The Men And Boys Are Innocent Too.

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.

it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.

stop. stop. it is not just the women and children of gaza. it is not just the mothers. it is also the men. the fathers, the uncles, the vendor, the neighbor, the barber. stop dehumanising them. they are also being killed. they are also being bombed. they are also losing loved ones. palestinians are also losing their fathers and brothers. stop it. stop erasing the pain and suffering of palestinian men. they deserve our love, care and voice just as much as the women and children do.

Hey, I know it's fun to make fun of Henry Kissinger. But you know what's even more fun? Donating to organizations that help undo some of the damage that Kissinger inflicted on various countries. Here's a couple of links!

Cambodian Children's Fund (I donated $50 to this one- that's enough feed 26 families by providing 5 kilograms of rice each month!)

FAFG (This is a charity that helps Guatemalans find loved ones who disappeared during the Guatemalan Civil War.)

The Halo Trust (This charity is dedicated to removing landmines in Angola. Since 1994, they've destroyed nearly 100,000 landmines!)

Children of Vietnam (This charity helps impoverished Vietnamese families.)

TECHO-Chile (A really great charity that focuses on housing and community-based projects in the slums of Chile)

Decolonize Palestine
Welcome to Decolonize Palestine, a collection of resources for anyone who wants to learn more about Palestine.

inform yourself this website helps a lot with understanding the history of the situation and why israel is committing genocide ^

innocent people are dying. there is an attempt to erase the history and culture and an entire people. there has been for years now. israel is not an innocent country who was "defending themselves", isreal is a SETTLER COLONY and has been trying to wipe out palestine for a long time, to the point where nuclear warfare has been discussed. this is not ok.

these are just a few ways to help there are literally so many posts with information and links to donate. its ok if youre unable to donate, but i think at this point theres no reason you shouldnt understand how severe and horrendous it is what israel is doing to palestine. i know it took me awhile to learn about it and i regret it, but spreading information works and i hope if you see this post and never thought to understand what is happening, that it gives you a push to do so.

Just a general reminder that the week of 18-24 February is another strike. Please don't ignore this, no one has the excuse of it being too spontaneous this time as it has been planned since the strike in January ended. Don't talk about anything other than the injustices in the world. Talk about Palestine. Talk about Sudan. Talk about the republic of Congo. Talk about West Papua. Do not let anyone forget about any of the genocides going on rn.


Tweet by Verified "The Spectator Index"

" BREAKING: Israeli PM Netanyahu's spokesman rejects calls for ceasefire and says 'we will no longer live with this reality' and that the war is not being fought to 'deter Hamas', but that instead 'we have decided that Hamas must be gone'. "


Retweeted quote above previous tweet by @nggajoongg

"The Israeli government has officially labelled every single Palestinian in the area as a Hamas member until proven otherwise, including children and infants" 

"So when they say they're killing "Hamas", they mean Palestinian civilians of all ages, not terrorists or men with weapons"
Additional tweet by @nggajoongg

"Israel has the ability to target specific houses of reporters and bomb them with their families inside, if Israel wanted to take out ONLY Hamas members, they would've done so"

"Israel refused to take back their hostages when offered, they've killed their own civilians in crossfire"

under that..

"this is not about Hamas, this is not about self defense, this is not about saving hostages or protecting civilians"

"it never was, and it never will be"

"the Israeli government is using Hamas as an excuse to start a genocide they've been wanting for decades"

"this is a genocide"

Edit: IM SO FUCKING TIRED OF IGNORANCE
