Palestinians: Joe Biden has the blood of thousands of Palestinians on his hands. I will never support a genocidal monster like him.

Btw you love trump
it goes against so much of what i stand for to share “palestinians are humans, they have hobbies, they have pets, they laugh and cry” kind of posts because i’ve spent so much of my life and career completely rejecting the notion that we should humanize ourselves, that we should ever be defensive, that we should entertain this racism at all
but it breaks my heart when i have to share them from people in gaza, who are using their five minutes of internet connection, their 25% of battery charge collected from a macguyvered car battery, emotionally exhausted, thirsty and hungry, sleeping in schools that have turned into refugee shelters and still making the time to say “please, i am human too, i am still alive, please fight for me” in english to appeal to the only people who have the power to help
i shared a tweet from a jjk artist in gaza i follow about a bts photocard being found in the middle of the rubble. even the love of anime and kpop and sports is no longer just a hobby, but an appeal to humanity. what was once a source of joy is now proof of life.
the worst part is that you won’t find this content in arabic. palestinians don’t post like this in arabic. but when they translate themselves, they recognize that they must humanize themselves first. it’s an unspoken understanding of dehumanization, one that has dictated a whole region’s understanding of the value of human life. in arabic they speak with dignity, with anger, with sorrow. in english, they appeal for their existence.
i share these posts not just because we have to reach everyone we can, because im being asked to and i will not refuse. but i also share them because they’re evidence of how deep the racism has run. at what dehumanization leads to. of war crime after war crime. this too i will not forget.
