After some confusing paperwork and talking to a social worker. I have free healthcare till next year so I can renew it. I have all my pills except one. Walgreens is out of stock. Till then. I am complete for now. Lucky me. Alhamdulilah.
so, I have some ideas—
crap, i don't even watch the shibuyan incident, yet bur hell this is made me crying. See you in Malaysia Nanami..
"Malaysia... That's right, Malaysia. I should go to Kuantan. I'll build a house on an empty beach. The books I have bought but never read has piled up like a mountain. I want to read them slowly, as if I'm retrieving the lost time."
呪術廻戦 S2 Ep. 18: Right and Wrong
Natalie Portman is the most popular Israeli celebrity in Hollywood. She is a vegan and a so called activist.
And talks about feminism and how she admitted she has white privileges. She said she wants to debunk the police because her colored friends don't get the same treatment as her. But, she is quiet about Palestine and is not saying anything. She labels herself white in America but always supports israel. She admitted she has blood from European ancestry who moved to Israel due to the Holocaust for shelter. Proving that Palestine was the original country.
It's ironic that to her animal's lives are more sacred to her than Palestinians. I used to have gifs of the movie tale of love and darkness on my blog. The point of view of a Jewish boy in Israel. Funny how Palestinian movies gets cancelled. So, I watched it. The main character wanted to tell a pretty Arab girl that both people should live in Israel in peace. Ironically. He mentioned in the book and not the movie ....
This movie lied to me. I am so disappointed.
So call me a cunt and pos and whatever. These were celebrities I used to worship and was stupid to believe in their lies. I hate Hollywood.
The insanely stupid arguments I get for being Israel-
Go back to where to came from- I’m living in my homeland. You go back to where you come from.
Your oppressing so just go die- so are you saying every American person should die because America has oppressed Africans, and Native Americans- yet you only say Israelis should die.
Ceasefire now- once the hostages are home, seems you don’t care about them but we do. Hamas has broken every ceasefire in the past, so no we won’t do it on their terms, we’ll do it once we get our people back.
Children are dying- rockets are falling on Israel and you don’t care. If you wanted to help the children you would force hamas to let them go to a safe space, but instead you allow Hamas to use their people as human shields to justify this war.
Israelis are white- most Israelis are from the Middle East, whether they are from Iran, Yemen, they are Druz, Bedouin etc. they are Ethiopian Jews , Moroccan Jews. Also European Jews aren’t white, not by European standards. As of now, Jews are the minority that revives the most hatred in the United States.
A lot of Palestinians don’t want a two state solution, they want to kill all Israelis and you don’t criticize them. You let them take down posters of innocent civilians, you let them cheer on our deaths. You let them attack Jewish people- and yet you call yourselves progressive.
The word “Palestine” means “brave soldier” in the ancient Canaan language.
I would die in 3 months if this thing happening to me because i would be boring af
in Gaza💔😢😭 even animals are in fear and pain...

MANIFESTING THE DINBO BABY IN CANON
The news and videos coming from Gaza today are so beyond horrifying and grim.
Israeli jets bombed thousands of civilians fleeing to South Gaza on a route they were told was safe.
Al-Buraq school, where thousands of displaced civilians took refuge was attacked and at least 20 have been killed.
Israeli forces open fired at Al-Quds hospital. One was killed and the majority of wounded were children.
Israeli tanks have multiple hospitals in Gaza surrounded, trapping all those taking refuge inside.
Is there anything I can do to help Palestinians besides call my representatives and beg them to stop killing people?
This is a great question. There are a few things you can do—just off the top of my head:
BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) https://bdsmovement.net/
Direct Action https://www.palestineaction.org/
Urge your University/School/Organization to put out a statement denouncing Israel
Organize a Protest/Participate in a local one
You might already be doing this but while calling your reps, tell them that as a voter, you're unwilling to support them in the upcoming election unless they urge the White House to take a stand against Israel and stop funding them
Share art/writing/films around Palestinian culture
If you're part of a union, ask them what they're doing to urge their industry leaders to take a stand against Israel + pressure the White House OR urge them to start a strike/walkout/etc if they're not doing anything already
Talk with your friends IRL about Palestine, whether in an activist capacity or watching a movie or literally anything
Reach out to a mosque to see if you can help them with anything
See if your city/state council has put out a statement in support of Gazans. If not, try to push them to do so.
Donate to Palestine Legal or Direct Action if you have some money to spare
KEEP TALKING ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know some of these don't feel like they have as big of an impact on helping Palestinians, but we do need to make an effort not to forget their humanity in the face of continued erasure and the media's sensationalist rhetoric.
Talking on social media and posting—while not seeming like a lot—does SO much. I know in USAmerica, it's like yelling into a void, but political analysts are saying that most of the "Global South" has completely lost any amount of goodwill it may have had the past few years. Hopefully, countries will start to put sanctions and embargoes en masse on the US and Israel soon.
Our goals here are BOTH short-term and long-term. We hope for the life and liberation of the Palestinian people, so anything that you can think of might help at some point in the future is encouraged to at least try.
If anyone else has any more ideas, feel free to reblog and add on. Thank you for asking, and here is to a liberated Palestine where Palestinians can live and thrive without fear.
The little boy, although injured and covered in blood, smiling and said, "This is a test from Allah , Allah wants to forgive our sins because He loves us, we will be cleansed and go to heaven." It teaches us an important lesson. 😭
The picture shows a bag containing a body or remains, and it is labeled: "Oday Abu Mohsen (or maybe Hasan), just one day old, he hasn't been issued a birth certificate yet, but a death certificate has been issued for him."
Oday, one-day old, was murdered by Israeli forces in an airstrike that targeted his house. He didn’t even get a birth certificate yet, but he now has a death certificate though! #Gaza
Palestinians are not "animals."
They are not "children of darkness."
Little kids are rescuing cats and trying to comfort them when they themselves are terrified.
A doctor broke down when his father and brother came into the trauma unit.
And several of his colleagues hugged and gathered to comfort him.
Journalists are playing with babies.
Doctors are refusing to evacuate hospitals because their patients can't and refuse to leave them.
There's a little boy who gives tea to the journalists and thanks them for spreading their stories.
He's displaced at the hospital, his home is gone.
A kid was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and he said kids in Gaza don't grow up.
Kids are writing their names on their arms so they can be identified.
Momin Kireka is a Palestinian journalist who was disabled by an Israeli attack in 2008.
And despite the difficulty in moving around, he vows to continue to show the world the truth.
Awni, a young Palestinian boy has a gaming YouTube channel he loved so much.
He was killed in the bombing.
Mohammed Sami was an artist who's dream was to open an art gallery.
He was playing with the kids to raise their spirits. And the next day he was killed.
They are victims.
They are going through unimaginable horrors and still find it in their hearts to be kind.
They have hopes and dreams just like you and I.
They are people.
And they deserve to be recognised and known as such.
I don't know what to say. I mean, i don't like study but the kids need it like me who need it. But they just cannot continue doing that. At least the kids already in the better place.
