Rip to everyone on this site who didn't realise they were following sleeper dragon age fans. The fandom is awakening from its deep slumber.

Nothing to see here; just a pair of narrative foils

"We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness and the Holocaust being used as justification for an occupation.”

The filmmakers behind The Zone of Interest, a brilliant and very necessary film that utilises jarring, disturbing sound design to show a contrast of the every-day, mundane domesticity of a family living next to a Nazi concentration camp. Many interpret this film as a commentary piece on how we live out the comfortability of our lives, holding intentional ignorance to the horrors that millions of lives endure; a commentary of ignorance, holding the viewer accountable.

Every single one of the 13,000+ children murdered by Israel was robbed of their futures

[maru-illo]

“In what has been described as a "humanitarian aid ambush", Israel's tanks targeted thousands of hungry people this morning in northern Gaza, killing at least 150 and wounding 1000 others.

Israeli snipers also targeted everyone, who attempted to reach flour bags and continue to target those who try to reach casualties.”

They fucking used aid as bait to kill starving, emaciated, malnourished Palestineans.

45 kids have died from starvation so far

Babies dying of acute malnutrition and people barely have the energy to survive

"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.

An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!

"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!

thank god i'm palestinian. thank god i was born palestinian. thank god i was raised palestinian. thank god i grew up eating palestinian food. thank god i grew up wearing palestinian clothes. thank god i was raised in palestinian culture. thank god i have palestinian citizenship. thank god i love palestine. thank god palestine will be free. i wouldn't want it any other way.

i wouldn't trade being palestinian for anything in this life. yes, being palestinian is linked to our suffering as indigenous people under settler colonial occupation. yes, being palestinian is knowing hardship, pain, suffering, and trauma. yes, being palestinian is being exiled from our land, and watching all our loved ones die around us. but being palestinian is not something i would EVER not want to be. i love being palestinian and would never give up being palestinian to be anything else. my identity is palestinian first and foremost. everything else comes second. and i wouldn't want it any other way. انا دمي فلسطيني 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️

everyone in palestine is disabled btw. if not by physical disability then by debilitating trauma that WILL develop into ptsd (bc lbr they’re not even in the POST traumatic event stage. they’re suffering complex trauma that WILL Cause ptsd or Cptsd). this is a disabled rights issue. if they werent disabled before they are now! theres also so many palestinians with pre existing disabilities who have to go without treatment, meds, mobility aids, support… there are autistic palestinians as well! and palestinians with down syndrome! and palestinians with bipolar, schizophrenia, etc who probably haven’t had access to meds in MONTHS. imagine having untreated schizophrenia and being in an active war zone

there are palestinians who were disabled before the genocide, there are palestinians who became disabled during, and more are to come if something is not done and thats just the physical conditions. this is a human issue, a feminist issue, a disabled issue. everyone should be mad

ceasefire now
