Skip school/work if you are able to
Be present & active on social media and uplift Palestinian voices
Draw, write, sing, create art for Palestine
Repost & boost Palestine related content on social media
Educate yourself about the issue
We have been asked to strike during these days by the lovely & hardworking journalist Bisan from Gaza. Let's all try our best for a people being tested with the harshest conditions imaginable. The occupation must be held accountable.
We're in this together!!
Keep your ‘I am neutral and want peace on both sides’ sentiment to yourself. There’s a genocide happening. If you still can’t see it for what it is, it’s because you don’t want to.
Tumblr has shown itself to be pro-Israel and has been spreading pro-Israel propaganda.
Some have been leaving this site altogether in light of this news, others have been minimizing their posting to only be about Palestine (and not only due to the global strike), etc.
Regardless of what you do or don't do on this site, one thing should be absolutely clear:
Do not support the Tumblr brand in any way, shape, or form.
Do not give them your money, do not give them positive reviews, do not speak positively of the staff, none of that.
Continue spreading support for Palestine. Continue uplifting Palestinian voices. Shout out Palestinian creators.
Do not stop talking about Palestine.

melissa barrera (the actress who got fired from the scream franchise for being pro palestine) has started a fundraiser with unrwa!
from river to the sea
tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent
Ah for sure the metaphors is simpler than the situation and but for clarification the carving out part I’m mostly referencing the colonisation of Palestinian land that took place after both states were established out of the Ottoman Empire/British protectorate. Plus while there are different definitions of Zionism the philosophy being pushed by the people in charge of Israel right now and what a lot of people seem to be consciously or unconsciously legitimising holds that Israel must take over the entire area and palestine has no right to exist and Palestinians have no right to live there.
( I’d love a equitable one state solution but I don’t see it realistically happening this century given the amount of blood spilled so a roughly equal sized/resourced two state with free movement might be the best we’d see in our lifetimes)
so I had a whole, far more elaborate response on the day you sent this- and then trying to post my internet cut out and the whole write up was lost, and I just don’t have energy to reproduce it
In short summary - I agree with much of what you’ve said here, the variety of views in Zionism is important and key to progress moving forward, and particularly within Israel, supporting leftist, pro-peace, groups is important
I think peace - whatever form it takes, whether it’s two state, one state, whatever - is a long way off, and there’s gonna be a lot of in between stages, and we have to be okay with those in between stages.
Attention Christians - THIS is what Jesus would do. Put his body on the line, speak truth to power, and demand justice for the starving and oppressed. 🙌
Thank you, @christiansforafreepalestine, for being an example of true decency and faith in action.
“Our scriptures say ‘woe to you, who eat while others go hungry!” they called out to senate staff.
Saying “Congress won’t eat until Gaza eats,” over 60 Christians from across the U.S. are nonviolently blockading the Senate Cafeteria to pressure the Senate and their staffers to support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, restore aid to UNRWA, and end military funding to Israel. #CFPAction
