I have always considered Tumblr to be a space separate from my personal opinions, beliefs and values - cultural, social or political. But the fact is that I feel most free while expressing myself here, rather than on Twitter or Instagram or other social media platforms, so I’d like to use this space to urge everyone to learn about what’s happening in Palestine right now.
Words do not suffice to cover the expanse of suffering, injustice and cruelty that Palestinians are facing at the hands of the Israeli government right now. The horrifying truth about seeing a genocide unfold before our eyes is blanketed through social media posts - we could not even fathom the reality of what is happening right now.
Except, that it is happening.
I have questioned myself many times these past few weeks about my own contribution in this situation - what can I do that’ll actually make a difference, or help someone? How much should I donate? Who should I speak to? What should I post?
But the fact is, that donating anything, speaking the truth, and posting facts about what is currently unfolding is the bare minimum of what we can do from the comfort of our houses, and so, this we must do, regardless of how much it contributes in reality - this is not something we can measure right now.
Friends, please play your part in raising awareness for Palestinians. I have never seen a people so strong, so resilient, so brave, and so kind. They deserve justice, they deserve safety, they deserve to live in peace and comfort. This is the least we can do for them, and for the sake of humanity.
