I just read that Israel’s continuing assault on northern Gaza has halted an aid polio vaccination campaign, leading to further risk of disease and death. But sure, a t shirt is the issue.

Israel is really going to eradicate an entire people while citizens all over the world have the shit beaten out of them by militarized cops for not wanting that to happen.

this is outrageous.

Anyway: FOA (Friends of Al-Aqsa) and the PSC (Palestine Solidarity ...Committee, I think) both have sites where you can buy Palestinian items like this t-shirt, the proceeds of which go to charity.

It is also worth looking at donating to the PCRF (Palestinian Children's Relief Fund) and MAP (Medical Aid for Palestine). If you have the time and courage, it is also worth seeing what actions you can undertake with Palestine Action, a direct action org which primarily targets weapons factories and arms dealers (they also accept donation and actionist support such as letters).

I... Don't see Israel in that watermelon but that could just be me.

Noooo not a t shirt causing distress imagine if it was literal genocide but same thing

[emmanium]

Fucking cowards. Imagine being so offended by a harmless shirt that doesn't say anything about Jewish people and it's definitely not anti-semitic in any way. But we already know that merely the existence of Palestine is offensive to zionists, which is absolutely ridiculous. The zionists keep telling on themselves.
