(Post 1/2 — continued in comments)
Hey guys, serious post really quick. I wanted to urge all my followers to please pay attention to global events right now. We are witnessing the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people right before our eyes and many of our governments are ignoring our voices and contributing to the genocide of a people. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you live, we all have a responsibility to do everything in our power to combat the senseless killing of civilians.
Please speak up, call and email your representatives, donate if you can, protest if you’re able, post on social media at the very least. Educate yourself so you can educate the people around you. It is rare that we witness such a large scale humanitarian catastrophe of this proportion unraveling before our eyes and it is our civic duty to stop it.
I apologize for not speaking up on this specific platform earlier— if i’m being honest, I forgot about this avenue and have been busy posting on all my other socials. But I want my voice heard on every single platform I have. As a Middle Eastern woman who writes books about oppression and injustice, I owe it to my readers and to my own integrity to be vocal about these things. I have been speaking up on this issue for years and I will not be stopping until we see the end of the apartheid.
