ISRAEL HAVE STARTED BOMBING RAFAH! THE PLACE THEY INSISTED WAS A SAFE REFUGE FOR THE PEOPLE OF GAZA! ALL EYES ON RAFAH!

[thatsroughbuddy0326]

the flour massacre is ongoing. it is everyday. it was not an isolated event. it was not even the first time israel shot at and killed palestinians going for aid (they do it whenever they allow aid through). in fact, they did the exact same thing yesterday morning. just because smaller-scale murders go under the radar for lack of shock factor doesn’t mean they’re not happening continuously.

One of the stories of Gaza. The way to buy flour is more horrific than an active battlefield

"I was on my way to buy flour when a man grabbed me by the leg. He was crying and saying he was injured. His leg was almost completely cut off. He begged me, that if he died, to deliver the bag of flour he had to his five daughters who hadn't eaten in a whole week and to please not leave him there and to take him to bury him home"

The IOF keeps opening fire and throwing bombs on Palestinians as they try to get to food

here's a link to the fundraiser set up by nex's mother. warning, they are misgendered in the description. an update corrects this and states that their headstone will say nex benedict.

they're currently way over goal, but the excess is going to other transgender teens.

[thatsroughbuddy0326]

Their name was Nex Benedict.

Nex Benedict, not whatever name the news keeps saying.

They're nonbinary, not whatever the news keeps saying.

They were the victim of a hate crime, their death was because of a hate crime. Their death was not an accident, it was a hate crime.

CALL YOUR SENATORS!!!!!!!!!

NOW!!!!!!!

tell them KOSA is shit and you think that supporting it is shit

also, with elections coming up, find out which senators are supporting it and vote against them!

and when I say call your senators, I do mean CALL. People don't call senators that much so calling them puts more pressure on them than other means of contacting them!

image id below cut:

A screenshot of a discord message reading:

it has not passed in the senate

Congress is in recess until the 26th, but as of now there are 62 cosponsors which represents a filibuster proof majority so it's looking pretty likely it will pass in the senate

the House is more of a roadblock because A. the house is generally dysfunctional as shit right now, they can't really get anything done and 2. there is MUCH less support for this in the house as compared to the senate

I don't think people truly understand the gravity of Rafah being bombed.

There is nowhere left to go.

The lowest cost is $5,000 USD to flee to Egypt. There has been people paying over $10,000 USD.

That is the only option

Pay or die.

Rafah was the only place in Palestine promised not to be bombed. That promise is broken.

1.5 million people have nowhere to go!

Reminder, if possible, please donate to the PCRF, ANERA, Islamic Relief, Palestine Red Crescent Society, Medical Aid for Palestinians, Defense for Children International - Palestine, Doctors Without Borders, and all other trusted organizations.

There's one charity that I haven't seen shared here personally, and that's Care for Gaza.

They're shared a lot on twitter as a reputable on-the-ground relief source. You can donate to their gofundme to help their efforts here.

While I am happy that the Hague's ruling is leaning towards a condemnation of Israel, we can't relent in our efforts.

Not only because this is merely a preliminary ruling, but because the ICJ does not have executive power over the Israeli occupation. The IDF is free to violate their ruling at any time, at the cost of being deemed international criminals, which has never stopped them before.

Moreover, even if the Israeli government complied, the legal outcome alone is a return to the status quo. Gaza was under siege long before 2023, and the apartheid still stands.

I am not trying to discourage you: this is an unprecedented amount of support behind Pro-Palestinian advocacy, and we now have to decide if we'll use this opportunity to work towards the end of Israeli occupation of Palestine, or walk away from the issue now that the genocide is reeled back in.

So if you're tired, if you're drained, please, let this small victory embolden you and let's double our efforts.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)

i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.
