*tenderly but forcefully grabs your face between my hands* Hey. Listen to me, and listen good. Palestine WILL be free. No matter how hopeless it seems. No matter how many tragic losses faced. Palestine WILL BE. It's not just that we can win, we WILL. Do you hear me? Don't lose fucking faith. Don't start fucking doubting, even for a second. Hold on to that certainty. River. To. Sea.
(Sorry this wasn't an update but I believe that the use of platforms, however small enables new people to understand the depths of a situation.)
Make no mistake. Gaza IS under colonial rule. Gaza IS enduring war crimes and massacres of the highest atrocities .We cannot sit by and continue watching the eradication of a group of people based on the racist and ideological beliefs of those in power. This did not start in October 7th.It started when Britain believed it had the right to hand over an independent nation to Zionists to further expand their reach in the Middle East.
As an African, born, raised and living in Africa I have always been well aware of the militia groups that maim communities in Congo for the sake of economic gain. Congo, who has suffered from the brutal colonisation from Belgium and is now continuously injured by technological companies and political powers such as the US and France just because of its minerals needs our aid. We have to stop the overconsumption of electronic goods. We must reject this capitalistic economy that allows such atrocities to not only be committed but also be accepted as the norm. Killing people should NEVER be the norm.
We cannot forget Sudan where civil war is sprouting at the consequence of her young people dying. Democracy is a human right. No human should be indoctrinated to authouritarian rule where the ruling class live in splendor while the minority are forced into squalor despite their earning for keep. Sudan deserves its right to freedom. Let us not forget our Sudanese brothers and sisters as they struggle to attain freedom that was always deserving of them.

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.
i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.
palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.
they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.
palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.
here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

No matter what Israel does. No matter how much the West drags its feet. No matter what the media keeps espousing. No matter what happens...
The Palestinian resistance will never die.
The martyrdom of all those killed will not be forgotten.
The sacrifices of the Palestinian workers, doctors, journalist, citizens and fighters will not be wasted.
The generations and families annihilated will not have been for nothing.
Palestine will never die.
The olive trees will grow again. The poppies will bloom again. The neighborhoods will be build again. The laughter of children will echo on the streets once again. The humanity and courage of the Palestinians will prevail. It is inevitable.
One day, from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
