Hello. My name is Dims, and I am currently 21. It is 4:56 AM on May 10th, 2024.
Rafah is currently being bombed and invaded.
I don’t know how much of a digital footprint we’ll leave behind, if any, but if I can do one thing with my time here on this Earth, I want you all from the future to know that we tried.
Us, the citizens of the United States of America, are fighting so hard to stop the genocide happening in Palestine. We see their suffering, we hear their voices. A vast majority of the citizens of not just the US, but the entire world are on Palestine’s side. But no matter how hard we fight to change the world, to give to the Palestinians and let them know they’re not alone, it’s not up to us.
The only people with the real power to ceasefire and help Palestine are our leaders and politicians. And none of them will help.
We’re trying- don’t you doubt that for a second- but we can protest as much as we want, and if they still hold any power over us, they won’t bend unless they think it’s financially beneficial to do so.
President Biden has said he’s delivering aid to Palestine, but all he’s really been doing is sending them expired food that tastes like shit, dumping it in the ocean, and making them swim for it while Israeli soldiers fire upon crowds of innocent, starving people.
President Biden has said that he will not allow Israel to invade Rafah, but here we are. He hasn’t lifted a damn finger to stop them.
President Biden has said that all people deserve life insurance, all while allowing a LITERAL GENOCIDE to occur, with his blessing.
Genocide Joe does not speak for us.
Historians, if you are reading this, please don’t let our voices be erased with time. I know about my country’s habit of erasing it’s own atrocities and painting itself as a shining bastion of freedom, and I have no doubt in my mind that it will do that once again after the dust of this conflict has settled. No matter what happens- a ceasefire, or total destruction, the United States will write in history books that it either helped to defeat a terrible foe, or it came down on Israel with an iron fist and stopped it dead in its tracks.
My country is responsible for the genocide of thousands of indigenous tribes.
My country is responsible for the war, violence, and massacre of many countries overseas, including Iraq, Palestine, Yemen, the Congo, and so, SO many more.
My country is responsible for the colonization of Hawaii, as well as the entire rest of the land we occupy.
My country WILL try to sweep this under the rug.
Don’t let them. No matter what, PLEASE don’t let them.
To any Palestinians that are reading this message right now, be it once this is posted or far into the future, we hear you. We see you. We will continue to fight for you. It’s not over, and I refuse to stop raising awareness and talking about Palestine until you are free. And, if that doesn’t come to pass, then by God we won’t let them forget. We won’t let you all get swept under the rug. This genocide is a stain on my country’s already bloody past, and we can’t let them pretend it’s not there anymore.
We are failing you now. I am so, so sorry we can’t do more. But we will continue to fight for as long as we can. I promise.
FREE PALESTINE!
