Death to all israeli occupation soldiers. They are responsible for the bomb that tears a child’s body in half. They are responsible for the destruction of the entire gaza landscape. They are responsible for the orphaned children for the disabled children. They are responsible for every parents tears. They are responsible for making hospitals battle grounds. They are responsible for the starvation and for the disease. There is no sympathy for people who commit these acts of absolute inhumanity. Netanyahu cannot do anything without willing happy murderers and an apathetic and hateful society. And worst some fucking zionist will screenshot this and talk about how “u need to have sympathy for iof bc they’re drafted” they are the reason I see the limbs of my people all over the ground like torn pieces of clay.
truly is something that israel doesn’t even need to keep up any pretense about bombing hospitals and ambulances anymore. remember al ahli? how they lied that somehow a hamas (later changed it to PIJ) rocket misfire completely obliterated hundreds of people taking shelter in the hospital? remember how they originally bragged about it before they had to back track? because i certainly do. they’ve bombed every single hospital in gaza since then and they can continue to do so with absolute impunity, not even trying to hide the fact that they love slaughtering children sheltering in hospitals anymore. because why the fuck does it matter anyway the west will funnel billions of dollars worth of weapons and millitary aid into a violently crumbling fascist apartheid state before they ever consider a single palestinian child a human being

(U.S.) tool for emailing your senators and house representative to ask to restore funding to the UNRWA
“If the funding remains suspended, we will most likely be forced to shut down our operations by end of February not only in Gaza but also across the region.” -UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini (source)
There is a weird segment of people who love to make it very clear they are “against the actions of the Israeli government”, like every other sentence they make it a point that this is about “the Israeli government” which is boring but also ignorant because it pretends as if everything that is happening is only the Israeli government’s fault.
As if it was the Israeli government who marched out of settlements and set children and families on fire.
As if it was the Israeli government who is protesting at the Gaza border trying to prevent aid trucks from entering.
As if it was the Israeli government that burnt thousand year old olive trees and shot the people harvesting them in the chest.
As if it was the Israeli government that went into the Ibrahimi Mosque at dawn and committed a massacre killing 28 worshippers.
As if it was the Israeli government who went out with lawn chairs to sit on hilltops to watch and cheer as bombs dropped on Gaza.
As if it was the Israeli government posting TikToks mocking and celebrating Palestinian deaths.
There is a reason they are so eager to pose their opposition to be “against the Israeli government” because they need to pretend that it is only the “current Israeli government” at fault in order to maintain the illusion that Israel isn’t a genocidal entity to its core.
Adding to this:
The Israeli government isn’t the one setting up (identical) tents on the border crossing to Gaza in order to prevent humanitarian aid trucks from getting into Gaza. It’s the Israeli citizens who also declare that their aim behind this is to stop the aid from reaching Gaza because it is the reason behind the “war” lasting this long.

So when do we admit that we have a problem here
A group of journalists held a public appeal yesterday for an end to Israel’s siege of the northern Gaza Strip, where practically no food aid has entered since October 2023. People in the north are living and dying in famine due to the complete blockade by the IOF.
To make matters worse, most mainstream media outlets are ignoring the plight of north Gaza, as the journalists and other people remaining in the north are predominantly Arabic-speaking. The north of Gaza is starving in silence.
Instagram user faridaek has been kind enough to repost the appeal with English subtitles added. This is a significant undertaking that we greatly appreciate, and we ask everyone with an Instagram account to share the video.
The journalist speaking is Islam Bader. He and his colleagues are making this appeal on behalf of the people of northern Gaza. The journalists present include Abed Alqadr Sabbah, Mahmoud Al-Awadia, Momin Abu Owda, Mahmoud Sabbah, Mahmoud El-Shareef, Anas Al-Sharif, Islam Bader, Mohammed Ahmed, and Fadi Al-Whidi, among others. The subtitles read
From the north of the Gaza Strip, we, as journalists still stationed here in the north stand today driven by our ethical responsibility and national duty as a voice for all those who remain steadfast in Gaza and its north who are being subjected to a policy of extermination and a policy of starvation which is no less than extermination. The markets have been emptied of all essentials, and there is no flour available except in rare instances. The occupation does not allow aid to enter, maintaining its obstinate siege against our people and our families. We are of this people, and today we speak for Palestinians, for the besieged and for those denied life’s essentials. The most basic necessities have now become extremely rare in Gaza.
Therefore, we issue this call as a final warning, about a severe famine that is unprecedented on a global scale and impacting all facets of life, particularly children, individuals with chronic conditions and society’s most vulnerable groups. We hold the Israeli occupation and the international community especially the United States responsible for this starvation because it is happening in front of the eyes and ears of the entire world without any concrete action [on the ground] to stop it. The occupation’s claims of aid delivery are deceptive and unfounded. In reality, nothing has entered the north of the Gaza Strip.
Therefore, this final call, on behalf of all these people, on behalf of our fellow journalists, on behalf of our families and on behalf of Palestinians and the displaced in the north of the Gaza Strip is for the world to uphold its responsibility. North Gaza is starving, and this famine must be stopped.

They are a few places covering this. Forbes for one
One popular user on TikTok revealed he got an email offering him $5k to take down pro Palestine videos from some sort of pro Israel think tank. He didn’t take the videos down but I have to wonder how many other popular creators have been targeted in this way. Especially when politicians in the US have said TikTok “spreads Hamas propaganda” or whatever just because the Palestine tag on there has more content than the Israel tag
