person anywhere and yet here he is trying to get right-wingers hyped up with virtue signaling.
The same article addressed how this right wing rhetoric and trying to incite it among Republicans is itself antisemitic and careless.
The past 24 hours have cemented President Donald Trump's reputation as America's "racist in chief." After tweeting a hateful diatribe about how four Democratic congresswomen of color should "go back" to where they came from, the President attempted to justify his racism with accusations that these members of Congress are anti-Israel. On Monday morning, he tweeted that these lawmakers "have made Israel feel abandoned by the U.S." and cited South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who called them all "anti-America" and "anti-Semitic."
[...]And despite his feigning concern about anti-Semitism, nearly three-quarters of Jews feel less secure than they did two years ago and the majority of Jews attribute their rising insecurity to Trump's policies. More specifically, many are concerned about Trump encouraging right-wing extremism and Republicans tolerating white nationalism within their ranks. In fact, according to a March Gallup poll, more than 70% of Jews continue to disapprove of Trump and only 16% now identify as Republicans.
....then Biden supported a fucking genocide in the name of trying to establish a safe place for Jewish people. When we all know his interest is actually oil in the middle east.
There is no fucking way either of them or the USA cares about any Jewish people or had their best interest in mind.
So that entire argument aside....
We can't keep letting white supremacists play these identity politic games and turning us on each other so we're keeping each other oppressed instead of helping each other be free.
Right now there are white queer people in my asks calling me (an Ojibwe) a Russian psyop for not wanting to vote blue.
That's the shit I'm talking about.
At the end of the day I don't want anyone except white supremacy and white supremacists to be decimated. I want a liberated and free people all over the globe.
Is that what you want too?
Then we have got to start focusing on the big picture. You are not my enemy and I am not yours. Our enemies are the same and they are unified.
We should be too.
International solidarity against white supremacy for the first time, for forever.

People are dying in DR Congo.
People are being enslaved to mine for the very materials in electronics.
You do not need a new phone. You do not need a new laptop. You do not need a new tablet.
If you absolutely need a new one buy it refurbished.
I have a Galaxy S7 that still works perfectly fine. You don't need a new phone every year.

The Global Strike to talk about Palestine has started. My account will be only reblogs and repost about Palestine and other ongoing genocides and oppressions, such as Democratic Republic of Congo, Sudan, Hawaii, Yemen, Puerto Rico, Uyghur people…
Please talk about what’s happening around the world. Million of people are being brutally killed or displaced. Everyone single one of these has a family, a history worth of being telled that has been interrupted by genocidal occupations.
STRIKE AGAINST GENOCIDE AND OPPRESSION!
18th-25th february

@ Non-Palestinian allies, we, Palestinians, are the driving force behind our own liberation movement. being defeatist is insensitive and counterproductive to our movement, it’s imperative for you all to energize and amplify our voices, as comrades, who are leading the struggle
It makes a lot of us feel uncomfortable when non Palestinian allies express defeatist rhetoric to us when we are the ones experiencing this first hand and second hand, our emotions are already high, we cannot take defeatism from you all at all.
it is we, who have loved ones in Palestine facing bombardment, we who cannot wear our cultural attires in the West w/o fear of being killed. Your allyship must embrace the frameworks of our joint-struggle and collective resilience by providing us the emotional support we need.
- Marwa 🇵🇸🕊️🪂

Keep protesting! Protests shouldn't be looked at from a position of "restricting" you or be seen as a punishment or chore. They fundamentally come from a place of love and belief that someone deserves better and that a wrong needs to be made right.
You don't need to wait to be told to speak up on something that isn't right and you should stay vocal about it. You should keep pressuring companies. You should keep evaluating what you need and want in your life with your purchase habits. You should look at what you can pirate, what you can replace, what you can go without, and what you can find alternatives for.
Protests aren't a chore when you approach them from a position of love for others rather than looking at them as inconveniencing yourself or making a performance out of it.
