@discord@discord_support I’ve been trying to get help with a hacked account for over 3 days now and I’ve still yet to get a response from a human please I need help
everyone under the age of 35 that doesn't simply turn on cnn or fox news and believes their framing knows that these protests have largely been peaceful and yet they got a larger police response than january 6. wasting more tax $$ beating students for the welfare state of israel
If you aren’t putting together that every protest movement in our country gets met with hyper militarized police force except white supremacists it’s easy to miss your rights being swept away as well
When I was a kid, the Israeli army invaded all Palestinian cities in the West Bank including Nablus where we lived.
They would impose days-long curfews where nobody is allowed to leave their house or even look out of a window.
With no electricity, everything in the fridge goes bad so finding bread was the name of the game.
We would spend our days between sitting around, often on the floor to avoid a stray bullet, and going to the downstairs car garage to play (where we assumed it’ll be safer).
From time to time, I’d be responsible for going out during a curfew and run to a make shift neighborhood store to buy bread.
The less than a block worth of walking, maybe 2 mins on a normal day, would take half an hour with the sounds of shootings and bombings in the background.
I’d spend the time hiding between the bushes, trying to hear any tanks or Israeli jeeps passing by, and basically trying to avoid dying.
From time to time, we would wake up with bread at our door.
Our neighborhood store owner would simply risk their life to run to our building and place them at our doors at no charge when they felt less risk to do so.
The Israeli army would shoot people on site for violating curfews so the fact that we survived is something.
But the fact that we had to do this is just something else.
All of this and we did not have a systematic policy to starve us at the time, like Gaza is facing.
This kid won’t realize it now but he’ll grow up to think of these moments.
The trauma inflected on millions of Palestinians children will define the few decades to come and every time, many of those uninterested in Palestinian life will pretend like it never happened.
I was this kid.
You lose a part of your trust in humanity for a long time. It’s our collective job to help him gain it back.
I hope he lives to see a free Palestine.
BREAKING:
LEAKED DOCUMENT from Columbia University admin detailing:
1. Discriminatory Admissions policies for the Tel Aviv Dual Degree program
2. Disproportionate financial aid given to Tel Aviv Dual Degree Students
3. Bias from the Dean of General Studies
Thread 🧵
This thread reveals, among other things, that a Columbia Dean met with IDF veterans to get them to disrupt and counter pro-Palestine organizing on campus.
THIS IS WHY WE ARE PROTESTING!
OVER 300 BODIES FOUND BURIED IN THE YARD OF AL NASSER HOSPITAL IN GAZA.
THERE ARE CHILDREN BURIED ALIVE, WOMEN ZIP-TIED THEN SUFFOCATED DEATH, AND PATIENTS STILL WITH IV CATHETERS ATTACHED.
YOU CANNOT #STANDWITHISRAEL AND BELIEVE IN HUMANITY SIMULTANEOUSLY.
AOC went to the Columbia protest because she was asked to by the organizers, a strategic move that generates visibility, legitimacy & makes them safer. Folks are entitled to criticize any politician, but don't let hot takes online undermine the people on the ground doing the work
Refaat Alareer wrote a poem called “If I Die,” asking people to fly a kite in his name if he’s killed to give hope to orphaned children.
He wrote it for his daughter, Shaima.
Israel killed him. Months later Shaima had a baby.
Israel killed Shaima.
And her husband and baby.
