I never carried a rifle on my shoulder, Nor did I pull a trigger. All I have is a flute’s melody. A brush to paint my dreams, A bottle of ink. All I have is unshakeable faith, And an infinite love for my people in pain.

Reject the male gaze by being an ugly old crone with long greasy hair and a hooked nose. Try dressing yourself exclusively in filthy rags, or, if those aren’t available, maybe just wrap a huge bed sheet toga-style around your body. What’s most important is that you’re comfortable and can move your arms easily to cast wicked spells. Dress for you and your needs, not for anyone else. Get yourself a set of iron teeth because why the fuck not, those are super metal. Like, literally metal. Remind yourself that you don’t exist to please men – you exist to be a terrifying witch who does whatever she wants.

The University bag that horrified the Coward Zionists
18 year old Palestinian university student Hadeel Hashlamoun from #Hebron asked to be frisked by a female occupation soldier. When she refused to be frisked by an israeli male soldier she was shot numerous times and left to bleed to death. Hadeel did not have a knife or any type of weapon like purported earlier by the israeli occupation forces to cover up their murder. These perpetual lies are never ending.

VIDEO: Living Under Israel’s Missiles
Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.
More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

I don’t get it when people cite international law as if it’s some kind of undisputed moral authority.
Like, do you have any idea how Eurocentric it is, and how much of it automatically assumes the existence of modern nation-states? Plus, it’s a type of law, meaning that good lawyers can easily defend awful actions by using all sorts of technicalities and loopholes.
Not to mention that the way it’s interpreted and applied is extremely politicized.
Don’t trust international law to tell you right from wrong.
you’re saying this in regards to Palestinians using international law to justify their right to oppose their occupation, but your neglecting to remember the fact that a proposal by the same international institution was what israel used to justify declaring itself a state and committing genocide against the palestinian people. So why is international law and institutions reliable when they aren’t helping Palestinians.
Hey I don't know if this was asked and I'm sorry if it was but can you please explain why Russia is in was with Syria
russia is trying to establish influence in the middle east and believes the Assad regime would be more accommodating to them so they are backing them.

Lebanon: What Do You Mean There Is No State?
Those familiar with Lebanese politics have repeatedly heard the deployment of the phrase “wayn al-dawla?”, meaning “Where is the state?”. It is the reality of this question that artist and designer Jana Traboulsi draws attention to with the first set of graphics showing the state’s violence against protesters. In the second set of graphics, she plays on the “You Stink” motif of the protests to critique the corruption of the political class. In both sets, Traboulsi is firm in her condemnation of the violence of the status quo, whether in its structural form or in its episodic form.
Haiti has the dubious distinction of being “the poorest country in the Western hemisphere” (Central Intelligence Agency, 2012); yet, it was the richest of France’s colonies until the Haitian Revolution, the only slave revolution to ever found a state. This paradox can be explained by what/who counts as whose property. Under French colonialism, Haiti was a worth a fortune in enslaved human beings. From the French slave owners’ perspectives, Haitian independence abolished not slavery, but their property and a source of common-wealth. Unfortunately, history provides us with the exact figures on what their property was worth; in 1825, “France recognized Haitian independence by a treaty requiring Haiti to pay an indemnity of 150 million francs payable in 5 years to compensate absentee slaveowners for their losses”. 150 million Francs was the equivalent of France’s annual budget (and Haiti’s population was less than 1% of France’s), 10 times all annual Haitian exports in 1825, equivalent to $21 billion in 2010 U.S. Dollars. By contrast, France sold the Louisiana Purchase to the United States in 1803 for a net sum of 42 million Francs. The magnitude of these reparations, not for slavery, but to former slave owners, plunged Haiti into eternal debt.
