I want to talk about Israel and Palestine.
Because I'm writing a fanfic with a Mizrahi Jewish OC (Midianna). It feels not only inconsiderate but also hypocritical to take a back seat in this situation as a human but also as an author writing with characters of these ethnicities. I try to keep politics out of my post on here as this is solely a fanfic and fanart blog and I have a more personal blog and other such accounts on other websites to be spreading important information on.
However, I stand with Palestine, both in regard to the people my OC represents, and also as someone of oppressed and colonised lineage. I am both Irish and Welsh in close descent (my Grandad is half Irish and Welsh). Moreover, because I am a human being, I stand against the colonisation of land and the ethnic cleansing and genocide of people and faith.
This is not a time to be Antisemitic, nor is it a time for Islamophobia or any other kind of Xenophobia, and I am not being so at this moment, Jewish people (Ethnic or religious) and Zionists are not the same things, I stand with and support Jewish people from the hatred, violence and oppression they deal with today and in the past. I stand against Zionists and their brutal government, and I know I'm not well-known, I'm not trying to be, but I need to make this stand and make myself clear.
I do not and will not support Israel's actions against Palestine.
I am still keeping tabs on the situation, and doing research and I pray and implore you to do the same until it is over. If you cannot handle the information you are receiving in the moment, save it and go back to it when you are mentally prepared to take it in properly. But do not procrastinate in this endeavour, people's lives cannot afford to be ended because of procrastination.
I may not update much on here about the information I am learning and the news I am listening to but I am on my TikTok, I intend to spread awareness and stop Western, fascist and colonialist propaganda from influencing the minds of people who enjoy my content.
If you are any of those things: a fascist, a colonialist, or a zionist, (Or a supporter of any) I implore you to leave my blog, or stay and learn and listen to any victims of such who may want to spread and share their stories via this post. I will not tolerate your hate and will not be gentle or respectful if you harass people searching for a safe space and a moment of respite to spread the news they have via my blog and post on this incredibly traumatising (for the people of Palestine more than anyone) topic.
For those who wish to give me any research material or more/better information outlets to keep tabs on, I am an open mind and an empty canvas, I will listen to your words and be as diligent as I can be in this situation to help and aid where I can.
