After a prolonged, deafening silence, the fat community has finally taken a stand on Gaza. Introducing “Fatties for a Free Palestine”, the latest woke social-media trend to take the Middle East’s most intractable, awful conflict and reduce it to a fashion statement.
This is the brainchild of Hannah Moushabeck, a Palestinian American author and activist, in collaboration with designer Phoebe Wahl and a lifestyle blog called Fat Girl Flow. Essentially, it looks like a t-shirt design with pretensions to being a political movement.
For $39 you can get your hands on a standard or a cropped tee, emblazoned with “Fatties for a Free Palestine’, surrounded by flowers, watermelons and cutesy cartoon figures. If you’re on the larger side of plus-size, you might want to hurry, though. The 4X, 5X and 6X cropped versions are already sold out.
In an Instagram post, Moushabeck says the war in Gaza “affects people in my life personally”. And to be clear, this doesn’t seem to be a grift: all of the profits are going to a Middle East children’s charity. “This is one small project in a lifetime of work I have been doing for the liberation of Palestine”, Moushabeck says.
But this is also one in a long line of memes and movements that has essentially given woke activists an excuse to take the Palestinian issue and make it all about them: to share the hashtag, cop the t-shirt, fly the flag, feel “seen”, be righteous. This is “me, me, me” masquerading as solidarity.

Fatties for a Jew-Free Palestine
There are many schizoaffective people of all sorts in American society. Most are Democrats and they gravitate to organizations and movements like Hamas.
I was really wondering which way the fatties would break.

The fatwah had to be issued first.
How about left-handed lesbians seagulls against global warming?

And your stomach, and your arms, and every other part of you. If you can handle looking at grossly obese people, then you can look at their horrible political views.
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life son.
I don’t think I can stomach much more of this.
Man, those are some ugly looking MF’ers. Eye bleach desperately needed.
