Mona Alkurd , one of the Palestinians Israel is trying to kick along with 28 families out of their decades long homes in Sheikh Al Jarrah , the last Palestinian block in Al Quds ( Jerusalem ), to complete the restriction of the area to Israeli Jews .. simply an Apartheid by settlers.
“ Your posts and tweets are treasures to us “
Here a rough translation of what she said:
“ It falls on us and Palestinians and the honorable people supporting us with posts and tweets. You have no idea how much that means to us. Everyone who shares even one short post or tweet. Don’t feel like you’re doing nothing. Those posts and tweets are treasures to us. Help us get our cause heard. We are 28 families. 500 individuals. If we are removed, then there will be no Palestinians in Al Quds. And in the end, Allah is our hope. And it falls on us. And we will remain here to our last breath defending our lands and homes”
Palestine's case is one of the rare ones where retweets, hashtags, reblogs, etc... are one of the most effective forms of support (besides boycotting and protesting) because donated money goes nowhere and petitions do not work in an apartheid state that seeks to eliminate its victims openly. We need the rest of the world watching and protesting and speaking out.
For those confused: this image is an example of survivorship bias. Basically, if your combat plane comes back full of bullet holes as seen above, your first instinct would be to reinforce the parts with the most holes with armor. On the contrary, however, you should reinforce the spots with the LEAST holes, because the planes that got hit there never made it back.
Another example is how injuries from car crashes increase when seatbelts are mandatory, because those injuries would usually be deaths.
What the tweet above is saying is that it may look like there’s a lot more queer people this generation than before because, in the past, queer people tended to not come out, die young, or (specifically for those who should be queer adults now) die of AIDS.
