Feels insane that a couple of weeks ago we all watched a video of a young man burning to death in a hospital bed and somehow the global diplomatic incident today is about a bunch of racist football hooligans getting a shoeing. What are we doing?
Remember Lubna Elian, 14 years old.
She only wanted to become a famous violinist.
Israel killed her along with her parents and 45 members of her family.
4. Palestine
Initially I was solely going to create a look drawing inspiration from a traditional Palestinian garment called a Thawb, and upon my research I discovered hundreds of Palestinian athletes had been killed recently amongst the atrocities ongoing in Gaza. Understanding the strength and courage it would take to perform at a world stage given a genocide in your own own country, I wanted to make a look that feels like a human embodiment of the flag itself but most importantly, I wanted something that felt beautiful and free.
congratulations to israeli hasbara for confirming that they are indeed colonisers from all over the world, that they are made up of foreign mercenaries groomed and paid to occupy and control indigenous Palestinians
Despite over 20 years of learning, reading, writing about the Israeli occupation, this genocide has taught me that I still cannot begin to fathom the depth of moral degradation that envelops and makes up Israeli society.
I'm in awe of Palestinian birders who continue taking their binoculars and cameras out after their home became a war zone.
Even when it means risking their lives, they keep going because knowing the birds have returned another year gives them hope.
