Last night I was told I am no longer welcome to film today's Trapped Under Ice/Youth of Today show in DC because of my public objection to the zionist entity's livestreamed genocide in Palestine.
When Jinx Proof Tattoos reached out to me back in April about filming, it was out of respect for the way I have deliberately leveraged this platform for 18 years, especially the advocacy for Palestinian armed resistance and excoriation of zionism in all its forms.
This week, zionists flooded Jinx Proof and other co-promoters with complaints about my involvement in the show, specifically citing my stance on this genocide and how my "presence was creating anxiety" for some of the co-promoters. Jinx Proof rescinded their invite at 11pm last night as I was working on pre-production tasks for the show.
Having filmed Trapped Under Ice’s benefit for Jinx Proof 16 years ago, and having gotten my first tattoo at their shop, it is shameful they and the other promoters have decided the discomfort of those enacting, championing and excusing this wanton mass murder is given primacy above all else.
This is not the first hardcore show/promoter/band/festival to cut me off this year nor am I the first to be canceled to assuage zionist "feelings." Do the math.
As we watch starving Palestinian infants being sniped and entire families in Gaza decapitated in 4K by Jewish soldiers with American munitions, who also carve Jewish symbols on the bodies of Palestinian hostages while sodomizing them with dogs, and as synagogues in America host illegal land sales of ethnically cleansed Palestinian land, look at the bands and labels and podcasts with platforms in your scene who won't take a stand or can't even be bothered to lift a finger to reshare a mutual aid link, and ask yourself why.
Ask yourself why a music community that has a strong history of rooting out Nazi/white power skinheads from the scene in the 80s and 90s and fellates itself on bedtime stories about that era has had so little to offer as we've watched Gaza transform into an extermination camp with a live feed.
I will never regret standing for defenseless children being butchered daily. Whatever is taken from me will never compare to the immeasurable loss Palestinians have dealt with from this vile ethnostate.
Your scene is infested with zionists and this scene's collective generational cowardice runs cover for them. I'm out.

Fuck israel.
Turn every IOF soldier into a bag of fertilizer.
And as the Lebanese proverb goes: May Palestine and The Levant knock on the door of liberation with the skull of zionism.

gaza is facing the threat of famine again. pls go through your budget and find something you can sustainably redirect to palestinian families. make donations part of your regular spending. i am terrified for my friends and i need them to have money when they find food.
Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.
We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.
Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

Yeah that's terrible. Hey maybe the problem could be solved by stopping the sale of illegally occupied West Bank land? There's a land sale this Saturday in Riverdale, great chance to put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Mayor
Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

We Are All Sacrifices
We are the sacrifices of your social media pages, the heavy substance for your articles, research, and newspapers. We are the embroidery on your clothes and bags, the map wrapped around your necks.
We are the perfect script for your directors, the never-ending content for all journalists. We are the photo gallery you scroll through, passing by our agony, only to applaud before returning to your normal lives. We are the opening act of your galas, and we are the closing ceremony.
We are the myth of writers, analysts, and reporters. We are the blood that fills your inkwells, the numbers that decorate your annual reports.
We are your cafe debates, the raw material for your consciences—which only awaken in front of the cameras.
We are the free spectacle for a world sitting in the front rows. We are the medal you hang on your bags, the cover of your books, the watermelon that adorns your names. We are the first and final step on your ladder to fame.
We are the very last tear you would ever think to shed.

Let’s not romanticize Palestinians steadfastness. Palestinians in Gaza are tired, they’re exhausted. Survival consumes their whole day and energy.

This woman talks about how depleting life is that even nostalgia is a luxury- even remembering life pre genocide is difficult, can you fathom that?
The Sameer Project continues to provide meals that are made in our kitchen. On September 20th, we gave out 504 meals of kofta (meat) and rice to Sahel Camp and Amal School in Deir El Balah. Total cost was around $1,382 including the 11% commission.

This is an "Israel"-laundering PR stunt.
Lander, a zionist politician, won't pull investments in Elbit, he won't arrest Hind Rajab's killer roaming the streets of NYC, he won't disrupt the synagogues holding real estate auctions for stolen Palestinian land. Business as usual
BREAKING: @bradlander was just detained by Israeli authorities along with 40 international volunteers while harvesting olives in the West Bank.
“Occupation is a crime under international law,” Lander said. “Harvesting olives is not a crime under any law I know.”

The Sameer Project aid workers distributing water were shot at by the military occupation AGAIN!!
Donate to our water campaign: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
Today, October 13th, The Sameer Project team was distributing water in Al Sanfoor area in Tuffah, Gaza City, when suddenly the military occupation fired shots around the water truck. As you can see in the video, little children and our team were running away to hide from the shootings.
In what world is this acceptable? Every week or so, we have an incident of bombing or shooting near The Sameer Project team. Multiple team members have shrapnels in their bodies and their only crime is providing food and water to the community.
The Sameer Project will not be deterred and we will continue to provide aid in the areas near the yellow line. May God protect our wonderful team and all the Palestinian in Gaza.

You can hear the cries of a little girl. The daily horrors from Gaza never stopped.
A horrific scene. Israel has just carried out a terror strike on an apartment in Gaza City, killing at least one woman.
Neighbors rushed to the scene as flames engulfed the apartment. They heard a little girl screaming. She was rescued.
Listening to her cries shattered me into pieces.
Do you know when israel launched this terror strike? At 4 in the morning today in Gaza local time.
Stop Israel’s terrorism.

I walk down the road not knowing my destination, the shelling intensifies violently everywhere, as if I am swinging between despair and despair. I don't care about my life, or perhaps I find myself more logical—no one knows where the next missile will fall. Several questions creep into my thoughts, headed by this cynical, wretched question: How long?
I ask it only to myself, and when I am among my friends, I am ashamed to voice it. Perhaps one of them would slap me and tell me to shut up, perhaps another would shoot me a sharp look and silence me, and another would laugh out loud.
Truly, how long? How long will they continue to kill us? Has our blood become the only one sufficient to satisfy their desires, and has our blood grown cheap to this world? And have we ourselves grown accustomed to the color of roads paved with blood?
I don't know, truly I don't know my state. Birds build their nests twice a year, and I am in this circle alone, kneeling like a curse upon my bare chest.
How long?

ZOHRAN, ZOHRAN, TAKE A STAND, STOP THE SALE OF STOLEN LAND!
Today, as Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended an Israelis for Peace vigil in Union Square on the anniversary of October 7th, we reminded him of his complicity in the ongoing ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinian people. Mayor Mamdani has the power to take action against the sale of stolen land in NYC. Yet he chooses to turn a blind eye and betray the movement for Palestine.
We called on the Mayor to:
1) Take meaningful action against the sale of stolen land in NYC
2) Remove the tax exempt status of religious institutions and other locations hosting stolen land sales
3) Drop Jessica Tisch as NYPD Police Commissioner and disband the Strategic Response Group
Join us on October 11th to mobilize against the settler recruitment fair in Queens, location TBA. All out to stop the sale of stolen land!

October 7th was the bravest display of anti-colonial resistance the world had seen since Algeria, Kenya, and Vietnam. It shattered Israel's invincibility, exposed Zionism, and cracked America's imperial hold on the Middle East.

That he threw a stick, (anything he could find, irregardless of what it is) at this highly advanced robotic murder weapon when he was already wounded and dying; it reminded me of how the Prophet SAW taught us that even if you know the Day of Judgement is upon you, and you are planting a seed for a tree— you still plant it.
That throw is faith and conviction in your cause right there. That is the unwavering nature of the Palestinian will right there.
That's how our martyrs become immortal and live on even when they are gone. You cannot kill them because they remain forever; through their defiance and resistance. Because of their example.
Because of the way they pave for others and the belief they instill through their actions.

There are many incredible videos on the day of Tufan al-Aqsa, but the one that I think of most is of two Palestinian martyrs riding at sunrise on the other side of the Gaza concentration camp for the first in their lives, when one says to the other: “Drive slowly.”

Today, on October 5th, The Sameer Project team were surrounded with bullets while distributing water in Eastern Salah El Deen. As you can see, men were crawling to avoid the shots coming from the military occupation.
Gaza needs support: chuffed.org/project/help-us-…
Palestinians are targeted every single day by the military occupation. The genocide never ended, and not a day passes by without martyrs and injuries.
The areas we cover as The Sameer Project are near the yellow line like Eastern Salah El Deen. The reason we go there is because people residing in those places barely get any aid, if any. They have nowhere else to go and they need support.
We also just got reports from Al Shujaiyyah intersection and Montazah Camp of hundreds of families, including women and children, are being shot at by the military occupation. Escalations are happening across the Gaza Strip in the last couple of days.
