The masculine urge to get a tramp stamp

[rhubarbspring]

[stuckinapril]

it broke today that biden airdropped aid to gaza. other than the fact that this is an obvious pr move ahead of his re-election campaign, i think it's important to stress how ineffective this method is compared to just allowing humanitarian aid to come through. airdrops carry far less aid than truck convoys, for one, and require an airdrop zone with a lot of idealistic conditions that don't often coincide. this is a major reason why you hear a lot of airdrops being conducted at beaches--and why a lot of them have been blown to the sea. and what's even more dangerous about that is that a lot of these palestinians are malnourished, starving, in a delirious state of mind. many of them are so utterly hungry that they'd be willing to swim through just to get their hands on a sodden meal. but apparently this is the best thing the us, which literally funds israel's ongoing genocide, can do for palestinians at the moment.

[stuckinapril]

i think the biggest reason i find this so insidious is because it implies the us has to play by israel's rules, even though it's basically already confirmed that there are us soldiers in palestine. the us is telling us that the best thing it can do is airdrop aid, rather than strongarm israel into allowing ground-delievred aid to come through. the us is acting like it has red tape it has to contend with.

but the us is the red tape. the us literally holds the power. it knows what it's doing. it's actually jarring watching the united states government try to infantilize itself.

it has come to my attention that Aaron Bushnell had recently created a will before self-immolating in which he left his life savings to the PCRF. instead of speculating on his personal life i suggest we all take a page from his book and donate to the PCRF as well. we must not forget that his sacrifice was for Palestine. we can't forget about Palestine when we discuss him.

DONATE TODAY ❤️

Your donation allows PCRF to deliver on its humanitarian mission and send international volunteer medical missions to treat sick and injured

[duncebento]

a lot of you are not doing a good job of combatting your human urge for narrative— tragic or otherwise— when it comes to the events surrounding palestine. as such, you are consuming the martyrdoms, the assaults, the deaths, as content, even as you attempt activism.

[duncebento]

i say this about centering aaron’s twitch username and speculating extensively on why he could’ve been trans, rather than acknowledging the statement he wanted to make and the cause to which he wanted to bring awareness. i say this to the narrativizing of journalists’ like bisan’s and motaz’ lives, making them into mascots rather than extrapolating their humanity and complexity onto every single human being in palestine. i say this about engaging so much with images of graphic death that you let your mind normalize the idea of palestinian bodies as necessitating death (see images of black death in america.) i say this even to the characterization of the genocidal idf soldiers as inhuman, monstrous, and uniquely evil— which is fun, but sets us up to misunderstand once again the banality of inhumane crimes, and the fact that all of us, if we do not remain alert, contain the capacity to excuse, aid, or even commit such evil (as those of us in the imperial core are regularly commanded to do.)

by not resisting your natural urge to narrativize, you misunderstand the nature of settler-colonialism, imperialism, genocide. you draw weird conclusions, like expecting passive victimhood from palestinians, or assuming some unique moral ineptitude that exists only in the minds of israeli citizens. assuming that experiencing genocide makes people better people— implying that those who did not learn from it did not “learn their lesson.” baby talk like this keeps us from coming to the conclusions we must make in order to do our part in stopping this genocide and others like it.

Aaron Bushnell (25), the active U.S. Air Force member who self-immolated outside of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, D.C. today, recently passed away from his injuries.

"He is one of the most principled comrades I've ever known," said Xylem, who worked with Bushnell to support San Antonio's unhoused residents.

"He's always trying to think about how we can actually achieve liberation for all with a smile on his face," said Errico.

[fleshdyke]

i actually dont give a shit if hamas did everything and worse that israel accuses them of it still doesn't justify killing 30000 random civilians

[fleshdyke]

this is literally the least radical position you could have btw it's literally just normal fucking morals. every day i live in disbelief that people are saying "it's complicated". there's nothing complicated about saying "killing 30000 civilians including children, journalists, doctors, and human rights officials is bad"

Again, both Azerbaijan and Israel are participating in Eurovision. Israel even had American and Western artists defending to keep it in this Eurovision despite other European artists firmly being against this stance since - you know genocide.

[sugurugetos]

palestinians were massacred and bombed to drive them out of the north of gaza, and they were told that the south was safe. then israel wiped out the south of gaza and promised safe evacuation if palestinians fled to rafah which is now being violently bombed as well. if israel's goals aren't clear here, i don't know what else could prove it

[sugurugetos]

quds news network reported that israeli strikes targeted a mosque in the yebna refugee camp in rafah and it is no coincidence that people are saying that they are hearing less abt palestine as the days go on, well its because israel is murdering the brave journalists who have been sharing the atrocities
