And We've Come Full Circle Again

Palestinian artist Fathi Ghaben passed away yesterday at the age of 77, at Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, while awaiting permission from Israel to leave Gaza to receive proper medical care.

Fathi was born in the village of Hirbiyya, just outside the strip, in 1947.

Together with his family, Fathi was displaced in 1948 and ended up in Jabalya refugee camp, where he lived until his passing. Where Hirbiyya used to be, now stands Kibbutz Karmiya. Just imagine living as a refugee your whole life while your original home is just 10km away.

every day I think about the religious anime girls…

And how the artist drew several pro-Palestine drawings like this one

in 2014, that’s right, 2014, this did not fucking start October 7th.

The Star Wars brain rot is so powerful, I gained the ability to draw Anakin for once (or five times)

Def one of my top 3 Star Wars characters (along with Ahsoka and Eli Vanto)

Hello tumblr friend!

Sending this off to a few mutuals in efforts to be more social, so please enjoy a random ask :) No pressure to answer if you do not want to, of course!

Which SW movie is your favorite cinematically speaking, and which is your favorite just because it’s a good ol’ fashioned comfort movie? (quality be damned!) Either live action or animated.

Which is your least favorite? Could be for any reason. Wasted potential, acting, plot, directing, pacing, etc.

*pretends it’s my sw blog asking, signed @fem-anakin-skywalker*

Why hello there! You won't believe how starved I am to answer some asks! I barely get any as it is!

So let's get started!

My favourite SW movie. That'd be AOTC. Deemed the worst by many and admittedly it has many flaws and questionable choices. But dam some of you really be pissing on it. Like yes Anakin is cringe. So are many other awkward teenage boys. I don't know. There's a charm to his cringiness. It's a breath of fresh air ngl. I love my whiny little wet meow meow. So yeah it's a favourite and a comfort movie!

I'd like to watch Andor too actually but I refuse to pay a dime to the Mouse. 🥲

Now least favourite.... ROTS.

Just no. It took a look at Geneva Convention and used it as a check list. No. *sprays with water bottle* Bad movie. *hits it with a baguette* Very bad and wasted movie in an already doomed trilogy. Don't get me wrong the ✨Ideas✨ for the entire sequel trilogy are freaking awesome! Execution though... That's the biggest crime of all.

At least let them be happy in death 🥹

THANK YOU!

I have been screaming about this for a while and my heart is breaking after seeing the video of a grandfather cradling his young granddaughter dead in his arms. After putting her hair into little buns saying it was her favourite hairstyle. Calling her the “soul of my soul”. How can anyone see this action as monstrous?!

How can anyone see a truck full of naked and scared men and boys IN WINTER MONTHS and believe “they went willingly” and “they are part of Hammas” and then watch them being murdered in the middle of the desert. How can anyone watch a man be forcefully stripped naked and humiliated and violated in the worst way possible and call him a monster? If it was a woman (and believe me this is happening to them too) everyone would be on it. But because it’s men, Middle Eastern men and boys, regardless of their faith, nobody cares.

“They are Hammas”, “Men can’t be assaulted”, “They are terrorists”- Has patriarchy, islamophobia, feminism and colonialism really stripped us from any empathy?! Have we really been conditioned to see men as nothing but cannon fodder?! Expendable?? What difference does it make accusing Middle Eastern men of being terrorists than accusing black men of being criminals?

Seeing these brave doctors trying to take care of their patients amongst the ruins and rubble with minimal supplies and no anaesthesia, risking their own lives and safety to take care of everyone and seeing them labelled as monsters, inhuman and terrorists… I lose hope for humanity every time. But seeing things like this post it gives me that sliver of hope back that not everything is a lost cause yet.

Because men are always the first to go when genocide starts. Because once they get rid of the men and boys the rest are easy targets for foreign men to exploit. It’s all by design. Look into history, look up Srebrenica Massacre/Genocide that happened during Bosnia War in 1995. Men are deserving of dignity, respect and justice just as much as women are.

Your intentional blindness and unwillingness to unlearn the western propaganda and narrative is not an excuse.

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

Two of my fave things together ❤️❤️
