73rd anniversary of Nakba

tragedy enjoyers (hi) talk a lot about inevitable tragedies where the character(s) were doomed from the start, but to be honest as someone who does not believe in fate/destiny/etc. irl, the kind of tragedy that Really gets to me is the kind where you can see exactly why and how this didn’t need to happen, and you can also understand why the choices were made that made this happen, and you watch an entirely unnecessary but devastatingly predictable tragedy unfold due to a series of understandable choices

hi this is a blog

by the way your voice always matters in the fight against injustice. every single time you speak out against an injustice it matters. it sheds light on it. it empowers others to speak up. it matters

if you guys are looking for palestinian reporters and journalists, these are some that i follow:

yara eid, she is a journalist and human rights advocate who was born and raised in gaza, but is currently based in london. she worked to uncover the agression in gaza last year and has been documenting this aggression on instagram and twitter.

bisan, she is a gazan filmmaker who has been documenting the aggression on instagram (and i think tiktok, but she is more active on instagram). right now she is in the north and is documenting the situation there.

muhammad smiry, he is another journalist born and raised in gaza. he is currently based in gaza and last i check, he migrated southwards. he has been documenting this aggression on twitter. also make sure to follow his second account.

hind khoudary, she is a journalist based in the gaza strip. last i checked she was situated in the north and has been documenting the aggression there on twitter and instagram but she is more active on twitter.

plestia alaqad, she is a journalist also based in gaza. i’m not sure what part of the strip she is located in but she has also been documenting this aggression on instagram and tiktok. (i also found a twitter account but it is not linked to any of her socials, so i will not add it because i’m not sure if it is her)

it is important to center the voices of palestinian people at this time, especially because the media in the west has been so blatantly pro israel and has had no issue undermining the voices of palestinian people and the genocide that they have been facing for the last 75 years.

also it it important to know and always remember that israel is targeting journalists and reports especially because of just how important their voices are. so many journalists have been killed by the idf and the israeli police.

i will be updating this list as i find more journalists and reporters.

may allah keep these people, and all the heroes documenting the atrocities committed by israel, safe.

If y’all can’t boycott Starbucks and McDonald’s what use are you really? Because these aren’t places that you NEED (do not bean soup this post I’m so serious) what do you have that’s a NEED from Starbucks?? Exactly.
