Palestinians deserve human rights and that should never be controversial. Ceasefire now, stop the genocide, end the occupation free Palestine.
The Palestinian sunbird was declared the national bird of Palestine in 2015 after Israel tried to change its name in their ongoing effort to erase Palestinian identity. The Palestinian sunbird is now a symbol of hope and freedom.

A portrait of Plestia Alaqad. Free Palestine.
My heart is breaking that we are currently seeing the manufactured consent for Palestinian genocide. Ethnic persecution and genocide are about power, land, and wealth. Hate is a justification for seizing land & wealth and solidifying the power of those enacting the genocide. This is shown time and again throughout history. One day the world will apologise to Palestinians. My fear is that by then, it will be too late.
I've been crying daily in the privilege of my safe home, where my value as a human isn't questioned by governments or media based on my ethnicity. If you have the privilege of safety, don't look away. It is so incredibly important to keep listening, learning, sharing, protesting, donating. Don't normalise genocide. Thank you Plestia, Bisan, Yara, Motaz and all the others bravely speaking up in Gaza.
* Obviously, I don't condone the killing of innocent civilians - by Hamas or anyone else. What happened on October 7th was a tragic symptom of oppression. I therefore unequivocally condemn the Israeli government who created these oppressive conditions. For 75 years, they have colonised land by displacing, subjugating and killing Palestinians using the backing, money and military tech from global superpowers. Hamas does not equal Palestine. Zionism does not equal Judaism. I strongly support anti-Zionist Jewish voices. I strongly support a free Palestine.

Loss. Wandering. Tormented by the shadows of a past that she has partially forgotten, Cléa flees into the unknown in hope of finding a sliver of light in the darkness. Archer, a personal assassin, is ordered to bring back the young woman with golden hair. He already knows he will have to be merciless, it's obey or die. It doesn't matter if he condemns an innocent person; Archer's own soul was shattered a long time ago on the pavement of death and servitude.
