just watched the bbc news and it was like ‘it’ll be a tough week for both sides’ and meanwhile this is the videos coming from Israel and the videos from gaza are just piles of dead bodies and ppl fleeing for safety
🇮🇱 If Israel is just fighting Hamas, why did they:
🚨 Murder UN staff & journalists
🚨 Kill 30 students at UN school
🚨 Disconnect electricity, water& internet 2 million civilians
🚨 Bomb a border crossing to block humanitarian aid
🚨 Bomb Jordanian field hospital in Gaza
public post from the prime minister of israel’s wife’s advisor. to fantasize so deeply about human torture, you can’t come back from this level of spiritual rot
I’m sorry we are LITERALLY watching an erasure & genocide of people unfold. There’s a clear side to this and some of y’all will look back realizing you were on the wrong one.
Y’all will be the ppl we shame in the future.
"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived. My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed. I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.
There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'. There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.
I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then.
It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century. I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit!
So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity. You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.
And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."
🇮🇱🇵🇸 A huge civilian evacuee convoy was hit by an Israeli air strike after Israel ordered all Palestinian civilians to evacuate to Southern Gaza.
This is terrorism, plain and simple. https://t.co/Q50FxlTeCW
BREAKING: Israel is currently bombing 3 different countries simultaneously: Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.
Only Israel can commit war crimes like these with total impunity, and still be portrayed as the victim in Western media.
I knew I was gonna be expensive for the rest of my life when they could only put real gold earrings on me as a baby and kid because it would cause me a bad infection if it wasn’t real gold
well it turns out that you thought you were mad at them for not being available for you when you needed but you were ultimately more mad at yourself for always being available for them because you have no boundaries and consistently put other people’s well-being over your own.
Kids aren’t responsible to know how to navigate their parents tempers, mood swings, and/or bad days. If you grew up thinking otherwise, this could be a key indicator to why you feel overly responsible for other people’s well-being while unknowingly neglecting your own.
i care and im ok with that. im sensitive and im ok with that. life moves me in such a way that i feel everything. and i’m ok with that. i am ok with being in touch with the important things. i’ve created a safe space within myself for me to be vulnerable and truly feel
The story of the Yellowstone wolves shows that ecosystems are complex and interconnected in ways that we may not fully understand. When all the parts are in balance, nature thrives. 7/end
