I don't share politics on this blog but... I just saw a video that will forever be burned into my brain and I just can't...

An US soldier set himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy for Palestine. He went up in front of the gate and said "I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it's not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal." He put the camera down, poured gas over himself, and set himself on fire. And then he channeled all the unimaginable pain into screaming "Free Palestine" multiple times before he collapsed. 

Then some people rushed to him with a fire extinguisher and some super helpful cop also entered the scene to POINT A GUN at the guy on the ground, who was by that point already completely engulfed in flames. He kept pointed his gun at him!

I've never seen anything so utterly surreal in my life. It was gut wrenching to watch it. His name was Aaron Bushnell, 25. I can't imagine the strength it took to keep standing and screaming "Free Palestine" while burning alive. He died later in the hospital.

And of course, the mainstream media treats it casually which is NOT OKAY. That guy was almost my age. It's soul crushing.

A reminder about Palestine:

Firstly, the existence of the country of Palestine was never in question. And secondly, as per the UK's own words in the oft-referred to "foundational" "Balfour Declaration":

"NOTHING SHALL BE DONE WHICH MAY PREJUDICE THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS OF EXISTING NON-JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN PALESTINE."

Plain as day.

it's very disheartening to see that Palestine or Gaza is no longer the highest trending tag on Tumblr so early on in Global Strike week, especially considering how many people have said they still need to work and buy food (100% valid, by the way). don't lose momentum. keep talking about what's happening. keep reblogging and sharing useful resources and information. we need the Palestinian people to know that we see what's happening to them, we care about what's happening to them and we stand with them. Percy Jackson and Tumblr Live are no where near as important as the genocide of Palestinian people.

The absolute joy a citizen in Northern Gaza felt after he managed to secure a bag of flour..

it's absolutely heartbreaking to see that their biggest dream is to get a bag of flour when any of us could walk into a store, buy one, & feel nothing about it..

Let's Help Bashaer and Her Family!

Like many Palestinians, Bashaer (@bshaeromars-blog) comes from a loving family. She is the eldest of six (6) siblings and marries a wonderful nurse named Omar. She is also pregnant with her first child! Things are going well for her.

Until the airstrikes dropped. Bashaer and her family has no choice but to quickly leave their beautiful home, leaving their belongings as well as their memories behind. They end up in Rafah.

One night in December, Omar goes out to collect wood so the the family could make a fire and keep themselves warm. Winters in the desert is as unforgiving as it is in the tundra.

But another set of airstrikes have painted the horizon orange. Omar makes a run for it. He does not make it and passes away. May Allah forgive him and grant him Jannatul Firdaus!

Bashaer is a widow now. She grieves over the love of her life. If you read her blog, you would know how much she adores, admires, loves, and respects him. What makes it more heartbreaking is she has given birth without the help from a doctor or a midwife. Her daughter, Ayla, is born and she will never get the opportunity to meet her father.

Read this again and let every detail sink in. Bashaer is a single mother and a widow. She is also recovering from postpartum. I know we have a soft spot for single mothers. A lot of us have grew up with one. We know how much these mothers have scarified and worked to raise us.

So let's help Baeshar. Please, please, please donate and share. Consider giving as little as $5. It may seem like an insignificant amount, but it makes a significant difference.

You can even match me! I have contributed $5.
