Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?

This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:

BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/

Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/

Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel

Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one

You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them

Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture

If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already

Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything

Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything

See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.

Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare

KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.

Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.

Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.

If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.

i saw a video the other day detailing why we see so much about gaza🇵🇸 but not sudan🇸🇩

it comes down to these 3 key differences

while gaza is much bloodier, gaza has journalists reporting daily. as a journalist you will be targeted viciously but it's a delayed risk because the enemy isn't on ground. your enemies are cowards who plot and kill you from afar.

in sudan it's impossible to report anything because the enemy is walking down your street (if not in your house) like rabid dogs. you will be shot on sight. it's an immediate risk. there is no time to capture or comment on anything. whatever information you put out will be your first and last.

in sudan, the updates come from the warring factions filming themselves, not from civilians. and you can imagine the bias and inaccuracy of their egotistical daily vlogs and official statements.

which is why it's more imperative than ever to follow Sudanese creators and journalists who do report on the little information that does come out.

here's a post on where to get daily updates about Sudan

disclaimer: palestinian press also deal with immediate risks when confronted with IDF on-ground.

White woman tears are SO dangerous

[daddyisatitlenotagender]

Those tears sent conservatives on a rampage against Imane. They sent tranphobes into a frenzy about policing women’s bodies. All of a sudden the argument that women are people who can get pregnant or have female sex organs was out the door. All of a sudden everyone believed because of the testosterone in her body, she must be a man. Those tears cause so many people to misgender Imane on a global scale. Media was put out that said she was intersex when she’s never identified that way. There was a huge smear campaign that took place because a white woman couldn’t beat Imane. Because a white woman with a HISTORY of faking injuries and backing out of fights cried that the fight was unjust. Someone who chose to do a physical sport in the OLYMPICS, where she couldn’t take a hit from her opponent. White woman tears were used violently and strategically against a woman of color who was rightfully fighting in the Olympics. Someone who has fought against Imane basically said that the Italian boxer has a skill issue.

[singinginthecar]

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?

[el-shab-hussein]

The same reason they didn't ban the U.S. or Britain or France or Canada or Australia from competing while they were pillaging Iraq and Afghanistan with unspeakable brutality. The zionist occupation isn't like any other country except those I just listed. The zionist occupation is the 51st state and benefits from all the immunities the U.S. does.

by the way this is the procedure to get out of gaza

it costs 5k USD per adult and 2.5k USD per child

if you want to raise this money via GOFUNDME it has to be arranged by someone who is NOT living in Palestine because GFM does not release money to Palestine. GFM also verifies every detail so it has to be accurate so you need someone who is out of Palestine and also familiar with the bureaucracy.

once you raise the money one of your FIRST ORDER RELATIVES have to deposit this money IN CASH and IN PERSON at the Cairo offices of a company called hala. this person cannot be a Palestinian male under 40 because they are not allowed to be Egypt without a permit

once you pay the money you have to WAIT for your names to be published by Egyptian military at the Rafah crossing and the you have 24 hours to get out

it is a very long and convoluted process that is impossible for most Palestinians who do not have contacts in other counties. Please please donate to the GFMs you see floating around because they’ve been verified and this is only the first step in an arduous journey. Once in Cairo, Palestinians aren’t allowed to work so they need money for their support also.

"Long live the resistance."

"All zionists are bastards."

"Hamas is coming."

"zionists go to hell."

Flags of the settler state burnt, flags of the resistance raised.

Everyone is talking about John Fetterman wearing a formal suit for Netanyahu’s genocide apologia but Rashida Tlaib is actually the only one wearing an acceptable outfit to the speech.

[bookskittychad-deactivated20260]

The way you people talk about genocide as if it wasn't a big deal whatsoever, And that it's totally okay to sacrifice the blood of palestinians so y'all can stay comfortable and safe in the Us, And the way y'all are harassing palestinians for being unwilling to vote for someone who's killing hundreds of thousands of their people, Is completely and utterly disgusting. And incredibly racist.

An Oxfam report, entitled Water War Crimes, finds that Israel's deliberate reduction of water access in Gaza has put civilians at under a third of the recommended minimum

Israel's cutting of the external water supply, systematic destruction of water facilities and deliberate aid obstruction have reduced the amount of water avallable in Gaza by 94%, to 4.74 liters a day per person, says Oxtam. This information has to be coupled with the fact that 97% of Gaza's water was already considered undrinkable prior to the beginning of the war in October, meaning that much of the water that people do have access to is untreated and is causing a range of health problems, including a variety of diseases.

Read the news about how ziad bassiouny (the 20 year old student who has been detained along with another one because he and his friends tried to establish a student movement in solidarity with Palestine, and it is probably connected to how his father used to be the secretary general of el karama party) is finally out of prison, great news... followed directly by news about a girl who went to give her imprisoned brother some things during the visitation time and they refused to let her in with them so she went to return what she brought to the car and got hit by another car and died, alone, almost in the desert.. on the road.. her brother kept waiting for her to appear and she didn't..

I guess I should sleep but I'm thinking about that girl, about the prisoners who started a hunger strike.. I don't even know why I am writing this post, in a foreign language I don't speak well, to no one, this is supposed to be the app where i post worthless complaints about silly things but it keeps turning into a despair corner

Five Palestinian journalists killed by Israel in Gaza in under 12 hours.

Their names are:

Amjad Jahjouh

Wafa Abu Dabaan

Rizq Abu Shakian

Saadi Madoukh

Ahmed Sukkar

Palestinians are not voiceless, they are actively being silenced.

A total of 158 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israel just in the past 9 months in Gaza, for the crime of exposing Israel as the genocidal entity that it is.
