The thing is... Israel admitted to this from the very beginning.

They said the confessions were obtained through 'interrogation' in the Shin Bet aka torture (Shin Bet is where they like to torture Palestinian prisoners for intel) so every country that cut funding to the UNRWA knew from the beginning that Israel was using false forced statements.

The famine in Gaza is partly due to this. Never forget that.

🇵🇸 From Friends of Al-Aqsa (FOA):

This Ramadan make sure you’re not breaking your fast with the taste of apartheid. All you need to do is check the label to avoid buying dates from apartheid Israel. This includes dates labelled from Israel, the West Bank and the Jordan Valley or if the country of origin is not shown. Ramadan is a time of reflection and self-improvement. During this month we are more conscious of our actions and how they affect others. Israel is the world’s largest producer of Medjoul dates. Let's be conscious of not buying dates that support Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine and apartheid regime. * Major UK supermarkets like ASDA, Tesco, Iceland and Waitrose all sell dates from apartheid Israel as well as local grocery stores * The UK is the second-biggest importer of Israeli dates in Europe 50% of Israeli dates are exported to Europe, where the UK, Netherlands, France, Spain and Italy import huge quantities of the dried fruit. In 2020 the UK imported over 3000 tonnes of dates from Israel, worth roughly 7.5 million pounds. There are two peaks of date consumption in Europe. One is during the month of Ramadan and the other is during New Year’s Eve and Christmas. Boycotting Israeli dates in Ramadan is a concerted community effort that can show we are not powerless. It would be brilliant to see all Israeli dates still left on shelves across the UK and Europe at the end of the blessed month. This would reflect our strength as a community to stand together with a very important message: We will not support the oppression of Palestinians and we will not be complicit in Israeli apartheid. So, this Ramadan #CheckTheLabel and boycott Israeli dates.

With Ramadan approaching, please consider sharing!

If you're in the UK, they also have leaflets available for order on their webpage. These tie into their upcoming campaign #CheckTheLabel, with a national day of action on the 16th of February.

Again, check their webpage for more info.

All Eyes On Rafah tonignt. Do not let the Oscars distract anyone from the genocide. Big international events like this are a time for atrocities to be committed when the world is looking the other way. I hope those who speak during the ceremony think to mention Palestine in their speeches. I would. No justice, no peace. Zionists should be uncomfortable everywhere. Good art was never a warm home to fascists and never will be

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

There's also a petition you can sign.

We really do need to bring back the word "trolling" and warning ppl not to feed the trolls

[shamebats]

That TikTok of ppl pouring tomato sauce directly on the counter, adding spaghetti & mixing it with their hands while commenting how great of an idea it is? Yeah, we used to call that trolling, it's pathetic & bc all they want from it is attention, the best thing is not to give them any. Block & move on.

I keep seeing it on here too. Someone comments something outrageous on a post & gets dozens of ppl to respond, filling the entire comment section & making it unusable. And on Instagram, a comment saying "I hate colors" on a post of someone showing off colorful art gets 100 replies while positive comments get none. Congrats, you've fed the troll. Now stop doing it.

[shamebats]

Trolling used to get you banned from forums. Now they call you an influencer and give you brand deals & ad revenue. That's why it's more important than ever not to feed the trolls, especially in spaces where any attention is good attention and getting yelled at by 10k ppl in the comments counts as "engagement", boosting your troll post in the algorithm.

[valtsv]

whenever someone in a story tells a character they're training to fight to treat their weapon like an extension of themselves i always feel like more weight should be put on that statement. on the implication that in learning to wield a weapon you must become it. you must make it a part of you. you must walk down a path from which you will never be able to come back from.

[valtsv]

weapons should mold to their wielders like grafts. great warriors should appear fused to their blades, and unbalanced - amputated - without them. their hands should be unsteady without the grip and weight of a killing instrument. there should be more body horror in the choice to take up arms.

there's something very uniquely evil in the fact that the food aid dropped to gazans by the US wasn't halal

[midijunkie-deactivated20250205]

if that strikes you as naive or nonsequitur, i want you to put yourself into the shoes of a palestinian in the gaza strip, suffering untold famine and trauma at the hands of israel and the US empire, living through a genocide of everyone you've known and loved.

now imagine that the only food that you can eat is food that violates your religious dietary restrictions, sent straight from the people who are supplying the bombs and guns for you to be killed.

is that not, too, a form of ethnic cleansing? of erasure?

[literally21]

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

I need us all to be aware and awake at all times. As elections approach you are going to see many misleading headlines, it hasn't gone unnoticed by those in power that the average usamerican at the very least sympathizes with the palestinian plight. Please put in the work of actually reading past headlines, of researching what is being done. Ask yourself: is it enough? why until now? can I expect them to keep on doing this once my vote has been cast? And again please, please spend more than two seconds reading a misleading headline.

I've seen this headline be passed around as a win. It is not.

Those two are not the same things. Kamala Harris is saying she wants a 'cease-fire' which implies a finality. A permanent end to this genocide, something potential voters are asking for. But she's actually proposing a 'pause' a six week pause. Don't let them fool you. Keep pushing.

[geiser]

Harris Calls for an ‘Immediate Cease-Fire’ in Gaza

The vice president urged Hamas to agree to a six-week cease-fire proposal and called on Israel to increase the flow of aid into the enclave.

On the literal same article they clearly state why they are doing it.

Opponents of the war and pro-Palestinian protesters have followed Mr. Biden to events across the country to protest his support for Israel in the war. Prominent Black faith leaders have called on the administration to halt financial assistance for Israel, alleging that its military campaign amounts to “mass genocide.” In perhaps the most glaring warning sign to date, more than 100,000 people, many of them Arab Americans, voted “uncommitted” in Michigan’s primary last week — a preview of what could unfold in other key swing states that helped elect Mr. Biden in 2020.

Keep pushing. They are genuinely getting scared of losing the election, but until permanent measures are taken we cannot take it as a win. Keep protesting, keep mobilizing, keep assisting Pro-Palestine events and events criticizing the Biden Administration. These are critical times, don't let go for even a minute.

Imagine having the kind of brain rot that makes you think people’s only problem with the unethical and exploitative true crime industry is that women enjoy it and we can’t have that

Hey wait, is that the same Ellen Mint who makes her money “writing” AI generated Jane Austen ripoffs? Hey, yeah! Hey fuck you!
