#Arab people

[marylily-my-beloved]

Marauders as Arabs P3: the marauders + reg (made with @queenie-blackthorn hehe Arab besties <3) (P1) (P2) 

Black Brothers (Sirius and Regulus): Qatari. They are from Qatar like most of the Black family and they’re rich rich (like Saudi rich…). They understand every dialect because the black family is literally scattered all over the khaleej, like all over. 

Remus is Palestinian (free Palestine btw), you can tell he’s from Palestine, immediately, especially if you’re Arab. He doesn’t have that heavy of an accent and like the man he is he barely understands other dialects that aren’t similar to his 

Peter is Egyptian, not with much of an accent though, his accent is very like understandable and he can speak a lot of different dialects if he wants to. He can understand all the dialects too. 

James is a mix of Syrian and Saudi (his mom is Saudi and his dad is Syrian) and he has a really heavy Syrian dialect (who else thinks the word dialect sounds so weird?) and can understand some dialects.

Wait... wasn't the horrible genocide in Syria perpetuated through Putin? Poor Syrians. How did the US play in that atrocity? Same with Libya?

As someone who volunteers at a refugee center that specifically serves middle eastern refugees, and is the daughter of an immigrant Iraqi woman: exactly this. Arabs are routinely accused of being terrorists, but it’s Arab countries that are practically getting eradicated every single day. This has been happening over and over, and it’s getting extremely tired that it slides every time. And yet Biden has said with his whole chest that there would be more US-UK airstrikes on Yemen incoming. Fucking insane that anti-Arab racism gets a world stage & everyone’s just okay with it. Ceasefire now.

I know Arab people care a lot about their image. So I feel like the people who are on Dubai Bling and Real Housewives of Dubai are not native to the UAE. They literally just moved there from their original country.

i saw someone point out the frequency with which liberals back social justice movements... how, for instance, when ferguson happened under obama it was not popular and there were many, many liberals who found the blm movement, in a sense, "in violation of [liberal] sensibilities" (when liberalism as a rule does not challenge the status quo, only maintains it and sees any call for revolution or real change as disruptive or 'bad for optics' and therefore not acceptable) but then when trump became president and he opposed blm a lot more liberals decided that the blm movement had merit because they viewed it from a team-sports perspective rather than a worldview based on morals and an understanding of the systems in place in the U.S. - that it was more comfortable for them to operate from a "trump bad" basis rather than "the american justice system and the police are inherently white supremacist, which are inherently, automatically, and always violent"

+ that, if trump was president while israel is carrying out its genocide, liberals would have NO problem denouncing israel and demanding for a ceasefire because they're comfortable operating from the 2-party system basis, NOT from a framework based on material conditions or factors or any acknowledgement or analysis of imperialism, colonialism, or capitalism. but because biden is a democrat, and democrats are supposed to be "the decent party" "the lesser evil" "more respectable" when, in functionality - in real practice, they don't want to disrupt the status quo. (internally, maintaining systems of white supremacy and capitalism; externally, furthering U.S. imperialism by maintaining hegemony and continuing the practice of exploitation and extraction of labor+capital+resources from the global south)

which is why we're here, a month into a genocide, and liberals are so cowardly and gutless that, in the face of our democrat president allowing and funding the genocide of palestinians in order for the U.S. to maintain its military base in the middle east, liberals IMMEDIATELY jump to "well, you HAVE to vote for him still, because trump will be worse!" and go "well im powerless there's nothing i can do", immediately folding like a wet paper bag in the face of the american empire rearing its ugly head in the most blatant, naked way in years, instead of thinking "this is unacceptable, i should pressure my elected officials and do everything i can - be it combating propaganda, contacting my congresspeople or senators, protesting, or engaging in direct action - to ensure this stops as quickly as possible".

there are liberals STILL IN MY NOTIFICATIONS who go "well you'll be electing a fascist if you vote for trump" not realizing that YOU CAN'T SIMPLY VOTE FASCISM AWAY. (which is not to say you should vote for republicans; that's not what i'm saying. none of us have said it.) we're pretty much already there. it's 2003 all over again, with the patriot act and all. the american war machine is pumping out racist, orientalist, pro-colonial, pro-genocide propaganda on behalf of the ethno-state america and its allies have backed since the so-called state's inception. people are being doxxed, fired, harassed, and attacked for visibly supporting palestine/opposing israel. islamophobic hate crimes are on the rise; a 6 year old boy was murdered not one month ago, an arab doctor in texas was stabbed to death. antisemitism is on the rise as well, thanks to the conflation of antisemitism with anti-zionism (which nazis have and will attempt to co-op in order to 'justify' + then act on their antisemitism, racism, and genocidal worldviews). our government is silencing people, brutalizing protestors, and arming and funding an ethno-state committing genocide - everything that would have been called fascist if it was under trump. but because it's a *democrat* liberals place "vote blue no matter who" and "optics" over the extremely basic moral stance that "genocide is wrong and people have the right to self-determination, autonomy, and life". arabs and muslims are already so dehumanized in the west that liberals (whether they consider themselves liberals or not) consider it an inconvenience to talk about the ongoing genocide that is happening with the blessing of OUR government. in this they expose their selfishness, the shallowness of their morals, their chauvinism, and their racism/orientalism/islamophobia/et cetera.

for example, if you see israeli troops waving a gay pride flag and the israeli state touting its support of gay people while said iof soldiers are murdering men, women, and children en masse every single day and you somehow????? think that because gay people are the ones doing the killing or a state claims to support gay people is doing the killing is ok then 1) you have fallen for pinkwashing propaganda and 2) that you find the murder of palestinians, or any people, permissible by a colonial force that uses causes liberals may genuinely care about in order to disguise, whitewash, or "lessen" the severity of the injustices it does unto usually black and brown people outside of the U.S., then you are just as bloodthirsty and depraved as anyone you would personally assign those descriptors of.

once again, it goes back to resorting to a team-sport understanding of the world rather than approaching it from a material one.

[a-s-fischer]

I just can't get over how much of a confession it is when somebody says, "I'm not antisemitic, Jews aren't even really a semitic people anyway".

What you're saying with that line of logic is that yep, you hate Jews. You just don't want to be called the word for people who hate Jews.

Woke north Americans: Decolonize Canada! Decolonize America! Decolonize language! Decolonize law! Decolonize education! Decolonize blah blah blah!

Guys, you can't even handle Israel. A country made from a decolonization project. Trust me, you arent looking to really decolonize North America, you are just looking to sound good.

“why do you write jason speaking arabic?” “why is jason speaking arabic he’s not arab.”

fun fact : jason canonically knows a little arabic. so this confirms what i already know that people don’t actually read comics and only take fanon as gospel.

all the languages comic!jason knows:

russian (lost days #5) some arabic (rhato #21) german (lost days #3) portuguese (batman eternal #13) spanish (rh: the hill)

⠀𐂯

note: i’d still write him speaking arabic even if it wasn’t a canon thing. in my head he’s a very romantic person and arabic is the language of love to me so it suits him

i know the quest of educating people never ends, but it does kind of bum me out that even in the year of 2023 we need to go out of our way to explain the simplest concepts to people. “you should give a fuck that a whole country is being genocided” seems like a relatively easy to understand sentiment, and yet you will still have people out there coming up w a thousand and one reasons for why it’s none of their concern. it blows my mind every fucking time. we really do need to teach people to care about other people and that is insane to me. like what basic human rights do you need to be spoon fed next??? should we also be pointing out that poor people are also people
