To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, a structure built in the 5th century and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

It literally makes me feel like I'm losing my mind that almost no one in the global north on here will speak about, or even react to, the fact that the US is literally funding Israeli owned death traps for starving families.
The United States and Israel have made it impossible for all actual aid to enter Gaza. Then, private contractors from the United States created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), with Israeli support, to "take over" aid distribution. They are preventing aid distribution by all humanitarian groups in Gaza that distribute aid in coordination with the U.N., and replacing them with GHF. These GHF sites are set up in collaboration with Israeli military to lure in starving families and gun them down.
Palestinians right here on tumblr have been discussing this for months, but so many people just reblog donation posts without even reading them.
Remember the post recently going around about ICE killing someone in California by throwing him off a roof and forcing all the witnesses to delete their footage (horrifying) where I added sources? that got SO many reactions in tags of "holy fuck" and "how is this happening" and general shock and outrage.
Even with all the reblogs, no one has reacted to my post about the food aid hubs in Gaza. Not even "no one has reacted with outrage," but just... no one has reacted in a way where it's clear they read it and felt or thought anything at all about it. Actually one person did, and it was a genocidal tangent dehumanizing Palestinians.
That's the state of things in the imperial core. Of the people who even pay attention, it's mostly people telling everyone else to tune out.
Hell, the US admits its doing this in our own papers. No one reacts. The US government doesn't need to hide anything cause everyone is willfully avoiding reading what we're doing to Palestine. It's grotesque.
Will you still reblog this post if I add links to fundraisers for my friends who are starving to death? Or will every last word blur into "oh this is a post asking for money, and nothing else about it is worth knowing"?

always great to hear my boss say "we're living through the collapse of the american library system" while I'm at my american library system job
anyway if you hadn't heard the current administration is trying to entirely defund and dissolve the IMLS which provides libraries with funding, especially useful for rural libraries and very small systems that don't have access to private funding to keep them afloat. This will absolutely devastate many many libraries across the country.
