* welcome to pre11yblackgirl , a semi-private blog for ur very own sunny . this is a low activity blog where i post generally whatever i want. but it will mainly be dedicated to boosting things that i find interesting . that can range from topics surrounding the role play community , feminism , intersectionality , aesthetic pics , creators i like/use and most importantly all things black .
Just because we aren't seeing more posts about Palestine, doesn't mean the genocide has stopped. Let's keep Praying and speaking up for Gaza, Palestine.
The thing is... Israel admitted to this from the very beginning.
They said the confessions were obtained through 'interrogation' in the Shin Bet aka torture (Shin Bet is where they like to torture Palestinian prisoners for intel) so every country that cut funding to the UNRWA knew from the beginning that Israel was using false forced statements.
The famine in Gaza is partly due to this. Never forget that.

shein has taken down the selling of the israeli flag, stopped its collaborations with the country's influencers and also cancelled free delivery services to the country. do you know how fucking insidious you have to be for SHEIN to cut ties with you??? SHEIN???!!!
it makes me physically ill. a Palestinian on twitter's last post was about burying their six-year-old cousin without his head. a Palestinian boy on youtube dreamt of 100k subscribers on his gaming channel. and yesterday he reached 500k, but he has been killed in the bombing of the gaza strip. the class of 2023-24 in Palestine has ended early because there are not enough students left alive. literal children who were the teachers, artists, doctors, scientists, scholars, writers, engineers of tomorrow.
when is it enough? statistics released by Palestinian officials about the numbers of martyred isn't enough. photographs and videos of fathers scurrying to piece together their children by gathering their body parts isn't enough. presscons surrounded by dead bodies beside a bombed hospital isn't enough.
yet, somehow, the narrative they are pushing is conflict between two faiths. it is absolutely not. this is no religious conflict. this is colonization, occupation, genocide. it's systematic oppression of Palestine and its people.
the word peace has never angered me as much as it has now. and it should anger you too. there can be no peace under violent oppression. there can be no peace after 75 years of ethnic cleansing. there can be no peace in occupied Palestine.
peace is the product of white supremacy, they prod and kill anyone other than them but when retaliation occurs, it is suddenly rabid savages, unjust savages...
Lots of people like to say "I never support a genocide", but they never asked the question, "would I turn a blind eye to a genocide?"
That's basically what's happening here. Lots of people not supporting the actual killing, but doing nothing to stop it, not even speaking up.
Until it's at their door, until it is threatening them, a lot of people in this highly individualistic set of societies do not give a shit if a whole people gets erased from the face of the planet.
They just change the channel and go grill.
hi everyone <3 i havent seen this one shared / reblogged in a while so here is that huge google drive full of pdfs and ebooks about palestine. seriously its huge. not mine & i have no contact with the owner so id recommend downloading what you can to have permanent access to it. i tested the link in a private browser so it should work but let me know if it doesnt and ill try to figure out what the problem is
I realized that I have yet to make a post about the strike tomorrow, so I figured I should get on that.
I will be striking tomorrow and all throughout the week of Feb 18-25th and you need to as well.
Some things I didn't cover personally last time that I wanted to cover here:
Why are we striking?
As most people are aware, there is an ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza. Now more than ever, it is important to draw attention to the large numbers of innocent citizens being murdered daily. We need to let companies and those in power know that this is unacceptable and we can't stand by while these atrocities are committed. This strike is mostly designed to disrupt things to bring the situation to the attention of those with the power to change something.
What can you do?
Stay home from work/school
Only go out for necessary reasons
Only purchase things that you need, and purchase with cash if you can.
Donate to charities, or buy from companies that actively support palestine
Specifically boycott companies that support Israel
Spread the word, let everyone know that you are on strike
(let me know if I missed anything)
What if I can't do (insert thing)?
People are asked to do what they can. That means that if one of the things you are supposed to do for the strike is impossible, then that is okay. For example, if taking the whole week off of work would lose your job, and you cannot afford to do that, then you are not breaking the strike by continuing to work.
What charities can I donate to?
There are a lot of charities you can donate to, and I will add more as I find more, but it is also encouraged that you buy esims for Gaza, which I will reblog more information on, as it is not something I am educated enough to talk about myself.
Also, here is a reminder that even a small donation can go a long way. If you can spare even just a few bucks, I urge you to do so.

The text:
Noor, my daughter, was the only one who held my heart in this world. Her story was different from other girls.
Noor Al-Fara, 13 years old.
She had dreams for the future and was planning to achieve things beyond her age. She lived in her own world, with thoughts and interests that were unique. Whenever someone met her, whether a woman or a man, they would sit with her, chat, and say, "This girl is extraordinary. Mashallah, she seems like a university student, not a child who hasn't even turned 14." Indeed, when they said this, we realized that we are not just numbers. We have souls and bodies, and we have dreams that we want to fulfill in the future. It was as if she sensed that her time in this world was limited, but her dreams were grand, so she raced against time to achieve as much as she could.
As soon as she entered the house, she would start talking as if she had been away from me for a week. She would share many details about herself, her friends, teachers, and school news.
She was an icon at school; she felt like the center of attention among the students. She participated in all academic and non-academic activities, and she was a dynamo at home, on the street, and at school with her friends.
On November 7th, 2023, at 6 o'clock in the morning, the Israeli occupation aircraft bombed the entire square in front of the Farhana School in Khan Younis, and Noor was martyred. Oh God, she left a great void. My life turned into an empty desert after her, despite the crowdedness around us.
I'm so excited for this adaption of sense and sensibility, I've seen little to no buzz about it and if it wasn't for @blackinperiodfilms I would know nothing about it but I finally found pictures on the hallmark website! this will be airing on the hallmark channel saturday, feb. 24th at 8pm est and once I find out if you can stream it, I'll edit this!
if you enjoy my resources & have the means, donating a ko-fi could really make a different to my dog's quality of life. leia is only 4 years old but she's developed severe arthritis in her left knee that causes her a lot of pain. her vet would like to operate on her knee but the surgery is projected to be $1400-$1600, depending on how it looks once they get in. however, temporary pain management options average $100+ a month between meds, injections, and labs to make sure the prior two don't cause any issues. it's made it very hard to save up for the surgery. if it makes you feel more comfortable (or even inclined) to donate, i've included some proof of her condition under the read more.
