in case you missed it
yesterday the US HOUSE VOTED TO HIDE Gaza death toll statistics.
this is far morethan just an institucional genocide denial, this is one half of American Congress giving a foreing nation green light to kill with billions of dollars and blind eye.
this measure, if passeed in Senate, would make illegal for the US state Department to cite genocide stadistics.
in other words, illegal to do its job.
The thing is that getting Palestine free is both very difficult but not as difficult as getting South Africa free. South Africa had more resources than Israel does, it could hold out so much longer and still the apartheid was ended by people working tirelessly and boycotting and pushing for divestment and sanctions. These methods will work for freeing Palestine too.
I know it doesn't feel like there have been many successes, but all the politicians are feeling the pressure. Pressure that we are able to sustain and even increase as we come up with new initiatives and convince new people to join.
One of the reasons they're resisting our pressure so strongly is because they know that when we see gains we will push harder, we will continue to push until the stones falling becomes a rock fall and Palestine's freedom is secured. They know if we get a taste of the power we can wield we'll turn that onto freeing Congo too. They know we're unhappy and have been for a long time and their very secure system starts to look a lot less secure when we start mobilising to change things.
I feel I should specify when I talk about the vast majority of Israelis supporting this genocide it's not to call for violence of them or even to demonise them. It's to call attention to Israel having a genocidal education system which dehumanises Palestinians from the moment Israelis start school. Ilan Pappé did a study in 1994 of the Israeli education system and raised the alarm that it would raise a generation who are even worse than those who first colonised Palestine in 1948. We're seeing the truth of that now.
I raise this point because we're seeing this attempt by politicians and the media to claim that it's just Netanyahu who is to blame for this genocide and not a systematic problem that requires boycotting, divestments and sanctions to push them to correct. This lie is being pushed because they do not want to change the status quo which allows for Israel to steal Palestinian land and homes and keep Palestinians under military occupation.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club, the occupation released the prisoner Moaziz Abayat after several months of detention, where he was subjected to a systematic assassination attempt during his time in “Ofer” Prison.
He faced systematic and brutal assaults that included the breaking of all his limbs, visible in circulating videos, and he was left without treatment until his liberation.
It is worth noting that Moaziz is the nephew of martyr Hussein Abayat, who was martyred 24 years ago in 2000 during the Second Intifada. His uncle was one of the early founder’s of Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades in the southern West Bank and became one of the occupation’s most wanted resistance fighters due to his executing of several significant resistance operations which killed and wounded many zionist soldiers.
After receiving treatment for the first time since his abduction, the barbaric torture Moaziz endured and witnessed at the hands of zionist soldiers has become even clearer in a video where he is heard saying,
“They killed me…put me in a bag, in a black bag. I have been martyred…”

the fact that y'all r ignoring the suffering of palestinians just like your 'leader' is so funny that next time u see this post Palestine no longer exist, keep that in mind we don't have much more time.
I don’t think you all understand the absolute fucking torture that Palestinians are facing from Israel. Could you, just for one second, pull your head out of your ass and analyze your cushy, privileged life. Just for one moment, think about how good you have it. You have a home, food, water, you’re not dying of infection from untreated wounds or running with no place to go from constant bombings. You don’t know what it feels like to have your skin burnt off by white phosphorous. You don’t know what it feels like to have your limbs cut off without anesthesia. You don’t know what it feels like to watch your dead children get pulled out of rubble, in pieces. You don’t know what it feels like to drink dirty water and go days without eating. You don’t know what it feels like to watch the neighborhood you grew up in be wiped off the face of the earth. You don’t know what it feels like to hear nothing but screams and the rumbling off bombs going off. You don’t know, because you have it SO much better than you realize. The people, the human beings, in Palestine are being brutalized and you couldn’t be bothered. Feel shame, feel guilt. If there is a hell, we are all going there.
Israel detains hundreds of children every day without question. They take children to prison and torture them.
There is no ceasfire. Every day Israel detains many times more than it releases.
Israel is a terrorist organization established under the name of the state.
This is the moment israeli soldiers shot and killed 9 year old Palestinian Adam al-Ghoul in Jenin in the West bank.
They also killed another child today ( Basil al wafa) a bit later. See the child who pulled Adam, he had to hide because israeli forces were still shooting. In Jenin, no hamas, no ceasefire. When zionists say they want peace this is what they mean, Palestinians going back to being killed in silence.
Some of y'all are just so insensitive, this is not some Twitter drama and it shouldn't be reduced to Twitter drama
Reblog to tell zionists to fuck off your blog. If you say you aren't a zionist but still get offended then uhhh sorry hun but this is exactly for you <3

💔Please listen and help me. 💔
✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #365 )✅️
I am Mahmoud from Gaza💔, specifically Khan Yunis. I hope that no one will experience the suffering I am experiencing. After the collapse of the last ceasefire, Israel launched strangely manufactured and developed missiles. We are not human beings to them. Every moment we hear a sound. The planes, the sound of the bombing, and the crossings are all closed in an indescribable way. No one can bring a cup of water into Gaza🇵🇸. We are dying of hunger, bombing, and burning. Every minute, thousands of us are dying. The least you can do is donate so that we eat food that is not even good.Prices here are very expensive and things are more dangerous than you expect💔. You do not know the extent of what we are suffering. We are hungry and we are losing our families and loved ones at every moment. Please do not leave me like this. Help and donate as much as you can. I deserve a better life.

What could i say? We all know what they're doing, we all know they wont stop until somebody actually stops them.
FUCK THE FAKE STATE OF ISRAEL.
Bethlehem, Palestine
This was my favourite part of the House of Banksy art exhibition
I never was in Bethlehem/Palestine, I always wanted to see the local people there and Banksy's hotel. But I was very happy to see even the replica of one of the hotel rooms and the art works in it.
It is called the hotel with the worst view. They even tried to make a window that should replicate the ugly ass wall with Banksy's art.
Sadly Banksy's hotel closed shortly after the genocide in Gaza started, I mean 2 million lives are literary starved to death or constantly attacked after all... what even more devastating is, that the genocide will continue for almost a year a now. It is just sickening to see that no politician gives zero fucks about it ...
Here are more information about the wall.
Also one of my fav artworks:
And one of Banksy's recent art works ... it was call for a ceasefire. He posted it on his Instagram. But shortly after he posted it, a fucker stole the stop sign wtf ...
Streetart is made for everyone to see and enjoy. But it is also completely unprotected and has a short live ...
I need to be honest with myself ... him being pro palestine and including palestinian people in his projects is my main reason why I love his artwork so much.
He built this the Walled of Hotel to help the local people and even made an art gallery inside the hotel to show more about Palestinian history and Palestinian art. The money the hotel earns was used to fund local project and help the Palestinian people.
This deserves another re-post in light of the escalation in the West Bank. #Neverforget
On January 2, Netanyahu declared that: “Our problem is finding countries willing to absorb Gazans and we are working on it.”
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich corroborated: “encouraging voluntary immigration” because “two million people [in Gaza] wake up every morning with the desire to destroy the State of Israel.”
Intelligence Minister Gila Gamliel told Zman that “voluntary migration is the best and most realistic program for the day after the fighting ends.”
Thus, Israel's official discourse adopted the term “voluntary migration”, even though we know that there is nothing “voluntary” about it, after all, bombing houses and hospitals, punishing the people collectively through starvation, pushing the people to the Egyptian border and other areas that were supposed to be safe, but in the end they are invaded and bombed like all the others were, among everything we have seen so far, there are no actions that give meaning to such a term (a term that should not even exist, just like the Terrorist and Illegitimate State of Isnotreal).
Because there's no enthusiasm from Western allies, Israeli diplomats are scouring the world in search of governments willing to welcome Palestinian refugees.
There are no effective actions that punish Isnotreal and/or bring some justice to Palestine, the USA always vetoes the votes (useless and which have already become jokes) for a ceasefire resolution and the northern countries issue mere notes of repudiation as if, like Canada, were not erasing Palestine from their official documents.
It is worth remembering that the Zionist movement in its beginnings considered transferring the world's Jews to the African continent, to establish their own state there, before choosing Palestine as their destination for colonialism. And as Theodor Herzl, father of Zionism, said: “Antisemites will become our most reliable friends, antisemitic countries our allies.”
Israel's Heritage Minister Amihai Eliyahu said on January 5 that settlers and soldiers “must find ways even more painful than death” to “get rid of” Gaza's Palestinians. It's not difficult to draw parallels with the N4z1 movements in Germany.
Two new designs for my fundraising shop, found here and here. The first is the word فلسطين (Palestine in Arabic) edited into a simple open source dove design. The second is a vintage photo of stained glass windows in a mosque in Bethlehem (West Bank) from the Library of Congress. The original is pretty faded and dull, I messed with the saturation and contrast to make it pop more for a sticker design. It's pretty low resolution so I only have it available on stickers and a couple other small products. I really love this photo, it looks like it would make a great metal album cover (kinda reminds me of Sick With Bloom).
ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining in America until it's safe for her to travel back home and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
Here are the above displayed on a couple products:
You can find my full shop here. Here is a small sample of some of my other designs:

I've been saving this bubble graphic for a while, I found this nice Dome of the Rock image on Pixabay and I really love how the colors work together! I think it would make a great sticker.

The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem. It's the oldest surviving work of Islamic architecture. The iconic gold color was actually added starting in 1959, before that the dome was covered in blackened lead.
Here is the above printed on a few things (shirts, sticker, pin, hoodie):

Wildcat Wearing Keffiyeh
This one was inspired directly by my Palestinian friend, he's a labor activist and he has done some incredible work in various unions (and non-union movements) over the years. He's nice enough to have put some serious time into labor organizing for free for employees of organizations he doesn't even work for just because he hates seeing people being treated unfairly. When I tell you he is the nicest person I have EVER met I really mean it. I actually met him through his labor activism.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from these will go to this wonderful man to help him afford to bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. The cat is found here and here (on shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc). All designs found HERE (click on each to see more product options).
For those not familiar, this is the black cat/wildcat/sabo-tabby, an old union symbol likely designed by IWW member Ralph Chaplin. It is associated with sabotage, wildcat (unprotected) strikes and other radical labor actions.
By the way, did you know that Israeli trade unions have historically fought against the Arab workforce?
The tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) pattern I made has been more popular as a sticker than I expected, so I have just added the top two versions designed primarily to be used as stickers (also available as pins and magnets).
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.
These designs and a bunch more are found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!
New Palestine Designs
I made a few designs this weekend with some open source patterns and a tatreez design I drew in FlossCross. Mostly made with clothing prints in mind, but also available on stickers, notebooks, phone cases, mugs, etc.
My best friend is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. ALL PROCEEDS from these designs will go first and foremost to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely, and after that helping his other loved ones weather this war.
All designs found here (Redbubble will randomize what it shows the print on, click on each product to see more options). I'm adding new ones roughly daily. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far!
Dove Wearing Keffiyeh
Thank you so much to the anonymous customer from Dublin who bought this keffiyeh-wearing dove on a shirt yesterday!
ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales through my Redbubble shop will go to my Palestinian best friend (the most amazing person I've ever known) to help him bring his girlfriend over to America. Any left over will be used to help his family/other loved ones affected by the war.
Design found here, all Palestine designs found here. Available on shirts, stickers, hats, notebooks, mugs, pins, etc. New designs being added pretty much daily.
