People in Gaza have been saying this would happen since the very start, as soon as the occupation started corralling everyone into the southern part of the strip they said this would happen. We watched it happen as the “safe” zones grew smaller and smaller and every time Rafah was targeted by air strikes even before this. And no one who could actually stop this lifted a finger. It’s been 129 days.
LETS GOOOO
today a small group of around 80 pro palestine protesters managed to shut down the bay bridge, which connects the cities of san francisco and oakland, for around 6 hours.
their strategy? they parked their cars in a horizontal line to block west bound traffic, and then proceeded to throw their keys into the water bellow.
joe biden is currently visiting san francisco for the apec summit.
Don't you fucking dare say that Egyptians don't want Palestinians in Egypt!
Walk the streets of Egypt and ask. Everyone will tell you we would love if we can have them here and save Palestine. Egypt has a demonic government. If it weren't for the fear of disappearing or being killed on the spot the second you say something, we would have walked through the borders and open them ourselves.
Ramdan is less than a month away. We usually start the celebrations way before that. We can't. Egyptians are all miserable. People can't face the guilt. I know people who can't talk about it because they won't stop crying.
We welcomed the Syrians. We welcomed the Sudanese. You think we won't welcome the Palestinians?! You know nothing of our culture. We were raised on loving Palestinians. Most would probably hug you instantaneously if they find out you're Palestinian. It's actually a problem😂. Some Palestinians hate it.
We are having an economic crisis right now. Some genuinely think we deserve it. Morally speaking. For not helping Palestinians. And despite of such crisis, we will welcome them.
We have a saying, "Let us starve together. At least we can keep each other company!"
However,
It's not about whether they are welcome or not. It's about them being departed from their homes! It's their right to stay!
And we know most of them will stay till death
So, No. I would welcome Palestinians in my home, but we are fighting for their right of their own home

🕊️ every year in my lifetime, I've seen an ugly blue british flag printed on single use cups and ugly tshirts on January 26th, celebrating stolen land, stolen language and stolen children. this year in particular, I feel the need to make my politics clear through art, as the horrors of colonialism and genocide are mirrored internationally in Palestine. I want to be clear, you do not get to enjoy my art without knowing clearly what my politics are, and you do not get to ignore my politics as an inherent part of my art. no one is free until everyone is free 🖤💛❤️🇵🇸

LITTLE KIDS, SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THIS. THE ZIONIST OCCUPATION AND ITS SUPPORTERS ARE ROBBING CHILDREN OF THEIR CHILDHOOD AND MERCILESSLY MASS KILLING THEM.
This isn't the first time. Last year, the IDF would leave behind explosives disguised to look like toys (they did this in Lebanon as well)
