Pro-Israel people are possibly the hardest people to debate or even simply talk to because when you talk about the violence Palestinians face in Gaza, the West Bank, and the 48 territories their immediately response is “tell Hamas to surrender” or “release the hostages” as if bombing residential neighborhoods is lawful during war. They see images of a starving baby in Gaza, or of settlers taking over a Palestinian home in the West Bank, and their immediate reaction is to call it propaganda, acting as if they don’t fall for propaganda from the IOF. They see Ms Rachel interact with Palestinian refugees, many of whom are amputees because of the constant bombings, and they call her a Hamas supporter who wants Israeli children dead despite the fact Ms Rachel has constantly stood up for the rights and protection of ALL children.
Pro Israel people claim to condemn violence. They extend their empathy for the victims of October 7th, but refuse to extend their empathy to the millions of Palestinians who have endured violence and hardships long before and long after October 7th.
“Hind Rajab was shot over 300 times. Here’s footage of Israeli soldiers detaining Palestinian children. Here’s-“
“PROPAGANDA!! HAMAS!! THE HOSTAGES!!!”
I can’t believe we live in a world where people are so blind to the pain of others.

Israeli comments on the protests in Greece range from “this is because we didn’t sink the ships” to “at least we get to steal 50 ships” to “Greece is full of dirty Muslims now” to “we should use the boats for ethnic cleansing”
greta thunberg, liam cunningham, rima hassan, and everyone else on that ship, thank you, and i hope you succeed. i really hope you succeed. you know what you are risking, and i wish for you to come back safely, having done what you set out to do.
In every speech, Netanyahu justifies his crimes by saying he is fighting Hamas. I want to tell him that in 1948, when Israel killed my grandfather, Hamas did not even exist.
Because of this criminal, I lost my sister’s child to famine, I lost half of my family to bombing, and my mother and father were injured while trying to get food. Please, donate to my family if you can, share widely, and speak about us so we are not forgotten.
In light of Microsoft finally cutting off some portion of their complicity in the tech that fuels genocide, we need to recall that before the UN confirmed that Israel was committing genocide, they tried to cover their ass from being the storage system of Israeli soldiers' war crime videos by just deleting all of the OneDrive accounts made in Gaza.

knowing in your gut that the name of a thing is what it is even from the moment its censored version is announced and then knowing why the name of a thing is what it is after the entirety of said thing has played out are two completely different fucking experiences
i think the thing about batman's no kill rule is that its essentially bruce saying "guilty people don't deserve to be murdered on the street either, actually." and he's not wrong.
#batman's no kill rule has so many good layers and so few people want to engage with it beyond 'I think it's dumb'#and that includes actual batman writers who have given the stupidest reasons for its existence#like there's the logistical level#if batman starts killing then he is going to have more problems dealing with the law and public opinion than he already has#then there's the personal checks and balances level#bruce is already a fuckoff wealthy genius if he starts killing that's an additional layer of power he has to trust himself with#i think there are similar reasons behind why he never tries to take public office or start his own 'criminal' syndicate to push out others#so THAT is the level where it works as a cautionary 'don't become like them' thing because bruce is already too powerful#and too fixated on controlling things. if he gives himself additional leeway to take more power & control he's gonna lose it#like someone who knows they've got an addictive personality refusing to even touch cigarettes or slot machines because haha NO#then there's the ethical level of people don't deserve to be killed on the street#and also batman specifically doesn't *want* to kill#like yeah maybe in the moment he gets mad enough at the joker or someone that he could kill them#but in general part of the whole reason he does this is because he doesn't want people to die he wants them to get help#and in a super hero and villains universe part of meeting ppl where they're at is putting on a costume and solving their death puzzle
im really scared when i think about the long term consequences of the current famine in gaza. children are not eating enough. they cannot afford to eat enough. it's terrible how there's food rotting on the other side of the border in aid trucks while children are dying of malnutrition.
im especially scared about the infants and the disabled. children born in this genocide only know the constant sound of bombing. it's very terrible.
if you can, please consider donating to nour, mother of mohammed, a disabled child and mona, a little baby girl. the family needs all the support they can get to feed the children. the fundraiser is verified.
3/9/25 | @FilmUpdates: ‘THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB’ received a 22-minute standing ovation at the 82nd Venice Film Festival.
The longest of the festival so far.
@samah_fadil: can't help but wonder how many american-funded bombs and bullets ripped through palestinian flesh during those 22 minutes.
@NerdeenKiswani: Hollywood making movies about a genocide that’s still happening is their way of absolving themselves. They profit, pat themselves on the back, and package it as history, while 100+ Palestinians are starved and bombed daily. Their responsibility is to stop it now.
the world and its ghoulish consumerist media are just fossilizing the lack of shame and uselessness in their pathetic attention, two years into an open genocide, so we can pretend they're doing something such as "awareness", achieved a while back thanks to the resistance which is hardly if ever honored as much as journalists and the selective focus of the day which usually involves infantilizing a whole genocide looking for victims to sell to hollywood.
ffs, awareness isn't low, neither is the awareness of the reality of what must be done to stop the genocide of palestine.
what the world is low on is on bravery and the ability to die for others, so now liberalism shows its ugliest face: easier to make films and movies and continue to be safe and comfortable profiteering from other's suffering but impossible to reproach as hollywood standing for all genocidal "humanity "shields itself in the name of "art" and "memory". and why do these white genocidal useless vultures get to process others' deaths through their entitled lens and money and consumerism into their own memory forgetting palestinians dying right now? why do they get to approach desperate people and promise them nothing by giving them a space where nobody cares but for the circus they've made of morality and the responsibility we have for each other?
this whole exercise centering hind rajab only serves to obfuscate the selective genocidal infantilizing "empathy" of the west, the same sham of diplomacy meant to make palestinians into palatable victims, it offers nothing while it maintains what israel wanted from the beginning, for palestinians to lose everything, even their stories as they become the masks of white saviorism for liberal zionists normalizing and making once again historic the suffering of palestine.
it's plain horrifying to see how easy it's to make the general population fucking clowns the second there's the possibility of communal patting-in-the-back for OTHER'S PEOPLES GENOCIDE! this is the same as that liberal zionist friedland or whatever tf last week as if it mattered that there's still "conversations" to be had that aren't just circlejerks to coddle jewish people who like everybody else seem unable to cut ties with their zionist mom, dad, and friends and etc. for some godforsaken LIBERAL genocidal reason it's easier to make a circus out of that while the meaning of resistance is watered down into nothing and the demonstrations of action made by rachel corrie or aaron bushnell or the BRIGADES THEMSELVES are forgotten for a defanged intifada hellbent on coddling GENOCIDAIRE populations, wtf dude?
i hate how nobody is pushing anyone to the "violence" needed for change, violence here being an useless word now because the promise of not complying with a genocidal entity and responding to their acts of aggression is seen as a threat and thus, defined as violence. resistance is violence from the pov of the colonizer so why are we so afraid to just embrace the power needed to change? i am so damn tired of the mutilation of the "intifada" into nothing by the west, what uselessness is there in the water for no one to die for palestine? what will it take?
please donate to these two campaigns if anything today, share and donate as soon as now, the least we owe to palestine is survival, after that we owe them our lives and our children's too probably for a thousand years 🇵🇸

6/9/25 | @DropSiteNews:‼️The Voice of Hind Rajab wins Silver Lion in Venice — as Hind’s mother, surrounded by Israeli tanks in Gaza City, issues a “last cry for help”
Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania’s docudrama on 5-year-old Hind Rajab — killed alongside her family after hours trapped in a car under Israeli fire — won the Grand Jury Prize (Silver Lion), the festival’s second-highest honor, after premiering to a 24-minute standing ovation.
Meanwhile, Hind’s mother, Wissam Hamada, has issued an urgent plea from Gaza City, where Israeli tanks surround her neighborhood as the military moves to ethnically cleanse the city of its 1 million residents. Living there with her surviving 5-year-old son, she describes the siege as “a living hell” and says: “This could be my last cry for help. I am begging every influential person, every celebrity, every connection to save me… Tanks have surrounded our neighborhood. We must leave, but we have nowhere to go… I want to live. I want to protect my family. Please save us.”
Hamada has also appealed for financial support to survive. Her desperate plea and the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza City have gone unmentioned in the glowing international coverage of the film’s success.
hollywood trash can't even top her go fund me? fuck them fr
