this is what i’ve been thinking for some time now. israhell has been losing the public support slowly for some time now and they know their propaganda doesn’t work that much anymore and i know that for sure they are trying to get zionists that are in art fields like music to be in the spotlight and to share propaganda bc it is known that some of them are literally paid to do so! scooter braun being one of them but who knows if someone like that isn’t already working with other companies and that we don’t know of? i mean… txt having a zionist producer in a song and skz doing a collab with a zionist is no coincidence! this will be happening more often if as fans we don’t speak out! zionists can’t be comfortable in this industry… people who support genocides shouldn’t have a place in music! they need to feel shame and these companies should too so please… open your eyes! notice every single person that collaborates with groups and pay attention bc this is already ugly as it is but if we don’t do anything it will get way worse

Palestinian women confront Israeli soldiers during the first intifada (1987-93)
200 Days of genocide. I don't know for how long it will last but all i know the world must stop them we are so tired of killing and displaced & hunger & fear of losing your beloved and unknown future. That's enough what they want more?
"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.

But they aren’t documented so they wouldn’t be pa…..nvm
This is a huge misconception for regular Americans. When the government uses the phrase “undocumented” they’re using it incorrectly because if they were truly undocumented then they would’ve be in system. However these immigrants are in the system and they pay taxes, file tax returns and get no benefits that citizens and legal residents get. They also get to see ICE showing up at their doors because the government has their addresses. Fun fact. “Undocumented” workers pays $12 billion dollars every year in taxes. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2016/10/06/how-much-tax-do-americas-undocumented-immigrants-actually-pay-infographic/amp/
Reblogging for info.
“Undocumented” just means “without papers,” i.e. a social security card, valid visa, etc. They’re still on databases and whatnot, they just don’t have the documentation that allows them to reap the benefits.
so if it didn’t click- the government is aware of their presence and gladly taking their money under the table while simultaneously promoting the idea that undocumented people are a threat and encouraging hatred and distrust of them it’s super messed up, literally the scheme of an evil villain, and it’s really happening
🗣 undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles contribute more to the GDP than the state of Montana and like 5 other states
“Israel is committing genocide.” Yes. They are. But so is the US. The US is 100% complicit in this, and Israel would not have been able to do as much without the help of the US. I’m disgusted to be living in a country that is complicit in the literal MURDER of civilians. Men, women, children, elderly, families. All dead because of Israel AND the US. This needs to STOP.

HOPE ON THE STREET ... track 3?
i know we're all super excited for hobi's new music but i want to raise awareness about just who are behind one of the songs
track 3 (lock/unlock) has producer credits from benny blanco, cashmere cat and omer fedi. these three support the occupation of Palestine and the ongoing genocide (see image below)
this should raise alarm bells for ARMY
but what can we do about it?
we need to use our voices to show hybe that we do not want people like this working with bts. people who agree with and promote the deaths of innocent people have no place in art
join us by spreading the images below and remind everyone not to listen to or support at least track 3 of hobi's new album. use the hashtags #HYBEDivestFromZionism #하이브는시오니스트를퇴출하라
for more information on the boycott and how it helps Palestinians please visit the link below
ARMY let's use our voices for good!
And no one cares about the hundreds of martyred Palestinian children BEFORE October 7th no one cares about the hundreds of children in jail no one cares about the women who get sexually assaulted by Israel regularly no one cares no one cares no one cares. Palestinian existence is just expected suffering a constant stream of suffering and no one thinks for a moment that Palestinians aren't supposed to be living like this. They don't care that Gazans grew up in a cage that was normal but when Israelis died? Then they start to care. You would have been perfectly content never talking about Palestine beyond "It's so sad" and that's the thing that enrages me the most. You claim to value all human life but remain completely silent about the treatment of Palestinians BEFORE all this, then it's clear. I'm asking you for the bare minimum, to care, and even that you can't be arsed to do if you can't insert your own concerns into all this.
I'm not writing this to change anyone. I'm writing this to vent. I fully have given up on you liberal zionist types. I see no point in appealing to your sense of selfish morality.
I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say
kill one group of aid workers with explicit intent so that all other potential or currently operating aid organizations pull out of the region to ensure gaza starves with no one willing to risk helping her people. deep sickness
yk if one more person frames a sexual harassment case as a ~ shame for the hardworking people at redbull ~ and laments on how it distracts from their success i am going. to . scream. couldn’t give a fuck about a team that harbours abusers and racists even before this case happened
