To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, a structure built in the 5th century and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

I feel like ive seen quite a few gfms getting passed around and ive observed that a lot of them have stories of such exceptional people who have achieved so much, or were going to before the genocide cut it off. And i really commend them for it, i really do.
But it breaks my heart that palestinians reaching out to us feel the need to have to prove that they are they are good people who are worth the support, like theyre only worth being supported if they had a good gpa or were exceptional in some way.
They shouldnt have to prove that theyre beneficial to the economy somehow to be worth the support. They shouldnt have to be exceptional to deserve help. Our governments are putting them through this, both in the west and around the world too. They shouldnt have to prove anything. We owe them this
The way miraculous ladybug had potential thats was wasted like why
I'll be watching from the sides to see how it ends tho and yes i was a fan from 2019-2021
yay

I knew I liked eripon when I first saw her
Similar Confessions:
Y'all Eripon did an interview with a local newspaper and she said she wants three things under her leadership. First is she's abolished the senpai pick their lunch first rule because she wants the senpai to be more flexible and less strict. Second is that instead of pushing Morning Musume as a group she wants every member to push their own character and skills so that their individual names become known by the public. Third is to do a world tour. ERIPON SUPREMACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Erina had an interwiev with Chunichi in which she says that she wants to abolish the bento rule, boost individual popularity and even do a world tour... and as unrealistic the third wish is, reading how much influence Fukumura had as a leader makes me somewhat hopeful that first and second wishes can become real and Momusu will finally get a liiiiittle rebranding
