Kashmir - Don’t Blink

[video id: This is Kashmir under occupation in 107 seconds. Ready? Try not to blink. 3… 2… 1…. In August 2019, India revokes Kashmir’s semi-autonomous special status. Insert is a clip of India’s Prime Minister Modi saying, “This is dawn of a new era” in hindi. Escalating their reign of terror. Communication shut down. Media blackout. Propaganda. Fake News. Because India (really) wants to hide its OPPRESSION. Insert is a clip of state sanctioned violence. In the background, chants of “Azaadi,” freedom in Urdu is heard. Seventy two long brutally fascist, record-shattering, completely inhuman years later, this is what Kashmir looks like: 738,000 Indian troops deployed. That is one solider for every eleven civilians in Kashmir. $1.4 billion lost in two months. (Economy shattered) 8 million people disconnected. Every single one. Every last one. 4000 people arrested. Bye Bye Democracy. Countless injuries, wounds, death and the Kashmir Valley, yes the Kashmir Valley now looks like this. Insert images of heavily militarized Kashmir Valley. While the Indian army has complete impunity to kill, abuse, rape. Yes, we said rape. 5000+ reported victims. Fact. Just how India has turned Kashmir into the world’s largest prison in 2019. Oh yeah, and the pellet guns. License to blind. (ICYMI) Shot in the face. Insert images of people shot in the face with pellet guns and showing other injuries. 17 killed, 6211 injured. 718 blinded. Even children. Tick Tock. And it gets worse. Nearly 6000 unmarked graves. Abductions. 8000 people have “disappeared.” All leaders under arrest. No political representation allowed. #Fascism. #RealFascism. And its not just physical. 45% adults under distress. 50% women suffer depression. 22% women have PTSD. Only one psychiatric hospital and 215,000 children are orphans. But Kashmir won’t give up on its DREAM. Insert is numerous clips of protests. A man cries out, “What do we want?” in hindi, following the crowd chants back, “Azaadi” multiple times. Are the leaders of the world listening? And oh, check out all this other stuff: Kashmiris have endured electrocution, stripped naked, electrocuted in genitals, hanged upside down, aeroplane stress position, head dunked….. [video cuts to all the violence inflicted upon Kashmiris] And now you know. Which means it is the the time for you to act. #StandWithKashmir end id]
Gina Carano did not get fired from The Mandalorian for being transphobic.
Her being transphobic is not at all okay either,
She basically just compared Holocaust victims to having different political opinions.
I’m Jewish. I really don’t like when someone compares the genocide of 6 million of my people to having a different political opinion! Do you realize how fucked up that is?!
