Genocide Tw - Tumblr Posts
turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.
we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.
After cutting off telecommunications in Gaza, Israel's military invaded Kamal Adwan Hospital and buried patients alive then bulldozed them.
you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?
israel's invasion of jenin is so aggressive and inhumane that it speaks volumes how underreported it is in mainstream media. blocking aid from the refugee camps (classic starvation tactic), displacing at least 20 families in the last 24 hours alone, and now setting fire to jenin's market. they are razing streets with bulldozers. people are left without electricity, food, or water. and now they're targeting ambulances and medical staff without even trying to pretend it's erroneous or they're just terrorists. this is what complete impunity looks like
409 bodies have been recovered last I heard and the search is not over yet. You can read the horrific accounts of what Israel did to Al Shifa Hospital in this Mondoweiss article
“I think the overriding factor on Obi-Wan’s ship and all of the Jedi ships… is that I wanted them to be reminiscent of the design of the Star Destroyers and the Imperial ships, because ultimately that’s where those ships grew out of: out of the former guardians of peace and justice in the universe, which were the Jedi. I didn’t particularly want - for thematic reasons - that to shift. I wanted to keep that wedge-shape design.”
- George Lucas, Attack of the Clones, Commentary Track 2, 2002
This website is strange, it's like:
"Put your mental health first, think of happy thoughts, and know that things will get better, but also never stop talking or merely thinking about the ongoing Genocide and how YOUR OWN COUNTRY is supporting it and is unwilling to stop."
Like idk, what the fuck do you want me to do then?! Why'd you even tell me the first thing in the first place?!
Had to reblog and bring this up to vent again. This isn't about the Oscar's, even though it's relevant. But if people will say watching the Oscar's supports Genocide then they'd say the same for other distractions many use to cope as well.
"No! You're not allowed to cope with having to live through the Genocide by distracting yourself with silly stuff like TV or games nothing! You're supposed to do *absolutely nothing* other than watch countless parents and children get murdered, with your own country funding it and YOUR pathetic broke ass not being able to do anything about it! Otherwise, you are a horrible person and are supporting the new Holocaust!"
Fucking hell. I wish I was a kid with no social media, just wanting be mindless, stupid, dumb to reality again. Am I killing people by being happy with my life for 2 SECONDS?! So much for "Good mental health"...

For some reason everything obvious that's repeated over 100 times seems less important to me, regardless if it's true.
Autism Speaks is bad. Israel is causing Genocide. My exam's in 2 weeks. Water is a liquid. The sky is blue.
I get it and for some reason I have an uncontrollable urge to just yell at a person for even bringing it up anymore.
