melissa barrera (the actress who got fired from the scream franchise for being pro palestine) has started a fundraiser with unrwa!

Can confirm that the above link leads to the official US website for UNRWA!

And here's a reason for hope: the fundraiser is blasting away. They just made $50,000 in the past 3 days - let's keep it going!

"Wait, hold on, I don't know what's going on here"

What's the UNRWA?

"The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, employs thousands of staffers and provides vital aid and services to millions of people across the Middle East. In Gaza, it has been the main supplier of food, water and shelter to civilians during the Israel-Hamas war."

-via PBS, January 29, 2024

If their funding is from the UN and various countries, what's up with this fundraiser?

A massive amount of UNRWA's budget was just cut in the middle of a humanitarian crisis, as the US and a number of other countries cut off aid to UNRWA completely.

Boost please and donate if you can

For those who don't know, Steve sosebee was a founder of PCRF and is building a new charity to specifically help gazan children.

something i noticed,

israel can kill innocent Palestinians, they can bomb their homes, destroy their cities, tear apart their families, cut off their food and water, and dehumanize them all they want,

but theres somethings they cannot destroy:

they cannot destroy the solidarity that Palestinians and non-Palestinian activists have together

they cannot destroy the hope and determination we all have to fight and make this genocide end

they can NEVER destroy the compassion and love that our palestinian siblings have for eachother

i have seen hospitals being bombed, yet the doctors refuse to leave their patients to die

i have seen people being arrested and harassed online, yet activists refuse to be silent about this genocide

i have seen children, who are younger than me, fight for kids their age who cannot fight for themselves

i have seen millions of people, who are not from palestine, rally in support to end this genocide

and that is something beautiful we shall NEVER be silent until the people of palestine are able to live in peace without the fear of dying 🇵🇸🍉FREE PALESTINE!🍉🇵🇸

"watermelons🍉"

❗reblog this. or just like it. boost it in any way. boost any post about the situation in Palestine. this is serious.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

we marched through the world,

we marched as much as we could.

but they took away our flags,

and we were left as rags,

on the street.

all powerless,

all, hopeless.

is this what we deserve?

or will they finally learn,

that it is not okay,

to ruin our day,

nevermind "day",

ruin our life, we say.

so we grew watermelons,

they've grown here for aeons.

they have our color,

for what more could we ask for?

when they simply won't let us be free,

just because they can't see,

that they are committing crime,

while a single life is worth every dime.

but we are in no need of flags,

because even as rags,

daughters to sons,

what will still grow,

are those watermelons.

~~~~~

it doesn't matter if it's good, it's about the meaning.

i'll make as many Palestine-related posts if i have to just to give people something to boost.

the Palestinians need it.

Brazil has also given its support

seriously and i mean full offence, but if you were silent and complicit during this genocide, i hope you know no peace. i hope that if you actively ignored the BDS list because the blood of my people was less valuable than your shitty creature comforts (that were manufactured with the blood of the global south) i hope that one day, when these same corporations turn on you, or else the global south finally puts an end to their exploitation, i hope you live out the rest of your life in the same hollow, perpetually unsatisfied way.

i hope you never know a moment of real love and real happiness for the rest of your miserable, enduring existence; YOU, having robbed my people of their lives, so you could continue to avert your gaze and plug your ears in the hopes of avoiding the inconvenience of our cries, our pleas.

maybe the ICJ doesn’t win. maybe it’s another 75 years before palestine is completely and totally liberated and free, but palestine WILL be free. palestine will endure, as it always has, and know that we will remember you as cowards, and no amount of grovelling or apologizing will ever make up for the fact that you wholly believed your entitlement to comfort and ignorance was more important than our blood.

Oh my gosh

This is pure evil. They say 12 employees participated in Oct 7th so they have to stop feeding the entire population????

Instagram user @/ramaduwaji draws a comic telling her story of being trapped under the rubble for 12 hours after being bombed by Israel

ramaduwaji is the artist. this story is about Reem Ahmed, 25 year old Palestinian architect and artist living in Gaza, trapped for 12 hours under the rubble after her home was bombed by Israel.

language is really telling. palestinians die vaguely, but israeli’s are specifically killed. palestinian little girls are called young women, but israeli little girls get to be called the children that they are. pay attention to the words being used. you might not even notice it’s propaganda you’re reading.
