What’s the point of the un, the geneva conventions, international law, etc if we see a genocide happening in front of our eyes but nothing is done to stop it.
Average Gaza social media user: Trying to find a place to keep my loved ones safe tonight, the bombing never stops and the air is filled with ash everywhere I go. If you receive this message please remember that the Palestinian people remain forever strong and will continue to fill the world with beauty and love no matter what is thrown at us.
Average Israeli social media user: Just finished brunnnnch with the besties 🤪, did you guys know that the average Palestinian IQ is 5 and that all Palestinian art has been scientifically proven to be worthless?
It’s amazing how on the internet I’m like hey here’s a thing that helped me. Maybe it will help you.
And then someone is always like if I do that thing though it will kill me.
Probably don’t do it then. Idk what you want from me, man.
If I’m like adding tomato to your sandwich is yummy and you’re like “but I’m deathly allergic to tomatoes what am I supposed to do”
Idk dude. Not eat tomatoes I guess.
I’ve got this old post where I was like hey sometimes it’s fun to try to get a chore done while you’re waiting for water to boil or something. Might help if you have adhd. It’s free deadline.
And I still get people commenting on that post like uhm no some of us have anxiety so bad that we’d pass out if we did that.
you know whats going to happen is that 10 years from now there are going to be leaks, re-election talking points, journalists making a quick buck by telling you “what really happened in palestine”, ex soldiers telling you how they feel so bad for doing something so abhorrent that they were just following orders and every shit actor on that hollywood list taking back their solidarity lamenting in that “they just didnt know! they followed trusted news sources!”, average people saying they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would take part in something so awful, that they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would fabricate propaganda and i just want you to know if Palestinians end up forgiving them i will not and neither will the world
we saw this all happen in real time and we saw your response and we have receipts
let the world never forget that it’s AMERICAN weapons being used to wipe out Gaza. that it’s AMERICAN tax money funding this genocide while the AMERICAN president and AMERICAN leaders support this mass murder of innocent people. let the world never forget America has Palestinian blood on its hands
i hope this is alright for me to add, but this poem references a line from one of hitler’s speeches ordering the genocide of polish jews. at the end of the speech, he justified the genocide by saying “who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the armenians?” in a very literal way, genocides are interconnected and used to justify one another. after all, the holocaust was partially modeled after the united states’ genocide of indigenous people. this is why it is so important to remember the victims of all genocides across history, and why it is so important for oppressed peoples to stand together in solidarity.
also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.
of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.
of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.
of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.
of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.
and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”
