do not stop talking about Palestine!
there are Shut It Down For Palestine actions planned for Friday, look for one in your area if you can. they're not all registered on the Shut It Down website, so check social media as well as their list.
losing my mind over this. are you attending the march that the government is actively opposing? where do you live? upload a picture of yourself.
(Nov. 7)
@Shepherds4Good: Palestinian children in Gaza hold a press conference outside Al Shifa hospital, speaking English so the world cannot pretend not to understand them: “We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace… we want to live as the other children live.”
you can click on this button once daily to help palestine and support other causes in the middle east for free. it takes literally 5 seconds and could help save lives so please take the time to click and share this link.
jewishvoiceforpeace: This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
We demand a ceasefire now to save lives. To stop a genocide. The Israeli military has already erased 47 entire Palestinian families from Gaza's population registry; all members of the family, from all generations, are dead. This is loss beyond measure.
The U.S. is also responsible for this horror. 80% of the bombs that the Israeli military drops on Gaza, that are used to kill these children, are American-made. We are called to do everything we can to stop this genocide.
As we continue to demand a ceasefire and fight for a future where everyone is free and equal and safe, we refuse to forget these lives. We will always affirm that every life is precious.
Every single one of these deaths was preventable. When we say Never Again-for anyone, this is who we mean. Never Again is right now.

So, Israel cut off power to the entire Gaza strip, people are being fired from their jobs for supporting Palestine, Israel have been targetting ambulances and hospitals, Israel have used white phosphorus bombardments, protestors around the world are being arrested and attacked for showing up for Palestine, the UK government deem that being Pro-Palestine constitutes to being “Pro Hamas” and therefore a terrorist threat, the Western Governments (UN) have supplied BILLIONS in financial aid to the State of Israel whilst leaving their people in a cost of living crisis, Israeli rockets landed in Egypt and injured civilians there, the US Army had jets bomb eastern Syria and it’s reported that Israel are planning to flood Gaza with internationally forbidden nerve gas.
What part of any of this is excusable, justifiable and humane? What more should it take for people to open their eyes and see that this is a genocide, that Israel is a colonial apartheid regime?
Free Palestine, ceasefire NOW.
"what about gay rights in palestine" "what about womens rights in palestine" idk maybe they can work on that once they get Being Alive In Their Homes Rights

Eye on Palestine
It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire
US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine

I’ve been waiting since March to post this...
UK petition: Call an immediate general election
[ Sign here ]
The Prime Minister should call an immediate general election to allow the British public to have their say on how we are governed, we should not be made to wait until January 2025 Consistent opinion polling has shown the British public have lost confidence in the current government. The NHS is in crisis, the asylum system is broken, there are delays at the ports, and institutions are failing. The British people should be given a say on what to do next.
Deadline: 4 February 2024
Signatures: 12,653 of the 100,000 needed for a discussion in parliament (as of 4th Oct 2023, at the time of writing this!)

This is deadass the fastest-growing petition I’ve ever seen
It's at over 100k which means parliament has to debate this. It's not gonna happen because an election would put like half the tories out of a job but it's still a v. good message
Don't forget to bully your local MP over this as well, especially if they're a tory.
You can use this template but you need to include your address as well as your name or they will just not read it.
Hello, I have signed a petition to call an immediate general election as I believe that the Prime Minister should call an immediate general election. As my local member of parlement, I want to know what you can do to allow the British public to have their say on how we are governed, we should not be made to wait until January 2025. Kind regards,
Signatures looking great:
And some excellent commentary here too.
I will add that there's a very handy website, WriteToThem.com. You put your postcode in, and it tells you who your MP is and then gives you a form to fill in that sends them an email. It makes the process very easy, I highly recommend!

Hey gang, the British prime minister was just openly and explicitly transphobic at a party conference. I’m so so sorry to all my trans friends, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling right now. We are living under a bigoted, unelected, undemocratic regime that does not share the views of the people they claim to represent. The majority of the UK population does support you, I promise.
ARE YOU SHITTING ME
Happy Birthday Snoopy!
