What’s the point of the un, the geneva conventions, international law, etc if we see a genocide happening in front of our eyes but nothing is done to stop it.

*person has consented to being eaten; they’ve donated their body. they died without suffering. you can cook the meat. you will not get sick from the meat.
bonus: explain why!
personal favourite responses thus far
- the people who have no moral qualms with cannibalism but but voted no because theyre picky eaters or dont like trying new things
- the multiple vegetarians who voted yes
- the one (1) person who (rightfully) called out the phrase ‘ethically sourced human meat’ (when i typed that out i had to take a long look at the choices ive made throughout my life)
- “ever since i got into pokemon vore i’ve had a huge fascination in cannibalism”
- the anime blog who reblogged this post not 5 minutes after my anime fan friend told me that “anime fans LOVE cannibalism”
- “if they are my enemy”
- and most of all - those who are reblogging without any commentary at all. because having absolutely NO thoughts on cannibalism is more fascinating than any possible response

Boycott Disney. Boycott McDonald’s. Boycott Starbucks. “Oh but it won’t work, it won’t do anything” Yes it will. Boycotts have worked before and they will again. Think of the Montgomery bus boycotts. Think about American women boycotting imported British goods during the revolution.
Why do you think popular media is so quick to discount boycotts as ineffective? Could it possibly be because they work? Could it be because major corporations understand that they work and are scared? Could it be because boycotts have historically been utilized by marginalized groups to assert their views and fight for change within a conflict in which they have no power?
Do not have give in to the apathetic nihilism of “nothing I do matters, so why bother?” That is exactly what oppressors count on. Be critical of the media you consume. Ask questions. Look to history. Boycott.

700 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours and the airstrikes are more violent each night. Gaza’s hospitals have fuel left for two more days. Israel only allowed aid into Gaza on the condition they didn’t carry fuel. The Indonesian hospital has shut down already, because doctors have no supplies and no choice but to let the wounded die. They’re calling it a collapse but the term doesn’t do it justice.
Over a 100 incubator babies are at risk. There are 50.000 pregnant women in Gaza right now, and 5.500 due to give birth this month. Menstruating people are taking pills in order to stop their periods, because they do not have pads or water to maintain hygiene. Surgeons are operating without anesthesia. Water is not reaching Gazans because there’s no electricity or fuel for water pumps.
There’s no excuse for this. Israel justifies the airstrikes by saying they want to destroy Hamas infrastructure and release the hostages, but they have refused to negotiate for their release. Hamas informed Israel they wanted to release two elderly women without anything in return, and Israel refused. Netanyahu said they wouldn’t take their own civilians back because it was “mendacious propaganda.” When the hostages were finally released, Netanyahu prohibited the hospital from giving press releases. Yocheved Lifshitz went behind their backs and talked to the press anyway, saying she was treated very well by Hamas, but the government abandoned them. They’re being used as straw men. Israel is conditioning the entry of fuel to the release of hostages and yet, according to The Wall Street Journal, when Hamas proposed to exchange 50 hostages for fuel they denied. IDF officials have said they fear the release of more hostages because that might withhold the order to their ground invasion. They do not care as long as they can use the hostages as a pretext for their slaughtering.
There’s a turning tide for Palestine in public support. Support for Israel was built through decades of propaganda and we are making a dent into it. Zionists are desperate, holding zoom meetings to promote zionism, but we have to do so much more. We have to shame people in power into supporting the Palestinian cause.
Keep yourself updated and share Palestinian voices, looking to inform yourself from the sources. Palestinians have asked of us only that we share, tweet and post, over and over. Muna El-Kurd said every tweet is like a treasure to them, because their voices are repressed on social media and even on this very app. Make it your action item to share something about the Palestinian plight everyday. Here are some resources:
- Al Jazeera
- Anadolu Agency
- Mondoweiss
- Boycott Divest Sanction Movement
- Palestinian Youth Movement
- Mohammed El-Kurd (twitter / instagram)
- Al-Shabaka (twitter / instagram)
- Mariam Barghouti (twitter / instagram)
- Muhammad Shehada (twitter)
- Motaz Azaiza (instagram) - reporting directly from Gaza
Take action. You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting (don’t be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. Only boycott additional brands if you can):
- Carrefour
- HP
- Puma
- Sabra
- Sodastream
- Ahava cosmetics
- Israeli fruits and vegetables
- Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)
If you can, participate in direct action or donate. Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London. Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.
Call your representatives. The Labour Party in the UK had an emergency meeting after several councilors threatened to resign if they didn’t condemn Israeli war crimes. Calling to show your complaints works, even more if you live in a country that funds genocide.

“24 massacres in 24 hours”
This is how Palestinians are describing today (October 23) in Gaza
The death toll had passed 5000 including 2000 children
Five thousand murdered in two weeks
1200 of which are unaccounted for under the entire residential buildings that have been flattened
This is not normal
We cannot get used to these numbers
This is horrific and we need to keep advocating and holding israel accountable for this and call it what it is: genocide.
Read, share, boycott, amplify Gazan voices - do whatever you can but don’t ignore this now that you know.

I feel like I am living in the twilight zone. Literally thousands of Palestinians are dead, hundreds still missing under the rubble, Palestinians being captured and tortured in the West Bank, Israel saying “oh we’re going to ramp up our bombing” and tonight being the worst night of bombing to date and all I hear is “both sides both sides both sides both sides-“ I feel like I’m going mad
