We must keep speaking up about this. Is*ael will continue their crimes against Palestinians if we don't amplify Palestinians' voices. A cease-fire is not enough. Freedom is what we want!

Edit: More videos are being posted on Twitter by Palestinians in Jerusalem and more updates will be posted on my page. Please make sure to stay updated!

“Israeli forces storm Al-Aqsa mosque and start hitting Palestinians https://t.co/aK56QiS1b2”

They are attacking civilians in the place of worship!

Although a ceasefire has ended the lastest round of Israeli aggression, land seizures in addition to the occupation and blockade of the West Bank and Gaza Strip continue in violation of all norms of international law.

This past week saw thousands across the U.S. and the globe stand with the Palestinian people resisting the Zionist terror of American and French funded bombs. Beyond protesting and taking the streets, it is vital that we continue the struggle in solidarity by refusing to buy products from companies like Ben and Jerry's, HP, Pillsbury, Puma, Sabra and SodaStream.

After more than a week of innocent Palestinians getting killed, a cease-fire was finally agreed to.

But don't let this make you forget what Is*ael did and what they will keep doing if we don't keep speaking up about their crimes. A cease-fire doesn't mean freedom for Palestine.

Translation of tweet

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Update: more bodies were found

Eng translation of tweet:

The ministry of health in Gaza:

-243 martyrs including 66 children, 39 women, and 17 elders.

-1910 Palestinians are injured with various injuries.

Update (May 21st 2021): The IDF broke into Al Aqsa mosque and threw sound bombs at worshippers. This is why we must keep speaking up! A cease-fire is not enough. They'll keep commiting crimes and breaking international laws.

So isr*el agreed to a ceasefire and while that’s good news, what happens to the numerous people who were k*lled? The women who are left widowed? The orphaned children? The fathers who have lost their families?

232 people were k*lled, including 65 children

1,900 wounded

90,000 people displaced according to the UN

1800 housing units destroyed

74 govt facilities bombed

33 media centres destroyed

6 high rise buildings leveled

A ceasefire does not address any of these. End the blockade. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[theshoreofhope]

The battle continues. We don't give up. We are fighting against the inhuman discrimination that the Palestinians suffer, against apartheid, against ethnic cleansing. Palestinians are treated as subhumans. This must stop! We keep fighting!

Yesterday, Israel bombed one of the biggest bookshops in Gaza. The Samir Mansour bookshop was one of the few publishing houses in Gaza as well. I saw a video of the owner of the bookshop fighting tears and talking about how much this bookshop meant to him and how he used to skip meals to be able to save money to get this bookshop going. This bookshop was part of the Kahil building which had various stores and offices.

In another video that was circulating, a guy from Gaza was explaining why Israel targets these buildings and towers. Every day you hear about a building targeted and leveled. He explains that these towers have been the main destination for the youth of Gaza as they usually contain coffee shops, bookshops, restaurants, educational and learning centres. So by destroying them, Israel is destroying memories and any potential for communal relationships. 

This is what we mean when we say Israel is not only committing a full blown genocide as we have been witnessing publicly for days now, with over 200 deaths in the span of a week (as of May 19, 2021), but also this other form of incremental genocide that has been ongoing for decades; even when Israel isn’t bombing Gaza on a daily basis, there has always been an effort to erase Palestinian history and culture, from appropriating tatreez and the Palestinian cuisine to destroying literary works.

Highly recommend watching The Great Book Robbery documentary for more on that as it goes into the details about Israel’s appropriation of Palestinian books during the Nakba.

Erasing culture is an essential component of settler-colonialism, and what Israel is targeting in Gaza right now is by no means coincidental or “accidental”.

post on here: anyone else hate green grapes?

comment: this is actually a sign of both childhood trauma and adhd,

[dykesville]

op I know this is a joke but studies have actually shown a connection between affinity for grapes and adhd! our taste receptors show more affinity for sweet foods, which means that nah I’m just kidding but someone on here would say this

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

I CAN'T KEEP GETTING TRICKED LIKE THIS MBDJGJGDGJKL

[wanderingwistfulness]

You laugh but-

It’s true that people with ADHD are naturally prone to liking sweet things. Why? Because sweet foods trigger our brain to make dopamine and ADHD is basically a dopamine seeking missile. Adhd brains have lower concentrations of dopamine so the brain naturally seeks out things that will help supplement the natural lack of dopamine. So yes. Grapes are sweet, adhd likes sweet things... see what I’m getting at?

Further more, childhood trauma plays a significant role in triggering mental illness or exasperates already existing conditions, and yes that includes development disorders like adhd. Childhood trauma literally alters your brain, and more significantly so during childhood and adolescence because that is when your brain is doing the majority of its development. Many mental conditions struggle with dopamine which means once again, they too might have elevated need to seek out dopamine triggering sources like sweet foods.

Source: I study this shit at a masters level and just got done writing a lit review analyzing 10 journals that studied various ways that food and trauma are interrelated, and the way that childhood trauma in particular makes us predisposed to having difficult relations with food, often such as using food as comfort, so yes, dopamine.

I could go on. Like how one of the reasons why some people have adhd is because of trauma that happens to the mother during pregnancy, but I won’t.
