bisan's live video on her 2nd acc is piercing my heart

she started off expressing (in arabic) how sick she is of the constant sharing, photographing, capturing, having to speak english and how she wants to speak in her native tongue instead.

she explained that the leaflets that were dropped again are ordering evacuation to rafah so they are forced into the sinai, and how impossible it is for over 2 million people to go to an area that's only 151 square km, so many have no choice but to stay in khan younis. they are trapped and have no international passports. rafah is the southernmost point of palestine after khan younis and she said - this part in english - "after rafah there is no more palestine. if we are forced into rafah there is no more palestine."

someone asked her if she has eaten and whether they have any food, her response was no, not at all; one loaf of bread has to be divided between everyone in her camp.

the video kept freezing because of how bad the internet service is in gaza right now so i lost bits and pieces, but at some point an older woman joined the live, a journalist outside of the country. it's unclear whether they knew each other previously, but a lot of warmth was exchanged. the woman got tears out of bisan when she told her "dont listen to people who tell you to be strong, i don't want you to be strong, i want you to be you. if you are sad i want to know, if you are happy i want to know." she explained that she tried entering rafah but the occupation refuses to let any foreign journalists in anymore.

after the woman left, bisan talked about her life before october. she said her life was beautiful and fruitful and any source of strife was solely on israeli hands; namely her inability to travel or pursue placements for her education outside of palestine. other than that she had nothing to complain about. if im able to watch the video after it ends, i will add any pieces i missed

as far as i can tell in response to the proliferation of pro-palestinian content online and the clear on the ground support for palestinians worldwide there has been a BIG push by institutions and news networks to both stigmatize support for palestine and distract from the on-going genocide in gaza.

we're going to be seeing a lot of backlash in the coming few weeks now that israel is trying to push through its genocidal plan. manufacturing consent for genocide is a dirty game. stay focused. there are children dying in their thousands and they can't hide or justify it. in a few months all of this will go away and israel and the US will start their crying tour of "shoot and cry"

there is no question of how history will look back on this moment. we already know that and so do they. they also don't care. remorse is free and they know it. public mourning and statements of regrets are likely pre-written. if the public outcry wasn't significant, they wouldn't be going to these lengths to suppress it.

stay focused, keep the pressure up. there are children being killed, hospitals being bombed, schools being destroyed, land being razed, homes being looted, parents being kidnapped, civilians being terrorized every single moment this continues. none of this is normal. none of this is right. a few weeks ago a single hospital being bombed was a worldwide shock. now every hospital is being openly and brazenly targeted. this is what they're counting on and this is what we refuse to accept.

like you have these people who are so uncomfy when you call israel what it is, a jewish supremacist ethnostate, and it's not the palestinians' fault that it is a jewish ethnostate. then they have no qualms pouncing at the opportunity to call palestinian resistance terrorists, why are we expected to walk on eggshells while you call an indigenous population fighting for their emancipation barbaric, women raping, baby beheading savages lol

[hodgepodge-collage]

It’s not even, strictly speaking, a Jewish ethnostate— it’s an Ashkenazi ethnostate. The Mizrahi and the Ethiopian Jews get state-sponsored racism.

[el-shab-hussein]

Even the term 'Mizrahi' was invented by the ethnostate to homogenize the different Jewish cultures of the Arab world, and to pit them against the Ashkenazi

Invention of the Mizrahim

Israel invented the word Mizrahim to strip Arab Jews of their histories as they tried to do with Palestinians.

So when racists on Tumblr kept insisting that "You can't understand the centuries of history behind terms like Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi and you turn them into white VS. brown racial categories, you're being antisemitic" it was all bullsh*t and just a cover up for racism based in the zionist occupation's definition of what is and isn't a white person. You'd think an entire word meaning "Easterner" to designate "Oriental Jews" would essentially disqualify Ashkenazim as Indigenous considering they think actual Arab Jews to be from the 'East' that they're in the middle of. Everything about Israel is a scrambled attempt at creating a shared history and culture out of thin air.

[normal-thoughts-official]

It's also worth noting that, while Israel loves to claim that its existence is necessary to be a safe haven for persecuted Jews, the Jewish community in Nigeria is facing systemic persecution, including regular police raids and attacks with firearms to their synagogues, and yet Israel refuses to let them into the country and claims they aren't real Jews, despite the fact that they have a history of identifying with Judaism since the 18th century and practice the religion.

Which, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the color of their skin. Just like the Ethiopan women who were systemically sterelized without their knowledge or consent, or the thousands of "Mizrahim" children who simply disappeared, some of which were found later to have been adopted by Ashkenazim families. This practice, by the way, is legally and internationally defined as genocide. The "only democracy in the Middle East" has made all the investigations on this issue inaccessible until at least 2066, by the way.

When Israel says "Jewish", it really means Ashkenazi. Furthermore, it means white Ashkenazi, and only if they hold the "right" opinions. No one else can find a "safe haven" in Israel, they will only find more genocide, if they're graciously allowed to be let in at all. Denying that it's an ethnostate is just embarrassing at this point

okay so a ceasefire will happen soon, inshallah, but i just know the second it does, most of y'all will pack it up and go home. the world has proven time and time again that the second the violence "stops", then everyone forgets about us and then we just go back to suffering under the israeli occupation. you guys need to promise us, promise every single palestinian child in the world right now, that you will not stop fighting. that you will continue boycotting, you will continue protesting, you will continue disrupting the world until palestine is free. and then we'll do it again. and again and again and again and again. for sudan, for the congo, for everyone who is suffering right now.

you guys cant keep leaving us and forgetting about us once you've done "your part". it always happens, and we always go back to suffering. you need to stand with us until palestine is completely free. until we have our land back, until we can rebuild our homes, until we can drink clean water and breathe clean air, until our children grow up never having to face a horror like the nakba ever again. you need to stay fighting until we are all free forever.

tumblr trying to be like tiktok then trying to be like twitter then giving us the 3rd unreality inducing immersive ad, its staff members being condescending to the userbase, the marketing team trying to parasocialize their way into your pockets, youtube trying to do away with adblockers after upping the percentage of ads by 40% and making it so even if your video is demonetized watchers will still get them, youtube removing the dislike button then making it so you don't get a home feed if you have watch history turned off, google being able to remove your synched bookmarks if they don't comply with their policy, if i listed every way in which twitter has gotten worse in the last year this post will be as long as a novel, ai generated articles and images everywhere, google searches sucking ass in general, reddit charging for its api, KOSA being introduced into the US senate, tiktok in general, every social media under the fucking sun introducing log in walls, being unable to browse most sites on mobile from the sheer amount of popups taking over your screen WAUUUGH social media being products and thus requiring infinite growth and thus trying to introduce newer and newer shit that alienates its dedicated userbase. saturated sludge era of the internet
