I’m on a little hiatus btw
Just sharing a Canadian email campaign here off of instagram since a lot of mobilizing calls I’ve seen have been US centric. Islamic Relief Canada has a letter template demanding a ceasefire and humanitarian aid corridor be opened in Gaza and specifically addresses yesterday’s (Oct 17) hospital bombing. The campaign goal is 75,000 emails and it takes less than 10 seconds 2 fill out. They even auto fill your region’s member of parliament.
If u want to write your own email I also linked the MP finder website. It just searches by postal code and lists your representative’s contact information including phone and email for u.
with world leaders and the media being so horrifically biased and complicit in the israeli war crimes against the palestinians of gaza, it can feel like we're not doing enough to help. but i wouldn't underestimate the impact of your shares on social media. even if it feels like you're not achieving anything physical, even if you have a small circle or following, you are planting the idea and the doubt in people's minds so that they can start to question things by themselves. so that people who feel like something is not right don't feel alone in their observation, and in turn can have the courage to speak out too.
the fact that there's such an effort to censor and shadowban pro-palestine voices across numerous social media platforms shows that they're genuinely seen as a threat. there is potential for change. every voice has power.
It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
