#Israel is not a country

Who here would like to join me in saying

"FUCK ISRAEL"?

UPDATE AS OF 2024-04-17: I did not expect this post of mine to get so much attention so quickly. Indeed, this post is my first post that has gotten over a thousand notes. This said, a couple of people have asked me to repost GoFundMes they have to try and get their relatives out of Gaza. Therefore, I would like to highlight to you all the two GoFundMes in question:

The first comes from @abuomar95, and the second comes from @doniatanani.

I accidentally found a Jewish/Israel community and the way some of the members talk about Palestine and its situation is disgusting, using terms like "pro-pals" to describe people who support Palestine.

Yet also, other members seem to get harassed for their culture and religion, for the very fact that they're Jewish.

If you call a person an antisemite for not supporting the genocide currently occuring in Palestine, fuck you.

If you allow yourself to jump on the situation to BE or have an "excuse" to be an antisemite to Jewish people who did nothing, whether to you or to others, fuck you as well.

Is it that hard to be decent.

Must go viral

An ex-U.S. serviceman tears apart the Israeli flag in protest of the ongoing Israeli atrocities against innocent civilians

Daily reminder that being pro Palestine is not a reason to anti Jewish

[queenie-says-free-palestine]

its not a conflict, you dont have two peoples, two states, two nations on equal footing, you have an occupier and an occupied. you have a coloniser and you have the colonised.

normalize ✨calling ✨ israel ✨ a ✨ colony ✨ instead ✨ of ✨a ✨ country ✨

[alex-dontknow]

Palestines “over a millennia” what the fuck?????????? Which millennia? When the Greeks named Philistia? Or when the Romans named it Palestina? Or when the flag was created in the 60s? Like where are we starting from. Or how about the fact that Jews were there also for a millenia predating any mention of Philistia/Palestina/whatever you want to call it. Calling zionists brain dead while you yourself are brain dead isn’t the slay you think it is, it’s sad. Stick to weird ass moth furry oc’s instead of conflicts you just learned about and are using to virtue signal to everyone :)))))))))))

what the fuck are you yapping about lmao israel became a nation in 1948 you lackluster buffoon

also palestine's had history wayyyy back into the BCE era *cough* Nafutian Culture

also would you like to know how a lot of isnotraeli "culture" is also stolen? for example the keffiyeh? the dances? the food? all taken from Arab culture.

do some proper research instead of cherry picking what fulfills your zionist fantasies anon :3

[send-up-my-heart-to-you]

Pls rant about something. infodump to me. I want a loooooong one about your interests. I require something to read

not really an interest, more something i dont shut up abt, but here you go: the rant about an arab muslim about palestine and israel (imma try to explain the whole situation from the beginning but dont surprised if i get pissy at times)

zionists, not jews

first off, i wanna clarify this: zionists are who i blame for palestine. not jews. jews are an ethnoreligious group, zionists are people who support the creation of israel and encourage the literal recreation of the holocaust that theyre creating. im not anti-semitic, im anti-zionist. know the difference.

okay, now thats out of the way, lemme explain this next point: how did the conflict even begin? (i feel the need to explain this bc the media never does and the history is so so important)

the history

zionist movements began in maybe mid 19th century, jews worldwide were being persecuted and they wanted a land to themselves. they had their eyes set on palestine, even tho the palestinian bedouins there have been living in palestine for at least 1500 years

wwii left millions of jews stranded, so in 1947, the united nations suggested dividing palestine into a jewish and arab state. the jews accepted, but the arabs rejected it. this rejection was ultimately ignored, and israel declared itself a state in 1947, leading to palestinian arabs being displaced and a war starting between israel and arab nations. this was known as nakba—literally the arabic word for disaster, it mainly refers to palestinians being displaced after israel declared independence

the six-day war of 1967 was a conflict ultimately won by israel—they took control of the west bank, the gaza strip, and east jerusalem. conflicts got worse from here, and violence against civilians grew. its been snowballing since then

is it between jews and muslims?

no. its between jews and arabs. palestinian christians are some of the oldest communities of christianity worldwide, some being able to trace their history back to the birth of the church. its between the jews that claim the land to be theirs, and the arabs who have actually been on the land for longer than the 75 years since israel was formed (nearly 14 centuries longer, to be exact)

why i care so much

its not just because im arab, or just because im a muslim. of course, it is partially that—seeing my brothers and sisters get killed hurts me, esp knowing that theres not much i can do except pray to god that this ends.

yes, israeli citizens die every year bc of the conflict. im not saying that number is nothing. but the palestinian civilian fatalities are so much worse.

the total deaths from 2008 to 2020 for palestine is over 20 times more than israeli deaths. (note that this graph is not up to date and does not include the hundreds of palestinians who have died since 2020. no, im not exaggerating. hundreds. i wish i was.)

some of my best friends are palestinian. the idea that they know people, or their parents know people, who have died at the hands of israelis, is absolutely not acceptable.

like my friends, millions of palestinians are now scattered across the globe, or in danger in their own country where zionists are trying to take their land.

this conflict is disgusting and wrong. jews have less of a right to that land than arabs. yes, jews have been living w arabs in that land for centuries, but its always been predominantly arabs. always has been, always should be.

and yet zionists refuse to accept it. take a look at this article from the times of israel:

kanye is infamous for supporting hitler. all jenna did was say that palestinians deserve to live.

this honestly tells you more than anything else can.

The amount of people I've seen be antisemetic is insane. Just because we dislike Israel does not mean we dislike our jewish siblings. Again, Israel is antithetical to Judaism, and they are using it as a shield. We have had jewish activists stand against Israel because of it's antithesis. If you are antisemetic, you are missing the point of supporting Palestine. This is not a war of Religion, this is a genocide commited by corrupt politicians.

[antizionazi]

The far-right Israeli Finance Minister's plan to annex the occupied West Bank aims to thwart any possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. Smotrich has vowed to construct an illegal Israeli settlement on stolen Palestinian lands for every country that officially recognizes Palestine.

[queenie-says-free-palestine]

went shopping for keffiehs yesterday w my mom n we found out that palestinians cant sell black n white keffiehs. n palestinians wearing them in public isnt allowed.

theyre gonna send them directly go my house, but how disgusting is that? the thing is, the place we went to is a market FULL of diversity. ppl sell mkhawir, saris, serb folk dresses, EVERYTHING. and in a country w 200k palestinians, theyre not allowed to wear their own traditional clothes, when everyone else is.

my government embarasses me.
