A small comic about Palestine I created to appeal to more passive family and friends

Anyways if you have the money I urge you to donate to Ibraheem Hadi, a Palestinian who contacted me and whom I promised to highlight in relation to this comic:

Donate to Help me and my family to evacuate from Gaza, organized by Devlin Downs

Title: "Urgent Relief: Support Ibrahim's Family in Gaza Amidst Devastation" … Devlin Downs needs your support for Help me and my family to

Otherwise there is always a need for eSims to keep Gazans connected

Image description: A 10-page comic, mostly drawn in a warm gray palette with occasional red and green accents.

Page 1: Text in all caps reads: "Has your home ever been broken into?" A speech bubble below says "Mine has," with the top half of the speaker's head cropped at the bottom of the page.

Page 2: Effen as a child stands in front of an open door, holding the strap of a duffle bag on the ground. An older family member looks on from the side, hand held up in a shocked gesture. Text reads: "When I was around ten a burglar broke into my family's home while we'd been on a trip." The next panel is split in two with a jagged line, a broken lock hooked between them. Text: "Things were taken. Locks were broken"

Page 3: Text reads: "The worst was the damage though. Bedrooms were ransacked and mindlessly wrecked. Mine was specifically in a bad state". The text is surrounded by destroyed items in the room: A torn Pokémon poster; a tipped-over bed with a torn sheet; a framed photo, crooked on the wall, glass cracked; an open book, pages flying out, a coin purse, money scattered, and a nightstand, drawers pulled out and left askew.

Page 4: Text reads: "I don't know why". Effen stands in the bedroom doorway, framed by the dark room interior, a shocked expression on their face.

Page 5: Child Effen is crying, arms folded. Beside them is Effen as an adult, looking off to the side and pulling at their shirt collar anxiously. Text reads: "That was my first personal experience with loss and violation. My fragile childhood room so easily beaten and battered. And it has stayed with me; the anxiety I felt that night."

Page 6: Several drawings of adult Effen carefully tidying. Text reads: "Every time I leave my home for more than a day I pack up. I hide as many things as I can, and I think about what I can accept to lose."

Page 7: Effen looking out a vehicle window with a worried expression, chin resting against one hand. She is wearing a keffiyeh. Text reads: "Over the summer I've been on a few trips and gone through this dreaded routine." Below, a large tree is engulfed in flames. Text: "And I've been thinking of Gaza and of Palestine as a whole."

Page 8: Text reads: "Of millions of homes ransacked, broken, and obliterated. Of millions of families displaced and with no true place to call their own. Of millions of violations so much worse than mine." Accompanying illustrations span across three panels: Destroyed homes and rubble. Then, clustered tents, with a few people standing outside. Last, a hand sticking out of a body bag.

Page 9: Text reads: "Of ancestral fields now barren ground in the wake of bombing. Of grinning invaders taking pictures in houses that aren't theirs. Of a loss that continues still. A loss that my government, like a burglar, profits from." Accompanying illustrations show a barren field, smoke billowing upwards; a photo of Israeli soldiers with their eyes crossed out, posing on a couch and smiling with guns in hand, the image burnt at the bottom edge; and two bloodied hands with coins falling between them.

Page 10: Effen stares at their phone. Text reads: "And it all makes me furious. So I walk the streets, I donate, and I try to do what I can." An illustration of them at a protest follows, with a large Palestinian flag held up by a protestor behind them. A large tree with green leaves comes up from the bottom, the text above it reading, "For everyone deserves a right to return to their home without having it broken." End ID.

hi. you've all heard from me on various posts, in different ways to encourage donating to different palestinian fundraisers. it is beyond clear that people have grown complacent the longer the genocide goes on. a numbness has entered into the dialogue around what people will say or be willing to do to help people in a time of crisis. and i cry.

we cannot give up on these fundraisers or these people. they are people. they are brothers and mothers and sisters and fathers and friends and lovers and everything in between.

for the first time since we started doing short-term goals, my friend Siraj @siraj2024 has not met his goal. we are still 901 CAD from this newest goal.

he would like to reach 70k by today. he needs to reach this goal to be able to buy a water generator for him and his family. 23 lives are looking to him, and to US to raise that money.

please, donate.

Donate to Support Siraj's Family in Rebuilding Their Home, organized by Ahmad Abudayeh

hi, my name is ahmad and I'm raising a fund for my cousin Siraj and thi… Ahmad Abudayeh needs your support for Support Siraj's Family in Reb

[guldaastan]

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

Oh yall like spideypool huh? I’m picking up what yall r putting down…

[stuckinapril]

Was scrolling through @skatehani’s blog to see if there were any details I missed for his campaign, and I literally forgot how to breathe. Seeing his baby sisters sitting in the midst of destruction, the injuries his family sustained, the fact that they’ve been displaced since October of last year — it’s all so much. Please please continue reblogging and donating to Hani’s fundraiser. I can’t stand the thought of his family enduring the worsening conditions in northern Gaza for one moment longer. Please reblog this. Please donate whatever you can.

[stuckinapril]

This is made so much more urgent by the fact that northern Gaza was first hit by it all. The first to be denied aid, the first to be denied water and electricity, the first to have gotten displaced. It’s been almost a year now. I cannot so much as begin to fathom the levels of malnourishment and pain this family is going through. We are so close to this goal that I don’t want to stall and mince words and pretend it’s not urgent. It is. This family has been suffering from displacement and starvation since October. Literally for a whole year now. They need the funds, and they need them now. Please reblog. Please donate.

[stuckinapril]

There have barely been any donations all day yall!!!!!! Please keep boosting this!!!!!!!!!

hi riki! this is a bizarre question ngl, but im wondering if you could please tell me about why you are anti-Zionist? Since i have FRESHLY (last month!! Woohoo!!) become bat mitzvah, and I’m not going to beit Sefer every week now, I’m starting to realize that what I was told about Israel and zionism miiiight be innacurate. Please feel free not to, but I would personally feel more comfortable hearing about Antizionism from somebody who is for sure not hiding any antisemitic biases. Thanks and I hope it’s not a bother!

Mazal tov!

I was debating if I should reply to this and how. You're only one year older than my son and I never considered talking about this with a kid other than my own children. But if you're online reading and looking up information about this, I'll just answer the way I would for anyone. Like I said, I don't mind explaining. But I don't have the energy to collect sources for you. I'll do that later if you'd like. For now it'll be a bit of a rant.

Basically, if you ask different people what zionism is, you'll get different answers. Some people say that zionism is just the acknowledgement of our connection to this land. That's not what I'm going against. I'm not denying that this is our ancestral homeland. I've never known a different home, I grew up near Hebron. Our history means everything to me. So maybe you could create some definition of zionism that I wouldn't be against. But then I'll be against the use of the word because in practice, politically, the movement has been colonialist. And that reality is more important to me. So when I say I'm antizionist, I'm not talking about whatever pretty idea someone might have, I'm talking about things that to me are very concrete.

Zionism uses whatever political terminology is useful to it at the time. Currently, it tries to paint itself as a sort of landback movement, placing us as the indigenous population of this land. This is a distraction. If you mean "indigenous" as "this is where we originated" - both us and Palestinians are indigenous, which makes this term pointless to this situation. If you mean "indigenous" as "a local population facing colonization" - they're indigenous and we're the colonizers. That's the more politically useful distinction.

And the thing is, zionists knew they were colonizers. Ben Gurion was welcomed by the local population and expressed hope that they're nomadic and could be persuaded to leave. Ze'ev Jabotinsky argued that no land has been colonized with the consent of its natives, so we should just take what we want like other occupying forces did. They knew what they were doing. At the time, there wasn't the broad political pushback against colonialism that you see today, so they didn't really hide it. They saw themselves as the colonizing force and the Palestinians as the natives and this distinction had them placing themselves above the Palestinians.

When I was in school, I was made to believe that Palestine was never truly a country and the population here was never a cohesive nation. You might see questions like "Who were the Palestinian prime ministers and presidents? What was the Palestinian coin? What Palestinian wars were there before the creation of Israel?"

These questions tell you nothing other than the fact that Palestine has been under foreign occupation for a very long time. They try to lead you to believe that Palestine and the Palestinian identity are fictional constructs designed to deny us our place in this land.

But Palestinians have their own dialect of Arabic. They have their own varieties of Middle Eastern foods. They have their own clothing, their own embroidery patterns, their own dances. They have a very rich culture that wasn't just made up from nothing within the last century. I still have to battle against cognitive dissonance every time I find something of the sort, because Palestinian culture goes against everything I was taught.

The truth is, the British had no right to occupy Palestine, and they had no right to offer it to us. If we pretend there was no population that was wronged when we took Israel, we can be "the good guys" with Palestinians being a sinister plot to ruin us. This turns normal families, normal people, into a conspiracy made to hurt us. We're not fighting a military force - every Palestinian person is a threat to our legitimacy. Israelis don't even really use the term "Palestinians" - they're just Arabs, their individual identity is stripped from them. We pretend that they belong to other countries around us.

Israeli propaganda will tell you that we only ever act in self defense. It's in the name of our military, it's called a defense force. Israel boasts that it has the only ethical military in the world. The only defensive one. But like I said, we define threats very broadly. And we whitewash a lot of history. I was taught in school all our fighting was defensive - and then I spoke to an elderly man and he said "of course we killed whole villages, it was war, that's what you do." Only as an adult I found out about things like the Sabra and Shatila massacre and our involvement in it.

For the existence of Israel as an ethnostate, every Palestinian is a threat. A lot of people are all in favor of Israel, but against the government actions of ethnic cleansing. The truth is, the ethnostate is not sustainable without the ethnic cleansing. You can't accept one and expect it not to lead to the other. An ethnostate is never a justified goal, and that's always been the goal of zionism as a practical movement.

And I know why this exists. We've had two millennia of persecution. Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of bigotry. And we just experienced an attempt to industrially exterminate us, we lost millions, including from my own family. We want shelter and safety and the ability to defend ourselves. I just can't see that as justification for what we did and continue to do.

You can look up our human rights abuses, but personally, there were moments that hit me. When I saw a whole warehouse of mail intended to reach Gaza, mail that's been kept from them for years, including items like wheelchairs, in such bad conditions that some envelopes got moldy. I still think of the people who spent all that money to get a wheelchair and were prevented mobility because we decided to hold their mail.

I watched the biggest apartment building in Gaza collapse under our bombs and I cried thinking about the people inside, and about the potential survivors and everything they lost.

I watched our people beat up the pallbearers at the funeral of Shireen Abu-Akleh, a Palestinian reporter. They almost dropped the casket from all those beatings. They were no threat. They just carried her. There was no reason to hurt them.

On the news, after Shireen Abu-Akleh died, the description of the Palestinian response to her death was that they're "חוגגים על המוות." The literal translation is that they're celebrating over the death, but that's not what it means. The meaning is that they're exaggerating their pain and their grief. They're acting, pretending, milking the injustice of it for show. And that's a common Israeli narrative, that Palestinians make a big deal out of things and pretend to suffer more just to make us look bad. We've dehumanized them to the point where we don't believe their grief.

And before all of this, growing up, I saw what the "us vs them" mentality caused in children. I grew up in Kiryat Arba and the population there is very strongly zionist. It's a settlement. It's largely Dati Leumi (national religious? I'm not sure how to translate, dati means religious and leumi means national). Over there I saw children as young as six cheerfully talk about joining the military and killing Arabs. I saw a kid throwing chocolate past the electric fence separating us from them, and laughing when a small Palestinian child went looking for that chocolate, calling her a pig. I saw my high school classmates questioning if they should help the family of a six-months-old baby, first demanding to know if the sick infant is Arab.

The Israeli left has a bit of a slogan. הכיבוש משחית. The occupation corrupts. It means that being an oppressive force changes what we are. It ruins us. And I truly believe that. It taints so much about us and our culture, about our compassion and our ability to have solidarity with other humans. Many principles that kept us safe in diaspora are used now to harm gentiles living under our control, and Palestinians suffer most of all.

So these are the reasons I'm antizionist. I hate what we do to Palestinians. I hate what it does to us. And more fundamentally, I'm against colonialism.

[pro-prin-prinny]

I hope you don't mind me reblogging this post and adding to it a bit.

I want to put a bit more emphasis on these lines. It's fucked. Pardon my language but it IS. I'm Native American so I know these lines pretty well too. A bunch of states came together and decided loosely what made a nation and anything else is free game. "If you don't meet the standards we made up you aren't human." And you have to meet all of them so if they need to they just add more rules on.

There doesn't have to be some kind of state leader for someone to live somewhere and it be their home. It's messed up humans have to play along with a game made up centuries ago to be seen as independent and worthy of life.

Of course I know these lines are just colonization in general. It's just wild that people still use the same talking points they just dropped the word "colonizing" because it has negative connotations.

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

I appreciate additions like this. I don't have all the perspectives and I think it's great when someone focuses on a point like this one and expands on it.

[bijoumikhawal]

further I'll add from a Coptic perspective, the word "Indigenous" is used in such a convoluted manner that someone else I knew made the comment that it almost seems intentional, and given that the distinction is imposed because of colonialism...

See, Indigenous and Native are often used to mean "from somewhere" which is how you get people saying that like, white French people are Indigenous to France or what the hell ever. I also see this definition used a lot in African discussions about Arab and Arabized peoples and Indigenous African (in aggressively simplified terms, some combination of non-Muslim, have their own non-Arabic language even if its in decline, and depending on the region, Black) peoples in Africa. This is also used to deny the rights of Indigenous groups that experienced post colonial ethnogensis (which effectively means they formed a new identity under colonization or imperialism, and do not have an easily identified "pre-colonial" identity). Further, once a people is "from somewhere" they are always "from somewhere". It doesn't recognize shifts in political reality.

However the political definition of Indigenous- which I use- is that of a specific political situation (which theres some disagreement on how exactly to describe that i wont hash out here), and therefore is an identity that exists within context. To put it simply- you are not Indigenous, you are made Indigenous. It's a verb, almost, something that happens to you. A pre-colonial society is not Indigenous. It is made so by colonialism.

These are all relevant because Zionism-as-Indigenity relies mostly on the "from here" definition, and obfuscating facts. It ignores the ethnogensis of modern Palestine specifically because it is "modern". Sometimes I see people claim that Palestinian identity did not exist until a century or so ago. If that was the case (it isn't) this does not make Palestinian identity invalid, it means the political shift of 100 years ago caused an ethnogensis under oppression. This is not that uncommon! Further, a few very commonly recognized ethnic identities are, technically speaking, new, due to the tie between ethnicity and modern post-Enlightement states. However, those identities are not controversial, because they come from states with global political power. There is also the argument that as "Palestinian=Arab" (not true either, Palestinians of different backgrounds exist) that means Palestinians "came from somewhere else", i.e. by immigration or conquest after the Second Temple and exile, which isn't really true either (for one thing a significant amount of Palestinians in certain regions are of Samaritan and Canaanite descent). And finally, as you already pointed out, the political reality of the past almost 80 years has involved Palestinian oppression and Zionist colonization, so even if Palestinians were a new Arab-only identity and every Palestinian came from the Arabian peninsula in the past 2000 years, they still would be Indigenous because that IS the political reality.

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

Thank you, one thing that I really regret not saying more clearly in the original post is that even if the current reality is a response to us, it really doesn't matter what social structure and identity existed in Palestine before zionism.
