A little Child carries a white flag as he flees with his dad and sister from Israeli bombardment in gaza. The father asks him why are you holding it? The kid replies with: I don't know!!

Translation for their conversation:

- Where are you going? Are you scared?

= No!

- Why are you carrying a white flag?

= I don't know!!

- We're moving cause we're under attack

= yeah

- Are you scared?

= No!

- what about you Soma (the little girl)?

= Yes. (Little soma is scared).

- The tank is behind us, hurry up.

Soma runs and calls "baba" and he says: Don't be scared sweetie. Don't! Alhamdulilah we were able to get them out.

This is how displaced people woke up today, trying to gather their family to get away from the bombs. In what world is it obligatory for a child to hold a white flag? Shouldn't the fact that he's a child be a white flag in itself?

Link between colonialism, Christianity and globally-exported homophobia

“Same-sex relationships have always existed across time and across the globe. When Britain exported its conservative Christian homophobia to its colonies, while stealing their resources, assets, and antiquities, it was a way for the white heteronormative patriarchy to police bodies and their expressions of lust, desire, and pleasure.”

“In colonial India, as in Kenya and many other countries that were colonised by Britain, homosexuality was considered immoral and criminalised by conservative and prudish white Christians.”

“The modern-day equivalent of those colonial-era homophobes are the white American Christian Evangelicals who have helped push recent statues that criminalise homosexuality on the African continent. During the British Empire it was white, Christian, and prudish Victorians who codified who can fuck and with who. Today, during the era of American Empire, it is white, Christian Evangelical Americans who are the moral guardians of sex and gender.”

“After lobbying and financial support by American white Evangelical homophobic groups, several countries on the African continent have criminalised homosexuality.”

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."

the fact is, israel now definitely realises that no one believes its bullshit anymore, especially seeing the mass movement and huge shift in narrative in response to its ongoing war against Gaza. this tells israel that the mask is now completely off and the masses no longer believe its claims of being the victim and whatever the hell else.

this explains why the scale of violence has been so overwhelming in recent weeks, considering there is nothing for israel to justify anymore and no pretences to keep up for those who used to fall for them.

there is also the sense of embarrassment; a whole military apparatus with billions in annual aid still could not break a besieged, starved enclave (it never will). we have been hearing about ground invasion this, ground invasion that and we have yet to see anything tangible.

again, the public for the most part has now seen who israel really is; a genocidal, terrorist state, and israel knows there's no turning back from this so it ramped up the violence to cause as much damage as possible before it is forced to halt its current acceleration of the ongoing genocide.

U.S. officials are literally telling israel to "pause" so that people can ease up a little and be lulled back into complacency. always remember this and let's keep doing what we're doing because the tides have really turned.
