 If you don't know what is happening this is for you.

This post is going to be about:

Palestine and their cry for help.

This is what is happening in Sheikh Jarrah right now. The Israeli government has decided to allow Israeli settlers to move into Palestinian homes, which means they are forcing people to move out of their homes they have had for generations, they are colonizing their homes and displacing them making them homeless. They have made appeals to Israeli courts to keep their homes, but Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem do not have equal rights, and their appeal will most likely be thrown away. Because of this Palenstanains have been doing peaceful protests so that there is support for their families. Because of these protests Israeli forces have been attacking, shooting, and killing innocent people, that are fighting for their rights. Israeli have also attacked Al Aqsa mosque, which is the 3rd holiest site in Islam, and now they are attacking Gaza. As of today, 21 people have died and 15 of them are children. This violence is clear ethnic cleansing, Israeli are taking control over the lives of innocent people. 

Summary of what is happening:
the background :
Palestine is a country in the middle east and it has been inhabited by Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Palestinians for a very very long time. In 1948, Zionists (one that supports and believes in the development and protection of Israel) forced around half of the indigenous population out of their homes, so that they could create 'Isreal'. Since this time, Isreal has never stopped taking more and more of Palestinian land, this means that now very little land is labelled as Palestinian Land. 

Main points : 
- All the events happening are not part of a conflict, Israelis are colonising and occupying Palestine. This is ethnic cleansing 
- Isreal has the tendency to spread misinformation about all the events taking place. They are backed up by other large settler colonies such as the USA

Gaza, Palestine : 
Gaza is an area that is in Palestine which has been separated from the rest of the country, because of Israeli colonisation. 


Israeli forces are throwing stun grenades, they are shooting rubber bullets at Palestinians inside Al Aqsa mosque, which simultaneously trapping them inside the mosque. Tons were wounded, but medics were not allowed through to treat those who were injured. 

Overall people innocent people are being killed and removed from their homes, these homes have been here since they were refugees, all that history being thrown away because Israel wants more land. 
" I have beautiful memories from this house. It was like heaven after our exodus." - Samira Dajani, her family have been in Sheikh Jarrah since 1956 after years as refugees. 


Ways to help : 
- Educate yourself and raise awareness it helps a lot more than you think 
- save Palestine









I pray for the families affected by Isreal and wish everyone the best. I hope one day everything goes to peace but until then stay safe and take care.

If you don't know what is going on this is for you, This post is going to be about:                                          The Willow Project.                                                  what is it and why is it horrible    What is the Willow Project? The willow project takes place in Alaska, and it is a very controversial topic. The idea is that ConocoPhillips' (an American corporation in the oil business) wants to do a massive Willow Oil drill on the North Slope in the National Petroleum Reserve, which is owned by the Federal Government (this idea was proposed originally in 2020 and approved by the Trump administration). This plan aims to hold almost 600 million barrels of oil. These tonnes of oil wouldn't even reach the market for a couple more years, as the project hasn't even been created; meaning that this part of Alaska, home to wildlife and ecosystems, would be holding millions of barrels of oil without any necessary financial aid for years later.

abortion bans in the US

 If you don't know what is going on this is for you: This post is going to be about :        " The abortion bans put out into the world "                                      women losing control of their body's choices.  What is going on? Well, there are legislations being passed in Oklahoma, it is one of the most restrictive ones set yet. They are punishing those who get an abortion with up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $100,000. Whereas rapists only have a 5-year sentence. This means doctors and women face a longer period of time in jail or a harsher consequence than the rapist that put them into that situation. This law only makes the exception if the woman is in danger, but rape or incest is not a valid excuse for abortion.  What makes the idea of "pro-life" to this extent horrible? Abortion is a constitutional right, and the fact that the punishment for this is much more grave than that of rape or incest is what makes this situation horrible

Affordability of health care

 If you don't know what is going on this is for you : This post is going to be about :                     " The true affordability of good health care " What is altering the ability of affording good health care? There are many aspects as to what causes the inability to have acess to good health care.  A major injury or a health issue that necessitates emergency care and/or an expensive treatment plan without health insurance coverage can result in poor credit or even bankruptcy. But being able to afford health care in countries that do not offer it for free is extremly difficult. In America 1 in 5 American's cannot afford nesessary care. With a survey done by  MedCityNews , shows that 46 million Americans (which makes up about 1/5th of Americans) cannot afford health care. Which therefore leads to them cutting off other necessary human needs to pay for it, and yet, years after still are in debt.  Further into pricing of health care and how the affects citizens:  Hea
