Dear, Free World: Apathy No More!

Dear, free world: Apathy No More!

When piles and piles of people are apathetic when it comes to the genocide unfolding in Gaza, be the source of relief, hope, and support for the stranded helpless besieged people there. Astonishingly, our life in Gaza turned upside down in an instant?! We woke up one day to realize that a massive-scale war was to be launched against more than 2 million people in Gaza. My Facebook timeline was filled with countless posts in which Gazans publicly asked for forgiveness before their expected imminent mass murder. Can you imagine what it feels like reading all these scary posts and wondering if you should say a final 'Goodbye'?!

Then, Gazans ventured on their own version of Via Dolorosa (Way of Suffering) which included multiple forced displacements, acute life-threatening shortages of water and food, lost jobs, humiliation, mass destruction, injuries, and murder.

It is beyond shocking and sickening how desensitized our world has become to see all the horrifying images of children's body parts scattered everywhere and not lift a finger to stop this ruthless and inhumane genocide. I can say with all certitude on behalf of my people in Gaza that we have lost hope in all the vile desensitized regimes and politicians of the world.

However, we still have strong faith in the lovers and supporters of our just cause who never cease to shower us with their heartwarming words of support and uplifting wishes. Our belief in your humanity and support for our just cause drives us to ask you for help in this worst crisis in our history since the Nakba.

Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to be a Magical Girl

While I’d want this concept to mostly be a lighthearted comedy, since that’s more my forte, the north star (heh) of this premise would be the loss of passion for something you once loved, feeling the pressure/expectations of sticking with something that you’re “a prodigy” at and the subsequent burnout. How hard do you fight for an old passion or at what point do you just let it go? Is it even okay to give up when so many people are counting on you? 

Sounds bleak but I promise I’m an optimist and that will always reflect in my work :)

Something we should all understand almost a year into a genocide is that what israel means by "peace" and "ceasefire" is for Palestinians to completely submit and be ethnically cleansed. Anything short of that is unacceptable to israel, evidenced by their consistent shooting down of actual peace talks and negotiations.

But israel's attitude and actions is a microcosm of its imperial overlord's attitudes and actions, and especially the united states. "We don't negotiate with terrorists" is precisely what encapsulates this idea. No negotiation, only capitulation. Who is a terrorist? Anyone we want. This idea steeps into the average usamerican, knowingly or not. That's why nominally progressive people attack Palestine protestors, abstainers, third party voters. "Peace" means "vote for my candidate because xyz and if you don't, you're [word you can sub in terrorist for]". An economic base of imperialism begets a superstructure of imperialism which reinforces that economic base.

Banks in the US are actively complicit in the forced starvation of Palestinians. Palestinians have known since the Holy Land 5 that anything we do for Palestine can get us sent to jail and it's a risk we have been willing to take. But now banks even refuse to allow us to send aid to a population that has nothing. Almost every public and private sector powerhouse in the world intends to wipe out the Palestinian people and Palestine and they're more than content in lending a hand in it.
