Whatever Happens Today, Whatever The Judges Decide In A Few Weeks, Thank You To This Team And Thank You

Abdalhadi Alijla - "What can I tell my 76-year-old mother and my 10-year-old niece? "The ICJ does not see ordering a ceasefire as necessary for your survival." Gazans' eyes and ears were eagerly awaiting the word "stop" or "ceasefire”."

Abla Abdelhadi: "Please keep in mind our Palestinian people in Gaza don't feel like celebrating incremental legal "wins". They're allowed to express outrage, disappointment & whatever they want. They're still under Israel's bombs, nothing for them to celebrate!"

Remi Kanazi: "The ICJ isn't the authority here. Palestinians are. It is they who have experienced the genocide. It is they who have faced the gruesome crimes detailed in those halls. It is they who continue to bury the dead, search for food & hope to dodge the next bomb dropped. Ceasefire now."

Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until *2008. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.

That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.

Anyways as Nelson Mandela said

Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉

Here's a map of the original names of Palestinian cities before its colonization.

Why does it matter to know this? Because changing the names as part of colonialism is not new in history.

Learning about the history of colonialism and imperialism is important. When we say educate yourself on these matters, it's because you need to learn to recognize patterns and prevent them from reoccurring.

The idea of the West being civilized is all a sham. The idea of Arabs being terrorists is a mere lie similar to the endless lies that have been told about Native Americans and many other indigenous groups.

If you're going to use the word 'terrorist', it's about time you use it on the real enemy.

Free Palestine.

Yup this.

And thank you South Africa and Ireland for always standing with the oppressed. They know how it feels to be oppressed by colonisers.

Long live Palestine 🇵🇸

Long live South Africa 🇿🇦

Long live Ireland 🇮🇪

It’s actually messed up how few people know about that shit, please look it up if you aren’t aware because it’s fucked and it deserves to be known

I've said this many times before -if you call yourself a feminist and you're silent about ANY person being oppressed around the world by violent dictators/regimes/governments (among many injustices) you're not a feminist. If your feminism isn't intersectional, it's not feminism -it's white feminism. If you don't know about or aren't talking about Sudan and the rampant sexual violence against Sudanese women by a terrorist genocidal militia -then GET TO KNOW and start talking about it because this is horrifying. I'm so tired of seeing mostly white women come to the frontlines of issues when it only benefits or impacts them. I'm beyond embarrassed for you.

Scars//Stories

Scars tell stories

Stories of triumph,

Stories of losses.

They say so much,

Even though they lack a mouth.

Purposeful or accidental,

There's a story to tell.

The firey explosion of a tank,

Or an accidental hit with a toy,

Tell a story nonetheless.

Jagged or clean,

Faint or dark,

Risen up or dented down,

All have a

Story to Tell.

Surgical scars,

Ment to help the living.

Methodical scars,

Meant to harm

but not kill.

Self done,

Used as a means to escape.

What? You may ask,

Only the person could tell.

War scars tell

War stories

Stories of Triumph

And shame.

Gunshots, blades, burns,

All leave their marks.

Scars from play,

Are perhaps the most entertaining.

A fall in a playground,

A hit too hard with a plastic sword.

Leaves the owner laughing,

As they tell

The stories of their scars.

Scars tell stories,

So be careful when you ask.

Some scars hurt,

Long after they

Bled and Burned.

Some are ashamed

Of the marks on their bodies,

Others find pride in marred skin.

Scars tell stories,

So some prefer to hide.

Others want the scars to see light,

Because they wish for their stories to be known.

Scars tell stories,

So it's important to listen.

Scars have power over the owner,

And those around,

Some overcome the power,

Others still struggle against it.

But all the same,

Big or Small,

Shallow or Deep,

Scars tell Stories.
