Apartheid Did Not End, It Evolved

Now that the cat is out the bag and your faves have been exposed, does it not bother you that your actions cost Natives their right to freedom of expression? For you to come out here and brag about fighting against a system you inherited, by maintaining it instead of doing away with it due to your desire for power and riches, is mad business! What strand are you on that has you acting like a…

Latin American Academia

Imagine...

Imagine sitting down sipping some hot coffee or a refreshing cas juice while translating letters in an indigenous language.

Imagine learning Bribri, Nahuatl, Quechua, Guaraní, or any native language and hear about great heroes and ancient traditions.

Imagine reading García Márquez, Cortázar, Neruda, Lyra, Oreamuno, Quiroga, etc. while listening to an old tango or a very slow salsa.

Imagine a multitude of plants, zoological sketches and mineral samples scattered around.

Resurfacing from a long (SO LONG, SORRY) hiatus to share the fundraising campaign of a very good friend of mine! She started a small non-profit called the Immigrant History Initiative that works directly on issues of race, immigration, and social justice, with a focus on eradicating xenophobia by centering the voices & stories of immigrant communities.

The mission of this nonprofit is so close to my heart. I grew up in one of the whitest parts of America as a second-gen Asian immigrant, and I virtually *never* saw faces like mine in textbooks (except maybe as anonymous victims). I didn’t know Asian Americans had a history in the United States from before the 1900s, and maybe because of that, I felt like I didn’t have a claim on this country as my own. 

Immigrant History Initiative creates tangible resources to bring the histories of communities of color into the classroom, to kids like me who really needed it. It’s run by a team of volunteers, and both co-founders still aren’t taking a salary because they’re putting all the money back into the org. If you have some money to spare this holiday season, please consider giving to them! It will go a long way <3 And if not, please consider reblogging!

Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You by Jason Reynolds and Ibram X Kendi: You've probably already heard of this brilliant book, a revolutionary truth-telling of history that reveals the origins of racism and follows it - and plentiful resistance against it - throughout US history to the present. It's the book that everyone wishes had been around generations before. It shows, clearly and uncompromisingly, how racism's insidious incentives - money and power - convinced/convinces many to dehumanize Black people for centuries. And even more deviously, racism drove some (even including some Black people) to become assimilationists - those who said/say Black people were to blame for the barriers put up against them, that if only they'd lift themselves up by their bootstraps, things would be better. But even through all this, there were those who resisted, from enslaved people rising up, to abolitionists fighting for freedom (against slavery and now against prison) to soldiers, scientists, artists, advocates forever striving for their people's liberation and survival. In Stamped, Reynolds creates a genius remix of Kendi's historical work, laying a fast-paced narrative that is compelling, conversational, and cool, accessible to everyone, youth and adults. Which is important, because EVERYONE needs to read this book. Have you ever wondered how racism started? Pondered over the puzzling contradictions of founding fathers? Wondered why change takes so long to manifest? How racism persists beyond slavery, beyond the Civil Rights movement? Want to know, really know history and how it shapes today? Read this book. I could not recommend it more. #antiracism #antiracist #racism #jasonreynolds #ibramxkendi #history #decolonizeeducation #disrupttexts #decolonizeyourmind #whitesupremacy #blackresistance #blackbooksmatter #blackauthors #blackauthorsmatter #liberation #resistance #race #historybooks #nonfictionbooks #currentevents https://www.instagram.com/p/CEnNATwBi5o/?igshid=wx43yjqav25g

When Truth Thrives

Under the starlight night sky, Thoughts come to life, As words dance their way, Into the steams of ink, With a careful spill, Like a set of secret whispers, Creating tales coated with wisdom.. Wisdom and tales are transferred, Onto sheets that hold memory, A canvas for the soul’s longing…Now the twisted tales, Of those who crafted them, Shall lose their relevance,Because the rewriting,to break…

I’m tired of the holocaust card and the antisemitism card and the hamas card! So please stop!

First of all, Palestinians are in NO WAY calling for the death of jewish people! If there’s anyone who’s doing that we urge them to STOP!!! Historically, Palestinians welcomed Jewish refugees fleeing the holocaust, my Palestinian family included! So again, if anyone is calling to harm jewish people in anyway, PLEASE STOP!! you’re not supporting us this way!! And we DO NOT WANT you to support us in that way!! This goes against everything, we the Palestinians, believe in!!!

Now, having said that.. I have some facts for you as a Palestinian with an Israeli citizenship, living inside the borders of 1948!

All political parties you mentioned, REFUSED and CONTINUE to refuse to make any coalition with the Palestinian party, which is why the 2 other leading parties have FAILED to form a government 3 times in a row, forcing the whole country to go into 4 consecutive elections in ONE YEAR! And the war you talk about? Well you explained that very well actually! Nevertheless, the ACTUAL FACT here is that the Palestinian party NEVER stood a chance REGARDLESS this recent war you mention!

As for Hamas! You say it’s a terrorist organization. Now I don’t have enough information about it to agree or disagree with that! But HERE IS THE FACT on how the recent war started! Again, as a Palestinian with the Israeli citizen ship, and who is living the reality you speak of with your degrees in History and your comfortable home in NY!

This year, it all started with Sheikh Jarrah! Now what is the story of Sheikh Jarrah you ask! Sheikh Jarrah is A Palestinian neighborhood in east Jerusalem. The Palestinian families living in Sheikh Jarrah are REFUGEES that have been VIOLENTLY DISPLACED and KICKED OUT of their own homes, mainly in Haifa, back in 1948! In 1967 there was a deal between Jordan a d Israel to grant those Refuged displaced families this neighborhood, and Israel was supposed to give them the legal papers 3 years after this deal, which by the way, NEVER HAPPENED! Israel did not hold it’s side of the deal!! Jumping to about a decade ago where ILLEGAL SETTLERS decided to TAKE OVER Palestinian houses with the help and protection of the occupation forces! And now this occupation has the audacity to come and say “sorry but we’re displacing you again, the same way we displaced you 73 years ago”!!! And lets just make it clear, all of this is happening with great violence, live ammunition, teargas and stun bombs, oppression and suppression in all kind of ways you can imagine!

Bear in mind, that Sheikh Jarrah is not the only neighborhood facing this violent atrocious displacement in east Jerusalem, there’s also Silwan and other neighborhoods! We’re talking about 500+ human beings in sheikh Jarrah, most of them are under 18 years old!! And 15500+ human beings in Silwan alone, 63% of them are under the age of 18!!! Replacing those 16000+ Palestinian human beings will be jewish settlers!! This is ETHNIC CLEANSING BY DEFINITION!!! THIS BY ALL MEANS VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL LAW!!!! THIS IS BY ALL MEANS TEXTBOOK BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION!!!

And if that is not enough, the occupation forces has decided to close Damascus Gate of the Al-Aqsa Mosque during the most holy nights of the holy muslim month, Ramadan, oppressing worshipers INCLUDING WOMEN AND CHILDRWN by throwing teargas and stun bombs inside the mosque and closing the doors of the mosque, trapping worshipers inside, with the teargas bombs!! shooting rubber coated bullets on worshipers who resisted this monstrous act! And to top all that off, attacked the clinic of the mosque with teargas and stun bombs while treating injured worshipers!!

In a response for these WAR CRIMES, Palestinians who have Israeli citizenship, living inside of the borders of 1948, have took the streets to PEACEFULLY PROTEST these horrible inhumane occupation! But of course, we were met with aggression from the police and armed settlers who chanted “Death to Arabs” very loudly and proudly! We were met with teargas and stun bomb, rubber coated bullets, and live ammunitions!! Those settlers roamed the streets, attacking Arab Palestinian homes with knives, guns, and other weapons, with the protection of the police!! Leaving Palestinians with NO PROTECTION WHAT SO EVER!!!

And in response to all of these WAR CRIMES, Hamas urged Israel to stop it’s aggression! When Israel did not stop this aggression, Hamas then took action!!

So is Hamas a terrorist organization? I don’t know! Probably! By the standards of the UN. But with these last WAR CRIMES committed by the occupation, Hamas was the only one responding and taking clear actions!

Now as for your comment about the original plan for Jewish state and its location in Palestine! And about self defense!! Now lets recall how that happened back in 1948, shall we?

PEOPLE WERE LIVING HERE!! In order to grant one people this safety, another people was endangered! Palestinians who WELCOMED Jewish refugees that survived the horrible inhumane holocaust were mercilessly MURDERED, MASSACRED, MISPLACED, KICKED OUT OF THEIR LAND VIOLENTLY AT GUN POINT!!!

And where did those violently displaced Palestinians end up you ask? Well, some of them ended up in Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and other middle eastern countries where they were NEVER granted citizenship, including those who were born on those countries, who remain STATELESS to this day! Another part of them ended up in Jordon, who eventually dis grant them citizenship. Others ended up in Europe, the US and other countries! And others ended up in, you’d never guess it, but Gaza! I’m not sure about exact statistics, but the majority of Gaza citizens are Palestinian families who were VIOLENTLY DISPLACED from cities like Haifa, Jafa, Lud, Acre and other OCCUPIED Palestinian villages and cities!!

As of 2019, more than 5.6 million Palestinians were registered with UNRWA as refugees, of which more than 1.5 million live in UNRWA-run camps. The term "Palestine refugee" does not include internally displaced Palestinians, who became Israeli citizens and neither displaced Palestinian Jews.

My grandmother’s family were violently displaced in 1948!! They were violently kicked out of the country to Lebanon! She died at the age of 88 never knowing what happened to her family, to her parents, her uncles!! Never knowing whether they made it, if they’re alive, if they’re in refugee camps or what their fate was!! She was 18 years old!!!! She lived the rest of her life battling PTSD! I had to wake her up from her nightmares and night-terrors every single night until the last night of her life!!

This was NEVER self defense! This was NEVER complicated and it’s still NOT COMPLICATED!!! This was always an inhumane SETTLER COLONIAL OCCUPATION! Whether you agree with this or not!!!

Whether Palestine is the home land of jewish people or not, DOES NOT, IT SHOULD NEVER, AND WILL NEVER justify the occupation!!!

All of this, is basically and in short the Palestinian Nakba that the world collectively decided to deny!!

So when you say this is a complicated issue, when you use the antisemitism card, hamas card or the holocaust card while discussing this, you are literally and by definition DENYING our history, our struggle, our pain and catastrophe and our Nakba, that evidently continues and is still occurring to this day in 2021, The same way the world has denied the holocaust!

So why denying the holocaust is not okay (and I’m not by any means saying it is okay do deny it), but denying the Nakba is always justified? Why, there has to be a global consensus (as it should) about what happened during the horrible inhumane holocaust, while when it comes to the Palestinian Nakba, there are always narratives, and we should listen to both sides?! Why resisting the occupation is always labeled as terrorism, even when it’s peaceful protests we’re talking about?!

And for the love of God, why are Palestinians labeled as terrorists until proven otherwise?! Isn’t it according to the law, that a criminal is innocent until proven otherwise? So why innocent Palestinians aren’t held to the same standards?! I mean this is the minimum of the minimum that we ask!!

And lastly while you use the word antisemitism, please bear in mind that Palestinians are Semites!!! Why is the aggression against us isn’t antisemitism?!

And why use the word antisemitism for describing racism against jewish people only to begin with?! This excludes all other semites! This implies that jewish people are the only semites! Well I got news for you! We are semites, Palestinians are semites! Racist crimes against us SHOULD be labeled as ANTISEMITISM!! Or was this word strategically chosen to begin with to make dehumanizing us easier?! And to make the justification of Israel’s war crime easier?!

Does your two master degrees in history have answers to my questions?!

Decolonize your mind! decolonize your education! And for the love of God, decolonize your narrative!!!

Hello, it is I, your friendly neighborhood historian. I am ready to lose followers for this post, but I have two masters degrees in history and one of my focuses has been middle eastern area studies. Furthermore, I’ve been tired of watching the world be reduced to pithy little infographics, and I believe there is no point to my education if I don’t put it to good use. Finally, I am ethnically Asheknazi Jewish. This does not color my opinion in this post — I am in support of either a one or two state solution for Israel and Palestine, depending on the factors determined by the Palestinian Authority, and the Israeli Government does not speak for me. I hate Netanyahu. A lot. With that said, my family was slaughtered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I have stood in front of that memorial wall at the Holocaust memorial in DC for my great uncle Simon and my great uncle Louis and cried as I lit a candle. Louis was a rabbi, and he preached mitzvot and tolerance. He died anyway. 

There’s a great many things I want to say about what is happening in the Middle East right now, but let’s start with some facts. 

In early May, there were talks of a coalition government that might have put together (among other parties, the Knesset is absolutely gigantic and usually has about 11-13 political parties at once) the Yesh Atid, a center-left party, and the United Arab List, a Palestinian party. For the first time, Palestinians would have been members of the Israeli government in their own right. And what happened, all of the sudden? A war broke out. A war that, amazingly, seemed to shield Benjamin Netanyahu from criminal prosecution, despite the fact that he has been under investigation for corruption for some time now and the only thing that is stopping a real investigation is the fact that he is Prime Minister.

Funny how that happened. 

There’s a second thing people ought to know, and it is about Hamas. I’ve found it really disturbing to see people defending Hamas on a world stage because, whether or not people want to believe it, Hamas is a terrorist organization. I’m sorry, but it is. Those are the facts. I’m not being a right wing extremist or even a Republican or whatever else or want to lob at me here. I’m a liberal historian with some facts. They are a terrorist organization, and they don’t care if their people die. 

Here’s what you need to know: 

There are two governments for the occupied Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza. In April 2021, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas postponed planned elections. He said it was because of a dispute amid Israeli-annexed East Jerusalum. He is 85 years old, and his Fatah Party is losing power to Hamas. Everyone knows that. Palestinians know that. 

Here’s the thing about Hamas: they might be terrorists, but aren’t idiots. They understand that they have a frustrated population filled with people who have been brutalized by their neighbors. And they also understand that Israel has something called the iron dome defense system, which means that if you throw a rocket at it, it probably won’t kill anyone (though there have been people in Israel who died, including Holocaust survivors). Israel will, however, retaliate, and when they do, they will kill Palestinian civilians. On a world stage, this looks horrible. The death toll, because Palestinians don’t have the same defense system, is always skewed. Should the Israeli government do that? No. It’s morally repugnant. It’s wrong. It’s unfair. It’s hurting people without the capability to defend themselves. But is Hamas counting on them to for the propaganda? Yeah. Absolutely. They’re literally willing to kill their other people for it.

You know why this works for Hamas? They know that Israel will respond anyway, despite the moral concerns. And if you’re curious why, you can read some books on the matter (Six Days of War by Michael Oren; The Yom Kippur War by Abraham Rabinovich; Rise and Kill First by Ronen Bergmen; Antisemitism by Deborah Lipstadt; and Israel: A Concise History of a Nation Reborn by Daniel Gordis). The TL;DR, if you aren’t interested in homework, is that Israel believes they have no choice but to defend themselves against what they consider ‘hostile powers.’ And it’s almost entirely to do with the Holocaust. It’s a little David v Goliath. It is, dare I say, complicated.

I’m barely scratching the surface here. 

(We won’t get into this in this post, though if you want to DM me for details, it might be worth knowing that Iran funds Hamas and basically supplies them with all of their weapons, and part of the reason the United States has been so reluctant to engage with this conflict is that Iran is currently in Vienna trying to restore its nuclear deal with western powers. The USA cannot afford to piss off Iran right now, and therefore cannot afford to aggravative Hamas and also needs to rely on Israel to destroy Irani nuclear facilities if the deal goes south. So, you know, there is that).

There are some people who will tell you that criticism of the Israel government is antisemitic. They are almost entirely members of the right wing, evangelical community, and they don’t speak for the Jewish community. The majority of Jewish people and Jewish Americans in particular are criticizing the Israeli government right now. The majority of Jewish people in the diaspora and in Israel support Palestinian rights and are speaking out about it. And actually, when they talk about it, they are putting themselves in great danger to do so. Because it really isn’t safe to be visibly Jewish right now. People may not want to listen to Jews when they speak about antisemitism or may want to believe that antisemitism ‘isn’t real’ because ‘the Holocaust is over’ but that is absolutely untrue. In 2019, antisemitic hate crimes in the United States reached a high we have never seen before. I remember that, because I was living in London, and I was super scared for my family at the time. Since then, that number has increased by nearly 400% in the last ten days. If you don’t believe me, have some articles about it (one, two, three, four, and five, to name a few). 

I live in New York City, where a man was beaten in Time Square while attending a Free Palestine rally and wearing a kippah. I’m sorry, but being visibly Jewish near a pro-Palestine rally? That was enough to have a bunch of people just start beating on him? I made a previous post detailing how there are Jews being attacked all over the world, and there is a very good timeline of recent hate crimes against Jews that you can find right here. These are Jews, by the way, who have nothing to do with Israel or Palestine. They are Americans or Europeans or Canadians who are living their lives. In some cases, they are at pro-Palestine rallies and they are trying to help, but they just look visibly Jewish.  God Forbid we are the wrong ethnicity for your rally, even if we agree.

This is really serious. There are people calling for the death of all Jews. There are people calling for another Holocaust. 

There are 14 million Jews in the world. 14 million. Of 7.6 billion. And you think it isn’t a problem the way people treat us?

Anyway (aside from, you know, compassion), why does this matter? This matters because stuff like this deters Jews who want to be part of the pro-Palestine movement because they are literally scared for their safety. I said this before, and I will say it again: Zionism was, historically speaking, a very unpopular opinion. It was only widespread antisemitic violence (you know, the Holocaust) that made Jews believe there was a necessity for a Jewish state. Honestly, it wasn’t until the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting that I supported it the abstract idea too.

I grew up in New York City, I am a liberal Jew, and I believe in the rights of marginalized and oppressed people to self-determine worldwide. Growing up, I also fit the profile of what many scholars describe as the self hating Jew, because I believed that, in order to justify myself in American liberal society, I had to hate Israel, and I had to be anti-Zionist by default, even if I didn’t always understand what ‘Zionism’ meant in abstract. Well, I am 27 years old now with two masters degrees in history, and here is what Zionism means to me: I hate the Israeli government. They do not speak for me. But I am not anti-Zionist. I believe in the necessity for a Jewish state — a state where all Jews are welcome, regardless of their background, regardless of their nationality. 

There needs to be a place where Jews, an ethnic minority who are unwelcome in nearly every state in the world, have a place where they are free from persecution — a place where they feel protected. And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that place being the place where Jews are ethnically indigenous to. Because believe it or not, whether it is inconvenient, Jews are indigenous to the land of Israel. I’ve addressed this in this post.

With that said, that doesn’t mean you can kick the Palestinian people out. They are also indigenous to that land, which is addressed in the same post, if you don’t trust me. 

What is incredible to me is that Zionism is defined, by the Oxford English Dixtionary, as “A movement [that called originally for] the reestablishment of a Jewish nationhood in Palestine, and [since 1948] the development of the State of Israel.” Whether we agree with this or not, there were early disagreements about the location of a ‘Jewish state,’ and some, like Maurice de Hirsch, believed it ought to be located in South America, for example. Others believed it should be located in Africa. The point is that the original plans for the Jewish state were about safety. The plan changed because Jews wanted to return to their homeland, the largest project of decolonization and indigenous reclamation ever to be undertaken by an indigenous group. Whether you want to hear that or not, it is true. Read a book or two. Then you might know what I mean.

When people say this is a complicated issue, they aren’t being facetious. They aren’t trying to obfuscate the point. They often aren’t even trying to defend the Israeli government, because I certainly am not — I think they are abhorrent. But there is no future in the Middle East if the Israelis and Palestinians don’t form a state that has an equal right of return and recognizes both of their indigenousness, and that will never happen if people can’t stop throwing vitriolic rhetoric around.  Is the Israeli Government bad? Yes. Are Israeli citizens bad? Largely, no. They want to defend their families, and they want to defend their people. This is basically the same as the fact that Palestinian people aren’t bad, though Hamas often is. And for the love of god, stop defending terrorist organizations. Just stop. They kill their own people for their own power and for their own benefit. 

And yes, one more time, the Israeli government is so, so, so wrong. But god, think about your words, and think about how you are enabling Nazis. The rhetoric the left is using is hurting Jews. I am afraid to leave my house. I’m afraid to identify as Jewish on tumblr. I’m afraid for my family, afraid for my friends. People I know are afraid for me. 

It’s 2021. I am not my great uncle. I cried for him, but I shouldn’t have to die like him. 

Words have consequences. Language has consequences. And genuinely, I do not think everyone is a bad person, so think about what you are putting into the world, because you’d be surprised how often you are doing a Nazi a favor or two. 

Is that really what you want? To do a Nazi a favor or two? I don’t think that you do. I hope you don’t, at least.

That’s all. You know, five thousand words later. But uh, think a little. Please.

Decolonizing the Academia

For some time now I’ve seen alot of people point out how the academic aesthetic as a whole is centred around Europe and western academia. 

Knowing how rich other cultures are my goal with this blog is to share with you elements from other places around the world that don’t get as much attention and to, hopefully, make your love for this amazing community even bigger

Buzzing with Questions: The Inquisitive Mind of Charles Henry Turner by Janice N Harrington: This #ownvoices book explores the discoveries of an eternally curious scientist, Charles Henry Turner, whose fascinating findings in the fields of entomology, animal behavior, and biology led to groundbreaking gains both for science and for African American representation in science. Can spiders learn and adapt their web-weaving to their environment? Can bees see color? How do ants solve problems? Through constant inquiry and persistent effort, Turner discovered the answers to all these questions and more. I wished I had learned about Turner when I was a little girl who adored bugs and filled a hat full of cicadas at girl scout camp :) This book will excite and inspire young scientists - and older, too! #kidsbooks #kidsreading #kidsnonfiction #biography #weneeddiversebooks #scientist #blackscientist #stembooksforkids #entomologist #animalbehavior #sciencebooks #kidsbookswelove #librarybooks #decolonizeeducation #inquiry https://www.instagram.com/p/CHygsGNhB3Q/?igshid=1futly2ddaqbt
