LEE KNOW ✦ "MANIAC" ENCORE IN JAPAN DIRECTOR’S CUT

"B-but Palestinians can get their freedom with peace not violence 🥺🥺" no. Screw your feelings. The armed resistance against colonizers and murderers is what will give Palestinians their freedom and what will eventually achieve real peace.

An enemy that bombs and uses white phosphorus against civilians doesn't know nor practice what your broken moral compass describes as "peace". Freedom was proven throughout history not to be achieved through kneeling and asking the oppressor to kindly stop. Freedom needs to be taken by force. Your little Utopian way of thinking doesn't work in the real world. Your feelings don't matter because you're not the one living under occupation. Your feelings don't matter because you're not one of the thousands of children who lost their limbs. You're not one of the children who became orphans due to this genocide. You're not the mother who lost her child to the carpet bombing. You're not the father carrying the remains of your child in plastic bags. You're not the newlywed woman who lost her husband. You're not the one at risk of either getting killed any second or losing your loved ones in the blink of an eye!

"Peace" is not really a thing you see during a live ethnic cleansing!

Reblogging this as a fuck you to the previous person who opposed the resistance.

Peace will never liberate oppression. It just won't, and if you think it will, you're too ignorant of history to be involved in this conversation.

Not once has "please stop oppressing us" made an oppressor go "aw, shit, my bad, sorry bro". Oppressors want power. They don't want equality. If someone is willing to murder in order to prevent you from having equality, they won't care if you ask from that equality "peacefully". They'll take it as an opportunity to murder you and make an example of you to make everyone else fear the same fate, thus allowing the oppressor to keep their power.

Equal rights are taken, not given. Peace was never an option, and that was decided the day Israel first began displacing, oppressing, and terrorizing Palestine when they took over and colonized the country for their own Zionist views.

So... STRANGER THINGS FANS are you still going to ignore this? Bc the last couple of days I have seen you really excited about the actors strike being over and so f excited bc stranger things will soon begin shooting but you’re incapable of talking about this disgusting behavior... STRANGER THINGS should be boycotted, period!

The Brave Men of Palestine ✊🏻🇵🇸

We are fighting alongside those who are still alive and continue their fight for liberation and we mourn those we have lost. We remember them and we wont forget them.

oh btw i'd like to note that Israeli airstrikes while not calculated in terms of damage, are most of the time very calculated regarding the intent behind them.

over the last month, israel has killed at least 39 journalists with/without their families. no, it's not coincidence, a lot of them weren't killed while reporting. these journalists were targeted while at home with their relatives.

it's worth noting that israel has a very sophisticated intelligence system that allows it to have information on every single registered palestinian citizen, including their ID number, phone number, their address, close relatives and of course their profession. it's actually israel that issues identification cards for palestinians and that's why they have a color coded system according to the area.

so it's really not that hard to pick up the pattern of their targeted attacks. bakeries are not accidentally bombed, no, they know there's a bakery in that building. they call the bakery owner and threaten them to close or else they'll bomb.

motaz, bissan, plestia and several other journalists have been declared by israel through jpost as "hamas propaganda team", making it clear that they're labeled as members of hamas. this is not only incorrect but an actual threat to these individuals by making them legitimate targets. they're intentionally targeting the voices sharing the truth about this atrocity firsthand from gaza and will do everything to silence them.

as of right now, we don't have any updates from bisan since over 24h. her last message through her instagram channel was:

she alongside other journalists are in areas that were bombed last night and this morning, notably hospitals.

Okay guys I have NEVER recommended anything here other than books and hashtag not sponsored BUT. I just got my Nike Go FlyEase shoes and they are a disability GAME CHANGER for me.

[img desc: a person steps onto an odd looking sneaker which is folded partially in half. the shoe closes around their foot as they step down]

They are a funky little shoe that literally FOLDS in such a manner that they can be put on and off entirely without your hands; you can just step in and out of them.

The history of them is actually very interesting; the FlyEase line was always designed with disability in mind (the first one was inspired by a teenager with cerebral palsy, Matthew Walzer). They've been a thing for years but they never had one that particularly stood out to me amongst other similar shoes... until the Go.

You see, along with being someone who has only a few bends in me per day before it's all over, I'm also a fall risk. Like a comical fall risk. I've fallen into traffic. I will just roll over and die at a moment's notice. And most slide on shoes are unstable and slip around on your foot. This shoe clamps onto me like a goddamn vice. It's Got Me. It's also got good arch support which is like, a plus. By freeing up a bunch of bend-overs per day, this is going to leave me with a lot more ability and energy, especially on the bad days.

They sound too good to be true (I was VERY skeptical buying them despite the video review), but seriously, you can just step into them--and out of them by stepping on that chonky back heel there. God knows I'm not the only person with difficulty sliding on heels or tying laces in the world, so I thought I would be remiss if I didn't recommend them. If you think they might help you out, they probably WOULD, as they were recommended to me by Footless Jo, an amputee YouTuber, and as mentioned, were inspired in part by people with disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy to past strokes.

They're Pricey but ultimately average when it comes to Nice Shoes(tm), the ones I got were $125.

I'd like to add that shoes like these are adaptive clothing products and very important to the disabled community.

Here are 2 more well known adaptive shoe companies:

Kizik

And Billy footwear:

Kikiz is the company that developed this specific tech! Nike opted to fund them rather than buy them out, in part because a lot of their workers were old Nike employees.

I looked them up, they seem to be about 100 to 135 USD on Amazon. Just wanted to add that info on here cus my first thought was "are they affordable".

This is yet another example of their cruelty and violence.

These people (dead/injured) were getting transported from El Shefa hospital on their way to get treatment in Egypt, Israel bombed them on their way for treatment.

You keep on saying oh they're attacking because of Hamas, where's Hamas here? Are you that blind?

Injured people looking for treatment, innocent children & poor animals, all getting slaughtered when they didn't even try to attack, they get bombed for seeking shelter, for trying to stay alive!

If this is not genocide then you are blind!

This is genocide, this is what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for decades now but you were & might still be too blind to see.

This is why we're boycotting, why we're sharing for people everywhere to know the truth!

Palestinians are getting killed for nothing other than existing!

And Joe Biden is gonna give Israel more money for this, more American taxes paid for more of this, more siege, more no electricity or water or food, more blood & death!

If this video is not moving you for even a little bit then you need to fucking get your level of humanity checked!

My friend who wished to remain anonymous translated this video and asked me to share it on her behalf:

We can't take it anymore. We are living as victims here, martyrs with the difference of times (when we are murdered), we are murdered one after another.

And no one looks at us, no one witnesses the magnitude of the catastrophe of the genocide we are living in gaza.

No protection. No international protection of any sort. No immunity against anything. These vests do not protect us, these helmets do not protect us. It is just a couple of slogans that we wear, it does not offer any protection for any reporter. These helmets and these vests do not protect us. We just wear it as slogans.

We are victims here. Victims being aired live, we lose our lives one after another without any price in return. We live as martyrs living on borrowed time, each waiting our turn to get murdered."

Our colleague, Mohammed was here only half an hour ago. And now he has departed us and he lies here dead with his wife and his child and his brother, along with a lot of his family who are also victims here inside this hospital.

John Cusack, the voice actor for Dimitri in Anatasia (1997), shared his statement on Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸 🇵🇸

P.S. He has been a Palestinian supporter for years

"Language matters.

@barahmeh attends one of the largest marches for Palestine in British history. He asked people there why they support Palestine.

Full video on YouTube on the uncivilized channel":

Not enough people are phrasing this like he did: Gaza is over 2 million hostages.

That's what they need to be called in Gaza, hostages, because that's what they are.

And in"israeli" prisons, they have over 10,000 Palestinian hostages. So the 200 or less hostages that Hamas took? That was after the over 5000 hostages that were in prison, now over 10,000 hostages, and the 2.2 million Palestinians kept in the concentration camp of Gaza.

Naji Al-Ali wrote: “The child Handala is my signature, everyone asks me about him wherever I go. I gave birth to this child in the Gulf and I presented him to the people. His name is Handala and he has promised the people that he will remain true to himself. I drew him as a child who is not beautiful; his hair is like the hair of a hedgehog who uses his thorns as a weapon. Handala is not a fat, happy, relaxed, or pampered child. He is barefooted like the refugee camp children, and he is an icon that protects me from making mistakes. Even though he is rough, he smells of amber. His hands are clasped behind his back as a sign of rejection at a time when solutions are presented to us the American way.“

Handala was born ten years old, and he will always be ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland, and when he returns, Handala will still be ten, and then he will start growing up. The laws of nature do not apply to him. He is unique. Things will become normal again when the homeland returns.

I presented him to the poor and named him Handala as a symbol of bitterness. At first, he was a Palestinian child, but his consciousness developed to have a national and then a global and human horizon. He is a simple yet tough child, and this is why people adopted him and felt that he represents their consciousness.”
