Duke: "So then Ra's went-"

Damian: "You know that's not grandfather's name right"

Duke: "Hm?"

Damian: "that's not his name it's a title, you're supposed to say the whole title, his name isn't 'Head'"

Duke:

Damian:

Duke: "She give me Ra's on my Ghul til I…"

Damian, sighing, unsheathing a sword: "Thomas, I know you will survive this, so I will not be holding back"

If you’re not Jewish/Muslim/Israeli/Palestinian and you are talking publicly in any way about the i/p conflict you should probably do your research about dog whistles and take that info seriously. It shouldn’t be up to affected groups to educate you while actively being triggered and traumatized.

It’s not fun to constantly worry if your friends secretly hate you or if they are sliding into antisemitic spaces or are ok with genocide as long is against the right group of people.

You aren’t free of antisemitism or Islamophobia just because you don’t sit around thinking, “I hate Jews/Muslims/Arabs.” This shit is structural. I don’t care how many Jews or Muslims or Arabs you know. If you haven’t actively deconstructed your own bias against these groups, you’re probably still hateful whether you realize it or not.

If there's one thing I've respectively noticed from Zionists and defenders of Israeli war crimes, it's that every source, argument and potential avenue to explore each explanation is riddled with cherry picking, moving the goalposts and mental gymnastics to explain why their conclusions, which typically are barely even related to the sources they use, somehow overshadow literal reality and what we see with our own eyes.

While scrolling, one example I came across was the repetitive misrepresentation of BLM, antifa and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr, as well as statistics, scholarly journal articles and government website information. These are all good sources, yet every single time they're mangled completely until the only possible "interpretation" of any of them is "well Israel is right to defend itself after shorting rockets beforehand because the retaliation was brutal and all Arabs are bad by default therefore". As if any of these sources are even about individual exceptions of Israel versus hatred towards Arabs.

I think what I find most absurd, as someone in the middle of their own studies, is how every bit of critical thinking and logic goes out the window as they do every single thing possible to do what professors worldwide say NOT to do when evaluating sources. It's like watching a race to see who can tangle and misconstrue scientific information to fit their world view the fastest. Then said people say "um actually I studied at university before so it's actually not wrong that I'm doing this exact this everyone is warned not to do because I have a permit". Ignorance I can forgive, but willful and arrogant manipulation? That's another thing entirely.

negative connotations to Arabic phrase ‘God is Great’ incorrect. average praying Muslim does takbir (says Allahu Akbar) a minimum 95 times a day and should have been counted.

A cool positive to learning Hebrew is I'm left-handed, so if I ever learn to write Hebrew, I won't ever have to deal with pen smudges on my pinky 🤩

I was talking to my friend and she told that I'm pretty and have nice hair and that men should be catcalling me on the street.

So as Christian Arabic woman, I said "What, do want me to like put on a hijab?"

So, she told me I need therapy.

usually i try to respect strangers' privacy and not listen in on their phone conversations (<- lie, i'm a nosy bitch) but this girl on the tram was speaking in such a fascinating mixture of hungarian and arabic, i could listen to it for hours

some arabs and some muslims from the swana region continue being shocked at their governments for not doing anything and worse having a hand in the genocides that are being committed right now in both palestine and sudan or the massacres in yemen show how much they have never cared about the indigenous issues or the ethnic groups and religious minorities around them and what these governments commit every single day on and off their soil and how long they have ignored the zionist occupation and how they normalized it through the years and how some of them even supply it with oil, gas and fruits and vegetables even. and how these governments have for decades and still to this moment pick and choose what genocide they want to acknowledge.

It's hard to keep seeing people that are flabbergasted by this or genuinely thinking that turkey,egypt,iran,saudi arabia,jordan,uae,syria governments...etc are for justice and for freedom or they're not capable of doing much for Palestine right now and they're doing their best. or thinking a dictator like saddam hussein that has committed uncountable massacres actually would stop this if he was alive right now I keep seeing videos of the ba'athist iraq flag raised and people praising him in some protests ignoring the fact that he's genocidal himself or because those people he killed aren't human enough and deserved it so it doesn't make him genocidal in their eyes. or saying we coexisted under the ottoman empire and it was so much better than now which completely erases my people's genocide and so much more.

half of these conversations is lesser evil bs and palestinian struggle and liberation being used for this and for spreading disgusting ideologies about another group of people is absolutely evil.

I mentioned I am putting together new readings lists and in the order of what I've been most questioned about:.

readings I've found helpful in making sense of my childhood adverse experiences, particularly psychology theories on trauma and feminist texts about sexual violence

introductory pieces to marxism and economic/class warfare analysis

south/latin american feminists, particularly with decolonial and antiblacknesss lines

less Introductory Social Reproduction Theory works I particularly enjoy

I might expand the first into including some literary works as well. as always I want to give a little of my own commentary and that takes me even longer than making sense of my digital and physical files. but if anyone has their own suggestions I would love to hear them.

besides spanish portuguese and english I read french and my girlfriend Italian

i don’t understand why people making ‘dune is bad because of cultural appropriation’ posts also tell people that it doesn’t matter when the plot is explained to them because like. the plot is that the cultural appropriators are the bad guys? that fundamentally changes everything, no? a white guy quite literally declares himself the messiah on a planet that has been exploited for decades because it is home to a valuable resource. the white people in the film are the americans and arrakis is the middle east and the spice is oil (i know the book was written in the 60s so this wasn’t the analogy that the author had in mind but if the shoe fits…). they appropriate the culture to win them over. you’re upset that jessica is wearing ‘muslim’ clothing, but she is doing so to pretend to be one with them so that they will more easily accept her son as ruler over them. it’s not a white saviour narrative - paul doesn’t save them he commits a genocide. like. how does this not make a difference to how you view it?

Most of the i/p related posts ive reblogged are very much aimed at international audiences (which unfortunately means its mostly usa centered. Like half of the posts I see israel are talking about the us. For some reason) but despite being considered by some a Nich Internet Microcelebrity me just posting stuff on tumblr isnt doing much so I am starting to look into activist groups within here because after everything that have happened I can not imagine my future not at least somewhat involving taking part of activism
