Insane to me that the UK government is slowly trying to legislate trans people out of existence and I have not seen a single person talk about it

[thekidsfromyestergay]

Single sex toilets are now legally required in all new buildings, the cass review may lead to a complete shutdown of all trans healthcare, single sex wards are being introduced to HOSPITALS and claims that trans people will be treated in private rooms is almost laughable given the current bed shortages, ensuring that trans people will be forced to wait even longer for life-saving procedures. Trans teenagers are being murdered and the government does not care. We are slowly being driven out of all public spaces and all healthcare.

I want to make sure everyone actually understands the severity of this.

When we say that 1.4 million people in Rafah have nowhere to go we are also talking about how Israel had taken over Rafah crossing, which is the sole access point for Gazans, preventing the movement of people and goods as a result.

For the past 7 months you've heard of famine and witnessed infants dying of severe dehydration. This is only going to exacerbate now that the only source of the already scarce resources of food and water is completely shut down.

For the past 7 months you have seen how many people Israel's weapons have severely injured and maimed and how the only remaining cancer hospital was also taken over by Israel. The situation of these people who are injured and sick is only going to get worse because despite them obtaining permits to leave Gaza for treatment, there is no way out anymore.

For the past 7 months you have seen countless people crowdfunding to evacuate their families and flee genocide. None of these efforts are going to go anywhere and no one would be allowed out of Gaza for the foreseeable future, while Israel goes on with its barbaric mission of attempting to annihilate the people of Gaza.

Absolutely no access. Everyone is trapped. Nowhere to go.

Eyes on Rafah.

The Israeli occupation has a line of tanks around the Egyptian boarder which is the only means of evacuation for Palestinians. This blocked border also means there is no way for humanitarian aid to enter. 1.5 million are in Rafah which is being currently targeted and carpet bombed by Israel. There is no safe place anywhere in the Gaza Strip, they have nowhere to go. Again, 1.5 million are stuck in Rafah, living in tents and trapped.

It had been 216 days of this genocide. Israel refuses to agree to any ceasefire deal, and over 34,500 Palestinians killed.

Keep all eyes on Rafah. Eyes on Palestine.

They've nearly reached their goal‼️ Right now, they have enough for Alaa's wife & their children to evacuate but they need money for the rest of their family including his mother, so PLEASE DONATE if you can:

[faerieemetal]

may everybody who supported this genocide, actively partook in it, mocked and celebrated the mass slaughter of palestinian men, women, and children never know peace in life or in death. never forget their crimes and how world leaders continued to let it happen.

[tamarrud]

it's so fucking frustrating how the west only cares about the wicked things israel has done to the volunteers in the recent attack because they're not arab. if they were arab this wouldn't make it to the mainstream media

Yes of course and not to downplay the crime of targeting and killing these aid workers, it bears repeating that this has been done by Israel for years and years. This genocide has changed the stance of a lot of people who have been indifferent about Palestine in the past because of the level of the violence and the fact that it is televised. With that, this crime definitely made a lot more people start to see Israel for what it truly is since it now showed everyone that it will indiscriminately target anyone that stands in its way.

[bloglikeanegyptian]

the way the war in gaza has been constantly about targeting flour, targeting hospitals, targeting universities, targeting water containers, targeting anything that brings life in order to "thin out the population" and "encourage palestinians to move to tent cities in egypt"

and then you have western media readily calling it a "humanitarian crisis" therefore fulfilling israel's goal of manufacturing a humanitarian crisis. this entire war was with the purpose of collectively punishing a civilian population of 50% children. that's why it was immediately understood and labelled as a genocide by multiple genoide scholars, by the lemkin institute, and is currently on trial for genocide at the hague

like the starvation and the blocking of aid and the dropping of parachuted MREs to just barely salvage the reputation of a few politicians is not a byproduct of the war. it's not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. acquiescing to israelis blocking aid by building ports and dropping pallets of food means acquiescing to famine as a strategy instead of trying to stop it. famine is not collateral damage, it is a central pillar of genocide. killing children is not collateral damage. it is a central pillar of the genocide. we don't need hindsight to say this plainly, anyone who denies it now is another pillar of genocide.

ISRAEL are currently attacking Al-Shifa Medical Complex in GAZA.. Families, Patients and displaced Palestinian people at the Hospital are fleeing Al-Shifa on foot as Israeli warplanes attack the hospital.

A fire broke out on the upper floor of the hospital, it’s reported that there are dozens of casualties and civilians are being forced to evacuate under heavy gunfire.

I will make a more detailed post in a bit but the organization Anera has announced they have resumed aid delivery to north Gaza. Please consider donating to them, they have worked on the ground in Gaza for decades and they provide emergency aid as well as have many wonderful long-term programs.

🍉🇵🇸 A thorough FAQ and purchasing guide for eSims for Gaza 🇵🇸🍉

This document contains information about the eSims for Gaza initiative, answers to common questions, a constantly updated list of which eSims Connecting Humanity is currently calling for, and screenreader-accessible instructions on how to buy an eSim, find and send its QR code, see data usage, and top up the plan, for every app and every desktop site.

To my knowledge this is the only guide of its kind. Other guides are not screenreader-accessible, only include information about one or two apps, don't include information about topping up, don't include screenshots, or are out of date.

tinyurl.com/gaza-esims

Include this url and/or one of these QR codes on brochures, pamphlets, flyers, and protest signs informing people about eSims for Gaza. Make sure this initiative is accessible and understandable to as many people as possible.

Petition: Immediately revoke all licences for arms exports to Israel

The UK is complicit in arming Israel, and many regard Israel to be committing war crimes.

‼️ please sign if you're in the UK ‼️

i know government petitions don't change anything a lot of the time but! at the very least if it gets to 10,000 they have to reply & at 100,000 they have to debate it in parliament so!!

[mortalityplays]

I know you have all probably seen the esims for gaza posts circulating. Some of you have probably looked at them and thought maybe you should help out, but have weighed up the daunting process of signing up for something you're unfamiliar with vs. the gut-wrenching scale of the things people are going through on the ground right now, and you've put it off or questioned whether it will make enough of a difference vs. some other future kind of activism you could put that $6+ towards. I'm not calling you out or scolding you, it is natural to feel conflicted and ambivalent about the multiple calls for aid that you are seeing on social media.

but consider this: what would you do if you suddenly had to leave your home? how would you cope? how would you begin to plan where to go next, or figure out what to do to take care of yourself? most likely you would reach reflexively for your phone.

telecoms access is not a petty luxury in 2024. a loaded esim means the ability to call family members and find out where they are and whether they're safe, and whether they need anything you can provide for them. it means access to maps and regular updates on the situation unfolding around you. it means you can look up whether it's safe to drink rain water, or how to tie a type of knot you've never had to think about before, or how to treat an injury without medical supplies. it means the ability to tell people outside the situation what you are seeing, what you are feeling, what you are thinking. it is an absolutely crucial resource. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

many many people have observed that internet access is changing the way the world understands genocide. internet access is life or death, and it is shaping modern history in front of you. and it starts at $6 for 7 days.

please, please visit gazaesims.com and spend 5 minutes and $6 to change the way this plays out for everyone.

[mortalityplays]

this is a really critical material thing you can do for people right now, as palestinians including doctors, journalists, teachers and parents are in the midst of the longest telecoms blackout to date. phone and internet access in a humanitarian crisis is lifesaving.
