#and with all the islamophobia

[cavalierzee]

THIS DIDN’T START OCTOBER 7th!!!

[kvtnisseverdeen]

after 9/11, my mom had her hijab ripped off her head. muslim-american communities were shattered due to the american government suspecting every muslim in america of terrorism and subjecting them to interviews and even deportation. i was in school afraid to embrace my religion because islam was being equated to terrorism. i was bullied for being a muslim and constantly called a terrorist. and let's not forget the millions of muslims that were killed and displaced because of the war on terror. MILLIONS.

it took years for muslims to feel "normal" again. of course, we still felt the uncomfortable stares and the subtle islamophobia. but it was so subtle. we almost forgot it was there.

and now, we're back to straight-forward, blatant islamophobia:

a 6-year-old muslim palestinian boy was stabbed 26 times

rashida tlaib is being censured and her colleague openly said 'all of them’ when a democrat asked how many dead palestinians will be enough?

van jones said to take a stand against muslims at a pro-israel rally

there were 1,283 reports of anti-arab and anti-muslim bias since oct 7 which is a 216% percent increase from last year

pro palestinian protestors are being called terrorists and terrorist-supporters

celebrities like amy schumer, brett gelman, karlie kloss, noah schnapp + more are spreading lies and propoganda against muslims

this is why its so frustrating to me when celebs like noah schnapp and amy schumer are sitting in there million dollar penthouses saying they're "scared." no, you have nothing to be afraid of. the world governments are clearly standing with YOU and protecting YOU. muslim women wearing a hijab are scared. muslim mothers and fathers are scared. muslims that can't openly practice their faith are scared.

muslims have been suffering in their own countries AND in america. we've always been afraid. how can we not when a muslim child was stabbed 26 times, simply because he was muslim? how can we not when people are asking to take a stand against muslims? how can we not when a genocide is happening and no one is doing anything to stop it?

Where can I find Free Palestine protests and Ceasefire protests?

A super international and continually updated list of actions can be found at Samidoun: Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network's:

Calendar of Resistance for Palestine 2024

They list events by date, then alphabetically by country, then by city - and it's common for them to have dozens of actions listed for a single date, especially on the weekends.

The United States especially often has 40+ events on a single day, especially on the weekends.

Events are posted with links to the event info posted by whoever's hosting the vast majority of the time.

Look blow the read-more for a list of many of the countries that have been on this protest calendar, in alphabetical order, since I know so many websites/lists of actions are country-specific

*Obviously this isn't the only good source of listings for protest events - there are many others. This is by far the biggest/most international roundup I've found, though, so I started with this. If you know another good place for finding ceasefire protests/events, please feel free to add it in the notes, bc I'm planning to put a bigger roundup together once I find enough other sites

Countries that Samidoun has listed/does list protests for include (in alphabetical order):

North America:

pro palestine protest today in London and suddenly nobody is allowed to wear anything that "conceals their identity" in certain parts of central London and the excuse of "based on evidence" it's so clear this is just racial profiling and islamophobia and a gateway for police harassment and even when asked about masks the pigs are still trying to cover their trail. ok fascist police state

[hilacopter]

leftists' all lives matter approach whenever antisemitism is brought up is extremely hypocritical and straight up disgusting. it's always "antisemitism is bad BUT ALSO-" no. no "but also". that's the end of the sentence. imagine saying that shit about any other form of bigotry.

[ebenelephant]

a reminder:

- not all israelis support the IDF's violence

- not all jews support the IDF's violence

- when we criticise israel, we are supposed to be criticising the government and those who individually support the ongoing genocide in gaza

- if you are condemning every single individual in israel, you are an antisemite

- equally, if you are condemning every single individual in gaza for the october attacks, you are an islamophobe

- there is no moral justification for the deaths of 13,000 palestinian children

- there is no moral justification for the 1100+ civilians killed in the october 7th attacks

- if you assume that every jew you come across supports the ongoing actions of the israeli government, you are an antisemite

- you can support palestinian resistance without asserting that hamas are good and blameless

- if you assert that the reason for broadly pro-israel media coverage worldwide is that jews control the media, you are an antisemite

- attacking random jews online with no affiliation to the israeli government will not, shockingly, aid those in gaza

- if you wish to support gaza, there are many resources available to help you donate/protest/petition etc

Edit: some people in the tags and replies have pointed out my misuse of the term 'zionism' as well as parts of this post which implied things that I didn't intend them to. I have edited those bits so that they better reflect what I am trying (but clearly poorly wording) to say.

I am so fucking disgusted with/tried of people who are continuing to demonize Gazans and Palestinians and even going so far as to say the recent protests they are doing against Hamas are somehow "fake" or "too late."

Nothing Gazans/Palestinians/Arabs/Muslims do will ever be enough for some of you. You have fallen down the rabbit hole and succumbed to hatred and fear.

For all the extremist right-wing Jewish accounts continuing to demonize Gazans, you're not gonna want to hear this, but you could have been born in Gaza. You are not that different from a Palestinian

And to all the extremists who have othered Gazans so much they see them all as being just like Hamas- guess what your blanket judgements would make you if you had been born a non-Jew and read news about bad people who happen to be Jewish? 🤔🤔🤔

🚨Spoiler alert 🚨: You'd be a fucking antisemite the second you read about Harvey Weinstein, Netanyahu, and anyone else

"Noooo I'm different!!! I would NEVER hate Jews- "

Yeah, you would. Any thought process which leads to "nO OnE oF tHiS iDenTiTy iS InnOcEnT hurr durr" is a thought process which, when you're born without your own marginalized identity, would lead you to in another world make sweeping generalizations about the identity you were born with in this life

Honestly, with the complete lack of empathy you exhibit, if you weren't born Jewish, you would probably looooove the October 7th massacre. That's EXACTLY what "no one of _____ is innocent!!" leads to.

An Illinois jury has found 73-year-old landlord Joseph Czuba guilty of murder and hate crime charges for the brutal killing of six-year-old Palestinian American Wadee Alfayoumi and the attempted murder of his mother, Hanan Shaheen.

The attack, which took place in October 2023, was fuelled by anti-Muslim hatred amid Israel's assault on Gaza.

Jurors took less than 90 minutes to convict Czuba, whose actions sparked fear and outrage among Palestinian and Muslim communities in the U.S. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump welcomed the verdict as a step toward justice but emphasised the need to continue combating the rising tide of hate crimes.

Shaheen, who was stabbed more than a dozen times, testified that Czuba had never expressed hostility toward her family during the two years they rented rooms in his home. However, following Israel's bombardment of Gaza, he told her that "Muslims were not welcome" before attacking her and her son, stabbing Wadee 26 times and leaving a knife lodged in his body.

Prosecutors presented harrowing evidence, including graphic images and video footage, while police testified that they found Czuba sitting outside, covered in blood. His defence lawyers attempted to cast doubt on the evidence, but the jury rejected their arguments and found him guilty on all counts.

The murder, which occurred just days after Israel's genocidal war began, underscored growing fears of anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim violence in the U.S. The case resonated deeply with Chicago's large Palestinian community, many of whom have faced increased discrimination amid the conflict.

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a federal hate crimes investigation, while Wadee's father has filed a civil lawsuit. Czuba is set to be sentenced on 2 May.

It will be so fun to watch all these American muslims who voted for trump deported back to their countries and once again spreading hands in front of the entire world to speak up for them when trump will turn every country in middle east into rubbles. Enjoy your victory for now. Soon you clowns are gonna cry about islamophobia and the whole Palestine being removed from the map. I will happily sit back then in my privileged life with a glass of wine, enjoying the whole circus!

[doberbutts]

This is the superbowl commercial everyone's saying is Zionist and pro-Israel BTW. Anyway antiblackness 🤝 antisemitism as usual, at some point y'all are gunna listen to me but not today I guess.
