#they say from the river to the sea palestine will be free

[weemietime]

Not to mention this, but you can plainly see it in Arabic articles on Wikipedia where Holocaust denialism is clear, which means that for anyone who doesn't speak English, the most comprehensive data on the Holocaust that they're liable to even glance at, is nothing more than antisemitic canard.

The word Holocaust is mentioned a grand total of 9 times. The rest of the article focuses on Hitler's family, lmao. There is not even a "Holocaust" section in this article, while there is very clearly one in English.

So yea, you can claim "it just means Palestine will be free," the same way you can claim there's no historical revisionism in major Arabic sources about WW2, even though the word "genocide" is used a grand total of twice and not even in the first paragraph blurb.

Compared to the English article, where it's used 7 times, however during each of those times it is then followed by a very clear and comprehensive explanation into what was actually being done (the mass organized murder of 6 million Jews and who was responsible for it) - again, not present in the Arabic version.

I also feel the need to sidebar that the eleven million figure (Jews and others) is fucking mythological. This number was given as an answer to a question by someone literally just guessing off the top of their head. The correct number is more like THIRTY FIVE MILLION but hey on Holocaust remembrance day we don't need facts fam!

Consider when packaged together by people claiming Israel ought to be eradicated and regurgitating literal al-Husseini rhetoric about Arabizing Israel during his Best Friend meetings with Adolf Hitler, and considering the quote exists in two other forms with the pan-Arab sentiments clearly in tact, don't turn around and bitch that nobody trusts you.

Especially when you fuckers are out there calling for globalized intifada. Instead of being a shill for Husseini, why don't you ever spend any time educating people on the multiple pan-Arab versions of this quote (and those who freely and proudly spew them) and condemning that? Could it be that you actually don't give a shit, mayhaps?

Color me shocked and stunned. By the way, Hamas was doing the same shit in Haifa that you idiots blame Israel for doing despite clear evidence of white phosphorous shells from Hamas, too. None of you fuckers give a shit about civilian casualties, you are just mask-off antisemites.

If this was really about Gaza being free from Israel then maybe you can explain why EVERY version of this quote features the phrase "from the River to the Sea"? From the river to the sea WHAT, exactly? Gaza is not located from the river to the sea, dipshit. It means that from the Mediterranean sea to the Jordan River Jews will be expelled so Arabs can move in.

And ftr, as far as I can tell, a majority of Jewish people would be fine with Arabs moving in to live peacefully alongside them. But as Hamas themselves have told you fucking imbeciles from their inception, right up until 2016 it was fully emblazoned on the Hamas charter itself in fact (that Hamas is not a government for Gaza but rather a tool to exterminate Jews), they do not WANT that.

Maybe instead of noble savage bullshit where poor brown people can do no wrong you can shut the fuck up and actually listen to what they are telling you they are going to do.

For every one Nakba (of which there was a grand total of one and which was reactionary to six Arab countries simultaneously attacking Israel despite most refugees there building in uninhabited completely worthless land which they farmed back to life themselves) there are dozens, hundreds of Farhuds and Hebron massacres and pogroms and expulsions and supercessionist revisionist oppressions.

None of you care that all Jews were expelled from Iraq and Yemen and Afghanistan and Ethiopia and Russia and on and on and on and on and on. Expelled to Israel. Then the leaders say oh death to Israel, tee hee, idk what ur talking about "the Jews who I expelled there will die????" no idea!!!

How about instead of chanting from the river to the sea you chant "Yemen, repatriate your Jewish population at once!" catchier, too. In the year of 2025 (btw a Christian year, after the death of CHRIST but let's just say Before common era yeah it's fine) during literal Holocaust remembrance day you motherfuckers continue to pull this shit.

Sit down and shut the fuck up forever.

Wait why is "from the river to the sea" a genocidal chant??

Simply put, it's being chanted by Hamas supporters, who have made it abundantly clear that they intend to control and ethnically cleanse by means of mass murder the entire region between "the river and the sea".

And the version "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free" is the English translation. In the original Arabic... well...

There are two versions:

min il-ṃayye la-l-ṃayye / Falasṭīn ʿarabiyye/من المية للمية / فلسطين عربية,

"from the water to the water / Palestine is Arab"

Which, well, doesn't have much room for non-Arabs, now does it?

And the version

min il-ṃayye la-l-ṃayye / Falasṭīn islāmiyye من المية للمية / فلسطين إسلامية,

"from the water to the water / Palestine is Islamic"

Well, that doesn't leave any room for Jews, now does it?

But yeah, given that the people chanting the slogan in English are doing so in explicit support of Hamas--which has said that they will continue to engage in 7/10-style attacks until they kill all of the Jews, which is not an exaggeration on my part--there is no way to take that statement as anything other than an endorsement of Jewish genocide or ethnic cleansing.

In the biggest street in Tel Aviv, Israelis hang up signs that say “Victory looks like 0 people in Gaza,” and “Genocide Gaza.”

The Eurovision song contest is facing intense scrunity and accusations of discrimination after it rebuked Swedish-Palestinian pop star Eric Saade for wearing a Palestinian scarf in the opening act of the semi-finals. Saade, whose father is of Palestinian origin, kicked off the first semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden on Tuesday evening with a keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian and Arab male headdress, wrapped around his wrist. [...] In response, the organisers of the contest, European Broadcasting Union (EBU) released a statement saying it "regretted" that Saade wore the scarf. "The Eurovision Song Contest is a live TV show. All performers are made aware of the rules of the contest, and we regret that Eric Saade chose to compromise the non-political nature of the event," it said. [...] Eurovision later posted clips of the performances of the other two opening acts on its social media pages, but did not share Saade’s, prompting social media users to share the performance on their personal pages to show support for the artist.

Waving Palestinian flags, wearing traditional Palestinian garments, or if we're being honest, just being Palestinian, is now officially "too political" for Eurovision.

Literally, all Saade did was wear a keffiyeh around his wrist—while being Palestinian—and that was enough to get a statement from the EBU, and have his opening performance scrubbed from Youtube.

If you're not already boycotting Eurovision this year, then what the fuck is wrong with you?

Below are two statements from Saade. The first one, giving his reason for participating, was posted a few days ago, and the other was in response to the EBU accusing him of 'compromising the non-political nature' of the Genocide Song Contest:

Reminder again to BOYCOTT EUROVISION 🇵🇸

Bisan is calling for another global strike!

I saw some posts just outlining Jan 21st, and wanted to clarify that Bisan has called for a full seven days of action.

What a global strike would look like is:

calling in sick to work

purchasing bare essentials ahead of the week so you can observe the general boycott of goods / buying as little as you genuinely can

putting in a concerted effort to elevate Palestinian voices and make it clear that this strike is in support of a permanent ceasefire!

For those who will have to purchase necessary goods during this time, please observe the brands that the BDS movement is asking us to boycott!

♢♢♢

Right now is also a good time to mention some better uses for your money during this week.

Available e-sims in Gaza are running low!!

Mirna El Helbawi and her team are working round the clock to continue to connect Palestinians as Israel does its best to cut them off from the rest of the world.

You can learn how to purchase and send e-sims here, and below you’ll find a list of what is currently needed (the areas in brackets indicate what region you should select to buy e-sims in).

--

CareforGaza is an organisation that does verifiably good work, distributing supplies directly to Palestinian families.

They have a Gofundme set up at the moment, but because of Gofundme’s poor track record regarding refusing to transfer funds to Palestinians, I’d recommend continuing to donate directly to their PayPal here.

Good luck to all of you. Don't turn away from Palestine!

[sscarletvenus]

every day is crueler than the last and the nightmare continues another day. another life was the cost of flour.

fuck israel. fuck biden and his administration. fuck the untied states. may any individual who supports this endless cycle of murder suffer what they have inflicted on innumerable innocent.

may the martyred rest in paradise. glory to the resistance. the apartheid entity will fall before our very eyes, with its fellow colonial regimes.

[marbledew]

Do you condemn the murder of children? Or is it complicated when it’s middle eastern children? When it’s brown children? When it’s Muslim children? Is it complicated when they don’t speak English? When you can’t understand their cries for help? Is it complicated when the news tells you it is? When they lie? Is it complicated because you can’t let go of the idea that your friends and your politicians know everything, or is it complicated because you don’t care for the lives dying in this genocide?

The evidence is undeniable by anybody with a shred of morals and a brain at all. Only the uneducated, stupid, ignorant, or evil continue to support the Israeli government’s war crimes, genocide, and apartheid state. It isn’t antisemetic to support Palestine, it’s the intellectually and morally correct stance. Free Palestine, fuck Israel.

[thecatspasta]

Today I was talking to someone and Palestine came up and their response to it was 'Not my country, not my problem'

So let me just spell it out for you

It is your problem when you willfully ignore people telling you about Palestinians being slaughtered

It is your problem when you buy and support companies that are actively aiding in the genocide

It is your problem when you stand by, knowing full well that people are being killed in the thousands and deciding to let it happen

Do not stay quiet and be complacent in genocide. Do not ignore this, it is happening now. From river to sea, palestine will be free

NO PART OF OPPOSING THIS SHOULD BE REMOTELY CONTROVERSIAL!!!!!!!!

Two more journalists killed by Israeli bombing

Quoting from Al Jazeera:

In the past 24 hours, six media professionals have been killed by Israeli bombing, including journalists Sari Mansour and Hassouneh Salim. They were hit by an Israeli air strike on the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. At least 55 Palestinian media workers have been killed since October 7.

Had to share this video to show you how beautiful and culturally rich Palestine is. These are the cities of Palestine and their names. Despite the destruction and death, we still have hope. And we will survive this 🙏🇵🇸

It's a beautiful country full of beautiful people, and we deserve to live, frankly.

[balasha7sanbardo]

honestly you must be a special kind of sick and evil to support israel. they bombed a fucking hospital. a hospital. how psychopathic, privileged, and ignorant do you have to be to support them. y’all make me sick. I want to grab your faces and force you to watch what’s happening.

[angelsaxis]

from NBC news: "Israel is expanding its offensive into refugee camps in central Gaza - what it calls a 'new battle zone.' Residents have been ordered to leave crowded, urban refugee camps as the military pummels the area by land, sea and air."

Thank you for the light.

(10/6/2024) okay i've gotten a TON of asks from palestinian accounts asking for aid, so i've compiled all of them here since im not able to donate!! ive checked to see if they're verified by others, so these all should be safe, but if you want to donate make sure to double check yourself.

that being said, if you are someone who is looking for your campaign to be boosted, im going to say right now that my teensy tiny blog probably is not the best place to share campaigns with. i've gotten like a huge flood of asks from palestinian accounts recently that i cant thoroughly check for verification on a regular basis + when posted they almost always never gain traction---this is quite literally a fandom page run by a random teenager. you'd definitely better off sending in asks to accounts focused around boosting gazan campaigns that have a substantial following.

"These hostages sure look alive and healthy," you sneer. "Guess Hamas isn't so bad, huh?"

Yeah, uh, can I ask you a question, asshole? Let's say you're at a party, during a weekend holiday. While you're there, a bunch of armed men storm in, murder your friends in front of you, grab you at gunpoint, take you over the border where you're paraded through the streets as a sick trophy for a screaming mob who try to assault you, then lock you in a windowless room where you're barely fed and told that your families have been murdered and that they'll kill you if you so much as talk too loudly.

When someone finally manages to rescue you, after 246 days (one day too late to see your dying father), would you:

a.) thank your rescuers and hopefully kick your tormentor's corpse on the way out, or

b.) scream at your rescuers that those poor terrorists! didn't even hack off any of your limbs!!! so clearly they're poor woobie bunny wabbits and how could your hurt them, you monsters?!

I guess just kidnapping isn't bad enough if they're Jews, huh?

So, uh, yeah. If you're making this argument, you're a fucking idiot and also a horrible person. 🙃
