they tell palestinians to evacuate and then bomb the border. this isn’t the first time they’ve done this. they know what they’re doing.

"I'm speaking to you from eastern Rafah, from the evacuation areas. The situation is very bad, with continuous bombing & gunfire. Nonstop airstrikes, artillery shelling, flare bombs, Apache helicopters supporting the vehicles. Sounds of vehicle moving within the borders of Rafah"
Graphic content| First responders gather the remains of the victims of Israel's recent violent strikes on Rafah.
Israel started brutal attacks on the overpopulated city immediately after Hamas announced its approval of a ceasefire agreement.
while you’re distracted by the met gala, people in rafah, the last designated “safe zone” in palestine, are being murdered by israel. palestinians are dying but sure some zionist’s dress is more important
remember that isra3l invaded rafah today.
remember that yes, they deliberately commit huge offensives against palestinians on big entertainment industry days like today bc they trust our attentions are otherwise occupied ‼️ enjoy the entertainment but keep the focus 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
BREAKING: Israel’s criminal invasion of Rafah, the last place of refuge for Palestinians in Gaza, has begun.
1.7 million civilians trapped in Rafah are now being attacked through air, land and sea, in the middle of the night.
🧵palestine resources 🇵🇸🇵🇸
israel is planning to invade rafa tonight while so many people are distracted by the met gala. please do not draw your attention away from the beautiful people of palestine. israel is using the met gala as a distraction. please keep using your voice
The Palestinians being pulled from the rubble in Rafah are being pulled piece by piece. The bombing is so intensely that it’s crushing people into pieces.
Seeing photos from the Met Gala between the corpse of a young girl with her throat ripped open and a doctor picking up pieces of skin and intestine to throw into a body bag with the rest of a mangled body and thinking that not a single thing about this world can remain as it is.

i just found this website that loads a random Palestinian fundraiser campaign each time you reload so you’re connected to endless fundraisers with ease. please share
for anyone in the us who wants to contact their representatives and put pressure on them to call for a permanent ceasefire + it’s walks you through it and is very simple
in light of that unfortunate flag making an appearance at one of olivia’s shows, here’s a reminder of some of the things you can do at YOUR show :) you can bring your ribbons, ‘obsessed’ inspired sashes, and mini trading cards with information all for Palestine too!
bisan isn’t the only one either btw! several palestinians have vocalized their support for the blockout! and we’re going to listen (with critical thinking skills) to the people we’re trying to help!
bisan is currently living in a tent in rafah and you’re telling her she’s “losing the plot” from your comfy four walls in america or europe all because she added your favourite artists to the blocklist??

olivia’s gotten pretty interactive with her audiences lately esp since she can’t do barricade & i think it’d be a great opportunity. like maybe a sign with info about the liviesforpalestine fundraiser made by dailyrodrigo. something like that.
this doesn’t even read as shade to other artists it’s just a massive fuck you to the people who still try to call her a “daughter” for the sole purpose of dragging her lol.
@toogutsy
stranger is her saying he deserved none of her efforts but she’s grown and moved past that and has officially and finally closed that chapter. and yet here these people are omfg

’s ‘SOUR’ becomes the first female album on Spotify history to surpass 12.6 BILLION streams on Spotify.
— It’s the 5th most-streamed album of all-time on the platform.
there’s only 2 donation and a total of $15 for a target goal of $40,000. please help oday muhammad and his family. the donation are very slow. DONATE or BOOST ❗
this!! i’ve opened so many of those tweets to find not a single person linking any resources. also the idea of blocking a celebrity should NOT have pissed any of you off to the extent you had the gall to tell a Palestinian in Gaza she’s “lost the plot” for promoting the blockout.
“they’re making this genocide about celebrities” since this idea gained traction, you’ve made 100M tweets calling it useless and being upset people are multitasking and have not retweeted a singular gofundme which leads me to think this is projection about your own facilities.
our girl’ll be able to do it all on her own btw🫶🏻 liv’s at the beginning of her career & her future’s bright, she doesn’t need you leeching off of her success claiming you or your fav played a part in it
@livlafluvoo
baby use that head😭 she’s losing out on the potential to be the 2nd/3rd biggest pop star in the world and after guts she’s not even near the top 4
please don’t engage with the met gala posts today. the last time a similar major event like this happened in the US, they bombed Gaza so heavily we had to wait until the morning to get numbers on martyrs. boycott any met gala discussions and try not to join in.
like i don’t think it matters which girl he’s referring to, the fact they both have written detailed accounts of how hurt they were and are now both in happy relationships should shame you out of alluding to them ever again
So why mention her at all? Why bring in someone who hasn’t done anything? Why do you think you get to decide who she is when you’re privy to just about as much as the rest of us?
Nothing. I’m just saying she’s playing a persona like EVERYONE else. Why do people think they know someone by seeing only 0.01% of their lives? & Even that is fabricated. Celebrities only care about y’all so they can use you to make money & go back to their mansions. They DO NOT
@livlafluvoo
like that’s the same woman who twisted her capitalist greed into some random deluded feminist fantasy of course she wouldn’t decline those credits😭
a lot of you must be mentally challenged cos we all know this isnt about disorders for food or depression.. but keep acting like victims llf this is why nobody takes ur asses seriously
remember to use

as well, and to inform yourselves too!! and to anyone who’s got doubts, this isn’t a safe space to voice them. we’re 100% pro using your platform over here and i hope olivia uses hers immediately
Up until this day, the deaths on Gaza caused by the Israeli ongoing offensive on the place had surpassed 35k, as informed a day ago by Gaza's health ministry. The injured among the Gaza strip are almost 80k people, same amount of people that are currently following this account.

“she’s beautiful, she looks kind, she probably gives you butterflies”
“but she’s so sweet, she’s so pretty”
and they read these as fighting words
A black person said they aren’t blocking black celebrities because Arab and Muslim influencers don’t talk about Sudan and Congo and a video of an Arab Muslim man stitching him and telling him there’s “good reason” that they don’t speak about Congo and Sudan went viral with Arabs
and u should feel guilty about not doing anything. u need to distract urself, do what the doctors say, go on a run exercise go to the club see a film do not sit in ur bed and complain. get over urself. 90% of getting through depression is getting up and distracting urself
so sabrina can do SKIMS, lana can hang out with kim and also do SKIMS, ice can follow kim.. but y’all continue to draw the line at who gets sent PR packages by agencies?

Azealia Banks slams Victoria Monét after she pulled out of three music festivals due to ongoing health issues:
“Make sense, Victoria Monét has like a two octave range and writes them flaccid Ariana songs. That ‘on my mama’ sh*t was like a rejected keri hilson song. This girl
1. Still looks like an artillery shell and signing it is still weird
2. Picture’s been used for years, wonder what could have made him want to clarify it now?
3. No one cares, free Palestine, & remember to share any resources you see to help boost them
Chris Evans addresses viral photo that appears to show him signing an Israeli missile bound for Gaza:
“This image was taken during a USO tour in 2016…The object I was asked to sign is not a bomb, or a missile, or a weapon of any kind,” he added. “It’s an inert object used for
aaannddd this is why any “criticism” of the blockout coming from non-Palestinians does not matter. cause you guys aren’t “thinking critically” - you’re just pissed your fav was called out.
@truestgreg
i’m sorry were you expecting me to take the time to block out the songs i KNOW aren’t about anything that happened? like i said, i’m very obviously not including lifeline or set me free in this conversation
also! make sure you’re interacting with tiktoks about families with gofundme’s so they can actually benefit either via direct donation or creator funds being donated. you can set up a separate collection to save videos of palestine in there to organize them too :)
