#Palestinians fought for their lives and were slaughtered by this man

[that-rad-jewish-girl]

I know these protestors don’t give a rat’s ass about Palestinians. I knew this since Oct. 7th, but I feel recent happenings help put the nail in the coffin.

Sinwar is dead. And these people celebrate him as a hero, a warrior, and a leader in “the cause”.

This man was nicknamed the “butcher of Khan Younis”. Over many years, he’s been killing Palestinians on suspicion of colluding against Hamas. In 2019, Palestinians marched in the “We Want to Live” Gaza protest against Hamas’ rule. Sinwar helped lead the security crackdown on these protestors. They spray-fired into the crowd, killing several people. They rounded up most others and tortured them for going against Hamas.

No one cared about them then. And no one cares about them now. You didn’t care when Palestinians were fighting for their lives against Hamas in 2019. And now, you celebrate a man as a war hero who was known to torture and slaughter Palestinians.

This fake activist shit in the west is getting old.

[wanna start this by saying i am not indigenous, by heritage i am partially native. my mother who came from central america partially and my great grandmother who died before i could learn spainish left her tribe, and while i hold that ancestry with pride and i still consider it a part of my history that i hold close to my heart im not the most qualified to talk about this, im mostly echoing indigenous people who were raised with their culture and not disconnected and pointing out the similarities in zionist propaganda. if you have questions i recommend asking someone indigenous who grew up connected]

the fact that zionists (especially zionists in occupied Palestine) get jumpy when they hear “from the river to the sea” is so familiar to me as someone who’s partially native and lives in the US.

They think that living—not side by side with the Palestinian people caged in a concentration camp—but integrated with the same rights and privileges and it being Palestine and having a Palestinian government is somehow violent, and they think this because they weren’t peaceful themselves, they think that—even though hamas was created in defense and openly says they don’t have anything against jewish people, just the people occupying their land and oppressing them—that “isrealis” will be put in concentration camps and slaughtered and harvested the same way they did to Palestinians.

(im partially southern native, my ancestors were colonized by Spain while northern native americans were colonized by Britain but for the sake of this im mentioning both)

This is so familiar because euro-americans will say that native people are “savages” and “primitive” and bring up the mayan rituals and make stories about us being cannibals and inhumane when in fact they slaughtered and starved northern native americans, they fed our children to dogs, they ruined the land and brought over sicknesses that killed so many, and then tried to “kill the native and save the man” and assimilate us into a culture that wasn’t native to that place, and on and on and on. then when they traveled west and native americans fought to protect their lands they called us savages and today treat us as foreigners and poison the water in many reservations, they want us dead.

It’s mirrored, it’s so so similar.

another mirror is when you bring this up they mention human sacrifices—usually referring to mayans—and portray them as an irredeemable evil, they say this as if their ancestors didn’t kill ‘in the name of the lord’. “isreal” pink washes and tells queer people that they would ‘get killed’ if they ever went over and that they’re ‘so much better’. saying this when queer people can’t even get married. and both say this as if that generalization means they should be put to death. because they do not care, not even a little, they don’t wish they could go back in time and save the people who were sacrificed and they don’t want to save the queer people in Palestine (which i think is obvious by the fact they’re using that to indiscriminately slaughter an entire population of people, queer people included.)

I honestly think this is why you see so much solidarity between Palestinians and Native Americans.

just a thought.

[us-the-voices-and-more-voices-2]

Hi, genuine question, are you anti-Palestine? Or to be more clear, are you pro-Palestine getting its land back from Israel?

oh, personally I do believe people should be given back their homes and stuff that was taken.

but I also believe in a 2 state solution. both countries should have sovereignty, and also fuck both the Hamas and Bibi.

it's more on Israelis and Palestinians to sort out amongst themselves what is given back and to sort out these things.

I'm just a random Australian, I try my best to understand international politics but there's a lot of nuance that I still don't know and probably won't know.

again this ^ screenshot is unironically so real

I just hope the fighting stops soon, and both Israelis and Palestinians don't have to hide in fear and worry if they'll be alive tomorrow.

and the Hamas disbands, they suck so fucking much. (#theykillpeoplewhothinktheyareAbadgovermentandthinkjewishpeopleshouldalldie)

it's just a really awful time for everyone, and it's just shitty how things have played out.

the IDF's war crimes are innumerable and the Hamas warcrimes are too, the sad thing about war is there is no winner, there is no good, there is only death and destruction.

no person should be subjected to the torture of war, civilian nor soldier.

I don't think anyone deserves to die in the name of this war, for all deaths are in vane.

that's just how war is, nothing changes about war it stays the same. families will lose children and family and friends, and soldiers will cry themselves to sleep in pained agony, and POW's will have nightmares about the shit that's happened to them.

"war, war never changes"

it's a generational trauma, it never stops. it's there in the minds of all that live through it.

no one deserves war, Israeli or Palestinian.

I'm saying this as someone who's great grandfathers both fought in the fucking war, who were fucking POW's, who lost their families, the scars run fucking deep man.

like my great uncles, and my bisnonni, my family. like this shit doesn't go away.

this shit was not long ago, war never fucking changes.

there's only pain, pain that doesn't go away.

so yeah, sorry if I seem a bit one-sided to some people.

I care for everyone, no one deserves this shit.

how is it bad that I want for both to be able to live safely again?

life is filled with way too much trauma and pain for us to paint an entire type of people evil.

it's happened time and time and time again, I just can't anymore.

no one deserves death threats, no one deserves hell, I hope the fighting stops and I hope it stops swiftly.

there is no good side in war, there never has been its impossible.

both will kill and maim, and murder and slaughter.

in the eyes of history it's written by the winners, are these winners just and fair? who knows.

I know alot of people don't know family or have family who fought in ww2 or in any war, so it's kinda hard to understand how brutal and horrifying war actually fucking is.

but war is war, I don't think people get just how horrible it actually just is. it takes good people and turns them into hollow husks, it takes good people and turn them into war criminals.

it's not a good thing, death in war is a tragedy and I'm tired of everyone saying it's good.

call me whatever, I just hope the fighting stops soon.

America as the Last Man Standing

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entireMuslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, streetby street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear, 'whore, whore.' Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during theRamadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages -at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to theQuran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the frontlines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, SouthernThailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem.

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

TRIUMPHAL TRUMP: HE CAME, HE SAW, HE CONQUERED

US President Donald Tramp visits the Western Wall in Jerusalem - May 22, 2017

A few history buffs will know that part of the above title is a take-off on the words of Julius Caesar after he had conquered the king of Pontus in 47 BC.

Prime Minister Netanyahu greeted President Trump with these words: “Your visit here, Mr. President, is truly historic. Never before has the first foreign trip of a president of the United States included a visit to Israel. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for this powerful expression of your friendship to Israel.”

In a recent speech to the Knesset, Prime Minister Netanyahu said U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to the Western Wall proves the Jewish people’s connection to the city and holy site. If he inspired that kind of confidence in the Jewish people, then he was certainly a conqueror – in the sense of instilling confidence in the people of Israel that the United States was truly once again “with” them.

“I told Trump that his visit to the Western Wall dispels all of the UNESCO lies,” Netanyahu continued, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump addressed Israel, referring to motions by the UN agency that sought to disregard Jewish ties to the Temple Mount.

“The Temple Mount and the Western Wall will remain forever under Israeli sovereignty,” Netanyahu said, “the historical achievement will stand forever.”

Addressing the issue of the potential relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, Netanyahu said, “Jerusalem should be home to all the embassies, including the American embassy.”

“We liberated Jerusalem and turned it into a city that is not perfect but it is united. It respects the different faiths,” Netanyahu said.

“We are the ones who redeemed Jerusalem from neglect and distress. We are the ones who brought it to a peak in its development. What was here in Jerusalem? Almost nothing. In the 19th century was there an advanced kingdom or a vibrant Palestinian capital? It is necessary to tell the truth that Jerusalem, like the entire Land of Israel, was a marginal and desolate province in the Ottoman Empire.”

Answering comments made by the head of Israel’s opposition, Netanyahu said “Why isn’t there peace? Why [you ask]? Yesterday I said something after the horrible incident in Manchester, and I was criticized: ‘How dare you talk [about incitement]? On this day too you are speaking about the Palestinian Authority?’

“I want peace. I want to speak the truth – you cannot talk about those nurturing terror in Manchester and not say anything about those who are nurturing terrorists in the West Bank.”

In the West Bank, Netanyahu claimed, the family of the suicide bomber would have received a pay check from the Palestinian Authority. “The issue is their unwillingness to accept the Jewish people and their presence in Jerusalem. We will continue to develop and build in Jerusalem.”

Opposition leader Isaac Herzog responded saying that even though 70 years had passed since the establishment of the State of Israel, Israeli prime ministers had still failed to move any embassies to Jerusalem.

This writer would say that is not the fault of the Israeli prime ministers. It is the fault of the US leaders who got cold feet after the Arab world threatened to bring on the Apocalypse should they move the US embassy to Jerusalem.

When President and Mrs. Trump visited the Israel Museum, PM Netanyahu said, “This museum tells the story of Israel. Mr. President, you’ve just gone through a fast-paced visit through our past, our present and we work together to fashion the future. Here you can see Hebrew texts of the Bible that are 2,000 years old. You can see the seals and coins that bear witness to nearly 4,000 years of our presence in this land. You can see the menorahs we lit, the synagogues we prayed in during our long exile.

“But the story of Israel is not simply the story of the past. It’s the story of a nation reborn, of a barren land brought back to life, of an ancient language revived, of an exiled people who returned, of Jewish sovereignty restored. We have a saying, Mr. President, “The Jewish people lives.” The State of Israel lives on, alive as ever: a thriving democracy; a powerful army; an innovative, free economy; and a proud, resilient people.

“Mr. President, over the years Israel has had many friends, but Israel has never had and will never have a better friend than the United States of America. That friendship is reflected in the overwhelming support of the American people, strong bipartisan support of the American Congress and the support of American presidents from Harry Truman to Donald Trump. Thank you, President Trump, for your steadfast friendship to the Jewish people and the Jewish state. It is deeply, deeply appreciated.

“Mr. President, I believe that the alliance between America and Israel is more important than ever. Together we must defeat those who glorify death and protect those who celebrate life.

Together we can defeat the forces of militant Islam who seek to destroy the civilized world. And together we can and we must defeat the forces of terror. Terrorism, the deliberate slaughter of innocents, must be equally condemned and equally fought, whether it strikes in Europe, in America or in Israel – or for that matter, anywhere else. And as you said this morning, Mr. President, funding and rewarding terrorism must end.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKS IN JERUSALEM

At the Israel Museum, Trump spoke before about 200 people including Netanyahu, government ministers and Knesset members from both the governing coalition and opposition. Also invited were several of Trump’s friends, associates and contributors headed by Netanyahu patron Sheldon Adelson, the U.S. [business] magnate and owner of the Israel Hayom daily.

“As I have repeatedly said,” Trump continued, “I am personally committed to helping Israelis and Palestinians achieve a peace agreement, and I had a meeting this morning with President Abbas and can tell you that the Palestinians are ready to reach for peace. I know you’ve heard it before. I am telling you − that’s what I do. They are ready to reach for peace.”

He also discussed the connection between the Jews and Israel, saying that “the ties of the Jewish people to this Holy Land are ancient and eternal. They date back thousands of years, including the reign of King David. “I call upon all people – Jews, Christians, Muslims,– to draw inspiration from this ancient city, and to give all children the freedom and hope and dignity.”

Trump spoke about his visit to the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Yad Vashem. “It is a privilege to stand here in this national museum, in the ancient city of Jerusalem, to address the Israeli people—and all people in the Middle East who yearn for security, prosperity, and peace.

“Jerusalem is a sacred city. Its beauty, splendor, and heritage are like no other place on earth. The ties of the Jewish people to this Holy Land are ancient and eternal. They date back thousands of years, including the reign of King David whose star now flies proudly on Israel’s white and blue flag.

President Donald Trump speech at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem - May 23, 2017

“Yesterday, I visited the Western Wall, and marveled at the monument to God’s presence and man’s perseverance – I was humbled to place my hand upon the wall and to pray in that holy space for wisdom from God.

“I also visited and prayed at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, a site revered by Christians throughout the world. I laid a wreath at Yad Vashem, honoring, remembering, and mourning the 6 million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. I pledged there what I pledge again to those here today: NEVER AGAIN.

“Israel is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people. From all parts of this great country, one message resounds: and that is the message of hope.

“Down through the ages, the Jewish people have suffered persecution, oppression and even those who have sought their destruction. But, through it all, they have endured – and they have thrived. I stand in awe of the accomplishments of the Jewish People, and I make this promise to you: My Administration will always stand with Israel.

He said the conflict would not last forever. “I am personally committed to helping Israelis and Palestinians reach that mutual commitment to a comprehensive peace agreement,” he said, noting that both the Palestinians and Netanyahu want peace.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).
