It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.

decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years

UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire

US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire

Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests

Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund

Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza

White folks ain’t going to reblog this. They want their version of MK Jr. that only said “I have a dream”.

Guilt tripping white people into reblogging stuff isn’t going to make you have more allies, just saying.

dreamyblackchild

It’s not about guilt tripping.

It’s about white people, even well-intentioned white allies, being too comfortable in their privilege and not learn more about the complex beliefs of civil right leader MLK Jr other than his “I have a dream” speech. MLK Jr. talked extensively about American Imperialism, Capitalism, and White Fragility/Complicity throughout his career and activism, which most Liberal white allies won’t share because they’re too comfortable with the white lies they were taught in schools.

linguaphiliax

Reblogged.

ephemeralharmony

totally agree, however that is still guilt tripping lol

alwaysbewoke

here’s the hilarious thing about calling this “guilt tripping.” the psychological definition of a “guilt trip” is an UNJUSTIFIED feeling of guilt induced in someone else. um, what about anything here said about white people that’s “unjustified” or baseless? we’ve got over 400yrs of evidence to back up our statements about white people. we even got studies, research and stats. none of which shows what @dreamyblackchild said to be false.

The research suggests that when intolerant white people fear democracy may benefit marginalized people, they abandon their commitment to democracy.

Whites See Racism as a Zero-Sum Game That They Are Now Losing

Martin Luther King and the ‘polite’ racism of white liberals

White Americans long for the 1950s, when they didn’t face so much “discrimination”

lmaoo white people love to act like we don’t have centuries of examples of who they are. always want to act brand new. like this suspicion and mistrust of your character isn’t earned every fucking day by your behavior, your treatment of black people, native people, brown people, by who you vote for, who you support with your money, who you tone police, your “jokes” and more. foh! like there isn’t a trail of dead black, native and brown bodies in your wake. we watched y’all whitewash the fuck out of mlk’s legacy (AFTER KILLING HIM BTW) and then tried to use that whitewashed version to limit our fight for liberation and justice to just the acts your comfortable with and then have the fucking nerve to say that calling out your typical behavior to be “guilt tripping?” fuck you.

the one other thing i know about “guilt tripping” is that it only works on people with a fucking conscious. foh!

alwaysbewoke

no effort whatsoever. like mlk said…

sweetcribs

for all the constant mlk quoting about “content of our character” blah blah blah i hear from white people, how do they think this reflects on their character?

Masha Amini's death was a tragedy that absolutely did not have to happen. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, who just had their child's life taken away.

She was only 22. That's soo young. She was arrested because she was a woman, and society has rules about what a woman should look and act like. And that is true for every country, not just Iran.

I'll ask any non-Muslim ppl from the West to take a second and leave their thoughts about veils aside. Especially women. Feminism takes different forms in different cultures because even though women are oppressed all over the world. Different cultures have different rules for them. In Iran women cut their hair and burn their veils because a woman was murdered by police, for wearing her veil incorrectly.

In the west women experience violence for liking women, for not dressing feminine or for wearing revealing clothes. Or, for wearing veils.

It's not about the hijab, it's about oppression. Please, find it in your heart to support the women of Iran and do so, as people who've experienced and understand oppression. Do. Not. Think like "let's ban hijabs all together", all you're doing is telling women from another culture HOW TO DRESS. Which is the whole fucking issue.

Feminism should be about support. Support Mahsa Amini's story by talking about it, by sharing it, by being LOUD. Every step we take together matters because it affects everyone.

The death of Mahsa Amini on Friday, who had been picked up by Iran's morality police, has triggered daring displays of defiance. | ITV Natio

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf

A little context for those who don’t know: recently a woman was arrested by the Iranian morality police (who enforce mandatory headscarves and other theocratic policies) and died in custody. This has sparked massive protests across Iran.

And she wasnt even arrested for not using the hijab but bc she was using it "incorrectly". So she was even following the law and still got killed.

They have also tried to claim that she died from natural causes, even when she was 22. And they realesed a very fake video as evidence of that.

aftabkaran

THIS. For the love of every thing that is good, if you considered yourself a feminist or a progressive of any sort, support Iranian women. It’s not complicated what is happening. What’s wrong with you people.

okay people who have been fighting to unwhitewash the clones, now is your time to help māori!!

What’s happening

- 182.41 hectares of our ancestral land in Wairarapa has come up for sale.

- This whenua backs onto our maunga Tararua, our awa, Waiohine and is near our whānau urupā, Te Uru o Tāneroa.

- The tender price is between $1.2-1.5 million.

- Our whānau are trying to raise money to meet the tender price.

- Our iwi has not settled, so we have no collective financial base.

- Our whānau want to buy back our whenua and establish papakāinga and sustainable business to bring our people home to Wairarapa.

If the tender is unsuccessful they will keep all donations for the next bit of land that comes up

#LandBack. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy it back and help recreate a hub for our Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia people.

(information has been copied from @/amscraig on twitter, who is a member of the iwi attempting to reclaim their land)

it is so disappointing that this is the only option to reclaim illegally stolen land for the iwi, but the government wont work towards settlement with many iwi so we have no other choice

if you have any money avaliable to donate please do, anything would be appreciated!

Unwhitewash Star Wars: The Bad Batch #UnwhitewashTBB

We the undersigned are Star Wars fans reaching out due to our deep concerns with the new series, Star Wars: The Bad Batch. We feel that elements of the show, including many character models and aspects of the writing, are alienating and harmful to fans of color.

I want to talk about one of the greatest luxuries white people enjoy, without even realizing they have this. To never have to think about racism. I'm not saying some white people don't consider their impact or their role in white supremacy. I'm saying that the luxury they have is never being required to think about racism. They don't HAVE to. They don't live with it. It doesn't have a negative effect on their lives. In fact, the racist systems this country is built on actively help white people.

People of color, especially black people, have to think about racism constantly. It's woven into the fabric of our entire lives. Every interaction with white people runs past that filter. And you'd be shocked how much racism we catch that we simply never comment on, at work, at school, even with our friends. I have a lot of white friends. And yes, they do and say racist things, or don't speak against racist things, maintaining the racist status quo with white-serving white silence. And they never have to consider those actions. They never have to consider their impact. What an incredible luxury, to exist in a world where you can decide whether racism exists, or not. What a gift to live free of that heavy burden that so many of us find chained to our backs.

White people can, and should reblog this, just mind yourselves in the notes.

I know most of us are struggling right now, because life in the United States as a poor person is hell, but even though Texas is reopening I'm still going to be out of work. Which on one hand I'm thankful for because it's safer, but on the other hand I am devastatingly poor.

My rent and other utilities haven't been put on hold, I didn't qualify for the stimulus check, and my unemployment application still has yet to process. The relief program through my work never actually paid me anything, and they have been withholding my paychecks.

I'm a woman, I'm bisexual, I'm half Native American, and I'm scared. If you can spare me anything, I'd really appreciate it. But if you can't, please don't feel guilty. We're all struggling, but I just don't know what else to do.
