Heya! Just a quick update: I’m going on a little break. A lot of stuff from tumblr stacked up on me (reblogging activism stuff mostly) and it’s just hit me full-on like a battering ram of stress and I think I need a break from social media. Could be a few days, could be a week and a bit. Haven’t decided yet. I may go on tumblr purely for messaging moots. Maybe.

As Captain America: New World Order is released I urge all fans who are against Zionism to flood the Captain America tags with messages of Boycott Sabra. All the links provided in the graphic are publicly available from their websites, and social media.
Anti-Zionism =/= Anti-Semitism!!! We are boycotting Sabra not because she is Jewish but because she represents a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist message that should not be platformed in any media. Her comics have Pro-IDF propaganda.
Marvel was made aware of the fact that this character promotes a Pro-Israeli & Anti-Palestinian sentiment when the character of Sabra was announced for Captain America 4, despite fan concern, and calls for Marvel to remove this character from the movie and despite have more than enough time to respond to what type of statement this would promote, a Pro-Zionist, Pro-Israel stance and despite reshoots Marvel has still chosen to keep Sabra in the movie. Shira Haas is the actress playing Sabra, she is Israeli and has shared Pro-Israel posts online even during the genocide of the Palestinians.
Marvel claims they will be reinventing the character however a character whose very nationality and backstory relies on Pro-Israel & Pro-Zionist ideals is irredeemable especially because not once in all her comic appearances does she ever change her Anti-Palestinian stance. Israel is currently committing a Genocide against Palestinians. Since of October 7th more than 30,000 Palestinians, of which over 12,000 are children, have been murdered by Israel. Over 60,000 have been injured, more missing, and millions displaced in Israel's genocide and ethnic cleansing of the people of Palestine. This is in addition the 75 year long occupation, countless war crimes, and 16 year blockade on Palestinians.
Marvel claims to care about Jewish characters, but Marvel hasn't even cast Jewish actors for Jewish Characters like Moonknight. Marvel choosing to back a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist character like Sabra sends a very clear message that aligns with Marvel Comics long held Anti-Palestinian sentiment. There are other Jewish characters for Jewish representation, such as Magneto, and Kitty Pryde, who were not created with a Pro-Israel, Pro-Zionist background.
BOYCOTT SABRA!!! Send a message, write a tweet, make a post, and tag Marvel and Disney and let them know why you are Boycotting Captain America: New World Order. I love Sam Wilson as Captain America but I will never support a movie that has Sabra as a character.
For more information about the character's history here is a breakdown of her appearances in Marvel Comics.
On the cover of Sabra's origin issue is the image of a dead Palestinian boy.

UPDATE: According to this tweet, it may seem like reshoots are happening, and the character was not listed in public record as of yet. Please keep up the pressure and call/write/make posts boycotting Sabra!!!
UPDATE
Marvel chose to change Sabra to an US government agent and ignore the fact that her entire character is extremely pro IDF & Anti Palestinian, Anti Arab, and previews of McDonald's toys have been leaked, showing a "Ruth" toy. Keep boycotting Captain America: Brave New World, and McDonald's!
a Palestinian from my local group of activists is fundraising to bring her family to Canada. Najlaa is currently less than halfway to her goal of $80,000. please consider donating to help her family.
donations will go towards:
1. Covering the expenses of accommodation in Cairo, Egypt, throughout the visa and biometric process.
2. Meeting the cost of flight tickets from Cairo to Canada.
3. Securing affordable and suitable housing.
4. Addressing monthly necessities such as groceries, utilities, clothing, and shoes.
5. Ensuring access to healthcare and therapy, crucial for the well-being of our family members.
6. Providing monthly financial support until they secure employment.
that's over $700 in a day. please keep spreading and donating to keep up and even increase that momentum. you will be helping Najlaa's family including her brothers and sisters in law and her nieces and nephews - a family of 21 people! and remember, every little bit counts. if everyone who reblogged this donated 5 dollars, that would be almost $10,000. it's okay if you can donate even just $1, it all adds up.
donations have slowed down considerably. once again, please consider donating even a small amount, it still helps!
please keep sharing and donating, and thank you to everyone who has helped so far <3
POV: You discover the Phantom Thief and her team that have all eluded you for months are all idiots (affectionate).
As you can see, my humour is better than my art skills, and that isn't saying much lol. At least both are better than my phone camera.
Edit: forgot to write her name down the third speech bubble belongs to Sofia.
now more than ever, please vet gofundmes before you donate.
copy and paste descriptions into google to see if there are scam accounts reusing the same story, check to see if there are any images/updates on the fund with faces. go to the original blog, check if the post asking for help is only an hour old, or even less than that. refrain from donating if all it links to is a PayPal account, without any further confirmation of identity.
it’s horrible to say but it’s never been a better time for scam artists to exploit your generosity, when things seem so dire, and I’ve donated to campaigns before only to realise later that the entire story was stolen from an actual family in need. due diligence might take a few more minutes out of your day but at least you won’t be sending money to an opportunistic scumbag.
for campaigns on tumblr: please check out @/el-shab-hussein's list of verified fundraisers here on tumblr and also @/nabulsi. they both do incredible work at vetting campaigns.
there is also this spreadsheet made by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.
other places to find vetted fundraisers are the operation olive branch spreadsheet and also gazafunds.

Hani is less than half-way to his goal, and urgently needs to evacuate his family. Hani's house was destroyed on October 13th, and since then, his family has been displaced, living in tents.
On September 15th, his father lost his life due to the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital. Because of this terrible injustice, Hani is now the only hope for saving his family - which consists of 10 members: his sisters (which includes two toddlers: a 2 and 3 year old), 3 minors, and his 18-year-old brother.
Hani currently lives in Belgium. He left Gaza for Italy to represent Palestine in a skate competition - but his life has been completely transformed since then. He lost his father, his home, and now he is in constant fear that he will lose the rest of his family. At 23 years old, this is one of the most stressful positions a person could ever be in.
Help Hani's family survive by donating to their evacuation fund. The smallest donation will make the biggest difference. We can all pitch in. If you cannot donate, you should absolutely spread the word.
In my obsession with Iggy Overwatch my brain has fast forwarded to Iggy-Emily friendship which of course derailed into wanting more facts about Emily herself.
So here are so loose and dirty headcanons on Tracer’s beautiful gorlfrank Emily Overwatch
