Yes, dear friend. The veil is thinning. God is preparing His army. All the cold-hearted, the cruel—those who remain complicit in genocide through their silence, those who choose to look the other way—are being sifted. Their souls are being weighed.

This is the time. A moment of reckoning.
We must all choose.

I truly hope you make the right choice, because I love you, and I believe you have a good heart.

Children's innocence is no less than that of animals; they are just as pure in their suffering. So why do we turn our backs when they are in pain?

Those who care can't do anything and those who can don't care. This is the truth. We have to endure this and realize that democracy is a lie and freedom is a lie, and First World countries are a also lie. Just a big bubble of lies.

"those who can, don’t..."
And that is exactly the point. They are exposing themselves.
Like rats in the sewage, they believe the darkness hides them.
But they do not know it, that in darkness, they are more exposed.

Darkness is where they are truly seen. The outer light is a distraction, a spectacle of shadows. But the inner light shines through only in darkness. And now, it shines.
Poor creatures...Their ugliness is coming to the surface, more and more.
This is the time of revelation.

I can’t access the links though my phone

ofcourse you can't, but I suspect it's media blackout most probably. You have to live outside countries of "freedom and democracy" to know what's going on around the world.

It’s probably just my phone

Like sometimes I can’t access this site

Go ahead and try your computer. Things have spiraled so far out of control that they’ve lost most of their grip on the situation.

sorry, I tried with laptop but i get the same result as with phone.

Maybe it's better this way. You were never truly there for their cause, anyway. Some might say, “Who am I to judge?”—that they grieved quietly, that their sorrow was private. But while children were being massacred, we chose to talk about avocados. We "Cried a River" over everything except the ongoing genocide.

We said nothing when they were starved deliberately, ethnically cleansed while the world watched. We were silent when they were shot crawling on the ground, begging for food. We didn’t react when their flour were poisoned with opioids, when doctors were assassinated, and when ambulances were buried with the dead inside—to erase the evidence.

We said nothing, not a single verse as poets. And maybe now, silence suits us. Because silence is not neutral. It has weight. And it chooses a side.

As Rumi said:
"This song of the reed is fire, not mere wind—
Whoever’s heart lacks this flame is as if he never lived."

Double post

Everlasting : Also tell me, is your judging stoping the genocide?
Also tell me, how’s me posting about the genocide going to stop it?

It’s ironic how you keep double-posting, yet keep your vision single-minded.
To truly fight darkness, you cannot only resist the genocidal state, doing so you also declare war against the inner darkness.
This is the true meaning of double vision:
To see both the evil in the world and the shadow within, the two way street.

When one hides in shadow, one begins to internalize it,
and with it, indifference.

No single judge can stop a genocide.
Freedom is collective.
It’s Kantian morality that teaches:
Act as if your action were to become a universal law.

If you betray a friend,
if you steal,
if you are indifferent,
what would happen to humanity if everyone followed your lead?

You cannot excuse your action, or inaction, as insignificant.
Because in the moral fabric of the world,
everything echoes.

It’s ironic how you keep double-posting, yet keep your vision single-minded.

^ I have poor signal. Internet is slow.

^ as far as I know, double vision can be attributed to retinoic acid.

and with it, indifference.

^ are you speaking from experience? I’m honestly tired of empty words. Your words are empty.

Do you even wonder why I want to plant avocado trees? May be if only I had avocado trees, I could feed the hungry instead of just speaking about how much hunger is in the world.

Avocado trees take years to a grow. It’s not even guaranteed that it’ll give fruits but guess what? I do not have resources to feed all the hunger in the world. But I have hope that perhaps if I were to learn how to grow an avocado tree, and if god permits, that tree might give fruits.

You are stuck in repeat. Stuck in a loop.

Don’t be mad at me, Rocero. I didn’t say anything with bad intentions. You’re frustrated because you don’t want to stretch beyond your comfort zone.
If I’d wanted to be mean, you gave me more than enough leverage, that avocado tree logic was ripe for the picking, but that wasn’t my aim.

Years ago when we met, you used to handle criticism well. You even encouraged it—said it helped you loosen your self-importance. But now, I feel like I have to tiptoe.
You’re easily irritated. Nowadays, you haven’t adjusted to the norms—you define them.

I pretended you were joking about the “double vision” thing, trying to pass it off as if it was about an optical disorder using clever rhetoric.
But you knew damn well by double vision I meant seeing both sides of the coin.

If you truly misunderstood me, then fine—chalk it up to miscommunication. But if you twisted it on purpose, then we’re lacking the basic honesty that makes meaningful dialogue possible.

You say my words are empty. Alright. I’m sorry you see it that way. Maybe one day you’ll look back and reconsider, realize that reflection on the wine made it look like the barrel was empty. And if not, so be it. That’s no longer my concern. We’re all where we are, struggling in the mud, trying to reach the other side.
So good luck, my friend, in your conquests.

As they say:
To know others is knowledge.
To know yourself is enlightenment.

Im not mad. Today is actually pretty weird. Cell phone has no signal though that’s on me today. And people…

I wonder if full moon is coming or something else is going on. People are Uhmm not sure how to explain it but weird stuff happening. People acting odd

“You say my words are empty“

^ your words are empty Sir. Fill them with something else ‘cause well Uhmm …

“I pretended you were joking about the “double vision” thing, trying to pass it off as if it was about an optical disorder using clever rhetoric.

I was joking lol but I’m also Uhmm for real it has something to do with retinoic acid and vitamin A metabolism ñ. Plus I’m seeing it from both sides of the coin.

And if I’m honest, from time to time I struggle with double vision. Gee, I have to squeeze my eyes to see clearly. Else I’m blind.

“To know others is knowledge.
To know yourself is enlightenment.“

^ cheers to that

By the way, it’s summer. I have kiddos at home. Blended family. If I don’t respond, I’m surviving. However, I do want to host a contest. So whoever reading here, let me know if you are interested - search for the contest thread.

Thanks for sharing Ddavidd. As always all the best.

To anyone interested, there is a way to directly help the people of Gaza that my family and I have been doing for a while. Aid organisations are either blocked or corrupt. There are youtubers in Gaza who rely on donations to buy as much food as possible and distribute it as much as they can in the refugee camps that they're in and they post videos as proof. Of course YouTube suppresses them, but they can't take them down as their videos don't breach any policies. I'll list 2 of these channels here. If you have the means, then this is the best way to help them survive. Some have PayPal links in their description, or you can donate through the "Thanks" button on YouTube, or some have cryptocurrency wallet links also. Yes, PayPal and YouTube are complicit, but they have no choice but to use these platforms to survive in these extreme circumstances.

Protests, posts, things like these are good but let's be honest, they don't help much on the ground as we know too well that the Western and unfortunately Arab governments are complicit. The populations are boiling, but the governments are complicit. So by all means, post about it to spread awareness, attend protests and be heard, these are great things to do, but if you have the means, even just a little bit, find ways like this to donate directly to the people on the ground as this helps them the most.

To give you an idea, a bag of flour is upwards of $800usd there now. Sugar is even more expensive. They have resorted to eating grass and leaves in many places in the North. Anything they get through donations helps and the rewards you will get for helping are beyond measure, whether you believe in the afterlife or not. There are many Palestinians turning to Youtube to make cooking videos or other videos with what little they have that you can also donate to, just search and you'll find them. They do this because it keeps the youtube censors at bay as they can't directly make videos about what's going on in fear they'll be taken down and demonetised.

These 2 are the most well known Gazan Youtubers who have been consistently helping their communities since the beginning of this genocide. They were well known in their communities prior to the genocide. Their videos are in Arabic, but you can clearly see the work they do in them despite the language barrier. They try to stay positive, but compare earlier videos to recent ones and you can see the amount of weight they've lost. Still, they resist.

https://www.youtube.com/@COOLRozelaFlowers << This man is a well known gardener who used to teach people how to grow their own food prior to the genocide. He now dedicates himself to raising money to buy food to distribute to people while still teaching them to grow their own food and helping to grow food.

All the best and may Allah reward you for even the most minute of thoughts or pinpricks of pain that you have and feel for the Palestinians and all of the oppressed around the world.

You said:
"Protests, posts—things like these are good, but let's be honest, they don't help much."

Oh, come on.
Do you really think all these sanctions, all these millions of people chanting “Death Death to the...,” “Bomb, bomb... '' they all amounts to nothing?
Do you think the tireless sharing of videos exposing atrocities didn’t help bring this about?
There’s a Shia Muslim about to become the mayor of New York City—the Zionist stronghold.
Millions are marching for Palestine.
University students across the country are risking their futures, their diplomas, their safety—raising the Palestinian flag in open defiance.
Where do you think this momentum comes from?
Of course, there are deeper levels of involvement. Yes—financially supporting Palestinians is a more tangible, form of solidarity, especially now, in the face of mass starvation and genocide.
But to dismiss all of this, the mobilizing, the awareness-sharing, the cultural pressure, the resistance through art, through sharing the truth, and say we should abandon it all and just focus on charity? That’s not realism. That’s naivety.
Haven’t you heard? Tyrants intercept the aid. They block the convoys.
So what should we do? Sit back, stay quiet, and wait for Everlasting’s avocado tree to bear fruit?

In no place in what I wrote did I dismiss activism. I said it doesn't help much and meant it in the context of the genocide and people being massacred. It's the harsh reality, protests have not stopped the genocide so in terms of human lives being lost due to hunger specifically, which is what I was talking about, a more practical way is to support the people on the ground directly if you have the means to. Protests and activism help with change in the long term, but for right now, if you have the means, the most urgent thing is to help these people to survive.

Some aid gets in, thugs that work for the Israeli's steal it and sell it to the people at extortionate prices that they can barely afford. When they can't afford it, they travel to the GHF where they risk getting gunned down by the American mercenaries to receive a food parcel, if they even get one. So to me and most people, supporting them directly right now and preventing as many as possible from having to travel to get aid and risk death is a bigger priority.

Boycott, protest, do what you can, they all help, but the reality is the people on the ground are starving and need to eat and protests aren't what's feeding them. If they all die then all the protests and activism in the world won't bring them back. Help to keep them alive so that when the activism finally works, they will be there to see it. That is the point I'm making.

I see your points, and your frustration. We’re not far apart in our views.
I appreciate and respect any effort made for the Palestinian people. Whether it’s money, time, risking one’s future, safety, enduring beatings, or even imprisonment, each form of resistance carries weight. Some acts are not as visible or glorious. Sharing a link, posting on a silenced platform, like this one, may seem small, but they carry light into dark places.
They may not be dramatic, but they are far better than remaining silent, which only collaborates with inhumanity by preserving darkness.
Thanks to all these scattered efforts, people are no longer untouched. The truth has been exposed. And now, everyone’s real fabric is being revealed under that same light.
Change takes time. It is excruciating to be patient while people suffer, while children starve. But something is shifting. The world is awakening, not just to the bloodshed, but to the deep injustice behind it.
Palestinian blood is not being spilled in vain. It’s uniting people, stripping away illusions, exposing the true oppressors. The deceivers can no longer hide behind wealth or manufactured narratives.
The true cause of Jerusalem is being fulfilled, not by slogans or politics, but by the dignity and sacrifice of the real children of God: the Palestinians.

So what should we do? Sit back, stay quiet, and wait for Everlasting’s avocado tree to bear fruit?

^^ ohhhhh EVERLASTING avocado tree!!!

Imagine if that tree never stopped giving fruits?

Oh I may have misread that.

Edit: I guess the above is not related to the one you shared. I subscribed to this one but in the suggestions was showing the above video and videos from the one you shared.

"^ I subscribed and I was watching the above video. What language is he speaking? I only understood “avocado!”"

Thank you for subscribing, the views help them to raise some money which all helps in the end.

He's speaking Arabic and is explaining how to grow an Apricot tree from a seed. He seems to be a gardener and explains that he's planted plum, almond, avocado and various other fruit bearing trees that have all bore fruit and have fed people. He says the one tree that gave him some difficulty is apricot, so he's made this video to help explain to people how to plant and raise them correctly from a seed so that they bear fruit. He said it's difficult to get them to grow and bear fruit properly, but that it's very possible, and goes on to explain that he planted 3 apricot seeds in the pot that he shows with the sapling in it and basically says that you can do it too. That's the translation of the first 30secs more or less.

That's the gist of the video really. My Arabic isn't too good unfortunately as I was born in Australia so English is my first language, but I'm pretty sure what I understood from his is accurate. The title of the video more or less means "don't throw away the seeds after eating apricots, you can grow the best apricot tree for free".

You'll find a lot of the popular Palestinian channels share links or recommend videos of lesser known channels so that they can get support too, particularly if they live in an an area where aid is much harder to come by and is much more expensive to buy, like in the North. So COOL's channel raises money and buys a bunch of food to support and feed the refugee camp that he's in, same with Sawah's channel, as they can only provide for so many people. So them helping to boost other channels and expose them to the world opens opportunities for support to reach them too, so that they can do the same as COOL and Sawah and provide for their local community. They're doing their best to help prevent their people from having to travel to the American GHF "humanitarian" zones and risk getting shot for food.
