They Be Running Faster Then My Dad-

They be running faster then my dad-

(How to help) <- check and reblog this post :D thanks!

If you are on the side of Israel I want you to reflect yourself. Why is Netanyahu doing this? I know your history. Jews did not have a place to call home, but is taking someone elses home really the answer?

Take a look at yourself and why everyone hates Israel so much. If I can do it for my own country so can you.

Ask yourself why does the IDF (Israel Defense Force) use white phosphorous, a weapon that burns from skin to bone.

Why do they keep the occupation and Israeli settlers around the land that does not belong to them?

Why do people who live in Israel are REQUIRED to join IDF. The army. As Israel is using their citiziens as meat shields. Friends in IDF have fought and died- and for what? Stealing peoples land? Killing citizens?

The ones who dictate what 'warcrime' is, are the winners of war.

Also for the ones who are spreading awareness, don't give up! You are doing great!

Don't give in to the face of despair, people who've been doing this since 1948 to 2023 should feel proud that they are fighting for the right thing. Even if it's small. Even if you start JUST NOW. You are doing what most people would never do.

There are still people who refuse to educate themselves.

There are still people who think that peoples lives are political.

My country had done at least 4 genocides (Papua, Maluku, Timor Leste, and the 1965s genocide) and no one spoke of it. No one heard of it.

Because all of us are censored, we are not allowed to criticise politicians. And if we do people ignore it. I was born in a culture of fear of saying the wrong thing.

Do you understand? YOU have the power to do the right thing. YOU are using your voice for the right thing. You are calling out war crimes when you see one. Something like this I would never even believe to see in my life time for other countries! So do NOT give up!

If no one speaks about Palestine then what hope do I get for my country?

For Palestenians, Papuans or anyone who is in war I LOVE YOU. I hope you stay warm, I hope you and your family have enough food. I hope you recieve any donations. You have the right to be angry, scared, you deserve freedom. The world. You deserve your land to not be taken by murderous politicians.

For Timorese, Moluccas and people who have died in Palestine vs Israel war, or any kind of conflict. I am sorry. May you rest in peace. People will fight for the ones who live. Your death will not be in vain.

Thanks for taking your time reading through all this.

Repost of Instagram post by alessandra_sanguinetti:

“In 2004 I worked as an intern in Newsweek and had to go through the wires coming in from the Middle East.

The Iraq war was raging. Israel was committing its routine violations and killings.

The images were devastating and unequivocally condemning of both the USA and Israel, but I remember the editors would reject all my picks and demand images of burnt cars or vague images of destruction.

So I brought a hard drive and collected everything they didn't publish.

It was my first live glimpse of the lack of ethics or integrity in most US media.

Not the journalists on the ground, but of the senior editors making the calls - in their self important glass cubicles.

And no, to the cynics out there..it's not all too complicated to discuss on social media.

Social media is the only reason we know what's happening in Palestine.

And the only reason mainstream news has to keep up and sprinkle some actual news now and then.

Meanwhile we are seeing much less footage coming out of Gaza - Israel has been killing off all the journalists.

This is terrifying.”
