Where Is The International Protection The Palestinian People Is Entitled To When The Occupying Power

Where is the International protection the Palestinian people is entitled to when the occupying power violates international law and harms those it is obliged to protect. Aren't Palestinians lives worth saving?

After activists in Oakland blocked a US military ship that will deliver weapons to Israel to (and making one of the ship's worker walk off), the ship has changed its route to Tacoma, WA.

If you live near or in Tacoma, then please head to the port on Sunday before 2:30 pm then please join the mobilization and help cut the supply chain of arms export to Israel.

Israeli settlers may be "civilians" in that they're not active members of the Israeli military, but by the fact of being settlers on occupied lands, they are structurally complicit in the violence inflicted on Palestinians, just as all settler colonists have been complicit in the violence inflicted upon the colonized. Personal malice does not figure into this.

A settler who wishes not to be caught in retaliatory violence must either cease to be a settler or call for the total genocide of the Palestinian people. And I've seen an abhorrent number of people openly decide on the latter.

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.

And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.

Saint Porphyrius Church, a structure built in the 5th century and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.

It's not an accident.

Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.

Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.

It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.

Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.

But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.

There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.

Traditions they've carried for centuries.

So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.

Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

PLEASE stop engaging with zionist bots in the notes of pro-palestine posts. it does not make them stop. it does not benefit anyone. all it does is encourage them to continue saying heinous shit that may not affect you on a personal level but by and large will harm actual palestinians (+ muslims and arabs in general often times) who have to read droves and droves of hate aimed at them, their families, and their people. i thought we learned ages ago not to feed trolls - that DOES still apply in contexts like this. PLEASE STOP.
