#not everyone has to talk about Palestine

[my-jewish-life]

People are really over here trying to cancel Markiplier over this.......

He doesn't owe us anything! Not everyone has to talk about it! Just leave the man alone!

[radiant--as-the--sun]

do people really just wanna be fans of the hunger games and not mention palestine at all? like honestly? do you really wanna just support fictional uprisings and fighting back against fictional oppression but don't actually give a shit about it in real life? did y'all genuinely learn and internalize nothing from this series????

“I don’t talk about Palestine because I don’t like going into politics : /” fuck you. The existence of Muslims and MENA people has always been political to the West. Their lives and their deaths. Their happiness and anger and sorrow. Their love and hatred. Their sweat and blood and tears. Everything has always been reduced to politics when they are more than you could ever begin to comprehend. Palestine will be free. And so will Sudan and Pakistan and Lebanon and Yemen and Syria and every other country, place and people who suffer only for their pain to be called political by those responsible for and complicit in it

aaron stated his pronouns were he/him to jounalists and news outlets before his self-immolation. speculating someone else's gender, especially after his death is disrespectful and not your business. even if he went by lilly and used other pronouns, you are essentially trying to out him and disrespecting his wishes. maybe you should do as aaron asked and keep your focus on palestine instead of sending hate to a black trans person on here

im not sending hate to this person, i havent even interacted with him unless those anons were sent by him. i continue to use he/him for aaron bushnell, as per his last public communications, because as per the original post this is about, this is all speculation. i appreciate you coming to me off anon to tell me this, but i want you to think about whether this discussion is genuinely harmful to aaron bushnell's legacy or the palestinian freedom movement as a whole, whether it is just uncomfortable or in poor taste, and most importantly whether it warranted the widespread backlash against trans women on this website that it elicited.

genuinely anyone raving about the met gala this year and rating outfits — i don’t care if you did this in years past, if you are talking about the met gala and not also talking about the suffering in palestine right now, that is despicable. ESPECIALLY since there was a protest for palestine right outside those stupid, extravagant doors that celebrities payed $75k to get through.

Thinking about how "self defence" is considered okay until a country the west is not allied with does it.

I'm getting the feeling that I'll be seeing a lot of Zionists' comments on my posts unfortunately, but I'll inform everyone about them if you want to block and move on

This was off my strike posts earlier

If you missed the last one I had posted

Let's not forget that Israel refused HAMAS's deal to release hostages, by the way.

And just the other day, I found out that Israel's always had a plan for ethnic cleansing and recommend everyone to look into what's known as Plan Dalet created back in 1948.

Peace was never in Israel's plans -- genocide was.

Reminder: Bisan has called for marches for Ceasefire between today to the 20th, and there is an ongoing strike that started today extending to the 25th.

Everyone talking about adopting Palestinian kids needs to read Scott Carney’s The Red Market and a brief definition of genocide outside of the physical destruction of lives.

[starlooove]

And on another note despite what I’m focusing on I do think it’s abhorrent to assume everyone who voted for or supported Harris is chill with genocide like yeah that’s like. What blew up online that tori maya shit was stupid as fuck but due to the disorganization and lateness of this campaign there was REAL misinformation being spread especially to our elders by ppl misconstruing info and a large number of ppl genuinely RIGHT NOW believe she’s pro Palestine called for a ceasefire etc. Like that’s a big chunk of the issue happening rn - where ppl literally made up policies for her or suddenly fell for “neutral” talking points bc it’s on someone they like and spread that. Like idk I feel like until everyone can be honest and humble nobody’s getting anywhere

[rxvera]

Sometimes I think people need to take a step back from arguing about Israel and Palestine all day and realize that there are much larger scale problems in the world. Everyone's become so focused one issue that they're willing to ignore and belittle the suffering of everyone else.

[saifahname]

Yeah trying really hard not to spit an Israeli right between eyebrows rn

i hate all these rich privileged trans dudes online who have access to everything that people die waiting years and years for and they literally never use their massive platform (that they only have because they’re white and skinny) to actually do any kind of good

As much as one can draw comparisons to the Jewish Holocaust to what israel is doing to Palestinians, i still dont think its right to compare jews to nazis

Its wrong on many levels, from factually wrong, to morally wrong.

not only is it wrong in the way that israel doesnt speak for all jews, so if you were to make a comparison you would refer to israel as the nazis, not jews.

but overall calling the oppressed by the title of their oppressors in the way of 'jews are acting like nazis' doesnt get anything done. among other things

israel is fascist, israel is colonialist, israel is commiting genocide, israel is islamophobic, israel is antisimetic (in the common use of the term that refers to only jews). israel white supremacy. these all true statements

but jews are being the nazis is not. and not only does nothing to help anyone but hits at every jew, both palestinian-hating zionist israeli jews and every other jew

all its showing when you compare jews to nazis is that you dont understand the situation, the nuance, the history. you are using your anger to be antisimetic

what you can say instead is that israel is being islamophobic and commiting genocide. israel is terroising people. israel is occupying stolen land. israel is practicing white supremacy. israel is a fascist state, and brainwashes its citizens to subscribe to its fascist ideas.

Dont let whats happening make you hateful towards the wrong people, and dont makenit lose your ability to understand the complexity that is the israeli citizens upbringing

meaning, regadless of how we emotionally feel first about zionist israeli jews, logically we should recognize that there are ex-zionist israeli jews and that is worth something. that is worth pursing and fighting for, just like for ex-fascists of any kind

this does not mean forgive nor forget. this does not mean you cant feel anger or even hate

it means that you need to recognize what is actually important to focus on. learn nuance, learn complexity. learn to stop and pick apart what youre seeing and hearing and above all else lead with your love of Palestine and Palestinian people and remember that you should also love Jews

Because this is not Jews. Jews are not Nazis. Nazis are Nazis. Israel is not Nazis and Israel is not Jews.

And if you cant tell the difference and this just seems like im being redundant, then idk what to tell you. If youre not willing to consider you may be wrong about something like this and would rather die on the hill that jews are being nazis and that that is an accurate and appropriate comparison, a comparison that is so necessary that you need to say it outloud, then maybe youre more reactionary then you might realize.

#FreePalestine if it wasnt clear

I saw a dumbfuck post about how the only realistic options are that Palestinians or Israelis commit total genocide (what's going on now stupid?), they keep fighting until another country takes over and treats them both badly, or ~both sides forgive each other~ and how the last one is the only good option, and I wanna break that down but like. Lemme just say realistically immediately after the creation of a Palestinian state what will probably happen is 1) many Israelis will leave because they won't want to live in a state where Palestinians have nominally equal rights, and many of them have been indoctrinated to believe Palestinians are rabid 2) many of the Israelis who do stay will still hold economic privileges over many Palestinians and will as such hold sway in the government alongside Palestinians that have managed to build wealth and the popular resistance leaders that survive to see a Palestinian state

hate tumblr's hatred for tiktok because why haven't I heard a thing about their digitine block party movement on here

not that I've been looking to see if anyone's talked about it, but I shouldn't have to look lol, it should be everywhere because it's incredible

some no talent rich woman quoted "let them eat cake" at the met gala and said it was the best day ever when it was the day isreal started attacking rafah

so everyone was like, well the last time a rumor started that someone said that she got guillotined... and you ACTUALLY said it...

so now everyone's unfollowing and blocking any well known person who hasn't spoken up in the eight months since october and who definitely have the money and/or influence to make a significant difference, including EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. who went to the met gala

and it's working lmao
