The Gospel According to Berkeley
Mary: What? More visitors?
Professor: Greetings Joseph and Miriam from Nazareth. The Star of Bethlehem and GPS showed us the way to your door. Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are three wise men from the West.
Kelcy: Okay, um, three wise persons.
Professor: Of course. May we enter?
Wordle: Love the decor. Very earthy.
Kelcy: Yes, so sustainable.
Professor: Oh, yes, what are these walls? Tadelakt?
Mary: I'm sorry but it's really late. I just had a baby.
Joseph: Yeah, and we we already had a visit from the three wise men from the East. they just left, so maybe it's not a good time.
Professor: With all due respect to these Eastern "wise men," we're from Berkeley.
Joseph: Okay. Anyway, they give us their blessing and they told us that our newborn son will be the King of the Jews.
Professor: The Jews? King of the Jews? What, what do you mean Jews?
Wordle: I don't see anything Jewish here.
Professor: You have to understand, Jews will only come to this land 1,948 years from now.
Kelcy: As a colonialist power!
Professor: Oh, I see someone's been listening this semester.
Kelcy: True.
Joseph: What do you mean? We are Jews!
Professor: No. No, you're not.
Mary: So what are we?
Professor: You are Palestinians, of course.
Wordle: That drip is fire.
Mary: Palas... what?
Professor: Palestinians, the indigenous inhabitants of this land. In the beginning, God created the Heaven, the Earth and Palestinians.
Mary: Oh wait, so my baby is also Palestiniman?
Professor: Of course. And you don't practice Judaism, you practice Islam.
Wordle: Allahu Akbar, man.
Kelcy: So Akbar.
Joseph: What is Islam?
Professor: I'm sorry, that's a very islamophobic question.
Kelcy: Actually, it makes me feel unsafe.
Joseph: So, wait a minute. Our baby will be the King of the Palestinians?
Professor: Exactly. Too bad he'll be dead at a very young age because he'll be murdered by the Jews.
Joseph: Oh, my god.
Kelcy: Um, excuse me, Professor? Uh, so there are Jews living here?
Professor: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Only Palestinians.
Wordle: Oh. So the Palestinians will kill Jesus?
Professor: No, no. No Palestinian would ever hurt anyone. Never. Especially not Hamas.
Wordle: Wait. I don't understand.
Professor: Okay, guys this is exactly what our next class is about, alright? How did the Jews kill Jesus without even existing? It's going to be fun, alright? Don't worry about it.
Wordle: Wow, it's so worth 54 grand a year in tuition.
Professor: Right?
Kelcy: Exciting.
Professor: Anyways, congratulations on your definitely not Jewish baby boy.
Kelcy: Yay! Woo! Can we go visit Santa in the North Pole?
Professor: North Palestine. North Palestine. Santa is a Palestinian too!
Kelcy: Santa hu Akbar!
Professor: Very good.
Kelcy: Ho, ho, ho.
Joseph: What the hell was that?
Mary: Jesus...
==
This sort of ahistorical revisionist bullshit is taught as indisputable fact in bogus ideological domains, like Postcolonial Studies and Palestine Studies. It's no more true than that two million Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and escaped across the desert. Their continuous presence in the region is well documented.

This is Bisan Owda (@wizard_bisan1 on IG), she's a young journalist who's been documenting the daily life in Gaza, Palestine since before October of last year and continues to do so now, as her and her family have been displaced by Israel, her home and workplace destroyed in the bombings. If you don't already follow her, I highly suggest to do so, as she takes interviews from the local people in the refugee camps and provides a fantastic insight into Palestinians as a nation, their culture and the horrors they face under the Israeli apartheid regime in their own land.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Hello my friend, how are you? Have you forgotten my cause? I am that person who was displaced from my city, without water, food, or hope. I am your neighbor, and my identity is confirmed by my ID. Please tell me you remember my identity; I am resisting here with my stones. The children will grow tomorrow, and we will drive away the strange dog. Long live my country despite their influence and armies. My feet are rooted in the soil, and I have not left my land. Should I sell my homeland to the wolves and buy my exile with it? I want your support, and I have all hope that we will live and that the flowers of my city will thrive from the rubble with your help. I do not know if my body will remain whole until evening or if I will go to heaven. I am tired here, my friend.

Hello my dears
I am Bahaa, a Palestinian-Ghazawi photographer
My life consisted of my beautiful, wonderful work with international companies and agencies. In addition, I was working on developing myself and my photography equipment.
Suddenly it was gone and all my dreams, ambitions and equipment in the family’s 5-storey house were destroyed
I was trying to create a project of a lifetime after hard years of continuous work, but before starting it, it was destroyed as well
Now I will tell you about my brother. He is a visual artist and a calligraphy artist, and everything he owned was destroyed
Now I will talk about my mother, the beautiful, generous woman. We owned a kindergarten and she ran it despite her illnesses with diabetes and pulmonary fibrosis. They also burned and destroyed the kindergarten to the point that they did not leave us anything to earn a living from, and now, after the difficulty of the road out of Gaza, we do not know how to travel to treat my mother.
I am asking you to please save the life of an entire family and I hope that you will help me so that we can all travel 🙏🏽
I don't want anything else but to survive the war, death and annihilation that haunt us every second

Ask an older generation of white South Africans when they first felt the bite of anti-apartheid sanctions, and some point to the moment in 1968 when their prime minister, BJ Vorster, banned a tour by the England cricket team because it included a mixed-race player, Basil D’Oliveira. After that, South Africa was excluded from international cricket until Nelson Mandela walked free from prison 22 years later. The D’Oliveira affair, as it became known, proved a watershed in drumming up popular support for the sporting boycott that eventually saw the country excluded from most international competition including rugby, the great passion of the white Afrikaners who were the base of the ruling Nationalist party and who bitterly resented being cast out. For others, the moment of reckoning came years later, in 1985 when foreign banks called in South Africa’s loans. It was a clear sign that the country’s economy was going to pay an ever higher price for apartheid. Neither of those events was decisive in bringing down South Africa’s regime. Far more credit lies with the black schoolchildren who took to the streets of Soweto in 1976 and kicked off years of unrest and civil disobedience that made the country increasingly ungovernable until changing global politics, and the collapse of communism, played its part. But the rise of the popular anti-apartheid boycott over nearly 30 years made its mark on South Africans who were increasingly confronted by a repudiation of their system. Ordinary Europeans pressured supermarkets to stop selling South African products. British students forced Barclays Bank to pull out of the apartheid state. The refusal of a Dublin shop worker to ring up a Cape grapefruit led to a strike and then a total ban on South African imports by the Irish government. By the mid-1980s, one in four Britons said they were boycotting South African goods – a testament to the reach of the anti-apartheid campaign. . . . The musicians union blocked South African artists from playing on the BBC, and the cultural boycott saw most performers refusing to play in the apartheid state, although some, including Elton John and Queen, infamously put on concerts at Sun City in the Bophuthatswana homeland. The US didn’t have the same sporting or cultural ties, and imported far fewer South African products, but the mobilisation against apartheid in universities, churches and through local coalitions in the 1980s was instrumental in forcing the hand of American politicians and big business in favour of financial sanctions and divestment. By the time President FW de Klerk was ready to release Mandela and negotiate an end to apartheid, a big selling point for part of the white population was an end to boycotts and isolation. Twenty-seven years after the end of white rule, some see the boycott campaign against South Africa as a guide to mobilising popular support against what is increasingly condemned as Israel’s own brand of apartheid.
. . . continues at the guardian (21 May, 2021)

I, a student actively protesting against investment in Israel, called my grandmother yesterday. I offhandedly mentioned that I was still bruised from my run in with the cops. She was appalled. She asked me “why on earth would you be protesting?!”. I, somewhat surprised, she knows I care about left wing political causes and like, human life, told her I was protesting because I believed in the cause. She then asked me “you believe in the cause of getting rid of Jews?!?”
Of course not. I told her that I was protesting against genocide and that many of the people protesting beside me were Jewish. That our encampment held a Seder led by Jewish students followed by Maghrib (evening prayers) for Muslim students. She was so surprised. She told me to be safe and to call my mom if I got arrested.
These right wing fake news rabbit holes are so easy to fall down and get stuck in. To the extent that this very smart woman genuinely thought I was protesting to get rid of Jewish people rather than against genocide.
Good luck out there folks. Keep pushing, keep supporting Palestinians and protestors in any way you can. Call your grandma.
Free Palestine!

“I Need Your Support to Continue My Studies and Build My Future from Gaza🍉🍉
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My name is Mahmoud Naeem Abu Hatab, from Gaza.
I am a university student majoring in Software and Databases at Al-Azhar University. Since the beginning of my academic journey, I have been passionate about User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design, as well as website development. These fields inspire me, and I dream of advancing my skills and building a professional career in them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unfortunately, during the recent war, I lost my laptop, which was essential for both my studies and work. I was forced to flee my home and relocate to southern Gaza due to the difficult circumstances. Despite my efforts to replace my laptop, the financial situation has made it impossible to afford a new one.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Without a laptop, continuing my studies or seeking job opportunities in programming and design has become extremely challenging. This directly affects my academic progress and future career.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today, I am reaching out to ask for your support to help me purchase a new laptop. Having a laptop would allow me to resume my studies and work on programming and design projects that are crucial for improving my skills. It is a vital step towards completing my education and pursuing my dream of becoming a professional in programming and UX/UI design.
Tumblr media
I know that the situation in Gaza is difficult, but I believe education is the only path to building a better future for myself and my family. If you are able to contribute any amount to help me get a new laptop, it would be a real opportunity for me to get back on track academically and professionally.
I am determined to keep learning and working despite the challenges, but I need your support to achieve this goal. Every donation or act of help, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in my life.
If you’d like to support me, you can donate through:
GoFundMe
OR
USDT
Tumblr media
If you can assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you for your support and kindness! 🌿

The destruction of culture is an evident part of genocide. Al-Omari housed centuries old Palestinian manuscripts that convey aspects of the intellectual history of Palestinians. I am not sure of their status. Both literal and metaphorical life is being extinguished by Israel.
