#calling children terrorists who deserved to die

[worstloki]

zionists don't realise it but saying 'this is the most jewish thing ever!' and 'people hate when jews do something clever' and and reporting it as 'innovative methods which carried out a precise military operation' and joking about ongoing attacks using everyday technology to injure thousands of civilians is not. good

[yeonslayjun]

Let's talk about the Genocide happening in Palastine

Honestly I can see how Hitler got away with the Mass Genocide of the Jews like LOOK AT THIS?!??!

History calls Hitler a dictator and the one who killed off Jews for existing and the world was not okay with it and it IS STILL not okay ( and be no means are jews responsible )

But now that we see History replay itself in the form of Israel against Palestinians what does the world say about The Palestinians? Violent, criminals, terrorists, they deserved to die.... HOW COULD THEY DO THAT??!?!

Kids are dying every single day, more and more footages are being released and STILL SO MANY CHOOSE to ignore them because well

"October 7 was devastating" and yes it was and by no means am I disregarding that but then, WELL WHAT ABOUT THE YEARS OF ATTACKING THEM?!?!? Oh my it seems they have selective blindness *surprised Pikachu face*

Look Hamas killed that's not okay and those are the only people they've killed. Hamas is NOT A TERRORIST organization they are the ONLY force the Palestinians has to fight against the Israel soldiers

If Hamas stop, Palestine will be no more. and that is EXACTLY why Israel wants to get rid of them, the only hope for the Palestinians

It is beyond my comprehension how even after seeing INNUMERABLE Children dying, Families and Bloodlines ERASED from existence, attacking HOSPITALS, attacking FOOD SHELTERS some people can still support Israel....

[invisiblewoman1996]

I don’t usually talk politics but you guys are such assholes but here it is:

I live in Sderot in Israel, my town this morning was taken over by terrorists my friends and neighbors murdered. Hundreds of innocent lives taken. I’ve read their texts as they begged for help that didn’t come.

Terrorism is evil, killings of innocents is evil. The ends don’t justify the means.I don’t justify it when Israel, America or any country fucks up- so stop justifying a terrorist group that wants to kill every Jewish person in the world, all Israelis and kills people for being LGBTQ+. As a Jewish gay woman they make it clear I don’t deserve to live. And have tried to kill me many times with rocket fire, and yesterday with invasion.

To all those who say it’s justified- America has done fucked up things in Afghanistan do all Americans deserve to die? To all British people deserve to die? Iran kills people, so does China- do all their civilians deserve to die?

You all have a double standard for Israel, and I’m calling out your bullshit. If you support a terrorist group that has oppressed the women and children and all civilians in Gaza for years, anybody speaking out against them is murdered. Fellow queers are murdered by Hamas- if you think they represent Palestine then you are an idiot. Free Palestine from Hamas.

I’m not justifying this current right wing government, so stop justifying an actual terrorist origination that believes woman are inferior, Jews deserve to die and LGBTQ+ deserve to die.

*I don’t fucking deserve to die*

I’ll say it again: I don’t fucking deserve to die. My wife doesn’t deserve to die, my family and friends don’t fucking deserve to die.

My neighbors are being brutally murdered as we speak.

Get your fucking ethics in order. You’re talking about me.

current bat games au lore

ok so here is part of what we have so far:

jason is no longer from district 2, he was originally a scrappy orphan from 12; he changed his name to "RED" after lazrus therapy and becoming a gladiator

Nightwing has a notorious reputation in the capitol as vain and bitchy. he constantly gets procedures done to look as young and beautiful as possible and will actively sabotage the new tributes' relationships with the capitol citizens. in reality, he is trying to protect the younger victors from being sexually exploited by putting himself on the front lines as the sex symbol

tim is the newest victor of the games. his mentor was barbara and they are both secretly working for the anti-capitol resistence.

damian is the political baby of a strategic union between talia and bruce to unite their clans without drawing suspicion from the government on why they're working closely. his parents are both big players in the capitol.

the al ghuls are the tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists of the capitol who believe the revolution is nigh. but instead of underground bunkers they prepare for the apocalypse by training their children in several warrior arts

bruce's alter ego is batman, political terrorist who is working behind the scenes to take down capitol corruption (good luck buddy)

the capitol has a capped maximum on how much wealthy citizens can donate as sponsorship because otherwise bruce wayne would sponsor all the kids in an effort for them to live

when jason was thrown into the arena, he had no living mentor and had to fend for himself. batman secretly helped him with tips and advice on how to survive

Nightwing tried to talk bruce out of sponsoring jason in the arena. it wasn't out of cruelty; he just thought it would be a better investment to sponsor a child who is more likely to live instead of a starving little boy from the weakest district bound to die. bruce sponsored jason anyway

bruce's parents were assassinated for the treasonous act of believing district citizens deserved human rights

jason's abundance of sponsorships made him a target in the arena. he got really messed up and had to go through a brutal, traumatic, and experimental rehabilitation called the lazarus project. he came out of it brain damaged and now most of his body consists of lab-grown flesh or robotic parts. (notice his fake eyes and how most of his body is covered up)

the hunger games are like the annual SuperBowl. for the rest of the year the capitol citizens enjoy entertainment like celebrity escorts (Nightwing) or gladiator games, which is basically the WWE but more deadly and no predetermined winner (RED)

gladiators all have a number that is worn by players and fans alike. most gladiators wear theirs on their armour but RED wears his as a corpse identification tag on his ear

tim purposefully makes himself seem boring and unlikable so that the capitol will allow him to go home rather than stay at the capitol like nightwing and RED.

tim is probably on like 10 different government watchlists

damian keeps nightwing around as a friend/babysitter, since he gave every other one he had a mental breakdown

damian keeps jason around as a personal weaponsmith/arms instructor (hired by talia)

talia and bruce have split custody of damian

nightwing and RED are top-celebs in their fields

bruce's name is brucellosis I'm sorry that's just the way it is

bruce stopped sponsoring for a while after jason's injury cause he blamed himself

hunger games sponsors are like gambling or horse race betting. if your sponsored victor lives you get more money back. but it is so costly with such high stakes that most people don't do it

nightwing volunteered for some random kid who he had no connection with because he has no self-preservation and is kinda self sacrificing like that

nightwing's mentor was starfire. he had a massive crush on her and she'd pat his head

RED has a tense relationship with bruce and Nightwing but also trusts them more than anyone else

there are more but they require more context and characters so hang tight. suggestions welcome! just dm me in my inbox

I have just got to rant rn.

My entire friend group imploded because one of the girls (we’ll call her Kasey) decided that associating with “zionists” like me and my one other Jewish friend wasn’t sustainable (I assume).

The one “conversation” we had with her (that now has been framed as a “fight” somehow) was me and my friend so so gently and carefully and kindly pointing out via instagram that one of the dozens of propaganda things she was sharing in her stories was problematic, and explaining to her why. It’s actually pathetic how much we were trying not to hurt HER feelings and assure her we also don’t like bibi, etc (btw she is not Arab, Palestinian, Muslim, nada. She just decided to care deeply about this one thing post-10/7 and utilize her instagram to only share things about big bad Israel—she has never posted a single political thing before mind you).

She responded to our message in a wishy washy fashion and ofc didn’t offer to take down the offending post. Then WE thanked HER for listening to us and hearing us out. LMAO. My Jewish friend then messaged Kasey separately asking her in a heartbreaking way to please show some support for Jews—for her. Not Israel, not the war, just Jews. Kasey responded by saying “well a week ago i shared this post that mentioned Jews” and that her main priority was caring about the people in Gaza. Yeah.

From that point on my friend and I decided to be cordial with Kasey but not go out of our way to see her outside of when the larger group got together. Which I think is very forgiving of us. My Jewish friend even still extended Kasey the invite to come to her own home!! She ofc continued posting ridiculous shit to her instagram relentlessly, but at one point must have blocked us from her stories bc one of the other girls told us she had been posting things we weren’t seeing. Guess she couldn’t handle being challenged on her views.

Well anyway, soon enough Kasey decided to stop interacting in the group chat at all. I guess our presence in her life even digitally was too much for her! Despite the fact our only “conversation” was the single one on instagram that was extremely cordial and respectful on our end. So I can only guess why she didn’t want to associate with us Jews anymore…

A little while later I hung out with one of the other girls in the group—Cat. Cat is someone who has studied history in some ways and had been open about listening in the past. So I opened up to her about my frustration and anger about the rising antisemitism in the US, and the impossible situation I felt Israel was in with Hamas locating themselves in civilian areas, etc. I can’t tell you the amount of times I stressed how upsetting it was for me to see so many people dying and how heartbreaking it was. I theorized about day 2 and what it would take to de-radicalize Gaza, which would entail re-education, etc. (This is foreshadowing.)

And then one day I was doom scrolling as one does and saw a claim that some American professor was posting blatant terrorist support on his instagram page which I thought was outrageous as any sane person would. I went to his profile to see for myself, and sure enough it was true. Nothing that was iffy about it—this was straight praise for Hamas and the Houthis. And guess who was shown as a mutual follower of ours. Yep, Kasey.

So despite the fact that in hindsight Kasey stepped over the line way before that, this was truly the last straw for me. and I never understood what “seeing red” meant before then. But I blocked her that very moment without even thinking about it.

The group chat has continued to be completely dead and anyone close to Kasey have also made zero attempts to speak to me or my Jewish friend.

Fast forward to today…

and I learn that Cat has been telling at least one person that I told her that I think children in Gaza deserve to die.

Do I laugh or cry or scream??

I haven’t spoken to Cat in a hot minute, but considered her still a friend of sorts. Overall I of accepted I was no longer a part of the group (me and the other Jewish friend have been making a lovely Jewish girl gang for ourselves this past year so I don’t feel the loss), so tbh I’m not heartbroken about losing Cat as well since I’ve already divorced myself from that group as a whole—I’m more so flabbergasted.

Kasey was bad enough (I’m still very angry about it and will never forgive nor forget and will hold this grudge until the day I die btw), but this behavior from Cat is just something I cannot wrap my head around.

I never in a million years would have thought that an Israel Palestine issue would be what people used to demonize and character assassinate me, but here we are!!!!

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

since zionists are coming to whine in my dms that I’m so mean for supporting Palestinians who “had it coming for being terrorists” (yeah, zionists are definitely not racist, huh?), let me make this very simple.

Let’s say your great-great grandparents built a home on some land. They built it by hand, and your family has lived there for generations, fixing it up as old things needed renovations or just stopped working or they just wanted to make it compatible with new things like electricity when that came out. You grew up there, your parents grew up there, and your grandparents grew up there, and now you have children of your own starting to grow up there too.

You loved that house, it’s the only home you’ve ever known and years of loving care had made it beautiful, it even has a garden that your great grandparents planted olive trees in, and of course by now it’s a flourishing orchard. Your family are the only ones who had ever lived in that house, but your family had become quite diverse throughout the decades as children grew up and married, some new family members looked and lived quite like you, and some looked and lived differently, and you thought little of it because, why would you?

Then one day a stranger comes by with a feed to your family’s home, claiming the government had settled a deal that since this stranger’s great-great-great-great grandparents first owned that land and were forced off of it by people who looked a bit like you. The stranger gives you an ultimatum to leave the land immediately because they consider it to rightfully belong to them, or die. Some of your family flees, you don’t blame them, but you stand your ground as best as you can, but the stranger has guns, and strong friends to supply them. They kill your mother, blind your father, kidnap many of your siblings and cousins and so you take your children and anyone who’s left and flee to the far side of the property, on the half still allowed to them by the government’s ruling. For a time it’s fine, but the stranger wasn’t satisfied, and finds you again in the new home you were building. See, the way the stranger sees it, their ancestors had originally owned ALL of that property, so they figured that was what they were owed. You plead with them to let you stay, or even just to not hurt your family. Your pleas are denied.

This time they killed your children. They killed your cousins. They killed most of your siblings. Your family and your home, all gone in front of your eyes.

Do you think you would still care whether or not the stranger was right about who owned that plot of land first, or would you perhaps care more about what they just did to everything you held dear?

Zionists like to say “well hamas should have never ever taken hostages” and feign ignorance as to why hamas is gaining support at an exponential rate.

It’s not that complicated. If your options are stand there and get shot or get a gun and shoot back, are you really going to pretend to be confused by most people going with the second option?

No. You aren’t. You want to spin the narrative that people calling for a free Palestine are terrorists who want to see the death of all jews and some nebulous “scary muslim takeover”, but I know you’re not that dumb. I know you've seen videos posted by the IDF’s own beating, kidnapping, and killing civilians. I know you’re not stupid enough to honestly believe those are all terrorists, even the children. I know most of you aren’t even under the delusion hamas is just like ISIS.

This is deliberate. Genocide is easiest when the aggressor plays victim to try to say it’s self defense, but here’s the thing—

It doesn’t matter how many times you claim otherwise, hind did not deserve to die. If she was the ONLY child the IDF killed intentionally, that would be unforgivable, but given there are tens of thousands of children that have lost life or limb at the hands of the IDF, it’s indefensible. It’s murder. A child trapped in a car with her family’s bodies after the IDF attacked being used to lure out aid workers and kill them all at once is just evidence you have lost your humanity. I hate that I even have to only talk about the children because you think every adult in Palestine is secretly an evil terrorist, it’s a lot harder to say that about a child with an age in the single digits, but many of you still try to anyway.

Racism is a hell of a thing, and some of you are a little too drawn in by the idea of killing all the brown people in a region so you can build beach resorts and theme parks.

If Palestinian land is so sacred and divinely promised to the Israelis to the point the Israeli government considers all rain fall to be explicitly property of israel, why are you taunting it with the blood of the innocent and desperate?

I don’t know, I think if anyone but a Zionist tried to justify bombing hospitals and dressing as aid workers to kill as many of an ethnic group as possible, people may be a bit reasonably against that, but for some reason it’s fine as long as the group committing the genocide has enough oppression points stocked up from previous incidents.

[grenade-cephalopod]

"They [accompanying family members] are dead." "Are they in the car with you?" "Yes." "Where are you hiding?" "In the car." "Stay in the car sweetie. I'll stay here talking to you." "The tank is next to me. It is driving towards me. It is very very close. When someone comes to save me you can hang up, okay?" "I won't hang up until I know you are with a member of the Red Crescent and safe. Even if the soldiers, God forbid, come, don't hang up, okay?" "Come take me please. Please stay with me. It is almost night. I am scared. [Sobbing]" "Darling, I would come take you if I could. Say Ya Allah." "Ya Allah" "God protect us." "God protect us."

These are some of the last words, condensed and translated, of Hind Rajab. Hind was six years old. Her and everyone she was traveling with that day were martyred, along with two Red Crescent paramedics.

She was not a terrorist. There was no little Hamas operative in that car. There was a little girl who should have been home playing with her dolls, not hiding among the corpses of those she loved the most.

Hind stayed on the phone for three hours. Days after her call, she was found in what remained of the car, very dead.

Today Hind stands as a reminder of every single child lost. Palestinian children dream of seeing lost parents and siblings, of having enough to eat and a warm place to sleep.

Israel is not fighting Hamas. They are fighting Palestininans. They are conducting atrocities not seen since Hitler's Germany and people are saying that the victims deserved it.

Tell that to Hind, who begged to be saved. Who was not even old enough to walk to the store by herself. Tell her she deserved to die.

Then realize how absolutely pathetic you are for thinking that.

[thewinter22]

hi, since you asked genuine questions here's a few explanations:

on oct 7th, hamas broke into israel and murdered, tortured, raped, and kidnapped over a thousand people. it wasn't just a little event. it was the largest slaughter of jews since the holocaust. and it wasn't just jews that were killed, it was arab israelis and bedouins. if you want to learn more, I recommend watching "screams before silence" it's free on youtube BUT huge trigger warning for graphic descriptions of rape and torture. there aren't actual pictures/videos of the rapes in the documentary but there are many eyewitnesses and victims who share their stories.

https://www.screamsbeforesilence.com/

secondly, the term "zionism" doesn't mean what most non-jews think it means. it is a movement started by and for jews, and it is the belief that jews should have a nation in their ancestral homeland (israel). it doesn't mean that all palestinians should die, it doesn't mean that israel needs to solely be jewish (ethnostate). israel is extremely diverse with many different religions and ethnicities, it just has over 50% jews making it a jewish state in the same way that most countries are christian or muslim etc.

gaza, in contrast, has 0 jews since 2005 when israel left gaza.

hamas is a terrorist organization and has a very strict "education" system mostly consisting of teaching children how to become martyrs and shoot guns. palestinians learn from birth to hate jews and israel. hamas's entire ideology is built on jew hatred. for that reason, it is extremely hard to get a ceasefire because hamas keeps rejecting it. bibi netanyahu, who I don't personally like, has agreed to most ceasefire deals, but hamas hasn't. that's why the war is still going on. and let's not forget, hamas still holds many israeli hostages captive.

the reason jews don't feel safe in queer spaces is because currently leftist queers do not acknowledge these facts. they create "anti-zionist spaces" on campuses and in their own communities. 90% of jews are zionists, so when you're anti-zionist, you are inherently antisemitic. anti-zionists have vandalized synagogues, attacked synagogues, raped jews "for justice in palestine", stabbed random jews, and worse. people shout "globalize the intifada" which really just means "globalize genocide of jews".

the fact that so many queer people refuse to believe us when we say we are in danger, say we deserve it even, is why jews don't feel safe in queer spaces. most of us are fine with a state of palestine, but we don't want hamas as their leader because they are a terrorist organization with a goal of killing jews. jews have been a part of so many liberal movements (a black jew founded blm, many jews stood up for gays during the aids crisis, etc) and are still rejected because of backwards misinformation. our problem isn't with palestine or palestinians, our problem is with ignorance and hate that so many leftist spaces are now full of.

if you want to help jews feel safe in queer spaces, acknowledge their pain, acknowledge that hamas is bad, listen to jews when they talk about this conflict. so many queer and leftist ppl treat this conflict like a fandom, it's crazy and disgusting. most of them only learned about this conflict through social media a year ago. listen to jews and don't exclude us from your spaces just because you are too arrogant to look at the other side. that's literally all we're asking.

some instances of anti-zionism being violent and antisemitic:

thank you for asking, and thank you for reading.

Thank you for the answers. I was worried people were going to call me ignorant, which I admit I am up until now, and is exactly why I want to learn more about something I never really looked into more deeply because of the various opinions on all sides making it hard to decypher anything objective. It's hard to believe how terribly queer spaces are treating jewish people. Which is not to say I don't believe you. Quite the opposite. I am just shocked. Thank you again

CW/TW: brief and vague talk of physical disability and loss of pregnancy

I think queen Samara insisted for Sky to attend Red Fountain. Of course Sky begged to go, but although Erendor in his face acts like he did it as a favor to HIM, that he did as SKY asked so Sky should be grateful ("When I agreed to send you to military academy what was the one thing I told you?!") he actually did it because Samara talked some sense into him. There was not been a king in Eraklyon from their dynasty that did not attend Red Fountain. Generally, *all* the male children that come from the king receive their education there, unless they are sent away to study religious science, which is extremely rare and reserved for third or fourth spare, or those (not the oldest, though) who are suffering from a physical handicap so severe they would not be able to handle a battlefield in a traditional manner. In this case, it wouldn't matter if they are a tech wizz like Timmy that could prove invaluable to Eraklyoni military- it is all about appearances. Erendor was about to break this tradition because the sons of harpy that terrorist organization that was after Sky was, well, after Sky. Getting a clear hit at Erendor would be perfect, but they would happily settle at the second best (two of Sky's tasters have died in service before he turned 11) because the royal couple cannot have more children. It is unknown within whom of the two the "fault" lies, but the fact remains that Queen Samara never had another child after him- there are rumors that she was pregnant for a short while and suffered a loss after a bio terror attack, but as most of attacks on the royal family, the one around that time has also been kept closely under wraps. Anyways, when she heard the plan all hell broke loose and they fought for hours, during which she called him a coward among other things, and asked if he wanted his son to be mocked as the only military illiterate ruler in Eraklyoni history. Eventually, he caved in, and of course, Brandon going with him was not even discussed, it was just a given. In general, I imagine Sky's mom to be a very cold woman, but she always showed Brandon more respect and grace than the king did. Erendor doesn't have much appreciation for Brandon's service, honestly he's mostly annoyed that his position is necessary and gives the boy a cold shoulder because of it (yay bully the child Erendor there you go) but Samara feels that the boy is most likely to die young protecting her child and as such deserves some sort of due respect. Even as she's the one actively putting him in that situation, she's grateful. It's messed up. Samara, pushing tiny Brandon as a meat shield in front of her son: thank you so so much- stay put- yes there you go, thank youuuuuuuuuuu

[the-catboy-minyan]

So if all Hezbollah members, including civilians that never saw combat (and people who owned a pager but weren't members of Hezbollah), can be classified as terrorists and any innocent child that gets killed when you attack those members are at fault for being in "such close proximity to terrorists to get hurt" even though those bombs were activated when the members were just just doing normal daily task in public such as grocery shopping then can we apply this logic to the IOF?

Can we blame all non-combatant soldiers for the massacres done by other soldiers and can we target those soldiers when they're off-duty in shops, schools, hospitals and if an Israeli child got killed or injured then its their fault for being "in close proximity to terrorists" or does that logic not work because only Christians and Muslims can be terrorists?

Also calling people being disgusted by you for making jokes about this terrorist attack "hatemail" and a "Jews are baby killers" thing (when you're literally laughing and justifying killing children) is laughably pitiful, you get 1/10 for self-victimization.

Plz try harder to not shame your colony of self-victimizers, you can't let those dead children steal the attention from you.

bitch you know what Hezbollah is, right? you understand the concept of terrorist organisations, right? fym "civilian hezbollah members"??

also lmao IOF I see who I'm talking to here

the fact that you're literally projecting how the antizionist movement treats current and former IDF soldiers and using our own arguments against us, it's just hilarious to me. the IDF is an actual military force with branches and roles of people that will never have to hold a gun in their lives except for the mandatory first 5 week training period. my friend reached military age and she's literally about to go serve in a dog shelter, a regular fucking dog shelter, like a volunteer job but getting paid by the government for it.

again, I'm not talking to someone about "think of the innocent children who died from an attack that hit 99% terrorists" from a person who didn't confirm if they cared about civilian israeli lives. over 100k people displaced, >1400 people murdered and raped horrifically, or are we not human enough in your eyes to deserve compassion?

any civilian being harmed is horrible, but you literally can't make an attack on that scale while guaranteeing 0 collateral damage, I did not personally make jokes on that situation, only shared ones I found on reddit, and I would not cheer if the attack did significant collateral damage, and from reports it seems that other people got hurt only in extremely specific situations. you'd fucking cheer if it was done to the "IOF" even if it harmed more kids than soldiers, so don't give me a fucking lecture over my morals, there's a block button at the top right.

these type of jokes are so out of character for me anyways, this is not something I usually joke about, but I had a horrific day yesterday and yknow what I think it's funny to think about how terrorists lost their balls from pagers. the VAST MAJORITY of people sustained minor injuries from that attack, the vast majority of the terrorists who carried their pagers barely even got harmed, this is really the hill you wanna die on? that an attack that barely grazed people is evil because of circumstances outside the attackers' control?

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Imaging supporting isreal after FIVE GOOD MONTHS nearly HALF A FUCKING YEAR of seeing story upon story upon story of the 80th family being bombed horrifically, innocent children dying and people losing their love ones, and still turning a blind eye to all this to say that oh, tHEre aRe EqUal sIDes tO ThIs "cOnflIct", like bro WHERE THE FUCK IS PALESTINE'S MILITARY IN ALL THIS???? LIKE HELLO? AND DONT U DARE FUCKING MENTION HAMAS BECAUSE ISREAL BROUGHT THAT UPON THEMSELVES WHEN THEY THOUGHT TO OCCUPY PALESTINE FOR 75+ YEARS. Imagine watching the hell Palestinians have gone through for the past 100+ days and still choosing to support the genocidal monsters called isreal. You must be fucking brain dead because someone with even a semblance of empathy would support Palestines and call for a ceasefire. You stupid fucking bitch, I hope you experience all the suffering all Palestinians have faced over 75+ years a thousand times more and die a very slow, painful, and lonely death. You deserve nothing but hell and suffering. You will lose literally everything you've ever loved and ex lived for the worst life ever. Stupid fuck.

Anyway, you're falling for very tired and played out lies. Israel is the ancestral homeland of the Jews. The "Palestinians" (which never existed as a people until they all decided they'd rather kill all the Jews in Israel then go back to Jordan or Egypt) are the occupiers and colonizers. The civilian deaths in Gaza are 100% the fault of Hamas, who use them as human shields and use civilian buildings as staging areas for terrorism and war, which is a war crime and makes those buildings legitimate, legal war targets by international law.

The fact that you say "don't mention Hamas" shows that you know exactly why this war is going on. Hamas, with the backing and support of large parts of t he Arab Muslim world, raped and murdered 1,200 civilians, including children, kidnapped hundreds more, also including children, and has declared multiple times that their intention is to kill everyone in Israel, Jew and Muslim and Christian alike.

That's what you support when you support Hamas and Palestine. That's what you give cover to when you repeat lies from a terrorist organization. That's what you're justifying when you say "Israel brought it on itself."

You're a bad person, anon. You support evil. But unlike you, I'm not going to say I wish you experience everything the victims of the 10/7 massacre experienced. I hope you never experience it. I hope no one ever experiences it again.

And I support Israel in doing pretty much whatever it needs to to make sure nothing like that attack ever happens to them again.

Free Palestine!

I was six…six years old when I was taught about Quds, shown the beautiful golden dome of Qubbat al-Sakhra, when I was taught about the beautiful olive farms, the welcoming people,about the richest and deepest history a land could have, the prophets that had walked this land, the people who stood against crusades and kept alive religion and peace in Masjid-al-Aqsa, the deep love and courage that is carved into the souls of palestinians for their land, when I learned to love Palestine like it was where my heart always belonged. 

I was eight when we painted flags and watched our parents shed tears over the loss of lives of our palestinian brothers and sisters. When they marched in solidarity and gathered communities together to donate to help our brothers and sisters in Gaza, Ramallah, Jenin, the West Bank, Nablus, Haifa…I was eight when I saw the blood of martyred Palestinians on a bloodied hospital floor and the media calling their resistance terrorism. 

I was ten and I sang From the River to the Sea, for my brothers and sisters in palestine. 

I was twelve and I made bracelets with my friends to sell and raise money to send to our brothers and sisters in Gaza. and I was twelve when they called people who looked like me and my family, terrorists. 

I was fourteen, and then sixteen and eighteen and twenty, and I still said FREE PALESTINE! When I cried when I saw photos of the elderly being abused at Al-Aqsa when they just wanted to speak to their creator in the house his holy prophets constructed in his remembrance. 

I was twenty two when I witnessed Israeli brutality in Gaza, in Ramallah, in Jersusalem. Persecuting the people of Palestine for simply being. Walls constructed to keep them in, bombs dropped on homes, children orphaned and still I cried Free Palestine but Palestine had a smile on its face. It’s people loved and lived and said: 

“حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ”,

“Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs.”

Then I was twenty four, and twenty six and we still cried Free Gaza, help the children of Palestine, free Palestine. 

And now I am almost thirty, and I am watching and my heart is crying, broken, my eyes have not been able to look at the world the same, I feel as if I am watching my own brothers and sisters die again and again. We are watching Palestinians die by the thousands, every video brings me to tears and i feel as if I cannot breathe, the sadness that has taken over me is a shadow when I compare it to the horrors the Palestinians are living at this very moment. We beg the world to see us as more than human animals, we beg the world to help Gaza and the children of Palestine. We have to convince you all we are humans, who deserve a chance to live, that this is immoral, we have to justify WHY we want the right to live? We are watching a genocide, children dead by the thousands and hospitals unable to cope with the death tolls and no one who wants to stand up to this oppressor but the Palestinians … The Palestinians' bravery and courage and absolute devotion to their faith is simply stunning. They repeat again and again “God is sufficient for us” and I feel as if I am the loser…they have such a love and fervor for their land and their faith that even in the face of death it isn't something worth giving up. 

And their love of Palestine has brought such unity around the world, that we all feel as if Palestine has been in our very souls from the beginning of time.  We are in the streets by the hundreds of thousands now, screaming FREE PALESTINE, and I am so filled with pride for their resilience that has driven us all. And Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, they will rise up again and every Palestinian child who left their heart in the beautiful lands of Al-Quds will get the chance to return and walk the land the prophets walked and sing in the fields their ancestors were forced to give up and they will be free.

As I grew older I began to realize, the saying Palestinians shouted with such fervor “By soul, by blood, we'll defend you oh al-Aqsa!” is the embodiment of Palestinian resistance and love for their homeland. And now I know love, dignity and courage were born in Palestine, a land that was created for peace but never saw a peaceful day. 

Free Palestine…

I hope you know that you are practically the only person posting on the Anti Free Palestine tag. I hope you know that, while you have those who will listen to you, people in general are not on your side.

I hope you know that people will not listen to you, will not take you seriously, and, most importantly will not come to defend you; Everything to do with the situation should tell you that. Everything.

Every tweet. Every Instagram post. Every self-victimizing post from the inside of a mansion crying about the supposed danger posed by Palestinian mothers and children.

Every post celebrating the death of innocent civilians. Every comment underneath a photo of a child that made it out in time telling him that he will not be safe for long. Every laugh, every jeer. Everything.

I have never seen anything as vile as the way Palestinians are talked about by Israelis. Israelis call them sub-human, Arab rats. They celebrate when Palestinians die. They laugh at the misfortune of small children.

There is nothing as horrible as targeting civilians and then making them out to be the villains. The Israeli occupation of Palestine has been going on for *decades*, but you and yours simply sweep it away in favor of the front they want to present: That Palestinians are, somehow, the ones targeting Israelis. That Israel is the victim here. That they’ve done nothing wrong. That there is no blood on their hands.

Dismiss this all you want. Don’t read it. Delete it. Answer it with no comment. Never look at it again. It makes no difference.

Because you can’t pretend that you didn’t get this message. You can’t delude yourself into believing you never received the truth and chose not to look at it. You can’t pretend that you don’t know. Nobody can.

They will, though. They will try. In a few years, someone, I don’t know who, but someone, will apologize. Will say that they didn’t know. And we will not give you the chance.

We will not give you the chance to pretend. We will not give you the chance to fake-cry. We will not give you the chance to say that you are sorry.

Because everyone who opposes freedom for Palestine had a chance, days, months, years ago, to stand for its liberation. They have a chance right now. They will tomorrow, next month, next year. There will be no one who didn’t have a chance, and we will not let vile people pretend that they didn’t have a choice.

You have a choice. You and everyone you know has a choice. Take it now. Free Palestine.

Goddamn, that was filled with more strawmen than an Iowa cornfield. Do you send that to everyone who's called out antisemitism?

Cuz here's the deal: I refuse to back a movement so rotten to the core, based on hate, lies, and distortions, wrapped in human rights language.

I do not tolerate harassing random schmucks on the street about a conflict an ocean away.

I do not tolerate scaring the living daylights out of those same people.

I do not tolerate equally genocidal rhetoric coming from your side.

I do not tolerate throwing other marginalized communities under the bus

I do not tolerate a movement so eager to throw democracy away just because they didn't get everything they wanted

I do not tolerate stanning for murderous, genocidal terrorist organizations.

I do not tolerate celebrating terrorism.

I do not tolerate the demonization of an entire country, and wishing for its destruction.

And I do not tolerate celebrating the slaughter of over 1,000 innocent people.

But most importantly, I *WILL* stand by the Jewish friends I have made in my life.

Palestine should have a state, but first, they must recognize that Israel is not going anywhere. No more denial of the history of the region, no more demonization of their fellow human beings, no more pipe dreams. No more wishing to kill every single Jew between the river and the sea. Get realistic. I will happily criticize the Israeli government and extremists on the Israeli side, but the free-palestine movement deserves all the criticism they get.

Also, are you threatening me?

[greenwire]

To all the pro-genocide self-identified "terfs" in this community who feel the need to tell me they wish people like me were dead. Not only am I still alive, I'm an actual fucking radical feminist.

Just because a young woman on the internet calls herself a radical feminist doesn’t mean she is one. I’ve been dealing with a nasty strain of this type of “feminist” for literal months now.

If you support the genocide of a group of women because they belong to the “terrorist” race, you’re not a radical feminist.

If you support denying women medical care because they belong to the “wrong” political group (refugees & republicans), you’re not a radical feminist.

If you support telling women not to have opinions unless the white hegemony approves of those opinions, you’re not a fucking radical feminist.

Just because some gender-haver with an axe to grind online called you a “trans-exclusionary radical feminist,” and you internalized that label, you’re not a fucking radical feminist.

Most of the people around here have done fuck-all when it comes to real world activism. That’s the only reason I can think of for white western women to worm their way out of the background and tell an Arab woman with decades of experience living openly as a feminist, being publicly critical of Islam in countries where apostasy can get you killed, and living openly as a lesbian, that I am a misogynistic Hamas supporter because I don’t think every single Arab deserves to die under a US-supplied Israeli tank. In the USA, I have years of experience volunteering for women’s shelters: stuffing envelopes, placing calls, and helping children with homework. I’ve donated my time and money to the causes I believe in: instead of complaining about Planned Parenthood’s gender neutral language, I actually help their organization because I understand that providing abortion access is not about political purity.

You’re not radical feminists. I am.

CW Child abuse

I am the one who sows fear and spreads terror.

I am Ouranos the Witch-King and we are resisting. I lead them. The faes. The elves. The dwarfs. The sirens. The nymphs. The whole Fair Folk marchs behind me.

Quick attack. Never let them get close, or they'll catch us. They're killing us. I won't let our blood get spilled. An eye for an eye. That's my policy.

I don't care if they hate me more for it.

I hope they hate me.

For I hate them even more.

And that fucking Spider Brotherhood that doesn't want to take a stand... I despise those soldiers of fortune. Their three heads who stay in the shadow, eager to sell their soul for whoever pays the price. I spite the Harvestman, sir of Silence, stuck in his godforsaken neutrality. I spite the Black Widow, master of toxins and poison, who could be our greatest deathbringer yet stands for nothing. I spite the Tarantula, lady of the Dark, and whose hate for mankind isn't strong enough to risk her head for the cause.

Take a stand. Take action. You're with us or against us, no in-between. For we are all the same for them, dirty Pix, children thieves, terrorists, barbarians. You will die as one of us no matter what, and you can be as righteous as you want, the men under the red coat won't care at your trial. You will die the same if you're just the local village witch minding your business or if you're a freedom fighter, so fight for liberty. Make them fear for their life as much as we fear for ours. Call me a monster, a creature all you want.

I am already the monster in my daughter's eyes. I couldn't care less.

Do I, though? Am I numb to Rhea's tears when she gets a smack or two? Do I think it's deserved when her nose bleeds after an endured hit? I won't let them make an orphan of my daughter.

But I don't have enough time to be a good father.

I don't have time and I don't have the patience to raise a child. I don't know a discipline that isn't brutal. I don't know an education that isn't violent. Her mother just put her in my arms and died. I am not gentle.

Yet I hope she hears me beg for her forgiveness when she's asleep.

I won't have enough time.

I don't have enough time.

She's hidden in that little house in the woods. Safe, at least. They won't find her here. I am not a good father, but I won't let my daughter grow in fear of mankind. I won't let her live every day of her life terrorised by the Inquisition.

Every slap, every smack, every punishment isn't by hate. Does she know it? This isn't by pleasure, neither. She may not be happy, but how can happiness matter if you aren't safe?

What Marinette did at the end of season 5 is dangerous lesson to internalize to young children because if people are dissecting and going deeply in depth with s5 episodes like Derision and the final two parter episode and mind you these are adults or at least pass the age intended for this show demographic how are young kids living similar lives to adrian or chloe going to be affected? Kids brats or not react differently the whole good victim mentality narrative in this show is disgusting when it comes to the topic of akumas and how it relates to mental health. Like if there is a chloe or adrien child watching this show I feel horrible for them because what hope or closure do they really get from this show what lesson imparted in this show is actually being taught in goodwill like did the producers or whoever behind it not see how bad the messaging with their abuse apologist is how are parents not complaining or at the very least concerned?

I was whirl-winded by the finale in of itself and what I got was Marinette essentially following through with the villains plan and keeping it from her love interest while simultaneously gaslighting about his father decisions and making the parent abuser a hero and his victim Adrien in awe.

If adults are trying to rationalize or do whatever they can to scrap whatever integrity left in Marinette character decisions making theories to salvage the wreckage done in the finale two-parter how are children or middle-schoolers rationalizing this because I deeply sincerely hope they don't ever internalize anything from this show the message they impart especially in one of the episodes revolving from Chloe Father especially and the leak episodes they eventually had to scrap because of the backlash is so damn bad.

Like forget the potential what if or canons or annoyance the fandom didn't get their wants with this show because ultimately the show is for kids not them what lesson do we learn here?

I am actually worried. This is a magical girl cartoon aren't the lesson they're supposed to invoke about to teach love and their is hope to change like Digimon for instance they had a character named Ken and Daiki encouraging him and his belief in the mc made him changed so much into a better person. But no, instead Marinette being like Chloe can never change there is no hope from her mouth makes me want to wrangle the writers and people behind it I hope they aren't parents because wtf? Who behind the decisions there for children to consume this sort of trash messaging in forgiving abuse apologist like Gabe.

She's supposed to be a role model but no instead Astruc uses her as a tool to spout whatever grievances he has with the fandom onto the show and characters inside it especially Chloe. I really don't recommend a show like MLB to anyone honestly unless they are aware of this show dumb messaging and people buying into it.

Exactly. It's so obvious that Marinette just ended up becoming a mouthpiece for the writers to spout their own opinions towards the end, like having her go on numerous anti-Chloe tirades. And I'm not saying that Chloe doesn't deserve to be called out, but it's done so unnaturally, and it feels like the writers are just desperate to get us to hate her without acknowledging any of the character depth they gave her.

And I'm not a Chloe stan or anything, and I do think that it's okay to show that sometimes, people can't change and that victims of abuse can become abusers themselves. But we didn't get that. We got the show telling us, in no uncertain terms, that Chloe is bad because she's evil inside and not because of abuse that we see on screen, and that her father who enabled her and taught her how to be this way is a victim and is more redeemable than her. The fuck is this???

And it just gets worse, because Chloe is evil inside and irredeemable and deserves more abuse as her comeuppance, but the magical terrorist/child abuser gets off scott-free? Gabriel Agreste gets what he wanted and dies happy and content while leaving behind a favorable legacy? What the fuck?

So yeah. I feel bad for the abused children who are watching this show, who are being told that their abuse doesn't matter, that they are just being overly sensitive/are evil inside, and only deserve more abuse. What a wonderfully horrible message.

Thank you for your ask!
