The US, Canada, and European countries help because they have histories of doing the exact same shit.These countries continue to participate in such activities because they're still doing them today.

Free Palestine.Fuck this repackaged white supremacist shit. Fuck agents of white supremacy promoting this shit. Fuck countries that are funding this shit and giving it their blessing.If it walks like a Colonizer, talks like a Colonizer, it's a Colonizer.No different from these other Colonizer countries, killing, displacing, and oppressing people.

I got injured in October. Two days later, I was back out protesting.My Disabled ass has been doing the non-trivial commute to and from actions on a regular basis.That is because I am not OK with Genocide nor Ethnic Cleansing.My very real pain is less important to me than the fact that:- People are being killed- People have no food and water- There is aid, but that aid is being prevented from getting to the people who need it.- People are being displacedGet out there.#Palestine

This Genocide is powered by the West. We are funding it. We are arming it. We need to stop it.The government of Israel is killing doctors, nurses, teachers, press, children, adults, seniors. Regular people like you and me.We are approaching the third month of this current cycle of violence.Israel is doing the violence, our governments are helping.You need to be opposing your governments for their contributions to Genocide.

If you are unable to physically go out, offer to help people who are.You can watch their kids while they are out. You can call and write your representatives. You can talk to peers to get them to go out in your stead.You can check where you do business with, and if that business supports the Genocide, take your business elsewhere.Stop buying unnecessary shit. Change to other brands. Check before you buy. Cancel subscriptions.

When people get retaliated against for opposing genocide, support them.Educate yourself by listening to Palestinians. Listen to Anti-Zionist Jewish people who have either been able to resist or overcome indoctrination. Listen to how leftists of other oppressed groups relate to Palestinians.Take what you learn, and inform others. Don't waste time arguing with people who have made a firm decision against opposing genocide. Focus on the young people and those willing to learn.

When you are looking at communications, pay attention to who the target audience is.Palestinians are oppressed and are in urgent need of our support through our solidarity. They communicate to everyone.People who know they only need to appeal to whiteness will target their messaging to unknowledgeable white people.That is why Black and other non-white groups are seen as a threat to this colonial project.

You need to look for information. There are Jewish Coalitions out there fighting against this Genocide every day.When Pro-Palestinian people get arrested, these same Jewish Coalitions are out there supporting them. They are out supporting these actions. They are involved in these actions.For that their Cost of Solidarity is quite high. It's relationships with loved ones and their communities. It's constant harassment from Christian Zionists.When you see them advocating, support them.

At a vigil recently, I made sure to thank someone who I recognized from social media who has been a staunch advocate for Palestinians and has received so much hate and vitriol for it.It takes you a moment to say thank you. To tell them that you see them, and that you appreciate them for doing the work.When you are at actions, thank people for coming out and make connections with people. Thank them for coming out.

People will come out on days where their groups organize. When you let people know how important it is that they came out. That you see them. They will come out to the next one on their own.If you are out and part of a marginalized group, understand there are visible minorities and invisible minorities. Consider labelling yourself as part of your community and letting people know you as a member of your group is out in solidarity with Palestinians.

Pro-Palestinian protests, are very diverse. It's important that people see that diversity.Wear a mask. It helps hide your identity, and helps prevent the spread of disease. There are also people out with disabilities, so we have to keep everyone safe.

People will defend a state's genocide, and settler colonialism by talking about the diversity of the people involved.Keep in mind the US' Imperial military is also made up of a diverse group of folks.This is messaging that is meant to place doubt in the minds of white folks and stop them from acting. It relies on you seeing racialized groups as monoliths.The rest of us already know that not all skinfolk are kinfolk. #Palestine @palestine

It also ignores that in places like Canada and the US, non-white people play our roles in upholding settler-colonialism here as well.https://blacktwitter.io/@MightySisserou/111624974214401892

Many people who express support for Israel are not Jewish, and many are not white.What is happening to Palestinians is a global responsibility.You will find supporters across many different races, ethnicities, faiths, nationalities. The same goes for those in opposition.Don't let arguments around diversity be used to support settler-colonialism and genocide.

Take a moment to go look at lists of Genocides where they took place, who carried them out, and you're going to find a lot of diversity there as well.

You know that Genocide is wrong.You know that Colonial Violence is wrong.You need to be looking for those who are speaking out against Genocide.Jenny from Independent Jewish Voices:https://www.instagram.com/p/C1LOu-8uXd8/There are many Jewish folks out there speaking out against what is happening.It's your responsibility to find those voices and listen.All I want for Hanukkah is a Free Palestine panel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcMLFLDQ9Tg#Palestine @palestine

If you're choosing to only be on Mastodon and not looking anywhere else, you're missing a whole bunch of people who are speaking.That is why it's your responsibility to find those voices.If you are not sure where to stand in this situation, seek out Jewish orgs and coalitions actively opposing the Genocide. Read, watch, and listen to what they have to say.They will direct you to people to listen to.We were directed here by Jewish people:https://wearenotnumbers.org/packing-for-exile/#Palestine

You should be listening to Palestinians. You should be seeking out Palestinian orgs. You should be reading what they write.If for some reason, you find yourself unable to find them. Jewish orgs and coalitions against the Genocide will show you where to find them. Just ask. Read their posts. Sign up for their mailing lists.That is what Solidarity is.

You need to do the work to humanize people who have been dehumanized.You have decades of "Brown = Bad = Muslim = Terrorist" to deprogram.You need to be reading books by Palestinian authors, essays, letters, poetry. You need to be looking for visual media put out that describe their experiences.That is your responsibility.And don't stop there. Come out to actions. Support them. Write your representatives. Come meet them.#Palestine @palestine
