No Pride In Genocide - Tumblr Posts
I guess the genocide in Gaza doesn’t count
None of us are free until all of us are free
So I’ve recently remembered that I have a linktree which I haven’t actually used since like 2020/2021, so perfect place to share some of my saved links to support Palestine right? I suppose you can imagine my surprise when I already find a “FREE PALESTINE” header, one I don’t remember adding as a teen in the throes of lockdown and high school, right at the bottom.
I won’t try and pretend like I do remember adding any such thing, or sharing calls for donations for drinking water for Gaza, or for a hospital in East Jerusalem. I won’t act as if I had done the right thing and educated myself, because if I had back then, maybe I might’ve gotten involved in the criticism of Zionism and Israel whole lot sooner into the influx of atrocities and war crimes they’ve committed in “retaliation”. And maybe I would’ve understood just how much control the Israeli have had over the Palestinians sooner, for why would they have needed funds for suitable drinking water in early 2021? And maybe I would’ve known why I was sharing a call for aid for Al Makassed Hospital, which was raided by IOF soldiers dressed as women who sound bombed the area, killing 150 and injuring 600 Palestinians mid-2021. And maybe I would’ve known of Al Quds Open University, of which the hospital was associated with, and was bombed in November last year.
And sure, I could go on, but I won’t. Because the babies burned and decapitated and dismembered in the bombings in UNICEF’s camps in Rafah, the “designated safe zone”, and in their homeland wouldn’t have been alive then, let alone grow to learn from their elders who would have lived through it. Little Hind Rajab, who would’ve been alive then but too young to truly recall, won’t care, because she was murdered alone with her already dead relatives and two brave men who were meant to be allowed to save her. The innocent bodies marred by this so called “war”, the bleak eyes cursed by death, the broken bodies and immovable spirits of displaced persons seeking safety from the greed of the world - they won’t be thinking of matters of the past.
I genuinely don’t know what to think anymore. My heart aches for the Palestinians, as it does for the Congolese and the Sudanese and the Uyghurs and all victims of the manifestations of the greed of humanity. All I can wish for is for humanity to open their eyes, their hearts, to properly watch our world burn and feel the same aches as I do, as so little yet so many do. To take those aches and build the world anew, not from rubble, but from the foundations of our collective morals and drive against injustice and for a sustainable future.
And maybe I’ve written too much and no one will truly read this all, especially since I haven’t entirely censored myself here. But I refuse to put the effort in to make a tldr because I want people to read this all, I want to see just how far my voice can and will go.
The Operation Olive Branch spreadsheet is at the top of my linktree, right under the ‘FREE PALESTINE’ header that started these thoughts. If you’d like to look at the links I mentioned, I’ve kept them as the bottom three, I overall encourage you to research into them if you have the mental capacity to, or to at least keep up to date with the world today. I most likely won’t be updating that linktree again, so please seek other accounts and people who have more resources and material to keep educated.
As always, none of us are free until all of us are free. Choose the right side of history, make a stand against injustice.
I don’t know guys I think that if I’m in an mmorpg war zone game with the hand-eye coordination of a toddler, I’m more likely to be wary of and die because the opposite team rather than my own team I’ve known for years and who hate the fact that I’m a shit player - even if the opposing team treats their own shit players nicely and would maybe help me out so they can get info out of me and win the game
We’ve put pride month on pause in solidarity of other prominent injustices and similarly marginalised groups before, we can and will do it again until there’s no need to. There is no queer liberation without solidarity. There is no pride in genocide. None of us are free until all of us are free
As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.
I am Maha from Gaza, Palestine, and this is Ahmed, my husband, my children, Jowan and Khalil, my father-in-law, and my mother-in-law.
Here's our story - Since the morning of October 7th, our lives have never been the same. Everything in our lives has been disrupted. On the first night since the war began, our house was partially destroyed by a very close Israeli strike. Despite the damage, we stayed in the house for two more days until suddenly and without preparation, we were told to evacuate our homes and we would be in danger. From this moment our endless journey of suffering and pain began. Throughout this journey, we later learned that our three-storey house, where my family and my uncle’s family lived, was completely destroyed as a result of the bombing.
Despite all this, my father-in-law suffered a broken back. His heart could not bear all this pain. Due to the scarcity of medicine and the lack of medical resources in hospitals, his condition worsened even more and he was unable to walk.
Suddenly my brother was martyred, and parting from him was very difficult for me, and the situation was even more difficult for my children. My eldest daughter, Joan, kept crying and wanting to go to her uncle, and they could not believe that he had gone and would never return.
Our future has become unknown, and our present is unbearable and unlivable by human standards. We are stuck in a harsh reality every moment. We live in a constant state of explosions, bullets raining down on us, artillery shells, and warplanes that bombard us with devastating missiles every day. In addition to our continuing suffering to this day: the lack of resources, humanitarian aid, medicine, and food. We barely find food for my children, as they eat one meal during the day and spend the rest of the day crying.
Here are my kids enjoying life before October 7th.
This is the cry of a mother and father. We hope that our children will be given the opportunity to live in peace and security and have access to food and a safe life like the rest of the children of the world everywhere.
Maybe this fundraising effort is like a beacon in the darkness, our sole source of hope that we hold onto tightly. I urge the world to listen to my plea and the sorrowful cries of my Gaza kin. We desperately require the helping hand that can dry our tears and lead us to safety.
Your contribution is more than just money; it's a chance to reconstruct life and illuminate a brighter future. Join us in shaping a tale of hope, as we rely on your support to begin afresh.
The purpose of the fundraising campaign.. https://gofund.me/1cbc3739
The objective of this fundraising drive is to secure the passage of my family, through the Rafah Crossing to Egypt. Presently, this journey necessitates £5000 per person. This campaign stands as our sole opportunity for survival, and I earnestly implore your aid during this pivotal juncture. Rest assured, I will furnish you with a detailed breakdown of the expenses, vowing transparency, and lucidity throughout.

Commentary on the Aaron Bushnell incident...
Palestinos asesinados por Israel en la Franja de Gaza. No es guerra, ES GENOCIDIO. ¡NO SON NÚMEROS!
Palestinians murdered by Israel in the Gaza Strip. It is not war, IT IS GENOCIDE. THEY ARE NOT NUMBERS!
Please donate to them if you can. It would mean the world to them and help save their lives.
