Back at the start of October I became educated on the Palestinian genocide and advocated for those in Palestine on various platforms of mine. I do not feel comfortable with my silence on this account as I have a fair amount of traction here. So here is my 4000 word document on the conflict in Gaza, it has educating history and information, as well as updates.

There is a fair amount of information missed out due to losing my password to the account this was posted on, but I plan on getting back to updating it as soon as possible!

In 1947 the United Nations recommended the partition of Palestine and separation of Jewish and Arab states.

This meant that they would be giving away the Palestinian land and giving part of it to the Jewish (now mainly Israeli)and part to Arab (mainly Palestinian) people.

In 1948, Britain (who were in occupation and control of Palestine) finally gave the land up and departed back to England, leaving the Jews and Arabs to fight out who was going to get the land – this turned into the war that we know to have been the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Israeli government.

since that day, Israel (as it came to be) have been taking over more and more land, by doing so, they are killing, capturing and torturing the innocent Palestinian civilians.

This has been going on for 75+ years, and the media refuses to allow us to speak about it.

Hamas is an extremist group fighting for liberation of their land,we have to take note that Hamas wouldn't be doing what they are doing now had the Israeli government not taken over the Palestinian land.

80 years ago Israel did not exist, Palestine was where Israel now stands. Innocent Palestinians have been captured, killed and put into concentration camps which live on the Israeli land. Yet the media never talks about it.

Even if this is a supposed war against Hamas, Hamas does not represent the entirety of Palestine.

With what is happening in Israel right now innocent Palestinians are being murdered once again, yet the media is refusing to talk about it.

The Israeli government have shut off water supply to Gaza (home to 2,000,000 Palestinians, half of those being children) and have started launching white phosphorus, a harmful chemical that can cause burns and even death, due to injury and illness.

recently Israel has mentioned that they are going to bring Gaza to the ground, every building will be nothing but rubble by the end of it.

Israeli government had recently given Palestinians the opportunity to leave to Egypt for a safe passage, letting the citizens know which paths were safe and which were not, the Palestinians loaded themselves onto open trucks, so the planes belonging the the Israeli government could see them and know that they are innocent. Isreal bombed the trucks and the passage. Killing many, including children.

They warned Palestinians in Gaza to head to South Gaza so they could bomb the north, many evacuating to the South. Israel bombed the South, killing even more.

And then continued to bomb ambulances those in need of medical assistance were in.

Israeli propaganda is trying to make us believe that these are mere defence tactics, yet the majority of us can see that this is just another ethnic cleanse in the form of self defence. Israeli government is trying to get rid of everything and everyone from the land, which will no doubt become Israel in the near future if their "defence mechanisms" go to plan.

The media is trying to convince you that Israel is in the right by starting the war and fighting back, since "Hamas started it."

But the 7 decades worth of oppression of Palestine in the hands of the Israeli government says otherwise.

Israel has one of the most progressive militaries in the world (declared in 1967 during the Jerusalem massacre) meanwhile also receiving guns from the US, which are illegal in Gaza.) But Palestinians have nothing, only the rocks and stones from their blown up homes.

It's not a war if it's not a fair fight.

They want you to see Palestine as an enemy that they must eliminate, but once again – this is just Israeli propaganda.

standing with Palestine does not mean you support terrorism, it means you support resistance and liberation. Standing with Israel means that you support the mass-murder, genocide, torture and ethnic cleansing of Palestine and Palestinians.

For every city in Israel is a concentration camp home to thousands of Palestinians.

————————————————

Israeli forces have killed 2750 Palestinians in the recent attacks, 1030 of those are assumed to be children.

Israeli forces air-struck a supposed Hamas base inside of Gaza hospital Al-Ahli, 800 Palestinians were killed in the attack.

Israeli human rights activist against antisemitism Hananaya Naftalí was seen posting to twitter reporting on Al-Ahli, in his first post he was seen to say "BREAKING: Israeli Air Force struck at Hamas terrorist base inside hospital in Gaza."

He then deleted that tweet after backlash and reposted a new one saying "The mysterious explosions in Gaza." "Hamas blames Israel for this. I believe it is either a failed rocket that hit the hospital or something that was done on purpose in order to get international support."

check out @/aquilahel on tiktok for the tweets.

For anyone who thinks that this is just a two sided issue, I will tell you why it is not.

6 year old boy Wadea Al-Fayoumi was stabbed and killed by his landlord in Plainfield, Illinois for being Palestinian and Muslim. The 71 year old landlord Joseph Czuba forced his way into the house when Wadea and his mother were home, stabbing the mother once, she managed to hide from him and waited until he left. After he left she came out to find her son stabbed 26 times. Joseph was found sat outside the apartment complex by police.

This is not just an issue for Israel and Palestine, this is affecting Palestinians and Muslims all around the globe.

We have received some good news, the president of Columbia Gustavo Petro has stated he "does not support genocide" and has sent humanitarian aid to Gaza.

We have also been notified that "ground operation" (Israeli forces operation to leave Gaza on the ground) has been posponed due to "weather disturbances", with further investigation we can see that the date it is set to happen on has clear weather and no disturbances, yet we have seen that Columbia's Gustavo Petro announcing he doesn't support genocide and sending help to Gaza has caused Israeli forces to pospone the operation due to the lack of support from a member of the United Nations.

Our voices really do make a difference.

———————————————

Israeli forces have bombed a 2000 year old orthodox church in Gaza where groups of people who had either evacuated or had to leave their homes were seeking refuge. It was reported that 18 Palestinian-Christians were killed, and 18 more injured.

The united nations had a meeting to discuss the plans for the Israeli attack on Gaza. They were asked whether or not humanitarian aid should be let into Gaza.

IN FAVOUR FOR HUMANITARIAN AID (6)

Brazil, China, Gabon, Mozambique, Russian Federation, United Arab Emirates

AGAINST HUMANITARIAN AID (1)

United States

8 abstentions (refusing to vote), leading to the failure of adopting a solution for humanitarian aid.

The United Nations held another meeting to discuss the possibility of a creasefire on Gaza, the results are as shown.

IN FAVOUR FOR CEASEFIRE (5)

China, Gabon, Mozambique, Russia, United Arab Emirates

AGAINST CEASEFIRE (4)

France, Japan, United Kingdom, United States

ABSTAINED (6)

Albania, Brazil, Ecuador, Ghana, Malta, Switzerland

Currently there are no updates on whether a solution has been put together.

Scottish Priminister Humza Yousaf has called for ceasefire on Gaza, and has said that Scotland is willing to take Gazan refugees.

Multiple countries have given humanitarian aid to Gaza, but it is all in trucks at the border, which is closed. The border between Gaza and Egypt was supposed to be opened by Israeli forces on Monday 16th October,

Saturday 21st October Israeli forces have opened the gate, letting in only 20 trucks, this will not be enough to sustain and aid 2 million people and they know this.

Total statistics from Thursday 19th October:

At least 3,785 Palestinians have been killed and 12,493 wounded in Israeli strikes in Gaza since October 7th.

Jewish-American conservative talk show host Ben Shapiro posted a picture of a "burnt Jewish baby" claiming that it is one from the Hamas-Israel attack. He posted this photo to twitter after receiving backlash from "Jew haters" (as he called them) who did not believe that any babies had been harmed by Hamas. (as there is no real proof of any individual attacks by Hamas.)

The picture has since been proven to be artificially generated.

Shapiro only 19 hours ago took to the internet to tell everyone how "America will avert world war three." Talking on the Palestine-Israel situation. (It's more likely America will cause world war three than avert it, Ben.)

UPDATED DEATH TOLL: 4,385 killed. 1,756 assumed to be children. 967 assumed to be women.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Israel has sent a warning out to hospital in Gaza Al-Quds, telling the people seeking refuge in there to evacuate so they can blow it up.

They have been bombing around the hospital for the last few days and now plan on taking it down completely.

12,000 people are there right now, it is their only place of shelter and safety, there are medical staff treating patients in need of medical aid, and the doctors refuse to leave.

this is inhumane, they are going to kill 12,000 people and this will not stop until gaza and palestine is wiped out completely.

So many babies and young children are there with their families. If you care about the hypothetical babies in the Hamas-Israel attack, you NEED to care about these.

We should not have to tell you that innocent babies and children are being killed for you to listen and realise that this is terrorism.

Do not listen when they tell you Hamas did it.

United States has donated $100 billion to Israel, backing this current attack and the many more to come.

United Kingdom's priminister Rishi Sunak has stated that the UK "stands with israel" and "are friends with Israel", and that he wants Israel "to win." (We do not stand with Israel, our stupid priminister does.)

There is no winner to a war that has more death than solution.

And there is no war if the other side cannot and does not fight back.

Gazan children are having to write their names on their hands to ensure that they can be identified after death. No child should be having to think or worry about death, let alone go through it.

This is genocide.

This is mass-murder.

This is terrorism.

This is dehumanisation.

This will not stop until Gaza and Palestine as a whole are nothing but Israeli land.

But we will not stay silent about this.

—————————————————

UPDATES: 24th October

23 reported masacres in the last hours of the 16th day of attacks, which caused a current total of 436 deaths, 182 of those were reported to have been children. These people were mainly from the South of Gaza, the place Gazans were told to relocate to by Israeli forces as it would be "safer."

TOTAL NUMBER OF VICTIMS:

5087 killed,

2055 children,

1119 women,

217 elderly,

a total of 15,273 injuries and 1,500 people including 830 kids have been reported missing under the rubble.

Severe burn injuries are being seen across Gaza, some including melting skin which they have never seen before, and in which is being proved hard to treat with the limited resources they have.

12 hospitals and 32 healthcare centres are unavailable due to targeting and lack of fuel.

Hospitals that are available have reached mass capacity and the medical teams are struggling to help those injured due to the lack of recourses and fuel.

130 premature babies lives are at risk, these babies are in incubators which run off of electricity, when Israel shuts this off (which they have been doing a lot recently) these babies will die as they will have no way to breathe and will therefore suffocate, if they can breathe on their own, loss of electrical function will cause the thermal system to fail and therefore the babies will die of hypothermia.

Day 16 was reported to have been the worst bombing Gaza has seen since the beginning (7th of October.)

The night sky was lit up red by Israeli bomb lights. (After having been a complete blackout at night since the 7th.)

This is only the reports for today, this is only going to get worse. As it is going, we unfortunately believe that this "war" will not stop until Gaza and the west bank are erased from the land completely.

Please keep talking about this, make posts, tell friends and family. Be Palestine's voice in a time when they cannot use theirs.

—————————————————

UPDATES: 26th October

Hospitals have made it to their full capacity and are now being reported as reaching their "total collapse" as result of the israeli airstrikes.

People in need of medical aid are being treated with whatever is left, patients are having to be seen to while laying on the ground and having their wounds and injuries seen to while under no anestesia.

Since October 7th: 5,791 people, including 65 medical staff, 2,360 children, 1,292 women and 295 elders have been killed, with 16,297 injuries. This only accounts for the ones that have been found and identified.

It has been said by the ministry spokesman, Ashraf al-Qudra that "children, women and elderly make up around 70% of the victims."

But that does not mean we disregard for the 30% of the Gazan men, and the rest of them that are working hard to find and help people in need, I unfortunately keep seeing men unaccounted for in these attacks due to fear and stereotypes. They deserve our attention too.

16 year old Muslim girl on a train in New York was attacked and discriminated against due to her religious beliefs.

When heading to Union square the girl sat down on the train, a man sitting next to her. The unidentified individual then told her "you're a terrorist, you don't belong here." Before pulling on her hijab.

The man ran away after another passenger intervened and tried to help.

There have been no arrests made at this time.

This is the impact of what is going on around the world. For so incredibly long Muslims and Arabs have had to fight the stereotypes that the Western media has written for them. May I remind you that no one person fits into a group of stereotypical values. No matter what ones religion or culture is, they are an individual with achievements, goals and dreams. Stop trying to generalise a group of people because you don't like what they stand for. It's pathetic.

I ask you to step away from Western media, when you come across it, ask yourself "what do they want me to think and what are they hiding from me?" Make your own judgments by doing your own research, do not follow the rest.

Accounts on various media platforms are being deleted for talking out about what is going on in Palestine and Gaza,

Instagram account "eye.on.palestine", one of the biggest Palestine news update accounts was recently deleted, luckily it is said to be restored soon enough.

But not all pages will have that outcome, they are trying to silence us because we know the truth.

So keep talking.

—————————————————

UPDATES: 27th October

Death toll in gaza reaches 6,747

Biden has stated he has "no notion if palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed" genocidal denialism at its best, not only that - he is straight up stating that their lives are much less valuable than anyone else's.

Palestinan officials have sent him a 212 page document on all the names, age, sex and official identification number in response.

281 of them are missing information as they have not identified them yet.

Schools in the West bank have been bombed by Israeli forces, once again - Hamas doesn't exist there, I beg you to tell me the reason to kill and scare innocent people, especially children.

Do not turn your back to the children of Palestine and then complain to me about the hypothetical children killed in Israel by Hamas.

Hamas have released some of their hostages, the hostages that were interviewed have stated that they were treated well and ate the same food as Hamas did, and received medical attention. They were kind to them and caused them no harm. It is reported that the current hostages released (at least a few of them) were given back due to needing medical aid that can only be given to them outside of Gaza.

I would also like to add, for the people who think they are hero's for speaking out about this issue, please shut up. The majority of the time this is white savour complex and I am tired. You are not a hero for doing the one thing you should be doing. Well done for doing it, but it doesn't mean you should be praised.

Also please stay respectful about what you post about Palestine, edits of the war are strange and using the genocide to promote your music is even weirder.

Stay safe out there.

Also for anyone who does not believe that Israel is the problem, I ask you to look into the issues with the West-bank Palestine, and how Israeli forces treat the people who live there even without Hamas (Whom are supposed to be the reason for this "war", right?)

Watch Joe Rogan's podcast interview with journalist Abby Martin, who talks about the month she spent in the West-bank, it's highly educational.

If you are Palestinian or Muslim, please stay safe and take care of yourself.

———————————————

EVERY CEASEFIRE NEGOTIATION SINCE OCTOBER 7TH 2023

October 9th, Hamas offered Israel an unspecified number of women and children to be released from gaza, in exchange of 36 Palestinian prisoners held captive in Israel. Israel denied.

October 16th, Hamas says they'd release all hostages in exchange for 6000 Palestinian captives. Israel denied.

October 17th, Hamas said they'd release all Israeli hostages if Israel stopped bombing gaza. Israel denied.

October 28th, all hostages for all Palestinian captives. Israel denied.

November 17th, all Israeli hostages for a 3 day ceasefire. Israel denied.

January 2nd, Hamas would release 40 hostages in order for Israel's gradual 3 day withdrawal from gaza, on the last day Israel would stop the war and give back all Palestinian captives. Israel denied.

January 22nd, Hamas would be in leadership of gaza, they would release all hostages in exchange for all Palestinian captives and the end of the war. Israel denied.

February 7th, all hostages from both sides and the end to the war. Israel denied.

March 15th, Hamas would release all elderly, children, women and sick captives held in gaza in exchange of 700-1000 Palestinian captives being held in Israel. Israel denied.

May 7th, Hamas offers all female hostages for 50 Palestinian hostages and an 11 day ceasefire before Israel finally dismantles all military structure from gaza and allows gaza to begin reconstruction. Israel denied.

it's never been about the hostages, Israel could've got them out 7 months ago if they really cared about them, they are a tool being weaponised to mask ethnic cleansing.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING CELEBRITIES, INFLUENCERS AND EDUCATION

I am so sick of people saying they are not educated enough to speak about this. 7 months. SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS. I cannot be nice about this anymore, I am tired, Palestine is tired, GAZA IS TIRED, we are all so fucking tired of this performative bullshit that everyone is spewing. I am so so sick of hearing that people cannot boycott Starbucks, that Mcdonald's is too good to stop eating, that Disney is important to them. SHUT THE FUCK UP. People are dying, they are being brutally murdered and you are crying about your fucking coffee??? GROW UP!!! This is life, you either grow with it or you don't. No one is asking you to sell your kidney for Palestine, but most of us would do it in a heartbeat.

For the celebrities and influencers, do not complain about not knowing enough when you've had 7 months to learn it, I was reciting "in 1947 the United Nations requested partition and separation of the Jewish and Arab states" in my dreams dude, I literally had a dream last week where someone offered me a Starbucks and I stood up shouting "BOYCOTT". This is what should be happening to everyone, it should be so drilled into your head that you think about it every waking moment. So trying to sit there and complain about your lack of understanding and education is a bunch of bullshit. Why be an influencer if you cannot influence??? 7 months to pick up a book, to listen to Palestinians who explain it to us for free on social media, to watch videos.

I saw a picture of a baby the other day, unlike normal I wasn't prepared for this, it wasn't censored and I had just woke up, it was on my Instagram feed, a young girl, not old enough to walk, I doubt she could even crawl, a small bow in her hair, a onesie, her ears pierced. A baby, someone's child, someone's entire life. half of her face and body was skinned, you could see her organs. While this baby was murdered in cold blood, Israeli's gathered at the Rafah border to celebrate the ground invasion. WHILE THIS CHILD WAS MURDERED.

If you are not angry, why the hell not? Our people are being killed, we may not be Palestinian, but we are all connected by humanity. So where is it when it comes to them? Why kill the people who cannot even fight back????

That land is not yours, it will never be yours. No matter what your bible says, God would never make you exchange a soul for soil.

————————————————

30TH MAY 2024

I struggle to find the right words when I write this, and this is now my third attempt. It is great to see people advocating for Gaza now after having seen the pictures, videos and media coming from Rafah. However I cannot hide my anger when it comes to the way people have done this. Posting an AI image which does not convey the atrocious actions Israel has and still is carrying out on Gaza and Palestine as a whole on your timeline on whatever social media you have, is peak performative activism. It is unfortunate that people have utilised this time now to post something so out of touch while we have actual images from Gaza relaying the terror, we have videos and quotes you can use, why share an AI image when you have gofundme's and families who you can advocate for during this time?

Another thing I would like to mention are the videos now coming out with people chanting for a ceasefire, but saying that it's "never too late". I will not reprimand you for not educating yourself on this situation prior, and I will say now that it is great that you are getting involved and helping out the best you can by spreading the message. However while you do this, please remember that for the last 8 months while evidence from Palestine has been circulating social media, you were turning away and swiping past - and therefore are complicit in genocide. Acknowledge your mistakes and ignorance while educating yourself and others going forward.

The more people involved, the more people we save. But it will not bring back 40,000 people who did not have to be killed.

And do not promote or hype up Piers Morgan, he is one of the main advocators for the genocide on Gaza since the 7th of October and the main reason people in the UK feel so comfortable with their hatred towards Palestinians and Pro-Palestinians. And still now he is on the wrong side of history when saying "Israel has the right to defend itself" - that proves that he knows nothing of the conflict even while he asks for a ceasefire.

————————————————

5th June 2024

I just saw a video of the IDF running over an already dead, or injured man with a bulldozer, they crushed his body. In the video you can see the soliders redirecting the vehicle to ensure the man is fully under. Whether that man was dead or not, will forever fail to take away the just reason of crushing his body under a bulldozer weighing approximately 62 tonnes. He was not a Hamas responder, he was a civilian wearing normal civilian clothing. He was someone’s someone, a crucial part of a family, a connection, and that was all taken away from him. I do not know what will be left of his remains, however I fear for his loved ones and for what parts of him they will find. He will not get a proper burial. His family may not even recognise him if or when they manage to find him. His life was stolen for the sake of land, land that belonged to him.

May his sweet soul rest in peace, and those of justice deal with the hardly-human soliders that killed him.

————————————————

12TH AUGUST 2024

Surviving family members of those killed in Gaza are being given liquidated body parts of unidentified bodies weighing the age of the victim they mention because there are no full bodies found in Al-Tabin SCHOOL where Israel struck yesterday.

“I told them my son Ali is 6, they gave me a plastic bag with 18 kilos of body parts & told me to bury it. I don't know if it's my son or not... We can't find his body anywhere"

- Hassan, a Gazan father sheltering at the

school bombed by Israel.

————————————————

30th September 2024

Documenting a genocide with words is something you’d feel you would never be made to do, not after everything we learnt in school about the atrocious acts of our history, and the silence the west responded to such things with.

But that’s what I wanted to talk about; the world’s silence and complicity, and how it has affected sane minds and reactions even to this day. During world war II, eight groups of our community were targeted wrongfully by the Nazi’s. Those were made up of the Roma’s, Disabled people, Poles and Slavs, communists and socialists, Jehovah’s witnesses, the LGBTQ+ community, afro-Germans, and most of all, the Jews.

We all know about the holocaust, it is one past time that the entire world feels rightfully guilty for, and so they teach us about it over and over again until we understand what happened and how it affected people. However, what we haven’t been taught is that now people are so held back by the guilt that they feel for their people not intervening, that now we are at such a crossroad where people refuse to question Zionism because of it.

You can have a Jewish state without colonialism, you can have a place of sanctuary without stealing from others and murdering them on their land. The west refuse to admit that Zionism is wrong, and that’s why what Israel are doing is barbaric.

Palestine. Lebanon, Yemen.

What is next?

Does it make you such a bad person to question the logic that goes behind using the religion of Judaism to violate laws and hurt those who have only the desire to live? Is it so wrong to say that it is not right for religion to hold such a power over a life, or many? And am I wrong for saying that people are so scared to question Zionism and Israel, because it means to question Judaism?

What logic is there in letting people steal land because a holy book that only exists as an ideology and has no harsh proof, said that they are owed it?

Free Palestine. Free Lebanon. Free Yemen.

My heart goes out to any and all victims, you deserve much better than the world has given you. Ameen.

I ask you to open your eyes to the truth.

Do not be on the wrong side of history.

Palestine needs our voices now more than ever.

Free Palestine until it's backwards 🇵🇸

What I'm actually furious about, isn't just the anti-Semitism I've dealt with here.

What I'm furious at is the Israeli government and military. I am furious that they have the nerve to perpetrate war crimes while appropriating the memory of the 6 million. It makes me sick. It feels me with rage. It fills me with feelings of betrayal (those are complex and require deconstruction, discussed briefly below). How dare they massacre children, civilians, and fucking hospital patients; and how dare they do so while using the 6 million as a rhetorical shield?

The edgelord who left me a snide remark comparing the situation in Gaza to the Warsaw Ghetto wasn't the first person to make that comparison to me. It was actually the Palestinian woman who translated two major sources from Hebrew into English for me.

She was translating a biography of Tossia Altman when her three nephews and sister-in-law were murdered during the IDF action in Gaza. I asked her if she wanted to stop working on the project (with no impact on her fee for the project, of course; that's where about $4000 of the money y'all helped me raise went, fyi). The brand of Zionism practiced by Tossia and her comrades is very very different from the version embodied in Netanyahu, and it was those schools of Zionism which mostly died in the Holocaust (I said), but I would completely understand if the material was too triggering for her.

She said "I’m not sure about this triggering me, I think holocaust survivors and Gazans are on the same boat to tell you the truth. It could be an opportunity for me to actually fathom the full picture, in a way." And I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

I'm not going to post the rest of our conversation here, for what I hope are obvious reasons. And for concerned parties, this woman has been living away from Gaza for a very long time.

But this is why I'm so angry and emotional.

And I'm over here having these, frankly, very painful, personal feelings (if my posts over the last 4 months haven't made it clear, I spent my teen years in an extremely manipulative right wing Israel "education" program, and was raised surrounded by first and secondhand Holocaust trauma which inevitably impacted how my elders educated me about The Conflict none of which I was fully able to deconstruct until I became a Holocaust Historian in grad school). Especially with my knowledge of how SHITTILY Holocaust survivors were treated when they got to Palestine in the mid-1940s; of how fucking disgracefully Yad Vashem treated Rachel Auerbach and Yitzhak Zuckerman. Of the way the Jewish fighters actually died in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. I became a Holocaust historian because I am the great/granddaughter of survivors and I do this work because it's a fucking calling, not something that brings me joy. And the goddamn Israeli government, the government of a nation which likes to say it exists for all Jews (when it barely even represents the Jews who live there but that's a different conversation); the way that government manipulates and misuses that history to excuse their actions in Gaza make me fucking sick. And, as demonstrated by some of you actual fucking pieces of shit, puts Diasporic Jews in danger. (side thought: Does Netanyahu WANT to put Diasporic Jews in danger?? He knows how this fucking shit works, and I wouldn't be surprised if he WANTED Jews to feel deeply unsafe and respond to that by fleeing to Israel).

And WHILE I'm experiencing all of this and trying to keep it all together while writing the what may be the most important thing I've ever written in my career, you fucking [word I don't use out loud or in writing] come in here and to throw your anti-Semitic bullshit at me when I ask you to please not spew it at me via my (year old) fucking Holocaust Remembrance Day posts, and when I ask you to be fucking mindful of it in your political speech.

So let me make it fucking clear, as far as I am concerned there are 4 separate conversations at play rn.

1) October 7 was horrific, genocidal, and traumatizing for Jews on a global basis.

2) Israel is committing heinous war crimes in Gaza right now which, if its own military's statements are anything to go by, are actively genocidal.

3) You shouldn’t harass random Jewish people because you’re disgusted with Israeli governmental and military decisions and actions.

4) The Israeli government’s appropriation of Holocaust memory within its larger state building project doesn’t give you [collective: non-Jews] the right to abuse Jews for discussing and generally having feelings about the Holocaust.

And FRANKLY I think all those conversations are accurate and valid. I also don't think I'm obligated to tear my heart open give you all my intimate feelings because a bunch of pieces of shit on this site can't grasp points 3 and 4.

So fuck that right wing program I belonged to as a teen, fuck you fucking left wing anti-Semites who can's grasp that you're touting the ideologies of people who would have wanted you dead, and fuck the Israeli government for committing war crimes. fuck them for their ongoing abuse of palestinian civil and human rights, and fuck them for invoking the memory of the 6million while doing it.

I've fucking had it with that fucking State, I've had it with you goddamn Jew-haters, and I've had it with the Jewish ppl who might want to destroy my career upon seeing this post.

I am mad as HELL.

I'm not even saying my mental health break is over. I've just had a moment of clarity, my period is over, and I'm pissed as hell. i'm tired of policing myself to make the gentiles who hate me comfortable; and I'm tired of policing myself to make my coreligionists who'd destroy me for having these thoughts comfortable. and there are 122,000 if you, so i don't care if you're so fucking fragile that this post makes you hit the unfollow button.

tl;dr:

Please share and help stop propaganda and educate people.

I was born to hate jews. By Kaseem Hafiz

It was part of my life. I never questioned that. I was not born in Iran or Syria. I was born in England. My parents moved there from Pakistan. Theirs was the typical immigrant story: Move to the West hoping to create a better life for themselves and their children.

We were a devoted Muslim family, but not extremists or radicals in any way. We only wanted the best for everyone - everyone except the Jews. The Jews, we thought, were aliens living in stolen Muslim land, occupiers involved in a genocide against the Palestinian people. Our hatred was therefore justified and just. And it left me and my friends vulnerable to radical extremist arguments. If the Jews were as evil as we've always believed, shouldn't those who support them - Christians, Americans and others in the West - be just as evil?

All of this had its desired effect. At least it did on me. It changed the way I looked at the world. I began to look at the suffering of Muslims, including in Britain, as the fault of Western imperialism. The west was at war with us, and the Jews controlled the west. My experience at the university in the UK only reinforced my increasingly radical conviction. Hating Israel was a badge of honor. Set up an anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rally, and you were sure to attract a huge, approver

While in uni, I decided that the protests and propaganda against Israel were not enough. Real jihad requires violence. So I made plans to join the real fight. I want to drop out of college and join terrorist training camp in Pakistan. But, fortunately for me, fate intervened - in a bookstore.

I came across a book called The Case for Israel by Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. The case for Israel? Which case could that be? The title itself infuriated me, and I started reading the pages almost like a travesty. How ill-informed, how stupid, can this guy be to defend the defenseless? Well, he was a Jew. That must have been the answer

👉Still I am reading. And what I read challenged all my dogmas about Israel and the Jews: I read that it was not Israel who created the Palestinian refugee crisis, it was the Arab countries, the UN and the corrupt Palestinian leadership. I read that Jews did not exploit the Holocaust to create the state of Israel; the movement to create a modern Jewish state dating back to the 19th. century, and eventually to the beginning of the Jewish people almost 4000 years ago. And I read that Israel is not engaged in genocide against the Palestinians. On the contrary, the Palestinian population has actually doubled in just twenty years.

👉What I saw with my own eyes was even more challenging than what Dershowitz had written. Instead of apartheid I saw Muslims, Christians and Jews coexisting. Instead of hate, I saw acceptance, even compassion. I saw a violent, modern, liberal democracy, full of flaws, for sure, but fundamentally decent. I saw a country that wanted nothing but to live in peace with its neighbors. I watched my hate melt before my eyes. I knew just then what I had to do.

Too many people on this planet are consumed by the same hate that consumed me. They have been taught to despise the Jewish state - many Muslims through their religion, many others by their university professors or student groups.

So here's my challenge to anyone who feels this way: do what I did - seek the truth for yourself. If the truth can change me, it can change anyone.

I am Kasim Hafeez from Prager University.

Peel commision two state solution 1937

two state solution offered where the jews get jerusalem (their historical capital) and coastline and farmlands.

the arabs reject it because they were alloted “the negev desert, which is poor for farming and sparsely populated”.

the jews agreed to this solution. the arabs rejected it.

The first proposal for the creation of Jewish and Arab states in the British Mandate of Palestine was made in the Peel Commission report of 1937, with the Mandate continuing to cover only a small area containing Jerusalem. The plan allotted the poorest lands of Palestine, including the Negev Desert, and areas that are known today as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the Arabs; while most of the coastline and some of Palestine's most fertile agricultural land in the Galilee were allotted to the Jews.[16] Consequently, the recommended partition proposal was rejected by the Arab community of Palestine, and was accepted by most of the Jewish leadership.[17][18]

——

UN two state solution 1948

a two state solution is then offered where the arabs get the good farmlands, get to surround jerusalem (jewish historical capital). the jews in this solution get the “the negev desert, which is poor for farming and sparsely populated”.

the jews agreed to this solution, despite getting the short end of the stick, despite not getting their capital.

the arabs argued “we are 2/3 of the population, so we should get more land, including the desert” the desert that they didnt want before and rejected the previous two state solution based on.

The proposed plan is considered to have been pro-Zionist by its detractors, with 62% of the land (mainly the sparsely populated Negev desert) allocated to the Jewish state despite the Palestinian Arab population numbering twice the Jewish population.[6] Consequently, the partition plan was accepted by Jewish Agency for Palestine and most Zionist factions.[7][5] The Arab Higher Committee, the Arab League and other Arab leaders and governments rejected it on the basis that in addition to the Arabs forming a two-thirds majority, they owned a majority of the lands.[8][9]

——-

the palestinians not only rejected the solution where they got the best land, they then proceeded to attack the jews (like they had been doing forever, since before when they had a small native jewish population and treated them as second class citizens, since before when jewish immigrants legally bought land that was for sale, since jews started living in the barren land that was given to them after ww2)

so the palestinians attacked and then so did the 5 surrounding arab nations. they all attacked israel

and so israel fights back.

and what do u do when youre attacked by people who have been violent to you since the start? do you defeat them and then say “ok that was funny, have fun being my neighbor now, bye!”

no. you dont. if a murderer comes into your house with a gang trying to kill you, you dont just kick them out of your house, YOU BUILD A FENCE.

i genuinely dont understand what these people want israel to do. just sit there and let palestinans rain rockets down onto them from the hilltops to the north?

or do they expect israel to give up ALL their land like the palestinians demand. that the jews leave their native homeland once again, maybe the 30th time in the last 4000 years.(of course some jews still stay tho, and get persecuted)

israel already is a nation of equality and equal rights. the only reason the palestinians are not allowed free crossing into and out of israel IS BECAUSE THEY KEEP TERRORIZING PEOPLE they keep shooting, killing, bombing, stabbing, raping, etc.

if that happened to you youd build a wall too!!!

also lets not forget, the jews took that barren desert, those malaria infested swamplands that the arabs rejects in the first solution, and gave to the jews in the second solution. the jews took those lands and revitalized them, made huge human advancements in water purification technology, invented drip irrigation, invented desalination, and built the land up for their people

meanwhile the palestinians take their land and instead of putting money into infrastructure and education, they put ALL their aid money into weapons, terror tunnels, rockets, etc.

there would be peace if palestine would accept that the jews have the right to some of the land as well. and that it can be shared. if they stopped attacking, israel wouldnt have to have the walls and the patrols and the firing BACK. and the search for the rocket sources etc

israel has agreed to every single ceasefire, palestine has broken every single one

israel has agreed to every single two state solution, palestine has rejected every single one

israel gives extra land to palestine asking for peace, palestine responds by sending rockets.

for you guys to not know any of this history, and to parrot the slogans made by a bloodthirsty anti-semetic peoples is insane to me. its literally the modern day equivalent of nazis. this confirms my previous thought that most people on this site would have fallen for nazi propaganda and joined the fight against the “evil jews”.

like palestine has spread and created the most antisemetic nazi rhetoric since BEFORE there were nazis (reminder some palestinian and arab leaders were FRIENDS with nazis leaders)

what is Love?

most people desire human love and affection. we were created this way for relationship.

but Love is actually our Creator’s very presence. it is the very atmosphere of Heaven. there is a holiness to Love. and Love reaches out to us in Spirit

(God is Love)

although some refuse to communicate. some choose not to read, to renew the mind in spiritual truth and to pray as a child to our heavenly Father

people have been given the invitation to read (and believe) the revelation given in the Scriptures about the Son (Yeshua) who came to earth to be rejected by Israel and die as a pure “Seed” 4000 years after Adam’s sin in the garden when death’s curse was introduced to the world.

And it has been just about 2000 years since Yeshua became the 2nd (last) Adam to redeem us from spiritual death through sacred Blood on the cross, reversing the curse, healing the human heart (spirit) by an act of rebirth. we stand at a significant place in History which could be as close as 7 years away from marking 2000 years since the cross, with the estimation of 30AD (40 years before the destruction of the 2nd Temple by the Romans in 70AD)

yes, the Spirit of our Creator is here on earth with us and He is silent and invisible, yet Yeshua the Messiah is YHVH (God’s revealed name) come in the flesh as a Man. He is I Am.

And for this claim some religious Jews wanted to kill Him under the charge of blasphemy, which they did by rejecting their Messiah

and so began the time of the Gentiles being gathered in as a global Church Body ever since, prepared as the Bride and the Spirit’s Temple

some have died (fallen asleep) in the meantime, yet we are very close to (A secret elopement) when we in faith who are alive and ready will be transformed in body to meet the Lord in the air (A trumpet’s calling and the voice of a heavenly messenger will announce His arrival, the arrival of our eternal King to take us to the place prepared for us)

and there will be an awakening of Israel to see their True Messiah (even though some for a time will fall under the deception of a false messiah) since God is bringing Together One New Man (Jew and Gentile) under the new covenant

Yes, God is our heavenly Father and seen as a Man. God created the first earthly man Adam in His image and God created the first woman as a beautiful mystery, taken right from Adam’s own body, given the name Eve. our Creator made the Family structure of a man & woman (a lifelong marriage covenant) who care for their children. God’s Love is whole in Himself (God is One) although He is known to us as Father, Spirit & Son. and so we can see God’s care of us, as children of Light (daughters & sons) as Paternal in nature, but also with Maternal aspects as well, the way both an earthly father & mother (as a unit, as “One” body) care for their own children. this is God’s orchestration that began as a “genesis” seed on garden earth. and as children reborn we will see the rebirth of earth itself in A grand end of time to restore the Genesis design

(the eternal tapestry)

A post by John Parsons about God’s sacred name:

the world ruled by man may seem like a crazy and anxious place to be in with so much corruption and so many lies, but we have to see where it is all headed. our heavenly King is returning to earth to rule from Jerusalem and will overthrow the kingdoms and governments that people have made, overturning all past attempts at others ruling the world apart from God’s truth.

yes, people have done and built amazing things on earth ever since the decimation of the global Flood. people dream and build beautiful architecture that have become earth’s many cities filled with activity. but there has been much tragedy as well. not all walk in Love. and walking in Love includes the ability to forgive others and to keep moving on with life and in hope.

Love is pure and Love is Light. and Love is also Justice who will make things right, eventually.

we either welcome Love’s grace or reject it. we have to replace human pride with humility of heart and mind and body since we have a heavenly King who is over all.

we’re not meant to adulterate what began as pure in True nature.

but even in our fallen state, we can choose to be reborn (inside, Anew)

Muhammad the warmonger - the earliest mentions of Muhammad in contemporary non-Muslim sources (20 years within his death 632 ce) describe Muhammad and his followers as slaughterers of disbeliever Jews Christians Samaritans Pagans and that Muhammad ordered his followers to wage war for Allah via /r/atheism

Muhammad the warmonger - the earliest mentions of Muhammad in contemporary non-Muslim sources (20 years within his death, 632 ce) describe Muhammad and his followers as slaughterers of disbeliever Jews, Christians, Samaritans, Pagans and that Muhammad ordered his followers to wage war for Allah Doctrina Jacobi (634 CE): I inquired about the Prophet: ' What can you tell me about the Prophet who has appeared with the Arabs?' ... [His followers say] that he has the keys of paradise, which is incredible... They have come with the sword. Syria fragment (637 CE): and many towns were destroyed in the slaughter by the followers of Muhammad... the Romans and many people were killed, from the Romans about fifty thousand ... Sophronius (639 CE): Why are the troops of the Saracens (Arabs) attacking us? Why has there been so much destruction and plunder? Why are there incessant outpourings of human blood? Why have churches been pulled down? Why is the cross mocked? ... [they boast about] adding victory to victory. We see here the Saracens (Arabs) are described as mocking the cross (so, Muslim Arabs), and boasting about how they are gaining victory after victory. Thomas the Presbyter (640 CE): there was a battle between the Romans and the Arabs of Muhammad in Palestine twelve miles east of Gaza. The Romans ran away... Some 4000 poor villagers of Palestine were killed there, Christians, Jews and Samaritans. The Arabs ravaged the whole region. Sebeos' History of Armenia, (650s CE): At that time a certain man from among those same sons of Ishmael whose name was Mehmed (Armenian pronunciation of Muhammad), as if by God’s command appeared to them as a preacher on the path of truth. He taught them to recognize the God of Abraham... Now because the command was from on high, at a single order they all came together in unity of religion. Abandoning their vain cults, they turned to the living God who had appeared to their father Abraham. So Muhammad legislated for them: not to eat carrion, not to drink wine, not to speak falsely, and not to engage in fornication. He said: “With an oath God promised this land to Abraham and his seed after him for ever. And he brought about as he promised during that time while he loved Israel. But now you are the sons of Abraham, and God is accomplishing his promise to Abraham and his seed for you. Love sincerely only the God of Abraham. No one will be able to resist you in battle, because God is with you.” Source: Seeing Islam as Others Saw It , Robert G.

this is one of the most disgustingly bad faith posts i've seen in a while so let's break it down.

first and foremost it's both funny and incredibly embarrassing that you've deliberately skirted around the real reason noah schnapp has caused such uproar: he promoted stickers bearing the phrase "zionism is sexy". there is quite literally nothing more insidious than a rich, white, american celebrity giggling over an ideology that has brought about the deaths of thousands of palestinians. absolutely nothing about zionism is "perfectly reasonable, decent or educated." zionism is inherently evil, and you don't have to take my word for it. this piece, titled "why i am an anti-zionist jew", was published in august 2014, and explains exactly why the zionist school of thought is so destructive.

now let's address your insane claim that we cannot trust the accuracy of the palestinian death toll.

“Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.” Shakir said Human Rights Watch would not use figures provided by parties with “a propensity to misrepresent information.” (x)

the gaza health ministry has consistently reported accurate figures in line with the UN and other human rights organisations — to try and dismiss their numbers in any way is a futile attempt at dehumanisation. i do find it interesting that you've supplied zero sources for the deaths you're blaming on a lack of distinguishing between "hamas militants and civilians." even granting you the benefit of the doubt on such an absurd statement, over 4000 of the deaths have been children. were those children hamas militants?

onto your pathetic insistence that what israel is doing somehow isn't genocide because "only 11,000" palestinians have been murdered.

from raz segal, an israeli professor of holocaust and genocide studies:

Israel’s campaign to displace Gazans—and potentially expel them altogether into Egypt—is yet another chapter in the Nakba, in which an estimated 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes during the 1948 war that led to the creation of the State of Israel. But the assault on Gaza can also be understood in other terms: as a textbook case of genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. Under international law, the crime of genocide is defined by “the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such,” as noted in the December 1948 UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. In its murderous attack on Gaza, Israel has loudly proclaimed this intent. Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant declared it in no uncertain terms on October 9th: “We are imposing a complete siege on Gaza. No electricity, no food, no water, no fuel. Everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we will act accordingly.” The UN Genocide Convention lists five acts that fall under its definition. Israel is currently perpetrating three of these in Gaza: “1. Killing members of the group. 2. Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group. 3. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” The Israeli Air Force, by its own account, has so far dropped more than 6,000 bombs on Gaza, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the world—almost as many bombs as the US dropped on all of Afghanistan during record-breaking years of its war there. Human Rights Watch has confirmed that the weapons used included phosphorous bombs, which set fire to bodies and buildings, creating flames that aren’t extinguished on contact with water.

this is an actual genocide, as much as you'd like to deny it. just today, israel raided al-shifa, gaza's largest hospital, claiming it was being used as a "hamas base" with absolutely zero evidence. just as expected, they found zero hamas militants. here's what actually occurred.

finally, let's return to noah schnapp and "the things that people have tried to cancel him for."

Traveling to Israel (a completely normal thing)

noah went to israel on a birthright trip, which are tools of the israeli government carefully constructed to present an imaginary, propagandised portrayal of israel, to erase the existence of palestinian life, and to shore up support for israel’s occupation, apartheid and denial of the right of palestinian refugees to return

Having Israeli friends (another completely normal thing)

the friends in question being the ones by his side promoting the "zionism is sexy" stickers, hence why people are upset

Condemning Hamas' horrible attack on October 7th (the decent thing to do)

condemning october 7th without acknowledging the nakba, the 1948 mass displacement and dispossession of roughly 700,000 palestinians, without acknowledging the 75 years of israel's regime of racial domination and oppression over the palestinian people, is nothing more than an empty condemnation devoid of context and empathy

Posting a statement saying he feels unsafe as a Jewish person in the US (which, given the rise of antisemitic acts in the world, including the US, including where he lives and where he studies, is a valid feeling to have)

noah schnapp's statement also included the sentence "You either stand with Israel or you stand with terrorism." positioning israel's ethnic cleansing of palestine's population of 2.2 million as anti-terrorism is rooted in islamophobia.

Signing a letter, along with Shawn Levy, Brett Gelman, Ross Duffer and I think Cara Buono, asking Biden to press for the liberation of every hostage by Hamas. This especially shows the utter ignorance of the cancellers because, as it turns out, caring about every hostage implies a slowdown of IDF's actions (and, at the time, a delay of a ground invasion).

the letter you are referring to was an expression of gratitude for biden's deplorable allyship with israel. it thanked him for his "support" of the israeli state. biden pledged $14 billion in aid to israel, specifically to bolster a military that is committing genocide. moreover, the hostages you're wringing your hands over were rejected by israel. anyone who cares about innocent lives being lost would be staunchly calling for a ceasefire — something biden's administration, noah schnapp, and deeply zionist brett gelman have refused to do.

Supporting the existence and preservation of the state of Israel (once again, a completely normal thing). The fact that people are turning against him for these things says to me that the real reason you are all hating Noah is beacuse: He's Jewish. Like, really really Jewish.

supporting the existence and preservation of the state of israel is not a completely normal thing. supporting zionism is an ideology rooted in settler-colonial violence. from jewish voice for peace:

conflating judaism with zionism is the exact narrative israel wants to push. there is a reason thousands of jewish people across the globe are demanding a ceasefire and protesting against zionism. there is a reason people from all faiths have been attending pro-palestine rallies. there is a reason that zionists are scrambling to accuse every palestinian supporter as an anti-semite, when that couldn't be further from the truth.

at the end of the day, noah schnapp is going to be fine. he's a teenage millionaire living in america. but the zionist sentiments he has continued to express to his massive audience will result in more islamophobia, more dehumanisation of palestinians, and more genocide denial. ask yourself if you truly want to align yourself with those on the side of the oppressor. is defending noah schnapp really the hill you want to die on?

This was a reply to someone else, but I'm making this its own post because so many people are being so evil right now re: Noah Schnapp.

You can find other, longer explanations with history and all, but all the places I've seen more or less agree with this:

So you're all calling people to cancel Noah because he's in favor of a Jewish nation in what is today Israel. Which is a perfectly reasonable, decent and educated opinion to have, especially when you, to use a trendy term, "educate yourself" and find out why the state of Israel was created.

11000 dead Palestinians, half of them children

According to Hamas. Don't forget that, ever. They're the current, official government of Gaza, thus they're the ones who give numbers. This means that the real number could be 10, 1 million, anything in between. What I've read is that they probably give more of less accurate total numbers. What they fail to do, however, is distinguish between Hamas militants and civilians, and beteween civilians killed by IDF strikes, civilians killed by failed Hamas or Palestininan Islamic Jihad's rockets (which happens a lot), and Palestinians murdered by Hamas/PIJ (which also happens, a whole damn lot). They also don't specify how many civilians they have prevented or tried to prevent from evacuating or receiving aid.

11k dead people is a horrible number. Even 1 dead person is a horrible number. However, urban warfare in such a densely populated area is its own kind of hell, especially when the other side is fond of using civilians as human shields in every way possible. The fact that the number is 11k and not 50k, 100k, and so on, indicates that the IDF have indeed done a lot to minimize deaths. You don't genocide people by doing roof knocks, opening evacuation lines, dropping guided bombs, putting up an Iron Dome to deal with rockets while avoiding escalation, etc. simply because actual genocide, while a lot worse, is also cheaper, easier and faster than what they're doing. This is important because caling every act of war genocide dilutes the word, and there are actual genocides happening around the world. Also, there is a difference between striking military targets and causing civilian deaths as a side effect (what the IDF is doing) and planning and carrying out a massacre deliberately targeting civilians and inflicting as much pain and humilliation as possible on them. And there is a difference between doing so by breaking a ceasefire (which is what Hamas did), and defending your country because if you don't do that a terrorist group will anhilate you (which is what the IDF is doing).

Back to Noah. So far, these are the things that people have tried to cancel him for:

Traveling to Israel (a completely normal thing)

Having Israeli friends (another completely normal thing)

Condemning Hamas' horrible attack on October 7th (the decent thing to do)

He's Jewish. Like, really really Jewish.

And the fact that this all comes from a place of antisemitism isn't hidden at all: I've seen y'all on here, on Twitter, Reddit, every other social media calling him slurs (such as "cunt"), censoring his name, pretending he's not part of the cast, asking the Duffers/Netflix to fire him, wishing him failure, doxxing him, calling on his classmates to physically assault him, etc. He doesn't need to educate himself: you guys are already teaching him a great lesson on why a Jewish state is necessary. If that's the treament he gets from his own "fans", what can he expect from the world at large?

Israel is an example of a minority group overcoming discrimination by arab states those palestinians left gambling on the idea that they would return to a land free of jews , they thought wrong maybe you'd be less mad if this minority group wasn't white adjacent and western affiliated

"israel is an example of minority group overcoming discrimination by Arab state"

LMAO what kind of clown revisionism crap is that? Jews for most of their history have been discriminated, brutalized and genocided by.....WHITE EUROPEANS. I'll never understand how Zionist Jews flaunt belonging to a "4000 years old civilization" but are struck by Alzheimer's when it comes to acknowledge that their biggest oppressor throughout their most recent history have been White/not Arab, and that they've been kicked out of European countries FOR CENTURIES by some same western countries people like you are shilling their proximity from to milk some wack "you hate jews bc they're close to whiteness uwu". Deranged.

Aren't Jews hellbent saying they're not White anyway ? So why are you shoe horning their proximity to whiteness to claim some snowflake oppression complex?

I will never understand how Zionist are willing to give pass to all the European countries that actually oppressed Jews, only to accuse every Arab person of hating Jews when their cardinal crime was to.....not give away part of their land for a foreign settler project called "Zionism"?? The cognitive dissonance is staggering.

And Jewish people aren't a minority group in ISRAEL, genius. wth are you talking about? Their experience has nothing to do with diasporic Jews spread accross the world. Or do you see Palestinians being bombed and see a "discriminated minority group" because diasporic Palestinians are also a minority too? or you're just a racist who's only willing to extend your grace to a few chosen people ? (pun intended)

Israel lost the last shred of benevolence it has left the few weeks after October 7, and it can only blame itself. Not the Arabs, or some anti white (proximity) oppression. Get real.

I'm no friend to Muslim Arab country but if anything they've shown a lot of patience and resilience before Israel provocations and brute force. Jewish brag about their sense of fellowship but just you wait before the Arab umma strikes back for good and bites Israel butt.

If anything, the only people being mad are people like you popping on randos inbox preaching your zionist propaganda because you know you're losing. You lost the cultural war. You guys got so desperate you spread the fake news it was bots but nope, the world is really that tired of you lol.

Israel will never win. Isral never managed to eradicate Hamas and never will. Israel was supposed to ve a haven for Jews around the world and yet it didn't stop October from happening 7. The Zionist project is inherently flawed because establishing a Jewish state de facto puts Jews at a bigger danger for "anti jew" attacks. For alleged "God chosen people" there's something very ironic with them unable to conquer a strip of land with people not even having an army to put up against them. I'm Christian and I can't help connecting the dots but hey, Jews have been unable to recognize Jesus as the Messiah so it's not like they were the most sensible people to prophetic clues ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Israel gambled on the idea that the world would let them do anything they was in Gaza by pulling out the antisemitism card. It's not working anymore. The whole world sides with Palestine. It would've been unthinkable to see "Fuck Israel" trending a year ago. YOU did it. So congratulations for playing yourself.

It's not their homeland though. It wasn't theirs to begin with.

Yes it was, they're pretty much all that's left of the Canaanites.

Archeological evidence going back thousands of years places them there.

Digs in the northern territories found a layer they date back around 4000 or more years where one particular area just stopped consuming pork and there's other things that start to stick out in there too.

Written references going back into ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Assyria all exist and actually back up the books of 1&2 Kings and 1&2 Chronicles, more the 2nd books of each but still.

That is unless you're referencing the nazi talking point about European Jews not being real Jews.

At which point you might reconsider your position. Since DNA proves that one wrong.

For populations of the Jewish diaspora, the genetic composition of Ashkenazi, Sephardi, and Mizrahi Jewish populations show significant amounts of shared Middle Eastern ancestry. According to geneticist Doron Behar and colleagues (2010), this is "consistent with a historical formulation of the Jewish people as descending from ancient Hebrew and Israelites of the Levant" and "the dispersion of the people of ancient Israel throughout the Old World". ________________

Citing autosomal DNA studies, Nicholas Wade estimates that "Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews have roughly 30 percent European ancestry, with most of the rest from the Middle East." He further noticed that "The two communities seem very similar to each other genetically, which is unexpected because they have been separated for so long." Concerning this relationship he points to Atzmon's conclusions that "the shared genetic elements suggest that members of any Jewish community are related to one another as closely as are fourth or fifth cousins in a large population, which is about 10 times higher than the relationship between two people chosen at random off the streets of New York City". ____

There's all that, and the shared culture they have even though they were separated in diaspora for as long as they were.

It's their homeland they are indigenous to the area, their faith is indigenous to the area, historical records, archeological finds, and genetics all prove that.

Can the Bible be Trusted even though it was written by Men?

I find the hardest reason to share the gospel with people in this generation in which we are living is because many people don’t believe in the accuracy of the Bible. Many will say it’s been written by men. So I’m going to share why I believe the Bible and know that the Bible is not only accurate but is God’s Word to us.

The men that wrote it has earned my trust. Most of these men suffered for giving us the message written in Scripture. Most of them died for it. Torturous deaths. Why would they die like that for this message? What have they seen that made it worth dying for? What did they experience? Answer: They experienced the real true God of heaven and earth. They knew the truth because God showed them the truth. So when people say the Bible was written by men, I have decided to trust the men that suffered to give us the Lord’s message. Resource: Foxes book of martyrs By: John Fox and The Case for Christ by: Lee Strobel

Israel. When you study the history of Israel, whether through the Bible or secular history, you will find God’s promises coming to pass over and over. Whether it’s good or bad. Our God that created heaven and earth and us for that matter made His self known through Israel and the Jewish people. If you want to know what God is doing, look at Israel. Studying this subject has been the most exciting adventure of my life. I will be doing future articles talking about Israel and the true miracle of it’s existence.

Prophecy. The Bible is full of prophecies. Many of them have already been fulfilled. And many are being fulfilled as I write this article. (May 2021) I remember being a little girl back in the late 80s. My mom and I were discussing how the Antichrist will be able to track everyone on the planet. How every eye will see an event happening in real time at the same time. It was totally mind baffling back then. Now over 30 years later, there is no question how this could happen. I wish my mom was here to see what I see. She also said to me “Heather, when you start hearing about Israel a lot on the news, you know the end is near.” Oh how I treasure her words today. Bible prophecy is coming to pass at a rapid speed. Why all of a sudden you may ask after thousands of years? Jesus told us, when the fig leaves are blossomed you know summer is near. Matthew 24. Israel is back. 73 years now. Israel is the fig tree. It’s time for the return of our Lord❤️

I have a huge book of information that shows what has been found in archeological digs in Israel. (It’s called Zondervan Handbook of Biblical Archaeology by Randall Price with Wayne House.) Archeologists are always in constant pursuit to find the many pieces of treasures that point to places and people of the Bible. I will share in future blogs some amazing finds! Same for scientific evidence. (One reference is Scientific Facts In The Bible by Ray Comfort.) Science has not proven the Bible wrong. The Bible told us things concerning our universe way before a scientist ever did. Like the earth being round (Isaiah 40:22) and hanging on nothing (Job 26:7). We know many things from the Bible that scientists are now learning and seeing through their microscopes and telescopes today. Historical evidence also proves the Bible to be true. The book of Daniel is very exciting to read when it comes to historic world empires and events. I encourage you to take a deep dive in all of the above heaps of evidence. It will change the way you see everything and the way you think about your life and the world you live in.

The religious Jews protected the Scriptures. Before a scribe can even begin to start copying a manuscript or a scroll of the Torah, he must learn 4000 laws that will ensure no mistakes and to honor every Word written. If you’re interested in learning more about how the Words of the Bible was preserved, I encourage you to go to iSOW.org and take the History of the Bible course. I will also write more on this subject in future articles.

My heart. My testimony. My story is a long one with lots of twist and turns. However, when I look back over my life, the Word of God was always staring me right in the face the whole time. Then one day I finally started to dig deeper into what was in the Scriptures. Then my life started to make perfect sense. No more confusion. I knew my purpose. I now know where I came from. Why I’m here. Who I am. And whose I am. And where I’m going after I die. I know what I need and don’t need. What direction to take. How to make decisions. I now know why every thing I did on my own didn’t work out. How to live my life from here on out. That’s why I’m starting to write these articles, hoping I can reach someone, anyone, with the gospel of Jesus. This is where our hope is. Every answer to life’s questions. Our salvation. I’m just a nobody, trying to tell everybody, all about somebody who saved my soul. ❤️ if you don’t know the song, listen to it. Nobody by Casting Crowns.

The Bible has changed a lot of lives. I’ve heard a lot of testimonies. Amazing stories of the Lord through His Holy Spirit reaching down in someone’s heart and drawing them to Him self and changing everything. Rescuing them from addictions and toxic relationships. Toxic thinking. Jesus brings us clarity and direction. Am I saying life becomes perfect? NO. If anything, giving your life to Jesus and following Him sets us up to be hated and rejected. For some it has caused severe persecution, imprisonment and even death. But with anyone that truly has accepted the gospel and has given their life to Christ, because we know that forgiveness from our sins is only found in Him, and He’s our Savior, we know it’s all worth it. For in Him is eternal life!

The devil hates the Word of God. If you really take a look at the hate some have for God’s Word, the Jews, and Christians, you will see it’s such a unreasonable hate that it can only be supernatural and demonic. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy. He has blinded many to the truth. Many people see God as responsible for all the evil in this world. We have to understand that satan is the god of this world. He will do whatever it takes to keep people from seeing the truth spoken of in God’s Word. Jesus came to set us free from the bondage of sin and the destruction it causes. I’ve heard people say if there is a God, why did He let the Holocaust happen? The answer is, That was satan’s doing. Not God. Satan knew that according to bible prophecy, Israel will become a nation again by the supernatural hand of God. Because He promised it. Satan wanted to kill every Jew so there would be no Israel. He failed. We are in a war folks. Between good and evil. I’m here to tell you to pick the right side. The side that leads to life. Eternal life.

Faithfully His,

Heather Hoffman

Hello, Kabane. My previous question about Masoretic x Seputaginta was only concerned with the chronological difference between the two texts. The Jews falsified the timeline in order to make Melchizedek the Noah's son, Shem. Are you familiar with the documentary on YouTube called "Were the Pyramids Built Before the Flood? (Masoretic Text vs. Original Hebrew)"? Thank you.

As to the question of the pyramids, while advocates of the LXX take for granted that this is a knockdown, what they miss is that this is predicated on the accuracy of the conventional chronology for the Egyptian dynasties. This conventional chronology is deeply problematic for many reasons. Biblically speaking, if the conventional chronology is correct, the exodus did not happen. According to Exodus, two million slaves- possibly the majority of their workforce- disappeared at once. Fire had fallen from the sky and slaughtered their cattle and crops. Their water, in both rivers and jars, had been turned to blood and many died of thirst. Pharaoh’s counselors lament that “Egypt is destroyed.” No amount of clever maneuvering will ever make this narrative fit into the conventional structure of Egyptian history, whether one takes the Rameside exodus theory or the exodus in the time of Thutmose III. Egyptians may have tried to cover over their defeats, but the cataclysmic destruction of their whole civilization, the drowning of Pharaoh’s army together with Pharaoh, the burning of all their crops, the death of most of their cattle, and widespread death of thirst cannot be covered up.

In fact, there is such an event in Egyptian history- the cataclysm which brought about the collapse of Egyptian civilization at the end of the 12th Dynasty. But this only works if the conventional chronology is rejected and shortened. In one move, one will not only vindicate the biblical history of the exodus, but find that the conquest, the Kingdom of Solomon, and many other biblical narratives are substantiated by this one realignment. The chronology of the Hebrew text requires further compression in relating the so-called “Middle Kingdom” to the Old Kingdom and recognizing the concurrence of many dynasties in accordance with those ancient writers who actually possessed the full text of Manetho, fragments of which have been used to construct the modern system.

Ancient writers such as Herodotus and Josephus independently provide the age of Egyptian civilization, identifying its origin around 2000 BC. It just so happens that this aligns with the Hebrew chronology. The idea that the pyramids are a slam dunk against this chronological scheme is frustrating to me, because in taking the conventional chronology for granted, one has in one swift stroke falsified the entirety of Israel’s biblical history up to the division of Northern and Southern Kingdoms of Israel. If one takes the short chronology of the Hebrew Bible to be an obvious sign that the true history of Egypt is far shorter than the conventional construction would allow, one finds appropriate evidence for the whole biblical history- Egypt destroyed, Jericho’s walls fallen and burned, immense wealth in the Solomonic period. Advocates of the LXX chronology will vindicate their textual preferences in Genesis 11 and eliminate everything which comes afterwards in the same stroke.

I don’t agree with that perspective concerning the falsification of the MT. It is based only on an inference that the identification of Shem with Melchizedek took would be fatal for the Christian theology of Christ as priest after Melchizedek’s order. But this just isn’t true. We have no concrete evidence for the centrality of the “without father, without mother” text from Hebrews in contra-Jewish apologetics. To motivate a systematic falsification of the text of scripture, this argument should have been far more important- as it stands, this is just a guess on the part of certain theorists, and not a well-grounded one.

Particularly problematic for this hypothesis is the fact that St. Ephrem the Syrian follows the tradition in identifying Shem with Melchizedek. This indicates that the identification was not particular to rabbinic Judaism and had been independently transmitted in the family of Semitic Christian traditions in which Ephrem’s Syriac tradition participated.

Finally, this misses the point of the “without father, without mother” passage in Hebrews. It is not an assertion that Melchizedek is some kind of divine being who is not of Adam’s bone and blood. It is a point made in relation to the priestly character of Melchizedek, which is not based on lineal descent from a priestly tribe but on his authority as king of Jerusalem. This is the context of Hebrews, and the point remains exactly the same if Melchizedek is Shem. In fact, a friend of mine who is an astute scholar of Hebrews believes that this identification is implicit in the logic of the text and was taken for granted by Paul!

In any case, the claim that the chronology was falsified in order to refute Christianity by identifying Melchizedek with Shem is entirely without evidence. I have seen it floating around and it seems to be one of those strange hypotheses that people assume must have something behind it because of how often it is repeated. But this notion stands upon nothing at all. It is a guess without basis in the historical evidence and which makes little sense even when taken on its own terms.

as a postscript, it is notable that all changes between the LXX and MT figures are round numbers. Each of them ends with a zero or two zeros. This means that there was not the precise molding of the figures which would be necessary to explain the kinds of nonrandom chronological correspondences that appear in biblical history. For example, the Temple of Solomon is completed precisely three-thousand years from the Creation of the world- on the Hebrew chronology. If the scribes had altered the original (represented by the LXX figures) in order to produce such a significant number, then the alterations would be expected to be very precise: certainly not the rounded figures we actually find to be the difference between the two textual traditions. If, however, the Hebrew text became corrupted into what we find in the LXX figures, the explanation is perfectly parsimonious.

There are no analogous chronological synchronicities if one takes the LXX to be the accurate text, so there is nothing to explain. Round numbers were added, disrupting the harmony of the biblical chronology and obscuring the elegance of its structure and numerical order. Such order means that there undoubtedly was a mind who arranged things in this fashion. If the LXX is original, this must be the scribe- but the problem is that since the numbers by which he reduced LXX figures are round, the structure of the numerical patterns cannot have been the purpose for which he modified the chronological data.

The presence of these chronological features in the Hebrew text, combined with the roundness of the difference between LXX and MT numbers, shows that the Mind which ordered the numerical structure of Israel’s biblical story was the divine Mind who arranged that story and who inspired his prophets to accurately record its sacred history in the Hebrew Bible, whose chronology has been successfully transmitted through the Masoretic textual tradition of the Hebrew Bible. The alternative massively lacks parsimony and necessitates a host of bizarre coincidences producing, entirely by accident, the date of the Temple in 3000 Anno Mundi- not to mention that the Second Temple was destroyed precisely one-thousand years later in 4000 Anno Mundi, 70 Anno Domini.
