Settler Colonialism - Tumblr Posts

Al-Jazeera reporter: Israeli bulldozers shot and ran over pregnant women in labour. They were carrying white flags and attempting to reach a hospital in Tal Al Zaatar, Gaza. [@/ Timesofgaza on X. 12/22/23.]

I will NEVER forget about an IOF Minister agreeing with an article on X, which stated that because Palestinian women were part of the "Hamas infrastructure," that their very existences essentially pose a threat and the author insinuated (if not directly said) that Palestinian women must all be collectively punished/or killed... I just... how can anyone turn away from this sadistic and depraved settler state? It's just beyond my comprehension. They're monsters -the IOF are not human.

“OhH maH GUrrrD aRe yOu SaYiNg IsRaEL hAs No RiGhT to EXisT”

You bet I am. Decolonize Palestine. All of it. From the River to the Sea. Uproot Settler Colonialism from our region. End Zionism.

Since the US and the West love Zionists so much to the point of worship, they can give them their own lands. Be my guest.

"Gaza now has the largest population of child amputees in the world." [@/abrahammatar on X. June 5th, 2024.]

Don't stay silent

Free Palestine from the Settler Colony of Israel.

This is a picture of Montaser Al Sawaf, another Palestinian journalist killed by the IOF:

I am continually enraged by the normalization of Palestinian people's deaths in mainstream western media, and the constant dehumanization of each of their lives. They are not just numbers -they are people who have dreams, ambitions, livelihoods, families, friends, hobbies, and interests.

The IOF is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, is breaking dozens of international laws and UN Conventions -is committing mass genocide -but a small fraction of people in power get to determine the narrative of 'who is the REAL victim here,' by reinforcing IOF and American propaganda which sides with settler-colonial violence -and it is beyond abhorrent.

A new round of Israeli bombardment targeting al-Shifa hospital earlier today killed 26 Palestinians who sought refuge in the medical complex. [@/ Hind_Gaza on X. 12/18/23.]

Such an important thread!

We know how Palestinian people are treated in IOF prisons is beyond criminal -the IOF are war criminals and have and continue to commit heinous and systematic crimes against humanity -this is calculative mass cruel and unusual torture and punishment:

I am once again at a loss for words. From @/ democracynow [@/ JoshuaPHill on X. 12/22/23.] [Image description: "Satellite imagery shows Israel's razing of Gaza agricultural land." A 'before' picture shows an aerial picture of lush green fields and areas of healthy crops, as well as the location of a greenhouse. An 'after,' photo shows an aerial view of a completely desolate land -there are no crops, no greenhouse, and no greenery.]

Gaza Notifications on X, formerly known as Twitter states: A Palestinian father says goodbye to his children who were killed in Israel's air strike this morning. (source: @ gazanotice) [Video description: A Palestinian father gently cradles his lifeless daughter in his arms; lifting open her eyes to see them one last time. He stares at her affectionately before hugging her closely for some time. After holding her tightly, he hands her gently over to the medics, who to wrap her tiny body into a plastic covering first, which is then proceeded by a white cloth. The father then goes on his knees to stroke the head of his lifeless son, with whom his little sister was placed next to him.]

If you have been silent, if you continue to do so -and if you are complicit in Israeli settler-colonial violence and genocide, then I have no words for you other than you lack humanity and empathy and should be ashamed of yourselves. I keep telling people not to look away, to bear witness. As many Palestinian activists have said -grieve those who were killed, and fight like hell for the living, and that's what we need to do -still need to do because this isn't over.

This doesn't end at a ceasefire. Israel needs to be held accountable for their war crimes, for this genocide, for the terrorism they have rained on the people of Gaza and in West Bank for their own selfish, vile Zionist agenda. Don't look away -keep posting, re-posting. Sign petitions, go to sit-ins and protests when it is accessible to you. Write to your politicians, boycott (and yes that includes Black Friday and Cyber Monday); because there are SO many more important things going on in this world, and you should care.

This absolutely disgusting piece of shit has, once again, openly declared what other war crimes he is going to commit, but yet again, no one is going to batter an eyelid.

“We have already killed thousands of terrorists.”

No. You’ve killed thousands of children. You’ve wiped out entire families. You are massacring innocent, actually innocent, people.

Not announcing when? So, basically you are yet again going to drop bombs on innocent civilians, hoping their Hamas, but ultimately not giving a flying fuck if they aren’t?

Fuck you, and fuck you ‘government’.

You will answer to Allah SWT on the day of judgement, where you will pay for all that you do and have done. You are not above Allah, there is no one above Allah. You will bear witness to His fury.

Eye on Palestine

The IOF are terrorists and war criminals -void of humanity. Yet another tragedy, and people still turn away from this disproportionate amount of violence Palestinian people have been and are facing. I'm beyond deeply disturbed, this is just heartbreaking.
