Letters to You

!Palestine!

Hello, sorry for not publishing any poems lately I just haven't been feeling well

Now onto the topic of this post, I'm sure most of you have seen what's been going on with Palestine and Israel and Hamas and the attack/war.

First and foremost I am here to say I stand by Palestine (I myself am Palestinian) and I wanted to explain what exactly is going on for those who are interested/neutral about  what is going on 

But before I go on I must state I have NOTHING against Jews/Jewish people and this post is not pro-antisemitic so if You think I am making this to explicitly shit on them you are wrong.

I am making this post to shit on the horrible oppression my people are going through Israel has been mistreating, abusing, and downright slaughtering Palestinians for the past 50-70 years and that's before the open-air prison was built and before you try and bring up the fact Hamas has been killing/r*ping women and children, please show me proof first and foremost because I have seen no such proof on the news so don't go spreading information unless it's from a trusted site (and no people who are there who have no video evidence don't count) 

second even IF and that's a BIG IF Hamas has been doing that, that doesn't/shouldn't make the Palestinian cause invalid, we deserve our freedom no one should take that from us

many of you are big on supporting the oppressed but funnily enough It only matters when the situation becomes a trend (I.e: Broadcasted on the news and or boosted by celebrities) and a lot of the time many of you don't even care to understand the REASON for the uprising attack.

None of you batted an eye at the attack on Ukraine and thought "Hm...maybe Russia is the country we should support" You just immediately sided with Ukraine, but now? now you have to "take in both sides" I promise you a few web searches and you'll see which is the real "terrorist" and if Israel deserves the attacks.

Now again I have nothing against Jewish people (many Jews that I've seen have decided to stand with Palestine themselves) this war in itself has nothing to do with religion but a lot more to do with the oppression and murder of innocent Palestinians and as much as I do sympathize with the civilians caught in the crossfire, It isn't something that concerns me as much as the declining water supply in the Gaza strip (that mind you holds like what 2 million people?? but for some reason that's getting glazed over??) sure kidnapping is not right but again it's one of the only ways to negotiate with the Israelis (I say this because it's been done before and has worked)

All in all, you can't blame the Palestinians nor the Jews (Israel doesn't account for all Jews) but you can blame Israel for its unjust behavior (behavior  that's been hidden from media due to our corrupt society) while I hate Israel and wish it to collapse and suffer I am not mad at those that choose to "stand with Israel" (Not mad, just disappointed/hj) 

Now onto the ignorant spam posting of "I stand with Israel posts" (I'm looking at you Jamie, i mean seriously how dumb are you??) Am I surprised by the posts? no not in the slightest, in fact, I am not surprised at all because let's be real, most people who post just post what other's do and while I am happy most people I support do stand with Palestine I do know many others are upset that their idols have chosen to support Israel (Nina Dobrev, Ashley Tisdale, noah schnapp, etc) we have to remember most f these people don't know shit about what's happening other than there's a "war" going on and how Israel is clearly the ever so poor victim (sense my sarcasm? no, well now you do) they literally have no actual stance on the war (most of the time anyway) we have to remember they are celebs its no surprise many are unaware of what's actually happening unless their manager tells them directly.

now onto why Hamas decided to pull a whole coop, the Gaza Strip itself is one giant "homemade" open-air prison and the only way Palestinians (mind you again that's like 2 million people) could have access to water and food, etc, is through the Israeli and obviously, they don't give a flying fuck about them (the water had fucking dirt in it) and eventually, they stopped giving them water all in all and while they (the Palestinians) tried reaching out for help no one bats a fucking eye and their suffering (noticing the hypocrisy?) nor did they care when thousands of them died and got killed and probably worse (just look up videos, you'll find a boatload of evidence of the cruelty) so tell me is that alone not a reason to fight back? they had nothing else left other than death but that meant losing to the oppressors and obviously, they rathered be seen as terrorists while fighting for their land instead of just sitting by and watching themselves die (mind you, people view us as terrorists regardless) so they went for it and attacked with the limited weapons they had which in another point of view is fucking stupid because Israel has military weapons way stronger (but again better to die fighting than laying down) all because they just wanted clean water and food and their freedom, something that everyone should have the right to.

now after reading all that do you genuinely believe Palestine is still the villains they're portrayed to be?  please leave your opinions below (any hate-speech against any of the people spoken about that isn't Israel WILL be deleted and that includes any anti-Semitic comments again Israel doesn't equate to all of Judaism) 

Thanks for reading I'll try and publish a poem soon - sincerely The author
