the flour massacre is ongoing. it is everyday. it was not an isolated event. it was not even the first time israel shot at and killed palestinians going for aid (they do it whenever they allow aid through). in fact, they did the exact same thing yesterday morning. just because smaller-scale murders go under the radar for lack of shock factor doesn’t mean they’re not happening continuously.

Access to the right hygeine products is essential for Palestinian people, as the Israeli blockade has left millions without access to proper hygeine that can lead to potentially fatal infections and diseases.
Epistemicide can be broadly defined as the destruction of knowledge systems and the knowledge that they generate. The Latin American sociologist Ramón Grosfoguel explains how epistemicide played a crucial role in Europe's colonization of the rest of the world, including the settler colonization of the Americas. It granted European philosophy an “epistemic privilege,” allowing it to become the “new foundation of knowledge in the modern/colonial world.”
In other words, it created a world in which only knowledge produced by European colonists and settlers was deemed legitimate, while colonized societies were compelled to construct new systems from scratch — often mirroring those of their colonizers — because their own systems had been destroyed. As a result, the structural conditions of knowledge production that facilitated the mechanisms of their colonialization also imposed constraints on their liberation.

thinking abt how this is my most popular post… made it in pics art i think
Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.
We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.
— Hazem, journalist residing in Rafah; 02.11.2024
Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.
Ready to leave the shelter
The ease in which Palestinian men are dehumanized. People saw those lineups of halfnaked men and there was relatively no international uproar. Is sexual violence against our men permissible for some reason as long as you write them off as "terrorists"? Humiliation is part of the colonizers' playbook after all. But this is a complex issue of two politically equal entities so don't worry about it.
That last line was sarcasm.

Al Jazeera bureau chief Wael Al-Dahdouh mourning the loss of his son Hamza, another Palestinian journalist who was assassinated today by an Israeli strike in Gaza:
These are tears of sadness and loss. These tears are what differentiate between us and our enemies. We are imbued with humanity, while they are imbued with murder and malice. Yes, we shed tears, but these are human tears, generous tears of dignity. These are not tears of fright and submission. This pushes us to reiterate that we will keep going. We have embarked on this journey before my son Hamza was born.
Wael had lost 12 members of his family in October of last year, including his wife, daughter, son and grandson who were killed by an Israeli strike on Al Nuseirat refugee camp where they were sheltering.
This brings the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel since October 7 to 109. Keep in mind that journalists Mustafa and Hamza who were literally chased and assassinated, were not only wearing their press vests, but they were in a car branded as a press car too.
This and the many examples before it should leave no room for doubt that this deliberate targeting of journalists and their families is a very calculated move that Israel for some reason thinks will suppress and hinder advocacy for Palestine.
Our role, be it by speaking out about Palestine or sharing online or protesting or whatever else we can do, is a role so necessary to tell Israel that we are inspired by those people's determination to tell the truth and if all Israel does is kill them, their beliefs and what they fought for will live in us forever.

Hey, I know it's fun to make fun of Henry Kissinger. But you know what's even more fun? Donating to organizations that help undo some of the damage that Kissinger inflicted on various countries. Here's a couple of links!
Cambodian Children's Fund (I donated $50 to this one- that's enough feed 26 families by providing 5 kilograms of rice each month!)
FAFG (This is a charity that helps Guatemalans find loved ones who disappeared during the Guatemalan Civil War.)
The Halo Trust (This charity is dedicated to removing landmines in Angola. Since 1994, they've destroyed nearly 100,000 landmines!)
Children of Vietnam (This charity helps impoverished Vietnamese families.)
TECHO-Chile (A really great charity that focuses on housing and community-based projects in the slums of Chile)
