Happening Right Now In NYC - Massive Protest, Hundreds Of Arrests At An Emergency Sit-in Calling For

Happening right now in NYC - massive protest, hundreds of arrests at an emergency sit-in calling for an immediate ceasefire (10/27/23)

I forgot to post my daughter Ogerpon here. I'm sorry tumblr audience.

easing myself back into drawing w some mh nonsense ^^

Opala Arsithe, poison based elder dragon

Some volcanic springs temple zone :)

old drawing of Opala Arsithe for context ^^

Provided is a non comprehensive list of people who ARE allowed to give her scratchies.

one of my favorite things about my job that i can say to people that sounds utterly ridiculous but is technically 100% true is that one of our sea turtles keeps trying to get me to commit a felony on her behalf and gets SUPER cranky when i won’t do it

a literal ad i got on my phone here in israel

"you can still save them!

hundreds of dogs and cats in Gaza are awaiting our rescue,"

also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.

of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.

of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.

of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.

of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.

and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”

im really curious about people leaving israel rn! is it cool if i ask you some questions?

do you think people leaving israel like you did are mostly sabras or mostly people who recently made aliyah? are they more secular or religious, like antizionist orthodox jews?

and do you think the phenomenon of people leaving might end up weakening what voices exist on the israeli left, or lessening the chance that when netanyahu is finally ousted (as he better fucking be), a more left wing coalition might be able to step in, because less leftists would be in israel to vote?

thanks for any answers you can give, and i hope you take care of yourself - moving to a different country can be a lot to deal with!

thats a lot of complicated questions lets see...

obviously youd get a more accurate answer to a lot of these from literally any googling but these are answered from my experience and knowledge

* most people i see leaving israel are immigrants with double citizenships, though i am sabras and leaving with very few safeties ^^;

i heard that theres a lot of other people leaving also and i believe it but god do i not know

* i can only imagine most people leaving are left leaning.

if youre far enough right youre gonna want to stay to support israel i think

though there are scared people leaving from both sides to some capacity

* i feel like this can only lead to another strong right wing boost in israel and i dont know what one could do about that.

its not our country, not our israel, i dont care how left leaning its government ends up being.

hopefully this tired answer helps
