I get so angry hearing and reading about what's happening in Palestine right now. I don't even know what to do and it all feels hopeless 😔

The situation around Sheikh Jarrah should make everyone angry. For those of you who might not know what’ going on here’s a brief breakdown:

Indigenous Palestinian residents of Sheikh Jarrah, for a very long time, have been fighting lengthy legal battles in Israeli courts against eviction orders which aim to replace these indigenous people with illegal Israeli settlers. 

On May 7th, the illegal Israeli settlers along with courts (an apparatus of Israel’s apartheid regime) have started a campaign to illegally take over the home’s of Palestinian families in Sheikh Jarrah. These families were given until today (May 10th, 2021) to “reach an agreement” with the occupiers. This obviously prompted protests. The IDF has also brutally responded to these protests. Now the world is watching and global protests have started happening.

Some important things to note:

-Sheikh Jarrah belongs to the Palestinian families. It is part of the occupied Palestinian territory, and therefore any Israeli settler presence in it amounts to a war crime under international law. 

-There has been a mountain of UN Security Council resolutions demanding that Israel withdraw from East Jerusalem which Israel continues to ignore.

-This is ethnic cleansing

I know you feel hopeless but here’s what we can do:

-Support BDS (Boycott, Divestments, Sanctions) movements (What”s BDS?) Boycott Israeli products from their colonial settlements

-Understand whats happening in Palestine and the crimes of apartheid/persecution being committed by Israel. (Check out this great report by HRW on the situation) After getting an understanding. SPREAD AWARENESS. Especially in the US. This is key to combatting Evangelical propaganda and Israeli lobbyists. Do this through social media.

-Contact your local reps and pressure them to stop giving Israel military funding or any form of financial support. Fight against zionist lobbyists such as AIPAC or Christians United for Israel.

-Donate if you can. Here’s a few links. If you can add more (reputable) donation links to this, I ask that you please do. 

International Medical Corps

Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Grassroots Al-Quds

I found this great twitter thread of donation links

Here is another

This is a start and we can honestly make change happen. I personally believe social media outrage coupled with supporting the BDS movement is a great way for you to help even by sitting at home. 

Most of all, it’s important to spread awareness.

I wanted to write a longer essay but in a nutshell; Cloti and Clerith inspire people in vastly different ways.

Clerith, to a lot of shippers, is about love overcoming death. In a midst of a world-ending calamity, two people are destined to meet and save the world. In such a short time, you found someone who would change your life in ways no one else can? Physical separation might be a price to pay, but the spiritual bond would never be broken. Love is something that transcends physical barriers and meant to be eternal. Despite the different ideas of love, as well as the stories of heartbreak and separation in real life, isn’t it wonderful to think that a story exists where two characters shared something far greater beyond our imagination?

Cloti, to a lot of shippers, is about love growing despite whataver life throws at you. You face the destruction of your homes, responsibility over past mistakes, death of loved ones, depression, guilt, moving on and each other’s weaknesses. In life, we struggle, we fall, we rise, we build again and walk together to face what is ahead. Because love isn’t always magical, it’s flawed and imperfect, but it has potential like the rest of us. Even at your weakest and lowest, even if it felt undeserved, you can still love and be loved in return.

People may see the stories differently but I believe there is beauty in both perspectives. One may prefer the other, both, or none but it’s a good thing to appreciate something that we don’t always agree with.
