wearing all black today to mourn the death of my motivation.
So. Regarding Palestine (post-1948 Gaza, “israel” and the west bank if you look at a map) and israel. Britain decided in 1917 that it’ll make Palestine a home for zionist jews (jews who believe God said Palestine is their promised land) and Balfour’s declaration was born. Some people keep insisting palestine never existed but im taking this right from the enemy, look at the picture. It says Palestine like twice so obviously it’s a productive country with it’s own people living peacefully and everything’s good, until the west puts it’s hands on it, am i right?
fast forward to 1948 and the occupiers displace at gunpoint more than half the palestinian population from palestine (Palestinian Exodus) (my grandparents included) and they massacre so much. Then they call 15 may 1948 the israeli “independence” day, how ironic. That’s when the state of israel was made and 70 years later, they’re still doing the same dirty shit they did even in the West Bank which is supposed to be Palestinian territory as if the whole entire israel isn’t. Israelis even stole Golan Heights from Syria and they invaded and killed 762–3,500 in Southern Lebanon, according to wikipedia, trying to kill the Palestinian Liberation Organization members. Today in the West Bank, the Israeli Defense Forces are breaking into Palestinian houses and telling them to get out, israelis will live here now (17 mins), with no precedent notice (internatonally illegal and condemned settlements obviously).
They CAN do all this because they had the support of Britain which had so much power back then obviously and now America which is a mighty power. Who couldn’t when your mom and dad are so powerful?! (see for example the $38 billion they just gave them away for the israeli military in 2016 alone.) (Or how they recently “announced” Jerusalem, the capital, to be the capital of israel. LOL who the heck are you.)
When you see palestinians in the news protesting with rocks in the gazian border, this is why, because their life is shit and because Gaza is literally an open air prison! They can’t move out of Gaza! Israel recently (05/18) almost shot an unarmed flotilla heading to Cyprus to get medical treatment for 25 patients and didn’t grant them permission to do that. There’s walls between Gaza and israel and the west bank and israel (pics of pretty graffiti), walls like trump wanted to build by mexican borders.
Some people say it’s muslims causing problems again but it has nothing to do with islam, we just happen to be a majority muslim population. Palestinian christians say the exact same shit I’m saying, that israel is an occupation. Watch this (less than 4 mins long video of palestinian christians talking about occupation).
It’s infuriating when they don’t recognize your belonging to your land, where your ancestors lived for thousands of years, where people who just landed here last night from America or countries in Europe or Africa are given the israeli nationality and called owners of the land just because they’re jewish. When you look at a map, and the name of your country is wrong, and the cities’ and villages’ names are in a colonizer’s fucking language!
Fun links are 1. pre-invasion ADs for flights from Denmark to Palestine, 2. proof of christians and muslims getting along (less than 2 mins) (christians couldn’t decide on who to keep the key for Holy Sepurche, they entrust it to muslims, and it’s been 800 years) 3. israelis illegally keeping child prisoners for throwing stones at their huge ass tanks and rifles (2 mins) 4. palestinian flags in pride march in chicago 5. their nuclear bombs! and I haven’t even begun to tell you about this israeli curse. Hope you hate israel and want palestine free now! xoxo
tldr; Israel is nothing but a 21st century invasion, a colonization, an occupation on the palestinians in their own country. And they can get away with it thanks to America.
Eid Mubarak!
Happy Eid to all Muslims around the world! I hope you all slay with your amazing Eid clothes that you spent weeks picking, hope you receive a lot of money and be rich, may you have a blessed and joyful Eid, well spent with family, friends, and loved ones.
And Happy Eid to those without families, to those who can’t celebrate it for personal reasons, to those who try to celebrate it despite dealing with mental/physical illness. Happy Eid to who are living in a state of war. Happy Eid to those who live in a country that doesn’t celebrate Eid. And Happy Eid to every Muslim no matter who and where you are. Have a blessed Eid!

A story in three parts! BBC deletes original headline about the Israeli airstrike that killed a pregnant mother and her baby girl following Israeli pressure and outcry over the BBC’s honest reporting first time around.
Oh, fuck all of you. Gaza fired more than 80 rockets into Israel first. Why is it that every country but Israel is allowed to defend itself? I’m so sick of this hysteria. None of you ever look at this conflict with any nuance. Here’s the actual story: https://globalnews.ca/news/4377943/gaza-rockets-israel-air-strikes/
You’re right.
Which is entirely why the headline is blatant misinformation about who killed the mother and child.
More acceptable headlines:
“Mother and child dead in anti terrorist strike in Gaza”
“Two dead in strike against terrorists”
“Collateral damage in Gaza kills mother and child”
“Two civilians dead in self-defense strike against Gaza.”
Or, best of all:
“Israeli air strikes kill mother and child after rockets hit Israel.” If you want to get the whole story onto a headline.
If a country doesn’t like a story they should explain why it’s a bad story. Not directly and explicitly pressure the authors to change the story.
If you sincerely don’t see how a government pressuring news coverage to explicitly frame it in a way they want to then I really don’t know where to start those conversation.
There is no proof that the Israeli government pressured the BBC into changing anything. Are you seriously taking a fucking Tumblrina at face value? Especially one with a clear bias? Screenshots of tweets aren’t proof. They most likely changed their headline after realizing that it was misleading, like any respectable news outlet would do.
I would suggest educating yourself on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. You don’t seem to have the most nuanced grasp on it. This is probably the least biased source out there: https://israelipalestinian.procon.org/view.timeline.php?timelineID=000031#1900-1947
Also, Hamas runs Gaza. Just throwing that out there.
The MFA literally lodged official complaints with the BBC over the article. The screenshotted man is an Israeli journalist.
Not everyone who disagrees with you so stupid.
No matter what, that is not an excuse to kill a pregnant woman and her toddler. There is no fucking excuse to that. At least, admit your crimes for once instead of fighting the whole world to clear your ugly image. Fucking arrogant punks!
Bloodstains of the Palestinian pregnant mother, Enas Abu Khammash, and her daughter, Bayan, seen on the walls of their bedroom.
Enas, her 9-month-old foetus, and one and a half year old baby girl died immediately whereas the husband was rushed to the hospital after sustained severe injuries as a result of an Israeli missile that targeted their house last night.
OMG! 😢😖
Why do we have to be in the middle of a war. It is unfair. I don’t want to be in the middle of anyone war. All I want is to find a proper work, tell my dad you can rest now, hajji, it is my turn to provide for the family and I want to spoil the kids around me. I would buy them candy and stuff to see that smile on their precious little faces. But is it up to me to decide?! I HATE WAR!
Palestinian teenager Ahed Tamimi and her mother freed after eight months in Israeli prison. [an hour ago]
Ahed Tamimi, a teenage girl, was arrested for 8 months because she hit an Israeli soldier after he shot her kid cousin in the head with a rubber-coated bullet. This is a human rights violation, plain and simple. The Israel-Palestinian conflict is not one with a clear-cut solution, but we have to recognize that a large part of the conflict is a direct result of the inhumane and inconsiderate way that Israel treats the Palestinians. The conflict between the two will NEVER be solved if the Israeli government continues to endorse continuous human rights violations against the Palestinians.
hugging is the silent way of saying “you matter to me”
Keke airy fiki!
LOL
Y'all if this is not a child abuse, then I do not know what the hell child abuse is? [ Israeli occupation forces detaining a 13-year-old Palestinian child ]
Why do they need two armed adults to arrest a child?
there’s another child in the background, too. Cowards.
The capital of Israel is Jahanam

“You are the true heroes.” Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has a message for Syrian children.
Israeli Occupation Forces destroying the Christmas tree in Occupied Jerusalem at dawn the other day, stealing pictures hung as decorations.
They must be so proud of themselves, that’s what conscientious brave young Zionists do. Christmas spirit eh?
These Santas were tear-gassed by Israeli forces for trying to get into Jerusalem.
How can I get I to Palestine safely to help?
I hope someone with experience reads this and answer your question. I haven’t left Gaza Strip before in whole my life, but I think you would be safe to come to Palestine. Welcome, buddy!
Okay so I am a diasporic Palestinian (meaning I don’t live there. My family is mostly in the states). There is a few things to consider if you want to go and help.
(1) Can you travel there? If you have citizenship in certain countries you can only enter Palestine through Jordan. It is a gross and hard way to travel and I advise to avoid it if you can. This method only allows you to go to the West Bank.
You can attempt to go to Gaza through Egypt BUT for gods sake don’t even try, way too many things can go terribly wrong and that border is almost always closed.
I recommend you fly into Israel (I go to Tel Aviv airport cause its fairly close to Ramallah). Now this does not come without problems either. If you are Arab, look Arab, have an Arab name, or even just look like a POC in general, you will be questioned and this questioning can be intense. As a Palestinian, its worse for me because they make me recall my entire family tree, but no matter what being questioned sucks and can take hours. Also delete, hide, and privatize any support for Palestine or BDS from your phone and social media before you go. You will be sent back for that.
(2) How can you help? Helping can mean lots of things, but going by yourself can make any of that really hard to do in a foreign country. I recommend you go with a group (every summer there is trips to Palestine from groups like BLM and others). Always check out the group and consider the implications of going with them because many are hella Zionist.
Know that helping in the West Bank and helping in Gaza are incredibly different. Even as a US citizen, it is near impossible for me to enter Gaza. Even doctors without borders has to sneak in.
(3) Can you help in your home country? For many of us, we can. In the US, there are organizations like Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voices for Peace (JVP) that advocate for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS). Many other Western countries have there own versions of this and I recommend you look up and educate yourself on BDS because it is currently making great strides.
You can message me/ tag me if you have any questions about any of this. Good luck!
Hopefully, you all [who consider travelling to Palestine] find this helpful. Contact @mintendo96 for further questions.
HELP ME RAISE MONEY FOR GAZA
Salaam/Hello, I am going to be taking part in a fundraising event for Gaza, where I will be walking from 10am to I believe 3pm - of course this isn’t about me as walking does not taking much strength from a person, however this is important as it is raising money for the innocent children, women and men of Gaza, where everyday they are being oppressed, harmed and killed. just because it is no longer shown on the news it does not mean its not longer happening. with this being said I would really appreciate if you could donate and help me reach my goal of at least £150.
may Allah (swt) bless you.

The Israeli Prime Minister called to ban the Adhan, so this ‘Arab-Israeli’ Palestinian MP decides to ignore him and gave the Adhan in Parliament instead
