"This is more about your ego and pride than Palestine" No its about putting pressure on a party that is supporting genocide

It's about logic

Biden and the DNC would rather cause dissent and dissatisfaction within their own party rather than call for a ceasefire

They know they can get away with it because they're a better option than Trump, because they know they could murder babies in front of you and you'll still vote for them.

So why would they call for a ceasefire when they don't need to?

That's why putting the pressure on them, saying they won't get our vote or saying we are looking for other options is so important.

Because that's the only way they will change.

By saying "Vote Blue No Matter Who", you give him and the DNC permission to permit genocide despite the vast majority of public opinion. You say they can do whatever they want because you will vote for them anyways.

You tell them they don't need to do anything else. That in fact they can do whatever they want. You've shown them you are so terrified of your own government that you would rather lie down and let it walk all over you than put any pressure on them at all

They have a year to make a change. Biden could end this all tomorrow, but why would he when he has you doing his dirty work?

#there is nothing to be proud of here there is no ego here #if anything i am deeply ashamed that my vote and my country has allowed this to get so bad and that my tax dollars have led to this #i didnt read the whole ask because it was abother essay but if you are implying im voting third party because of an ego you are part of #the problem here #but im sad because so many people i thought were friends or people i admired have shown they dont actually care abouot the world #if it were my country's people that biden was funding a genocide against they would still expect me to support it #i want desperately to never think about politics or any of this but when millions of lives are directly at the mercy of my government #the least i can do is not give them a pat on the back and look away for my own comfort #at least in finding out who to block and unfollow i guess #us politics #joe biden

Gaza Is Palestine

#2023 #Important #Palestine #Gaza #free palestine #this is genocide #*EDIT it is now November 20 so these numbers are sadly small in comparison to the actual losses #*Please don't stop talking about Gaza and Palestine! They are being forcibly removed from their homes #*Or just brutally attacked and murdered when not removed #*and I say 'removed' but it's really the only word I can think of besides 'fucking bombed and harassed and terrorized into fleeing' #*BUT don't stop talking about them! Israel is commiting genocide and the world powers are ALLOWING it #*This has been going on for 75 years! It must end now! #*Also keep doing your own research - DO NOT rely on western media or even large organizations for both sides #*This is a genocide built on greed and racism and Israel has lots of money and political ties to buy their 'truth' to be published

"Israeli forces have been targeting hospitals in northern Gaza again. Video shows medical staff and patients, including a newborn, fleeing Kamal Adwan Hospital after Israeli missiles struck its emergency department." from Al Jazeera English, 22/May/2024:

#how do we live in a world where this is allowed? watched? funded? celebrated?! how?! do brown lives matter so little?! #human rights #human lives #people #palestine #this is genocide #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #i stand with palestine #rafah #save rafah #north gaza

idk i wish people would talk more about papua when it comes to occupied nations.

free papua.

#we exist too. our villages are getting bombed. we get thrown in prisons for no reason. we're not allowed to fly our flag. #and the whole world ignores it because the grasberg mine is there and they care more about gold than they do about human lives. #and like. we've been begging people to acknowledge our genocide but nobody fucking listens #the death toll is estimated to be around 100k to 300k and still we get ignored #nobody fucking cares about us. i wonder if they'd care if our skin was lighter. #it makes me so fucking sick to think that we're dying and we still never get mentioned in discussions of occupied nations #and the un is so fucking useless when it comes to the conflict. they make half-assed attempts for brownie points if at all. #then they go back to letting the indonesian military bomb our homes. #i wish i could go home but i don't think i ever will be able to when it's been 50+ years of genocide and people still ignore us. #genocide cw

If Israel really gave a shit about their national security, or whatever line they're using this month, they would stop the killing and allow a Palestinian state.

Oh, you need to be safe from the scary freedom fighters? So that's why you murder whole families, leaving the survivors with nothing but a desire to prevent this from happening to their neighbours?

The people willing to fight and die for freedom are just so threatening that you have to give them more of a reason to fight?

You're scared that there will be violence against you so that's why you walk away from the few truce talks you bother to show up to?

If national security really was their priority they would take peaceful steps to ensure future security, rather than ensuring they have generations of enemies.

They don't want security. They want supremecy, and violence is their only means to get it.

But they won't have it. Palestine will be free, and the world won't ever forget this.

#they bombed a fucking displacement camp and called it a hamas compound. these soulless cunts just want death #israel doesnt have a right to exist. and they dont seem to want the world to tolerate them any more #everyone who has allowed this genocide to go on deserves to get the wall

SquidgeWorld refusing to even talk about Palestine and other genocides happening because "this a fandom space" is wild and severely disappointing

#squidgeworld #// rant #'death threats' are not an excuse to stay silent!!!! #yeah they're not cool but you made it clear you wouldn't say anything either #stop allowing to look away by giving them a space where they can #what about palestinians or sudanis or congolese folk who are being genocided- #-who want the privilege to read fics on your site?? they don't matter?? #'you wouldn't ask google 'what's your stance on x' you are not google!!! you are *one* person!!!! #'fandom spaces are sacred' sacred enough to turn a blind eye to genocide?? the fuck??? #fuck your 'escapism' you are encouraging people to look away #that's not escapism that's ignoring the world in favor of your happiness #the LEAST you COULD'VE done was making a post saying you want a free palestine/sudan/dr congo/etc. or express SOME form of solidarity #'yes the world is unjust' then speak up bitch!!!! #so ao3 are zionists and squidgeworld is refusing say anything #maybe it's better for nobody to use your site 🤷🏾‍♀️ #if you can't even stand in solidarity with people of color then you don't actually care about fandom #because the people being genocided that you don't care about are the same people in these 'fandom spaces' you claim to care about!! #honestly feel like a damn fool for even suggesting people migrate there from ao3 #people who look away are not allies. they're cowards who don't want to lose support for being on the right side of history #anyways free palestine/sudan/dr congo/haiti/hawaii/tigray and other countries and nations experiencing genocide!!! #by refusing to speak up you have chosen the side of the oppressor. #long post

[lemedstudent2021]

these are all over a decade old, and are as relevant as ever

the last one references an infamous holocaust photo of a little Jewish boy in the Warsaw Ghetto raising his hands in surrender to the Nazis who appear to be visibly enjoying terrorising the child.

history doesnt repeat itself, people do

#israel is an apartheid state #israel is a terrorist state #israel is a war criminal #freedom for palestine #gaza #palestine #free gaza #free palestine #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #the first one is about 15 years old #this conflict has been going on for 75 years #the world insists on ignoring israels war crimes and allows the ethnic cleansing and genoicde of palestinians #freedom for gaza #caricatures #genocide in palestine

"ummmmm yeah that strike bisan called for is really rushed and leaves no time to prepare for it and its during finals season and it's just poorly organized :/" hmmm I. well. I wonder why a palestinian journalist living in palestine is calling for a strike on very short notice. i wonder why a palestinian journalist living in the midst of her own genocide for the past two months where. where disease outbreaks are rising and no one can find food or water and many of these people (including bisan herself a few weeks ago at one point) are not expecting to live more than a few days let alone weeks. I wonder why someone living in this horrific and incredibly bleak and uncertain situation is calling for strikes without planning weeks/months in advance. I wonder why! they are not planning these with weeks/months or even days of prep time in mind! I wonder why! this is quite a conundrum! lets uh. lets put our fucking thinking caps on! so to speak!

#also i hope everyone i saw calling her strike proposal 'slacktivism' gets hit by a bus every day forever #there's a difference between some microinfluencer going like 'um we're going on strike 😊in two weeks 😊 for ✨no labor day ✨' #on tiktok and making it a poorly disorganized game of 'i'll do it if you do it' to the point where it fucking flops the day of #bc of shitty organization (and just flat out lack thereof) #and a palestinian journalist who has already at one point gotten very sick and said she expected to die in the coming weeks/maybe days #who has been living in the midst of a genocide of her people that the global superpowers are actively endorsing & allowing to happen #making 'short-notice' calls for a ceasefire only a day before the planned start day bc *they do not have much fucking time* #save the 'poorly organized :/' criticism for ppl that aren't enduring a genocide that is being fuelled by shitty world leaders #mine #free palestine #bisan #bisan owda #also iirc it was mostly organized for jordan/the west bank so your criticism is even more ridiculous

[metapphjores]

there is no future or liberation for any movements that sees their "enemies" as non-human

#having read accounts of some of the most soul-destroyingly cruel and evil actions taking during genocides by their perpetrators #i understand how easy it is to divorce these people from our concepts of humanity and logic but like #nothing will be solved unless you understand that these people commiting these crimes are in fact human #and nearly nothing seperates you from them but your situations. nothing. there is no inherent moral center that these people lack. #if we were raised in these circumstances we too would do these things. the reasons people within these systems reject them is not because #they are uniquely better and more human than the majority of their ethnic group / fellow nationals / whatever #but that they were in circumstances that allowed them to understand that they were being lied to #these people actually do have be engaged with and accepted as human beings. you can not kill or remove every person who has participated #its doesnt work like that. it has never worked like that. changing things is awful demoralizing generational work that we may never see the #results of but it very literally is the only option. any solution that denys the humanity of any of the parties involved will fail and will #leave all these issues for the next generation to solve. the only way forward is to destroy THE SYSTEM creating these circumstances and hope #it leaves a better world for the children.

I can’t even fathom the amount of suffering this man is experiencing… Using only a hammer, a father of four is doing everything in his power to find his children under the rubble. The pain in his voice as he calls out for his son and daughter is absolutely heartbreaking.

The world has failed him, his children, and many others like them..

#i literally hope and pray that every world leader who allows atrocities like this to happen to go to hell #palestine #free palestine #gaza #gaza strip #free gaza #gaza under attack #genocide #ethnic cleansing #human rights

[notetaeker]

#on the antisemítism note I just want to say I know many Jewish people who also support palestine #and trust me no one ever has anything against them #they are loved and welcomes as witnesses #my heart is broken #this is how ethnic cleansing is allowed to happen #even when the whole world knows #what a sad thing for humanity #Palestine genocide

[sarroora]

❗️❗️EYES ON RAFAH ❗️❗️

#eyes on rafah #free palestine #and fuck israel #end israeli occupation #Zionism is a death cult #settler colonialism #ethnic cleansing #usa is a terrorist state #Israel is a terrorist nonstate #palestine genocide #I swear if the world leaders were cast aside and people were allowed to go to war #this genocide would end in 30 minutes #zionists are too cowardly to face even children #they only know how to blow them up from the sky #Zionist’s are savages and barbarians #and there will come a time #when what they’re doing to the Palestinians will happen to them.. #but instead of shedding tears #people will watch and smile #because it will be all deserved

every time i see a post thats some bullshit along the lines of "you don't really think harry potter is a bad book you just say it because it's cool to hate it now" or whatever i hate harry potter even more

ive been SOLIDLY on the harry potter hate train for literally as long as ive been in fandom and while nothing will ever justify joanne outing herself as literally evil i still breathe a sigh of relief knowing every day i'm a step closer to never having to see serious political issues being compared to voldemort ever again

#fuck harry potter #dgmw i would prefer a world where the author isnt contributing to lgbt+ genocide. obviously. #but im allowed to be happy that hp isnt fucking everywhere anymore and i dont miss it

I like following you but can you go back to reblogging vg gifs soon, its why I’m here

the genocide of the palestinian people is being broadcast online across every social media platform and they are begging us not to look away and turn a blind eye to their suffering doctors and mass graves and murdered children and final words and you want me to post baldur’s gate or whatever. unfollow me and get the fuck out.

#this is such a fucking weird thing to ask too like. no. #letters #edit: no this makes me so angry actually #tumblr loves to suck its own self righteous dick and act like it’s the social justice hub of the world #yet it’s been the most silent of all social medias about palestine and this person’s audacity is just proof of that #i’m sick of this website’s ‘but this is my safe space’ ‘protect your mental health first’ bullshit excuses #just say it with your full chest. say that the palestinian genocide is an inconvenience to you. say it. #i am so happy your guys’ consciences allow you to turn away and pretend it isn’t happening truly /s #but i refuse to be like you and i reject the notion this stupid fucking website has that that is somehow moralizing #the least anyone with the privilege of looking away can do is bear witness. the least. #and personally i cannot stomach being on this website this past week much less posting about anything else. so i won't.
