Call out anti-palestinianism every single chance you get. Do not tolerate racism. Do not tolerate Islamophobia. Do not tolerate bigotry.

Deranged idiots: "Israelis should go back to where they came from!"

Newsflash asshole

Almost 80% of the israeli jewish population is born on the land whether you refer to it as israel or palestine- that's where they came from.

And that doesn't even include the palestinian arabs muslim and christians

"go back where you came from" i don't wanna live in tel aviv there's no parking places

Zionists truly have no self-awareness. They compare those who stand in solidarity with Palestine and refute their ahistorical, revisionism takes to "neo-nazis" yet it is they who are the violently bigoted reactionaries and far closer to fascist, neo nazis and altrighters.

They are the ones who believe that oppressing an entire population-through bombings, occupation, starvation, denying them sovereignty and treating them as an inherent threat to their own security is "justified", yet claim the moral high ground of restraint. "I believe that bombing, starving and occupying palestinians is necessary to make me safe, but I dont support it and condemn the worst extremists on my side".

Is America lost?

Is civilisation over?

Has Islamic jihad won?

These are the questions many of us ask as we stand in mute horror watching the destruction of civilisation and the infection of hatred spread by pro-Palestinian terror apologists.

If you were honestly more concerned with advocating for Palestinians than you are hating a specific group of people, you would be disavowing these actions the loudest. But instead all we hear is a deafening silence, and worse… When a minority group tells you there’s a problem with your movement, listen to us, don’t “but” and “if” our concerns. Don’t bring up one Jewish person or 12 who agree with you or are too afraid to tell you what they really feel. Because tokenism is racism.

•Be me, in the middle of the night(or morning technically atleast), posting and scrolling through her alternative/side blog to use as an internet diary.

•I am also looking more into nonhuman/alterhuamnity due to my own experiences that have been making my brain itch recently more than ever C:

•After I finish posting something random, I go back to the front page of the Tumblr app which would be my Dashboard(I don't know how to exactly put it sorry).

•Find a random account that seems to be in the alterhuman community from being reblogged by one of my mutuals or followers, something about neopronouns/xenogenders(I support xenos and neos btw^^).

•Go onto the account's front page because they seem cool to me at first and find their pinned info/introduction textpost atleast so that I can get to know them better before following just incase.

•I scroll down and find stuff that says that implies that being antizionists is inherently antisemetic, that supporting Hamas is bad and that they're "isreali but don't support Isreal"??

•Sadness...

(Just for clarification, being Jewish does not mean you are a zionist obviously, but supporting the lie that "Isreal" is a state and not a colonizer project does though. Don't be antisemetic and don't be a zionist! From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free♡).

I never imagined I would one day live in such conditions😔. I hope to emerge from this nightmare soon... Thankful for your solidarity with us, and I hope you'll always remain a constant support and remember us in your supportive stands for the cause💖🇵🇸🙏🏻🇵🇸❤️

I see a manipulative bs.

Are you a student who is unable to donate to Palestine, but still want ways to show your support?

Me too! Unfortunately, searching up ways for students who can't drive, spend money, or drop school for a week to show solidarity for Palestine just comes up with "centrist" (if not blatantly pro-israel) articles for teachers telling them how to stay neutral during discussions with students. So! Here are some ways that I've thought of to bring pro palestine sentiment into your school and community! You are more than encouraged to add on any ideas of your own!

Wear shirts, pins, or anything outwardly pro palestine. If you can't find something, make it.

Email your representatives. Email Congress. Email the White House, or whatever your country's equivalent would be. Let the people in charge know you want a ceasefire

Talk to your local library about holding an educational night about the genocide, and/or about Palestinian culture.

Talk to your peers. Find people who share your views. Create a fuss together.

Talk to your teachers about it. Having an authority figure on your side could make things so much easier for you.

Make stickers, posters, pamphlets, etc to put up around your school, town/city, anywhere you can.

Educate yourself on anti-palestine talking points and how to refute them in a calm and logical manner. (Palestinian Toolkit is a great website for that)

Speak up! It's fucking scary, but if you can, don't let people's bigotry go unchecked. (You can use knowledge from the last point to make it easier to talk)

But also, know when to give up. It sucks, but not everyone is worth wasting your time debating. Some people won't change their mind no matter what.

“... The event aimed to promote cultural understanding and diversity among students at the school.

However, the event took an unfortunate turn when the principal singled out six Palestinian students and told them to take off their kuffiya.

A kuffiya is a traditional Palestinian garment representing the Palestinian culture and identity. ...”

Lies fuel hate—and everyone loses.

It’s time to cut through the distortions and fight for truth.

Hate and bigotry only deepen the divide between Israelis and Palestinians. We must reject these toxic tactics and start working toward real peace.

This post was created with @telavivinstitute President Dr. Ron Katz, an expert on rhetoric and propaganda from UC Berkeley. Together we looked at anti-Israel rhetoric online and these logical fallacies, and created an easy way to understand and debunk them.

If you’ve seen any of these before and you are done with the hate, share this—because only truth can break the cycle.

I read this and I was like, Yeah!, but something feels. Very slightly off.

And then I went to the replies. And

... This person has never read a word of Middle East history prior to the founding of Israel. This person either does not know or does not care that for decades Hamas explicitly dedicated itself to the destruction of the Jewish people. Not the Israeli government, the Jewish people.

This person knows nothing of the escalating cycle of violence in the region over the hundred years prior to the Nakba. The massacres of Arab civilians. The massacres of Jews. The hate and pain and rage spiraling and spiraling while Britain made it constantly worse.

This person either does not know or does not care about the expulsion of Jews from nearly every surrounding nation in the region, swelling the population of Palestine and making the tension and anger there worse and worse.

This person wants history to be simple, and it isn't.

We need to stop Netanyahu's murderous war, but if we ignore the past, then we will NEVER find peace.

i believe palestine will be free with my whole heart. the dutch colonized indonesia for 300 years, indonesians, even those who practice indigenous religion, are still here. west papuans are fighting for their independence from indonesia and american settlers, and they are still here. the invasion and bombings of vietnam, laos, and cambodia lasted for 20 years, and i have met some of the most brilliant asian people descended from there. and that was the first televised war! palestine will be free! from the river to the sea. the indigenous/global south world has always survived, and i believe it will live and flourish in the future (in my lifetime) no matter what.

Christopher Mathias at HuffPost:

A coalition of 185 social justice and religious groups published an open letter Monday expressing support for the campus protest encampments sweeping the country in opposition to Israel’s siege of Gaza, and calling on university administrators to end the brutal crackdowns of the student-led demonstrations. “We commend the students who are exercising their right to protest peacefully despite an overwhelming atmosphere of pressure, intimidation and retaliation, to raise awareness about Israel’s assault on Gaza — with U.S. weapons and funding,” the letter states. “These students have come forth with clear demands that their universities divest from corporations profiting from Israeli occupation, and demanding safe environments for Palestinians across their campuses. ” Groups that signed the letter include Gen-Z for Change, Working Families Party, IfNotNow Movement, Young Democrats of America Black Caucus, Movement for Black Lives, Sunrise Movement, MPower Change, Jewish Voice for Peace, Palestine Legal, and the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Some 900 students have been arrested during anti-war encampments and demonstrations at American universities in the last 10 days, per a tally from Al Jazeera — a tumultuous period that mirrors volatile demonstrations against the Vietnam War in 1968, when police arrested at least 700 students. The open letter Monday represents one of the largest shows of support among progressive groups for the burgeoning student protests, and makes clear the divide between establishment Democratic figures and social justice groups when it comes to U.S. support for Israel. President Joe Biden has refused so far to condition the sale of weapons to Israel. “Our communities have been horrified to see the militarized and violent response to students protesting an ongoing genocide funded and supported by our government, and our coalition of organizations join millions of our members across the country in standing in solidarity with the students’ efforts in support of the people of Gaza,” Yasmine Taeb, one of the main organizers of the letter, told HuffPost. Taeb is a human rights lawyer and political director at MPower Change, a Muslim social justice group.

“Instead of attacking young people mobilizing for Palestinian human rights, President Biden needs to listen to the majority of Americans who have been calling on him to stop funding and supporting the atrocities committed against the people of Gaza,” Taeb said.

[...] Israel has killed over 33,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7, when the Gaza-based militant group Hamas launched an attack in which nearly 1,200 Israelis were killed. In January, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel’s siege of Gaza — which has displaced 85% of the population and put the occupied territory on the cusp of famine — left Palestinians at risk of experiencing a genocide. Last week, health officials in Gaza said medics had discovered mass graves at hospitals raided by Israeli troops. “We join [the students] in calling for an immediate and lasting ceasefire and an end to the U.S. government’s and institutions’ role in the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza,” Monday’s letter states. “As we stand in solidarity with the students protesting in encampments across the country, we reaffirm our commitment to amplifying their voices, condemn the university administration officials’ violent response to their activism, and demand that universities remove the presence of police and other militarized forces from their campuses,” it continues.

[...] Meanwhile, Republican Party officials and right-wing media figures have accused the demonstrations of antisemitism, falsely equating criticism of Israel with bigotry towards Jews. Although there have been scattered reports of actual antisemitic incidents at or near the encampments, many were not perpetrated by students but by interlopers. Many of the student protesters across the country are Jewish. Far-right agitators, including Christian nationalist activists, have also targeted the encampments, with MAGA pastor Sean Feucht leading hundreds of Christian and Jewish Zionists on a march around the Columbia campus on Thursday. The rally ended with pro-Israel demonstrators yelling through the gate at pro-Palestinian Columbia students. “Go back to Gaza!” they screamed.

More than 185 groups, including IfNotNow, Jewish Voice For Peace, MPower Change, and Working Families Party, signed a letter in support of the campus protests against Israel Apartheid State's genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

I have a post that I'm not sure how to write (but am going to try anyway) about how the valid fight for the equal rights of Palestinians is directly tied to the fight against antisemitism; they are, in fact, the same fight.

Because the truth is that many of the worst Israeli policies and certainly Jewish support for them, comes directly from Jewish fear. And unless and until that fear stops being valid, those ideas will continue to have power and support for them within the community will continue. It's not paranoia or bigotry wearing the skin of fear if people the world over have, in fact, carried out numerous genocides and ethnic cleansings against your people. The Holocaust was just one of the worst in recent memory, but it is far from the only extreme mass violence against Jews. It is simply the culmination of 2000 years of anti-Jewish hatred and institutional oppression.

There MUST be a real, concrete answer to Jewish safety.

Anything less is sanctioning the violence already done to us and passively accepting more in the future, if not actively calling for it or starting those wheels turning yourself.

There are no ifs, ands, or buts about this.

Palestinians deserve an answer and justice. You will not get any argument from me about that. (Quite the opposite, in fact.) However, any answer to their safety that callously ignores the need for Jewish safety and self-determination is doomed to end in either another genocide against Jews or failure. It is as wrong as any form of Zionism-as-an-answer to Jewish safety that callously ignores Palestinian safety and self-determination.

Any answer that treats either people as lesser, as unimportant, that values their lives less, and does not flow from a place of truth, reconciliation, peace, and mutual respect is doomed to fail and likely to devolve into more bloodshed.

If you want to fight for Palestinian safety, freedom, dignity and self-determination, you must also fight antisemitism. If you want to fight for the safety, freedom, dignity, and self-determination of our brothers in Israel, we must also care about our Palestinian cousins. There is no other way. You cannot care about only one side and expect peace.

That's why I'm really drawn to organizations that have both Israeli Jewish and Palestinian leadership and fight for a shared vision of the future. They see that the only way forward is together, and those of us outside the land would do well to listen and adjust our advocacy and message accordingly.
