[ID: A keffiyeh, also spelled kuffiya, is a square-shaped cotton headdress with a distinctive chequered pattern worn in many parts of the Arab world. The black-and-white variant, worn by Palestinian men and women, has come to symbolise the Palestinian struggle for self-determination, justice and freedom. The olive-leaves pattern represents perseverance, strength and resilience. The fishnet pattern represents Palestinian fishers and the people’s connection to the Mediterranean. The bold pattern represents trade routes with neighbouring merchants of Palestine. END ID]
[ID: "If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears" The olive tree has deep historical and cultural roots in Palestine, and its branches have been associated with peace and prosperity for centuries. The hardy trees can handle drought, subzero temperatures, frost and even fire. They are symbolic of Palestinian resilience against Israeli occupation and their connection to the land. Olive cultivation plays a crucial role in the Palestinian economy through olive oil, table olives and soap production. About 80,000 to 100,000 Palestinian families rely on the olive harvest for their income, which takes place every year between October and November. Traditionally, the harvest season is a time of festivities and joy, but tight Israeli restrictions and settler attacks overshadow it. END ID]
[ID: In 1948, Zionist military forces expelled at least 750,000 Palestinians from their homes and lands in what became known as the Nakba (“catastrophe” in Arabic). Those people took their keys with them, sure they would return. Many Palestinians still hold onto the keys to their original homes as a symbol of their hope and determination to return one day. These keys have been passed down several generations and are kept as a symbol of Palestinians’ right to return – a principle enshrined in international law that grants individuals the right go back to their homes of origin. During Israel’s latest offensive in Gaza, at least 1.5 million Palestinians have been driven out of their homes, double the number of those displaced during Nakba in 1948. For Palestinians, Nakba is not a discrete historical event. It is an ongoing process of displacement that has never stopped. END ID]
[ID: Handala is a cartoon character created by Palestinian cartoonist Naji al-Ali that reflects his own childhood refugee experience and the ongoing plight of Palestinians displaced by the Nakba. The first version of the cartoon appeared in a Kuwaiti newspaper in 1969 and was drawn facing the viewer. However, in 1973 following the October War, al-Ali started drawing Handala with his back turned to reflect how the world had itself turned its back on the Palestinians. Handala is barefoot and wears ragged clothes like the refugee camp children al-Ali remembers when he was forced to leave his village as a 10-year-old boy. Handala is named after the “handhal”, a bitter fruit that grows in the dry areas of Palestine. It grows back when cut and has deep roots. In 1987, Naji al-Ali was assassinated in London. No one has been charged with his murder. END ID]
[ID: The watermelon is perhaps the most iconic fruit to represent Palestine. Grown from Jenin to Gaza, the fruit shares the same colours as the Palestinian flag – red, green, white and black – so it is used to protest against Israel’s suppression of Palestinian flags and identity. Following the 1967 war, when Israel seized control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and annexed East Jerusalem, the government banned the Palestinian flag in the occupied territory. Although the flag has not always been banned by law, the watermelon caught on as a symbol of resistance. It appears in art, shirts, graffiti, posters and the ubiquitous watermelon emoji on social media. END ID]

Living On A Planet Where Any Government Is Allowed To Go Through With Military Action That They Know

Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.

Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.

A few ways you can donate to/support people in Palestine:

First 4 panels of an 8-panel comic. Header reads: "Jan 21st-28th. Global Strike for Palestine." The first panel reads: "Bisan Owda has called for a global strike from Jan. 21st to 28th. Do what you can to call attention to the occupation and genocide, be disruptive, and push for a ceasefire! Any amount helps! Perfectionism and defeatism don't make a difference, but taking any action on this list might." Panel 2 depicts a person walking away from speech bubbles containing a phone and a computer. Text reads: "Call out from work or school. Do it with other folks if possible, to disrupt normal operations." Panel 3 depicts a person hanging up flyers on a wall in the street. Text reads: "Share flyers and information." Panel 4 depicts a person on a phone call, and writing an email at their laptop. Text reads: "Urge political figures to take action. Threaten to rescind your support if they don't."

I don't know all the details I probably should. But I DO know that genocide is wrong. And I want this to be clear.

A little late but it's always better late than never!!

It is truly the least I could do, don't forget your Arab.org clicks, everybody!!!

!!GLOBAL STRIKE FOR PALESTINE!!

!!GLOBAL STRIKE FOR PALESTINE!!

alright guys, now that it's march 2nd, I'll refrain from posting about anything other than palestine, as shutitdownforpalestine has called for a global strike, a complete shutdown for palestine on march 2nd.

today, do not post about your interests and keep your blog flooded with posts of palestine!!

keep talking, keep donating, keep protesting, keep boycotting, call your reps, wear palestinian accessories to show your soliditary with palestine, don't buy any unessential things, spread the word, do not stay silent and do whatever you can!! even if you can't do anything on this list, one thing you can very easily do is to keep posting about palestine!! DO NOT STAY SILENT!!!!

!!!!اعملو اي حاجة، ساعدو الفلسطينيين، وحاربو الاحتلال

-

donate to the PCRF!!

donate to the UNICEF!!

donate for the pious project, an organization to help get menstural products into gaza!!

here's where you can donate gaza esims!!

if you can't donate, arab org is the best way as you don't have to pay anything to donate, just one click a day helps!! you click the button, and the ad money goes directly to the palestinian relief funds!! so whether if you can donate or not, don't forget your daily clicks on arab org!!

BDS: this is a movement to stop the international support of the occupation's genocide on palestine, and provides news of what's happening and what to boycott!!

Decolonize palestine: this provides in-depth information about palestine and it's history and origins!!

Where to send emails if you're in the USA:

USA - Tell your congress to stop fueling the Gaza genocide: email them, demand an immediate ceasefire, and demand for huminitarian aid to be allowed in gaza!!

Jewish voice for peace: use their form to send a letter to the congress to demand they focus on de-escalation instead of funding israel's genocide on palestinians!!

-

FREE PALESTINE!!! 🇵🇸🇵🇸

❗reblog this. or just like it. boost it in any way. boost any post about the situation in Palestine. this is serious.

🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉

we marched through the world,

we marched as much as we could.

but they took away our flags,

and we were left as rags,

on the street.

all powerless,

all- hopeless.

is this what we deserve?

or will they finally learn,

that it is not okay,

to ruin our day,

nevermind "day",

ruin our life, we say.

so we grew watermelons,

they've grown here for aeons.

they have our color,

for what more could we ask for?

when they simply won't let us be free,

just because they can't see,

that they are committing crime,

while a single life is worth every dime.

but we are in no need of flags,

because even as rags,

daughters to sons,

what will still grow,

are those watermelons.

~~~~~

it doesn't matter if it's good, it's about the meaning.

i'll make as many Palestine-related posts if i have to just to give people something to boost.

the Palestinians need it.

if you still think what’s going in Palestine is a war after seeing whats been going on for the past 106 days and the past 75 YEARS you can seriously fuck off. This Is a GENOCIDE. An incredibly well documented genocide that people are still refusing to acknowledge. I have seen countless videos off children crying because they lost their entire family, there are so many videos of children begging the world to do something. 30,000. That’s how many Palestinians have been lost. And that doesn’t even account for the amount that have been severely injured or the amount affected by that loss. This is not normal, stop turning a blind eye, wake up and call for a ceasefire. Bisan is calling for a global strike week from the 21st to the 28th. Stay home from work or school stop giving money to any corporations and make as much noise as you can for Palestine. If you absolutely cannot stay home from work or school do not stop talking about Palestine. Share every post about the ongoing genocide that you can. Stop posting any other forms of content, inform any one who may not know. Your silence makes you complicit. May the Palestinians live to see the end of this horror.
