The Guardian’s article about Daniel Raab saying he didn’t understand why a Palestinian boy would run to his brother’s body and didn’t even care as he shot both him and their father dead has triggered a nausea that I haven’t been able to shake off since this morning. Literal Nazi mentality.

I mean, it’s not like I thought the genocide was in anyway justified. It’s not like I thought that behind each civilian death there was a specific reason - but the flippancy. This boy saying “lmao he was the first target I killed”, him not being able to realise that a Palestinian boy running to his brother’s body was an act of love and not an effort to try and retrieve something out of his clothes, the process of dehumanisation being so final that he can calmly state that two brothers and their father were killed because they walked over an imaginary line they weren’t even aware of, and that their cousin/nephew was struck for the same reason and survived by mistake.

There is no peace achievable with these people.

This is one of the most important articles I’ve read as of late. It’s vile, it’s disgusting. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

reject the western gaze!

mutual aid means no hierarchy between givers and receivers

a new mutual aid org, Bridge of Solidarity, has been established in the gaza strip by 17 year old poet yazan mohammed in response to the exploitative practices conducted by some charities and encouraged by the existing charity-based model of fundraising for gaza. according to BoS: "the western attention economy and pity economy plays a large role in who lives or dies in gaza." essentially, people need to make themselves marketable in order to receive lifesaving aid; people who are not marketable die. yazan himself wrote about the damage this can do to one's self image, which you can read here.

after trying for a year to respect his own privacy, my friend siraj was also pressured into posting images of his son's emaciated body in order to gain sympathy from westerners.

we cannot keep forcing people to do this anymore.

here's a declaration of their values from bridge of solidarity's most recent post:

Our organization is against the Western gaze. We refuse to humiliate people. We refuse to force people to take photos. We refuse to force people to take photos with our flyer or logo. People will receive aid freely without being forced to pose. We will respect people's privacy completely. Our principles include autonomy, dignity, sovereignty, mutual respect, and mutual aid.

this org will prioritize giving aid to people without phones or social media, who do not speak english, and who do not have outside support or living parents. these are the people who are not palatable to westerners but who deserve to live with as much dignity as everyone else

as of five days ago, BoS are working on a water truck delivery

your mistake is thinking healing will always feel good, and not often like molting while clung to dead tree bark
