just learned that a mutual of mine is pro israel (they’re now blocked) so i wanted to take the time to say that if you believe what’s happening in palestine is not a genocide than you are not welcome here. unfollow me block me whatever i don’t want you interacting with me at all
🇵🇸 From Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA):
This Ramadan make sure you’re not breaking your fast with the taste of apartheid. All you need to do is check the label to avoid buying dates from apartheid Israel. This includes dates labelled from Israel, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley or if the country of origin is not shown. Ramadan is a time of reflection and self-improvement. During this month we are more conscious of our actions and how they affect others. Israel is the world’s largest producer of Medjoul dates. Let's be conscious of not buying dates that support Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and apartheid regime. * Major UK supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose all sell dates from apartheid Israel as well as local grocery stores * The UK is the second-biggest importer of Israeli dates in Europe 50% of Israeli dates are exported to Europe, where the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy import huge quantities of the dried fruit. In 2020 the UK imported over 3000 tonnes of dates from Israel, worth roughly 7.5 million pounds. There are two peaks of date consumption in Europe. One is during the month of Ramadan and the other is during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Boycotting Israeli dates in Ramadan is a concerted community effort that can show we are not powerless. It would be brilliant to see all Israeli dates still left on shelves across the UK and Europe at the end of the blessed month. This would reflect our strength as a community to stand together with a very important message: We will not support the oppression of Palestinians and we will not be complicit in Israeli apartheid. So, this Ramadan #CheckTheLabel and boycott Israeli dates.
With Ramadan approaching, please consider sharing!
If you're in the UK, they also have leaflets available for order on their webpage. These tie into their upcoming campaign #CheckTheLabel, with a national day of action on the 16th of February.
Again, check their webpage for more info.

Hey remember when they found over 200 bodies of native children buried behind a residential school and the world cared for... what, a week?
They've counted about 6,000-7,000 now, for those of you who do still care
If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.
The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.
Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.
Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.
We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.
WTF ARE THE CRIMES OF THESE PALESTINIAN MEN THEY CAPTURED, TORTURED, AND HUMILIATED FROM KHAN YOUNIS? BEING PALESTINIAN? IS THAT THEIR CRIME??
This was on a NATIONAL broadcast. A NATIONAL broadcast... these innocent men were trying to flee to find safety... there are just too many words to describe the inhumanity and morally depravity involved in being able to do something like this -the IOF are the real terrorists.
Saw this gofundme on twitter and have not seen anyone post it on here too, it's for a family trying to escape the war in Sudan, please help if you can
If gofundme doesn't work, paypal is @hajokest

"Bisan flying a kite today ♥️ The Palestinian smile is resistance to the colonizers and their inhumane occupation. Palestine will be free."
from Wear The Peace, 19/Feb/2024:
Just wanted to draw attention to this, but renowned Palestinian musician Ramzi Aburedwan's first record with the Dal'Ouna ensemble, Oyoun Al Kalam has been made digitally available on multiple digital and streaming platforms (spotify, apple music, youtube) !! It's an absolutely beautiful album featuring the voices of Oday Al-Khatib and Noura Madi who were refugee students part of Aburedwan's music school. I cannot overstate how amazing and impactful their singing and vocalization sounds against the beautiful landscape of Aburdewan and Co's instrumentation. I'd also recommend listening to his most acclaimed album Reflections of Palestine while you're at it.
Queering the Map in Gaza and the West Bank
belalkh "Look at the mother's shock, her mind could not comprehend what happened to her children while they were sleeping
I do not believe that there is psychological treatment that can treat this mother for what happened to her"
I think about them, all the time, at all hours of the day.
Every time I'm sheltered from rain, every time I get to hold my brother in my arms, safe, alive.
I pray, but I'm so enraged and disappointed and helpless and distraught and I love each and every soul so, so much.
I wish I could grieve them all like they deserve.
I wish none of this would have happened.
I know you do too. So cry for them, and don't. stop. fighting.
Protect Palestianan children. Ceasefire now
in light of israel's looming invasion on rafah, south africa implored the icj to call for the protection of palestinians with new preliminary orders. the icj denied this request, insisting that its january orders would be sufficient in ensuring the safety of people residing in rafah.
we have all seen how israel responded to the icj verdict earlier this month. they have all but intensified their attacks on palestinians, their favorite of whom seem to be children. this will end in a bloodbath. palestinians, already malnourished and living in literal tents, will be bombarded, they will be shot, they will be slaughtered. and when i say palestinians, a lot of them are actual toddlers. the videos coming out of this are proof enough.
at this point, it has been made amply clear that palestinians will never experience safety in their own homeland. a lot of the families in gaza are trying to raise funds to get out of it, because there's nowhere left to go.
there is nowhere left to go. if these people don't get the funds necessary to escape, they will die.
it's vital that you go to operation olive branch's spreadsheet, choose a family that resonates with you, and donate as much as you can to their gofundme. every last dollar counts. one dollar could be the difference between life and death for a family. please don't fall victim to the bystander effect. your contribution counts, however little it may be. and whether you're able to donate or not, spread this to as many people as you can. each second we stay silent is a second an entire family is brutally massacred.
Praying for a just world; a world full of love and peace, a world with the right to equality for all, freedom from discrimination for all, right to life, liberty, and personal security for all, freedom from torture and degrading treatment for all, freedom from exile for all, right to freedom of movement for all, freedom to worship in peace for all, freedom of opinion and Information for all, right to education for all, right to water, food, and shelter for all, rights to adequate living standards for all.🙏🕊️
I really, really need help on this one, please!
I've donated to Rozana more than once. She's one of the people I've been trying to help who's funds are just not going up, and I can't be one of the few people helping her. I personally cannot afford to be donating as much as I am.
Even a small donation can help.
Please, PLEASE boost and donate if you can. Don't just like this post, reblog it. Liking it does absolutely nothing but piss me off and want to block you if you're going to be that completely useless in trying to save lives.
I don't care if this doesn't fit with your blog theme, and neither should you.
Don't be selfish and try to save a life! Boost this post!
UPDATE February 15th, 2024:
Thank you guys so much! Please keep donating!
And if you have any money to help anyone else, I've got plenty of people in my linktree needing help.
There's also quick, simple actions you can take there that can be taken daily.
When a Jewish Rabbi is saying that israelis stole the religion to use it as a shield against critisism, then maybe its time to forget the religions and focus on the fact that it was never about the religion and always about colonizing Palestine..
So once again, you are not antisemite if you are against israel. We need to call out their bullshit. Keep fighting.
If you wanna see the whole video you can find it on IG desiismybae (where I found this)
something i noticed,
israel can kill innocent Palestinians, they can bomb their homes, destroy their cities, tear apart their families, cut off their food and water, and dehumanize them all they want,
but theres somethings they cannot destroy:
they cannot destroy the solidarity that Palestinians and non-Palestinian activists have together
they cannot destroy the hope and determination we all have to fight and make this genocide end
they can NEVER destroy the compassion and love that our palestinian siblings have for eachother
i have seen hospitals being bombed, yet the doctors refuse to leave their patients to die
i have seen people being arrested and harassed online, yet activists refuse to be silent about this genocide
i have seen children, who are younger than me, fight for kids their age who cannot fight for themselves
i have seen millions of people, who are not from palestine, rally in support to end this genocide
and that is something beautiful we shall NEVER be silent until the people of palestine are able to live in peace without the fear of dying 🇵🇸🍉FREE PALESTINE!🍉🇵🇸
IT'S "FREE PALESTINE" UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE!! DONT STAY SILENT, BE LOUDER THAN EVER
