From Kehlani's recent Instagram story. To eat and drink, have lunch with friends and family, mourn their dead with candles and vigils is a privilege. For me to be able to simply post this is a privilege. In our present day, the constant censorship and manipulation of media is thought to be a thing of the past or of fiction. It is not. To my knowledge, there has been constant suppression of the coverage of the mass genocide in Palestine across all social media platforms. Including here on Tumblr. Palestinians continue to be condemned, they continue to be twisted and depicted by the media as "terrorists", when that cannot be further from the truth. Their people continue to suffer at the hands of Israel everyday. Being Pro-Palestine does not equate to condoning the actions of Hamas or being anti-Semitic, which is something that cannot be stressed enough. For the past 75 years, millions of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have had their homes demolished, had military checks which have impeded on their freedom of movement, experienced endless bombardment on their places of residence and worship, and have witnessed and endured the inhumane slaughter of their families, neighbours and friends. Therefore, we must continue to amplify the voices of our fellow Palestinian brothers and sisters. Keep posting, keep donating, keep listening to them, keep speaking up and keep educating yourselves. Education is a privilege and a powerful tool, which in times like this, we must utilise. Do not be hypocritical, do not remain ignorant. In the words of Kwame Ture, American Political Activist: "Peace is not the answer. Liberation is the answer. Peace is the white man's word." Do not allow for them to be silenced. We are their voice. For us to lose our voice, to stop advocating, in turn means for Palestine to lose their voice. More so than ever, we must ensure their stories are heard.
