FREE PALESTINE MASTERPOST 2024

FREE PALESTINE MASTERPOST 2024

A new collection of all the Palestine-related posts I've reblogged. I'll move them to the second blog after a time just to keep this blog streamlined, but this post will serve as a permanent archive. Keep the pressure on and do NOT stop talking about this. (See the 2023 edition here.)

January 2024

-"i don't want my existence to be like this. i don't want to be a "concept" or part of "what came before". i don't want to be a part of a mueseum. i don't want to be an ancient exhibit, i don't want people abusing my "dead" culture, i don't want to be a relic, a person without a land, a person without a home."

-"When possible, refer to "Israel" as "Occupied Palestine", "the Israeli occupation" or "the Israeli Colonial Project". In Arabic people simply say "the occupation" or "the occupation forces" The one thing Israelis seek above all else is legitimacy. Deny it them."

-An interview confirming how little the Zionist occupation actually knew. The poster writes, "After almost 4 months of this, they have not identified a single location where a Qassam fighter could be.

The people dodging bombs are asking us to do this, the least you can fucking do is participate you insolent, opportunistic cunts."
