#this is textbook genocide

[dejwrld]

the anon message that asked me to put a tw on the stuff i reblog that’s happening in gaza right now, i am respectfully telling you….no. please just unfollow me. i don’t feel right putting tw so other people can’t see what’s happening right now. everyone needs to know what is happening because we’re literally witnessing an ethnic cleansing while western media companies are reporting it as something else. so if spreading awareness and clips of what the people in gaza are going through is another thing me as a privilege person who don’t have to worry about waking up and my home getting destroyed by air strikes and shit or losing a family member for simply existing on a piece of land when western media and celebs are promoting the complete opposite is something i can do…i’m not putting trigger warnings on it.

"There are no bad and good "Ukrainians". Just like there are no different kinds of shit. The one who accepted the Ukrainian identity, accepted the ideology, values, goals, myths, way of thinking, behavior, and other charms of Ukrainianism. Therefore, the one who who considers himself a "Ukrainian" has a set of standard properties and qualities inherent in the sect of Ukrainians, he is standard in this. He must correspond to the chosen identity. Therefore, the abomination that we now observe in the thoughts and actions of "Ukrainians" is an abomination, equally inherent to everyone who considers himself a “Ukrainian.” A mentally normal person will not consciously identify himself as a “Ukrainian.” A “Ukrainian” is a shame and disgrace. I summarize. I don’t make generalizations about the “whole people���, this people simply does not exist in nature. I am only describing the sect and the psychopathic essence inherent in its group identity, on the basis of which socio-political events are now taking place in Ukraine, which have turned my once flourishing land into ruins." - Andrey Vajra. ( Put this quote on your wall in a frame and read it every day🙂 )

I am only posting this so that all of my mutuals can see the levels of literal nazi rhetoric Ukrainians have to deal with every day.

Like.... look at this genocidal blabber. This is what russians demolish our cities and create mass graves and torture chambers in the name of.

All I can add is that I hope this anon chokes on their own shit, together with all the nazis they are jerking off to.

TW FOR A LOT OF THINGS!!!

(VIDEO GAMES)

So, I know a lot of games that deal with heavy topics.

Mouthwashing (rape, depression, textbook narcissism, suicide), It Takes Two (divorce, child neglect [yes, they neglected Rose several times], emotional abuse of some kind), BATIM/BATDR (living in what feels like a time loop, manipulation, abuse, beauty standards), Little Nightmares (child abuse, starvation, attempted genocide, holy shit there’s a lot in this game-), and so forth.

I introduced my mom to the second one (It Takes Two) to start her off gently with these sort of games. I sent her a playthrough of it, and discovered five minutes too late it was a 9 HOUR PLAYTHROUGH. I’m so sorry mother-

The reason why I’m eventually going to send all these games to her? She was a head of the department in a helping organization for addiction, domestic abuse and violence, and suicide prevention. She commonly likes to delve into things with harsh themes, so I thought I’d send her these sort of games as a form of bonding. :)

When ppl talk about not learning some historical event in highschool I am compelled to simply not believe them bc that would imply rural kansas has better public schooling than wherever they went

The IOF was coming under fire because they kept questioning the Palestinian death tally but couldn't provide names to their own dead (odd since Gaza's Ministry of Health was able to do so for a number over four times larger while under attack). Hareetz was independently verifying their numbers and could only come up to 1.145 dead. So today they released the names of all the deceased on Oct 7th (without any data regarding age or gender) and over half of them are soldiers. Like you can't make this up. They said that only 400 were soldiers but it's way more than that.

QUEEN YOU WERE RIGHT

They don't wanna hear us; they just wanna dance. 😔

Your family have something precious.

Someone comes and kills your family and steals your family’s precious thing.

You try to get it back but you can’t they are too powerful

Then someone else comes and beats the bad guy and takes the precious thing.

But they will not give it back to you.

Their argument is they did all the hard work. They risked their lives. They lost their friends and family to fight Evil while you tried but failed.

Surely they deserve a little piece of rewards?

Also, they said you do not own that precious thing to begin with. That thing is too good and must be shared with everyone for maximum benefit.

But you grew up with that precious thing in your home and lost your family over that thing and you want to keep it. You dead family will want to have it back.

Of course your family did not make that thing out of air. But your family were the ones to reshape it on so something fascinating, something precious.

You want your family’s precious thing back, and those heroes of the stories ignore your pleads.

Your probably think this is about Silmarils.

But this is also how a lot of Sindar elves think about their lost lands.

—————

Imagine you are a Sindar elf that goes back to where your hometown was after the Long Piece started.

Noldor has built a new city in their own style over the ruin of your home

And they welcome you to stay offering citizenship like they are the owner of the land

They imposed new laws, that are different with laws of you people, and they called their laws advanced and right

If you don’t like the laws, you have the “freedom” to leave. They built this place, after all.

You look at that hill over there. You know the name of that hill. Your father brought you there on your begetting days and planted trees.

Your father was abducted by orcs when the Constrainer came from the west. You don’t know if he is alive or not and you don’t know which is the kinder fate.

Now the trees are gone and there are Noldor houses over the hill, and they gave the hill a new name you do not like.

You want to ask if the trees were burnt in the war, or cut down to make places for the house. You kept your questions to yourself.

They came to fight the dark enemy and they brought back your lost homeland. They do not deserve that hostility.

So you live at their city, learn their language, follow their laws, and in your head you call that hill by its old name.

Then one day the words reached you, and you lost it, you went to your Noldor neighbors to ask is that true is that true you came on ships stained by blood of my own people across the sea

They did not look at your eyes, and you know the rumor is true.

But they had no problem looking at your eyes before. They only show guilt after you find out their crimes

You followed their laws.

But what laws did they follow killing your family to steal their ships?

Had circumstances been difficult, would they kill you to steal your land?

But you will not know. You will not afford to find out.

fun fact: we actually know comparatively little about what different Celtic/Brythonic/various European forms of "tattoos" and woad painting etc looked like! we have evidence for that kind of body art, but in terms of actual design early archaeologists took ethnographic studies of First Nations peoples in the Americas (and later the Pacific Islands and other areas) as precedent for what they might have looked like bc they deemed them to have been at comparable stages of development/to have comparable tools.

so... you shouldn't need me to say this but if someone from a First Nations community tells you that your "Celtic/Norse war paint" is appropriated from an Indigenous community, listen to them.

I have now seen someone say that what the RDA and Quaritch did in the first Avatar wasn’t genocide. Shoutout to the Olangi clan, you guys may be gone but I’ll never forget you. 🫡🫡

[littlestarlex]

hearing my political influencer roommate say "I won't promote Biden because he hasnt called for a ceasefire to the genocide, but I am still voting for him" is so genuinely tone deaf and stupid and it alone convinced me I am DEFINITELY not voting for that stupid motherfucker (I already wasn't going to, but it confirmed I was making the right call)

the sentiment I keep hearing is "as long as it isn't Trump" but it's so frustrating to think, for some people, Biden is as bad as Trump, for some people his lack of action on major policy change has altered their lives permanently in ways than will never be undone

"well Trump is going to enact a national abortion ban, doesn't that scare you?" sure, but I'm scared right now for the very real people currently unable to get the Healthcare they need because of loss of roe v. wade, for some people that ban is already in place and they're facing very real consequences of it as we speak

I'm scared for my friends, my family, myself, and all the people I may never know who are being impacted RIGHT NOW by the democratic presidency we're currently under

just because I am not currently impacted does not mean it shouldn't be a priority, just because it doesn't directly impact me doesn't mean I should just let it go

they cannot have my vote just because they're blue, just because they pacify us with small scale wins while continuing to fund the very things that keep us from being in a position of power

shit in the government can take a long time, I get it, but clearly they can move quick when it's something they all want, like ripping the power from the people and silencing voices that want genuine change

they all want the same thing, just because democrats aren't up there screaming on stage doesn't make them any less evil than republicans

[rjalker]

TERFs will say the most blatantly racist, white supremacist, genocide-supporting shit you've ever fucking heard, where they portray people of color as disgusting, barbaric "delusional" monsters, and then cry white women tears claiming they're the only ones looking to protect women and why does everyone keep calling them racist for wanting to ~protect women~?

Right, fuming medical student here. Buckle tf up:

the A&P book is a locally written medical textbook, meaning the authors typically write dedications in their mother tongue: Arabic (its common practice to write in both arabic and english for dedications/ forwards etc.) as opposed to international medical textbooks like my Tortora A&P textbook.

not only is the paper a different colour, the font is larger and unmatching, its not even the same size paper and is sticking out from the bottom

Grave spelling mistake: its "sacrificed" not "sacrify" you illiterate cancerous growth. Medical textbooks get proof-read you imbecile

i cant be sure, but something tells me Hamas has better things to do than planting fake evidence (bc they have real, incriminating footage lol) in a random textbook... like ridding the world of your idiocy. but its just a hunch idk :)

for the billionth time, JEWS AND ISRAEL ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE TERMS unlike you have been conditioned to believe. Jews are those who follow the religion of Judaism, Israel is an illegal, occupying, colonial, settler, war criminal state created in 1948 on stolen Palestinian land.

and fyi; nothing, nothing you [IDF/ israel] do will ever 'reduce' the hate for israel. your lies have forever been uncovered for the whole world to see. anti-zionism is not anti-semitism, a simple google search will verify this.

Martrys by definition (regardless of religion) are people killed because of their religious beliefs, whereas terrorists are defined as those who use intimidation and unlawful violence in pursuit of political goals:

1- DYING FOR YOUR COUNTRY ISNT A POLITICAL STANCE; its an honour and a duty that many people dedicate their lives to. this may sound odd in the west, but in the middle east (esp in Palestine), our history and culture and heritage is deeply rooted in the land and most people will gladly die for their countries. this ofc is not limited to the MENA region. ALSO, theres an entire genre of art and literature dedicated to the love and longing for one's homeland (Haneen) just to drive the intense love people have for their native lands home <3

2- those Palestinian martyrs died protecting their land and mosque, where is the terrorism here? the rocks?? the molotovs?? saying no to an illegal occupation? breathing in the wrong direction????????

3- they died because they were shot, assaulted and violated by the worlds second most powerful army. the only terrorists are the IDF soldiers who match the definition of terrorism to a T

4- dedicating a book to the souls of martyrs who died were murdered for resisting an illegal occupying state is apparently a crime now? what where they supposed to do? give you the key to their homes and land and holy sites with smiles on their faces? what barbarism is this? what depravity?? if this were ukraine they would be hailed as heros, but because there are Palestinians/ Middle Easterners/ Arabs/ Muslims who are dying being killed left right and center, its ok. Take Sudan rn for example. complete and total silence. typical.

israelis arent innocent. theyre settlers who live in stolen homes on stolen land and dont hold back when expressing their hate and despicable intolerance of Palestinians and Arabs alike. If yall dont want to die, maybe give back what youve stolen and leave the land? idk just an idea.

Israel doesnt want peace, never has, never will. this pathetic fabrication is now one of millions of pieces of evidence piled against israel.

as if a human being with higher cognitive function will ever think "wow, a book (incorrectly) dedicated to Palestinians is hate speech! this IDF hero is so right!! they dont want peace!!! the earth is flat and trump is living in my attic!!!!!!"

i will, with every breath i have till my dying day, keep talking and yelling and screaming about Palestine. i want to die with a clear conscience thank you. and though my efforts are humble and negligable, i refuse to sit and do nothing. i will never shut up i promise.

thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Another fabricated evidence.

Noy Leyb plants a fake paper into a school book for a propaganda video. The paper has 8 folds, while the one before and after does not have any. It is written in English, and the spoken language of the people there is Arabic.

I like the bit where the first two pages (clearly fresh out of the photocopier) have a shade of white lighter than the slightly off-white colouring of the rest of the pages.

C+ for effort.

A+ for stupidity.

F for overall performance.

It's actually really frightening to see officially sanctioned genocide denial rise up in Western countries in real time. Like, I remember 20 years ago hearing about how it was illegal in Turkey to point out that the Armenian Genocide happened, and how I thought that that was fucking evil and oppressive. Now here we are, with a campaign in Gaza that experts have called 'a textbook case of genocide', for which the UN Human Rights counsel has determined there are "reasonable grounds" to call it genocide, and the US Congress is trying to make it illegal to criticize Israel. We have Hollywood agencies refusing to represent anyone who points out that a genocide is currently taking place. And it's just the same shit from a fresh asshole as we got from the Turkish government over what happened in Armenia in the 1920s, like "Oh yes, there were killings, but...calling it genocide? Ohhhh, you must be very hateful to our poor little nation to think that our people are capable of that 😢 😭!" Fuck off.
