most infuriating comment I've seen on the internet was on some video I forgot what it was about but I think it was talking about petra in jordan or something and the commenter was like "this is why we need to take those artifacts to our museums where they can be appreciated because otherwise they will be destroyed by the wars there" and literally the blood boiled up to my head I honestly threw my phone away and had to go do something else for a bit. this was years ago. it is absolutely insane to me that there are people who exist out there who truly think this way and have no shame in it. they like our things and our culture but value their ability to "appreciate" them more than the peoples who made them and preserve them.

the oldest city in the world is in iraq and there were artifacts there that stood the test in time until fucking usa started a war there. reminds me of lebanon recently when israel bombed baalbek which is famous for old ruins dating back to phoenician and roman times.

westerners destroy our lands and steal our history and make up rules of "civility" based on what works for them then call us savages for "not maintaining our culture" or sometimes "not having" one but they somehow always want our things, completely ignoring the human factor and counting our lives as meaningless or disposable. fucking colonizers.

 An election candidate criticized by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs for “troubling” and “damaging” social media posts is no longer running for Nova Scotia’s New Democratic Party in the Nov. 26 general election, the party says.

In a news release Saturday, the provincial NDP said Tammy Jakeman is no longer the party’s candidate in the Eastern Passage district, which is south of Halifax.

“New Democrats are committed to ensuring the safety and dignity of all members of the Jewish community and Nova Scotians of all faiths,” the release said. “We recognize that everyone running for office has a responsibility to ensure that their comments do not cause undue harm.”

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs issued a news release Friday which included pictures of two posts by an account bearing Jakeman’s name on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

One, from November 2023, responds to a World Children’s Day post from the Auschwitz Memorial by saying that children in Gaza will die because “Israel is obsessed with killing all Hamas, regardless of the human expenses.” In another, also from 2023, the same Jakeman account retweets a post that said “Apartheid Israel is at its happiest when terrorizing Palestinians.”

As of Saturday afternoon, the account appeared to no longer exist on the platform. Jakeman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Come on Canada what the fuck. Why can't you just stop being evil fucking colonisers for once in your shitty history.

The Montreal Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies (MIGS) is permanently ceasing operations, Concordia University confirmed last Friday. In a notice published on its website, the university blamed “budgetary constraints” for the decision. “We extend our sincere gratitude to all faculty, staff, students and partners who dedicated themselves to advancing MIGS’ mission over the years,” the university wrote. The institute was long considered one of Canada’s leading think tanks, working to develop better policies to protect human rights.

ok last thing. but what people fundamentally need to get through their heads is the significance of gaza fundraisers not being the same as like mutual aid when you're helping someone get groceries, because it is a genocide. there is insane deliberate scarcity and prices are unmanageable, because there is nowhere nearly enough for everyone, so only people who can pay can eat. and what positioning individual fundraisers as the only course of action does is quite simply give a tiny percentage of random people whose fundraisers take off the ability to pay those prices while thousands of others can't. and every one of those thousands of people without a fundraiser is suffering through the same inconceivably horrific reality. it is giving a few completely desperate people out of hundreds of thousands a slightly more favorable position in a horrific war economy of imposed scarcity. and what grassroots community kitchens do is try to mitigate in some small way that inconceivable hierarchy of who can pay and who can't, by stretching ingredients as far as they can last to cook meals at large scale and give them out at no cost. and obviously people are still going to send money to their friends and families because this is hell what else are we supposed to do but please just think about that before promoting endless individual fundraisers as somehow the most ethical way to help

One of the Palestinians in my DMs just asked me how much do I charge for sharing and promoting evacuation campaigns.

I hope every single motherfucker making money off of this genocide, even on such a small scale, suffers horrors incomprehensible to humanity. My fucking god.

Palestinians Will Not Be Allowed To Return To Northern Gaza

As predicted, Israel waited until Tuesday, Nov. 5th, 2024, the date of the US Presidential election, to officially announce that Palestinians are in the process of being ethnically cleansed from North Gaza.

Doing Zionism quietly, like clockwork.

Senators are going to vote on whether or not we should continue to send aid to Israel on Wednesday, November 13th. Call them, bombard their phone lines with calls. Every fucking day. We have a chance of doing something about this.
