I'm told you've lived a fascinating life.

[whokenobi]

Wanna talk about corrupted countries treating people like shit. Let's talk about Palestine and how Israeli people treat Palestinians, killing them, torturing them and doesn't matter if it's kids or adults. Everyone supports Israel, you all are a bunch of hypocrites and I'm unfollowing your shitty blog. You don't care about people and rights, you never said a thing about Israel yet open your filthy mouth about Qatar. You're just islamophobic and no better than Alejandra.

That is quite literally untrue. I am so sorry that I don’t immediately cover every single geopolitical topic in a tumblr ask. Get a grip dude.

Shall I also cover Iran supplying weapons to Russia for their war against Ukraine while also murdering and torturing their citizens for protesting against the morality police/Mahsa Amini’s murder/etc? What about Afghanistan and the Taliban preventing women from holding jobs and returning to school? The Saudi Arabian crown Prince and the state ordered assassination and dismemberment of Jamal Khasoggi? Don’t ever try to act like I am Islamophobic or I don’t have a proficient understanding of geopolitical issues outside of the borders of my country. And that includes the conflict between Palestine and Israel and how the US government categorically refuses to acknowledge what Israel is doing because we fund their shit year after year. (And the ones who do, Ilhan Omar, damn near have their reputations shredded). Oh and yes I know Netanyahu won yet another reelection. Fuck you for your assumptions.

Another one I forgot to add for good measure. Syria and its civil war against Al-Assad’s government and how so many people fled so they would not be murdered. And how so many Syrian cities have been reduced to rubble. And the refugee crisis that followed. One of my good friends was one of those refugees and now when they try to return to visit family who remained in Syria, they have to fly to Lebanon and drive hours across the border. Oh let’s not forget how the US has gotten away with drone strikes in multiple Middle Eastern countries. And how everyone is (rightfully so) horrified for Ukraine but didn’t blink a fucking eye when Russia and Syria leveled Aleppo because the people who were killed weren’t white or Christian enough for them to relate to.
