  • This Evil Has to Stop!

    As a child when I learned about the Holocaust it truly broke my heart. I wondered how no one could help them, how could anyone be so cruel, especially to children?

    Living in the empire, I had never learned anything about Palestine. I did not know what Palestine was until I was in my early thirties. That is how good the propaganda was in the United States. The same country that indoctrinated me into believing they were a force for good in the world.

    The last four weeks of watching videos of Palestinian people being bombed and mutilated bodies including thousands of children killed, has broken my heart. My heart goes out to the people of Palestine. My heart goes out to everyone that has lost a family member or family members. I pray to God that help will come to them, and I pray that the perpretators are held accountable for their crimes.

    It breaks my heart thinking about the millions of Muslims killed by the west in the last 40 years. I think to myself what if those people also had phones and channeled the images to the world? Would things havebeen different? Would those wars have ended sooner? Would the citizens of these imperialistic western countries have awakened to the crimes committed in our name. I also am truly saddened by the images that it hurts to watch on social media, thinking, we can actually look away, but the people who live in Palestine, cannot simply just look away. It is truly heart breaking.

    • I feel saddened by thinking, I can’t watch these videos on social media, then I think about the people living in Palestine, and how they can’t just NOT LOOK, it is their real life situation.
    • I am so saddened by the actions of the United States and their crimes against the Muslim people over the last 40 years

    Educate Yourself

    We must really study the history of the region. We must study how the Ottoman Empire was broken up after W.W.I and we must study British Mandate Palestine.

    We must study Theodore Herzl and the Zionist Movement, Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, and the Balfour Declaration. We must study the history of Settler Colonial Violence and ethnic cleansing, and the Nakba.

    Please write or call the White house and ask them to:

    Please stop the Collective Punishment, and Ethnic Cleansing of Gaza.

    Please stop supporting the mass murder of civilians of Gaza and the settler violence in the West Bank.

    Please stop Israel from killing people inside the Al Shifa hospital.

    Please push for peace and stop the genocide in Gaza.

    Please Free the people of Palestine!

  • These Wars Have to Stop

    The evil we are witnessing on social media is horrendous. The mainstream media is clearly biased, and insensitive to all this suffering. We as a human race have to unify to push for peace.

    Recent studies show that, one in every five, or one in every six children worldwide live in a conflict zone; that is totally unacceptable! There is too much trauma in this world! Too much pain! When will the healing start?

    The Weapons companies whose stock rise as humans are blown to pieces commodify suffering. They have no conscience, they have no shame. If the United Nations can’t stand up and say, Enough! Then what the heck is its purpose?

    We live in a world, where they have the audacity to tell us who we can show solidarity for, and who is and who isn’t a worthy victim. We live in a racist world that values some lives over others. A world where some histories are repeatedly told and others never mentioned. We live in a world where some countries with great Public Relations/Propaganda Departments, actually make their people believe they are a good force in the world; meanwhile hiding their imperialistic histories and murderous present actions.
