#refugee

At least 8 #Palestinians, most of them #children, were killed & over a dozen others were wounded in #Gaza on Sunday in an #Israel missile strike.

The #IDF said it had intended to hit an Islamic Jihad militant in the area but that a malfunction had caused the missile to fall "dozens of metres from the target".

The strike hit a water distribution point in Nuseirat #refugee camp, killing 6 children & injuring 17 others, said Ahmed Abu Saifan, an emergency physician.

Global South feminists are reclaiming refugee discourse this 7th July.

Recently, 49 white South Africans claimed “refugee” status in the United States – a move that dangerously conflates white settler discomfort with real exile.

Migration: Johann Wadephul rechtfertigt Stopp von Zahlungen an Seenotrettung - DER SPIEGEL share.google/WV6GWTCr3NY9isfvs
Typisch deutsche Denkart. Wenn es keine eventuelle Rettung gibt, wird ja wohl kaum jemand eine Schlauchboot-Kreuzfahrt machen. 🤮 Bullshit! Aber wer nie echte Verzweiflung erfuhr oder sah, kriegt diese Empathie nicht gebacken.

@appassionato @bookstodon Thank you for recommending this powerful book. It is indeed a book for these times as people around the world are driven from their homes, communities and lives due to war, #climateBreakdown, persecution, #poverty, #fascism, and any number of other factors that rip us from the places and people we love. The life of a #refugee is no picnic nor is the #trauma that they carry as we read of these #Syrian refugees. #books #bookstodon #literaryfiction

you are not an "exile" because windows 10 is ending support. you are not a "refugee" for installing linux either. you are not a "survivor". there are actual people who meet the literal criteria for being a survivor, exile, refugee, etc who don't get to use these words for themselves and instead have the phrases co-opted for some technological moment where someone installs a different operating system on their computer. very frustrating. we can do better.
