just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

also remember that no form of resistance is ever acceptable to the colonizer. and that includes non-violent resistance (the great march of return) + non-violence is only successful against a force that has a conscience. but if your opponent had a conscience, he would not be oppressing you in the first place.
#its a bit weird how people who have been oppressed for decades are held to this moral standard that not even their oppressor is held to tbh#also yeah agreed w the person here like if i was a part of such a group being oppressed i would not just sit and take it#there's only so much pain and loss you can take#israelis want to cause so much destruction that it debilitates the palestinians but it ends up fuelling their desire to fight back even mor#i was just reading up on how initially the people who made up hamas focused on social services#and only became interested in developing a militant wing after israel's brutal occupation of south lebanon#and the plo's retreat#even before oct 7#hamas fighting back was never acceptable to Israel#even if they were only using rockets made of scrap metal. no form of resistance can ever be acceptable to the occupier.#free palestine#palestine#gaza#israel#israeli war crimes#death to israel#long live palestine#glory to the martyrs#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#long live the resistance

it's kinda crazy the only person on my f1 Instagram whose stories are full of pro palestine posts is Kelly Piquet
#good for her#cause all these other f1 celebs are Quiet. and Charles unfollowed that pro Palestine page he used to follow#I don't think it's a virtue signal cause she's actively losing followers and even the hadids -- the world's biggest models -- talked ab#losing job opportunities bc of being pro 🇵🇸 and Kelly wants to be within the fashion industry#people are multifaced beings if you can hate them for being wrong you can also acknowledge when they're right#kelly piquet

zionists don't realise it but saying 'this is the most jewish thing ever!' and 'people hate when jews do something clever' and and reporting it as 'innovative methods which carried out a precise military operation' and joking about ongoing attacks using everyday technology to injure thousands of civilians is not. good
#sadly i don't know how to describe the feeling but#the depravity of cheering for 'men losing their testicles' in gaza and lebanon/syria is something i have seen multiple times now#it's recurring#something which has stood out multiple times over the recent months not just with devices blowing up#bottom surgery jokes when people have lost their eyes and fingers and chunks of their stomach#cheering on death as if it means nothing#calling children terrorists who deserved to die#killing civilians and causing mass disabling events in multiple countries does not prove you're winning#that's not a military win in any form#watching anyone celebrate the death of children and regular people regardless of where there from is not normal#that's not normal behaviour#it's not good#how that can be seen as a positive thing for Zionists who are then advertising Zionism as Jewishness i don't know#Palestine#Lebanon#Syria#try to stay offline if in the region#stay safe everyone#fight oppressors where you can#don't praise the 'strategy' of 'precisely' targeting civilians and kids that will all get labeled as evil active fighters#👍#none of it's a surprise considering the history but it still surprises me sometimes the way it doesn't register to them#that maybe associating killing civilians and being gleeful about child murder with Being Jewish is. not good#like that's not a good look for PR you'd think there would at least be some pretense or pretend but no

I'm absolutely enraged at people saying that all these celebrities and influencers don't need to speak up about Palestine "because it's not their place/job" or that "their careers will get ruined and they'll get canceled."
I just need you to stop for a second and think.
Their job is to influence people, hence the name. This is a mass genocide, people are being killed and murdered for the sake of creating a jewish majority state. This is an ethnic cleansing. These people need to speak up, so that the news of what Israel and the US are doing to these people in Gaza can reach other people, and encourage and influence them so that people know not to support Israel and help the Palestinians, simply because their online presence will have alot of impact.
As for their careers, you care more about the life and career of a celebrity and influencer who makes millions by just pulling out their phone and making a silly little video or record a silly little song? What about the lives of the Palestinians? Hmm? They're losing their entire lives, their jobs, their houses, their family and friends. They're losing everything. And yet, you care more about the songs your favourite artist records or the videos your favorite tiktoker/YouTuber makes right?
Stop sitting there doing nothing and use your damn brain.
This is GENOCIDE. An ETHNIC CLEANSING. How has society evolved so much that they're going backwards? How can you try and justify the murder of thousands of people? Almost 40,000 people have been murdered by Israel. That's not even including the injured and the missing and the hostages who are being raped, abused and physically and psychologically tortured.
You all cared so much of those 5 billionaires in that one submarine right? Where's all that empathy for the Palestinians? Where is all that worry, stress and anxiety that they'll be saved in time? You are watching a genocide, an ethnic cleansing, a holocaust infront of your very eyes, and yet you do nothing. You wonder what you would've done in the German holocaust, this, this is what you would've done. What you are doing now, is what you would've done then.
Scroll ahead, ignore this message 'because it's too long to read', that's the only thing you can do right? Ignore what isn't your problem? You don't care about anything unless it directly affects you and your cozy, comfortable life in your home, taking the life you have for granted that was ripped away from the Palestinians.
Do better.
#Well this got longer than I expected#It was just supposed to be about the influencers but idc cause ppl need to hear this and stop being ignorant and selfish bastards#palestine#free palestine#gaza#free gaza#gaza strip#israel#gaza genocide#genocide#from the river to the sea palestine will be free#gazaunderattack#israhell

swifties who treat joe alwyn super shitty piss me off so much because joe literally has done nothing bad to the media, or to swifties???? And the Instagram comments on posts promoting his and Emily stone's new movie and comments under anything mentioning him are so dramatic. Because 1. we don't know what happened between him and Taylor and its gross you guys think its your business 2. he just doing his job???? 3. his life *and all celebrities lives* and relationships aren't your entertainment. Joe is a good guy, he's a good actor, he speaks up and donates to Palestinian relief funds and shows his support for Gaza and equallity. And just cause him and taylor's relationship ran its course doesn't mean you guys get to be dicks to him just because you *think* you know what happened
#taylor swift#joe alwyn#swifties for palestine#being a swiftie sucks sometimes#cause people like to think they#know what happened#and they have a say or smth#idk#ava rants

Not the fucking zionists saying Slimane (the French contestant for Eurovision) should have been kicked out after he stopped singing to speak about peace. (From the comments under a post showing his speech)
"It's a singing contest, he cannot speak about politics! LOVE ISRAEL!"
Why are you so afraid of an arabic man speaking about peace??? Why is it so unacceptable to you??? Do you feel threatened by an arabic man speaking about peace???
Also, they all seem to agree Israel should have win, like they should just have received the first place without actually competing, because they are poor babies at war and the other contestants suck (they have shown being with Palestine or against Israel a little bit). So, no politics, you cannot speak of peace, but Israel should win because of politics???
#boycott eurovision#palestine#free palestine#israel#you don't even have to try to annoy Israel holy shit#the way they are speaking about it like he said a slur or something#“It's unacceptable. How did they let him continue?” you are not alright#and the french in the comments being like “interrupting the program for a cause? that's so french of him” sjaibxufvk

When's the last time a politician listened to people?
When's the last time a Politician went with what was popular?
Genocide is popular for dems. That is why the politicians support it so blatantly cruely.
Otherwise? It'd be political suicide!
It ain't tho.
Because Dems are pro-genocide.
#democrats#politics#genocide#israel#palestine#if they wanted to prove us wrong they could've started by being Anti-Genocide instead of Blue Fanboys#constantly going off about people that are anti-genocide and not voting for dems#ya'll recognize every problem ya bring up that Dump will cause#you're saying supersedes the responsibility of vocalizing that you're opposed to Genocide#gotcha#so when I stub my toe I can start being real racist#I got ya#my problems supersede all others!!!#it finally makes sense now!#You're allowed to hate as long as you're in danger#by golly I wonder if that's how Hamas feels too#and Israel#but never Palestinians as we continue to fucking see

Why tf is Dune trending and Palestine isn't? Doesn't the cast contain Zionists???
(Please take this as a reminder to do your research before watching something, I had to educate my grandfather about this because he was talking about going to see Dune 2 in theaters)
#palestine#free palestine#endisraelsgenocide#gaza#free gaza#palestine forever#🍉🇵🇸#🇵🇸🍉#🍉#🇵🇸#I would include the Dune tag but at the same time my anxiety is causing me to worry about being attacked by Zionists-

Omg that ask you received about marginalised swifties ‘Turning their brains off’ to fawn over their fave fascist is SO REAL.
Ur ask box says come here to rant so I’m NOT holding back lmao sorry if this is a long one.
One of my friends is like this but he doesn’t even have Taylor Swift as an exception to his political opinions/ the standards he sets for other celebrities. Instead he will try to the best of his ability to justify EVERYTHING she does. Even if he literally said the opposite five minutes ago.
He loves Greta Thunberg and thinks carbon credits are just rich people shite?? Actually no Taylor is trying her best!! 😭😭 did you know she bought carbon credits so really she’s mitigating climate change.
He is against racism (AS A WHITE ENGLISH BOY) And thinks all celebrities should speak up against it?? Well, if she speaks up she and her fans could be hurt! (In THIS crowd?? 💁🏼♀️ 👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼👩🏼🦱👩🏼👩🏻🦰👩🏼👩🏻👩🏼 Bitch WHO?).
He is against homophobia (dude is literally gay) and any cishet celebrity who doesn’t immediately condemn homophobia is trash and morally bankrupt (his own words- which I agree with)?? Well yk she did make that one song! Wdym it portrays the poor rural working class as the homophobes and the rich educated people as great allies who have never been homophobic nor the ones passing homophobic and transphobic legislation?? No it’s actually a metaphor (for what? Her being classist? Not much of a metaphor when it’s fucking obvious).
That’s the context, so here’s The Story 😸😸
I remember late last year (a few weeks before Taylor Swift donated the wild wild sum of £250 dollars to see a comedy show raising money for Palestine) me and my friend were talking about how it’s morally bankrupt for celebrities to not talk about Palestine and this delulu little swiftie was like “yeah!! You guys are so right!” Until our friend was like “esp billionaires cz they could make so much of an impact just by speaking up once but don’t because they care more their money and have probably never spoken to a brown person darker than a paper bag”
And lemme tell you this about this mf. his face dropped immediately like 😊😟 and he starts waffling on like “uhmm well she’s on tour it would endanger her fans! Like the Manchester terror attack!! And she’s not a politician or anything so it wouldn’t do nowt.”
(The way he was insinuating her fans might get bombed in a ‘terror attack’ is a little 🤨 considering Isreal wouldn’t bomb a white US American woman and her majority wealthy white western fanbase in a western zionist county because that demographic makes up the majority of their supporters, and esp not in a terror attack... unless he’s aware of the fact that she’s probably a Zionist but just doesn’t want to say it LMAOO)
So me and my friend share A Look like what is this english boy (derogatory: inbred racist) on? And he immediately goes on the offence and I will say again; he is a staunch leftist. He is a gay guy in the Uk, esp considering the northern (aka fucked by the government, quite bigoted and really deprived) working class (he is the richest of our friend group but tbh that isn’t saying much lmao) area we live in. He is ALWAYS talking about social justice and how he, who is on average the most privileged person in our friend group, wants to use his privilege to help the less fortunate.
So! He turns to our friend: queer brown girl who’s family are catholic and from Maharashtra (India), and me: queer white girl who’s family are (mostly) Jewish and from Eastern Europe. And he says (I SHIT YOU NOT) extremely loudly so that many people nearby can hear cause we’re in our school’s canteen:
“Well, at least MY ANCESTORS didn’t murder hundreds of Hindus during partition! And at least MY BROTHER isn’t in the IDF!!”
(Wish this was in an English literature exam cause I could analyse the fuck out of it)
All it took was people insinuating his favourite celebrity wasn’t a good person. We didn’t even fucking name her. And he weaponises his privileges against those with less than him. Even if what he said was true it is fucking disgusting to use that against minorities, esp his friends, esp because we live in an area where so many people fall prey to politics scapegoating minorities for all the UK’s problems, and esp because he pretends to be against this stuff??
But no it gets worse, because let me explain the actual truth of that he said.
Our friend’s family were originally Hindu and converted relatively recently and AFTER partition so they wouldn’t have been killing Hindus. And saying murder is just pretty ugh. Also HUNDREDS?? The only people with that much blood on their hands after partition are the English and that’s a fucking fact. And from what I know most of the conflicts within Maharashtra were not religious but ethnic-based?? I might be wrong but of course this guy wouldn’t know regardless. Also it should be noted that the majority of Indian kids at our school are from a different state with a different language + culture and our friend already feels alienated from them along with being treated like shit by a select few. So literally announcing her family fucking MURDERED theirs isn’t helping at all!
Then there’s my bit lol.
First of all it’s not my brother, it’s my half brother. And he’s not in the IDF he is just a Zionist. Which is still really awful and uplifting a system of apartheid. But not the same.
Now the thing is. The only reason this guy knows this is because THREE YEARS AGO i entrusted him as a friend and vented about issues in my family: that my half brother is a Zionist and wants to join the IDF when he’s older and I’m really ashamed that he has interpreted our religion in a way that perpetrates genocide. Also like my entire family are arguing about it and it’s really stressful. A month later (still 3 years ago) someone spread rumours around school that I was a Zionist and hated Muslims (what really happened was that someone was making Holocaust jokes saying ‘I gave them permission to do it’ and I called them out, so that was their revenge.). This guy was my friend all through that and KNOWS how much it upset me and esp because there were at the time no other Jewish people in our school.
To this day I’m still hesitant to tell people at school that I’m Jewish because I’m paranoid something like this will happen again.
But this guy didn’t care. He made up a lie about my friend not only demonising her to her own community but also to outsiders. Blaming mass bloodshed that his own people perpetrated onto her and her family. Then he lied about me and my family- bastardising something I told him years ago as a close friend with the trust he wouldn’t use it against me years later. But he did.
Of our little trio (we do have a bigger friend group but we were the only ones in that convo), he is the one who has done the least for Palestine. We have been fighting for fucking years and he’s only opening his eyes know which is still good and better than never of course. But to speak with such authority when literally all he has done is tell us he’s against Israel (better than Taylor but still spineless). Bro isn’t even an activist because there’s nothing active about what he does. He just passively hangs around and through association with us, other people and being already a minority (queer) isn’t assumed to be a Zionist.
AND!! Ironically he is actually quite disliked at my school- not for being a scumbag, but for the fact that he’s gay. We are some of his only friends but he’s willing to jeopardise our relationship just to uplift an insanely wealthy bigot half a world away.
Anyway yeah that’s it lol.
What he did was racist and antisemitic and fucking AWFUL. He has done stuff like this before and since- never always go the same extent though- and I think this story takes the cake.
When you said leftist swifties will just ignore their values for her. You were right to an extend but also kind of wrong. Turns out they will also weaponise everything they claim to be against just to protect their precious little blonde billionaire. Hooray 🤩🤩
Anyway thank you so so much for not only calling out Taylor swift and swifties’s BS but also issues within the anti community (sigh. Jewishbarbies) and standing up for what’s right. Free Palestine and fuck the colonisers 🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️
As a side note you said you wanted to listen to more Indian songs n you probably already know it cause it’s Bollywood and really popular but CHAMMAK CHALLO by Akon is a lifestyle <3 I might not be here much but I’d love to be 😻 anon if it’s available (or the REAL Jewish barbie if you feel like it lmao)
please drop this guy. this is not your friend this is someone who hangs out with you because (as you said) no one else likes him.
nobody with his alleged politics would ever think let alone ACCUSE you and your desi best friend of racist lies (STRAIGHT UP ACCUSING YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY OF MASS MURDER?) and zionist ties (blaming you for your brother wanting to join the idf?). this is not a good person.
i’m sorry this behavior is so abhorrent. nobody who genuinely respects, likes, cares and KNOWS the both of you would ever think of saying this in your face. and all in the defense of a WEALTHY WHITE CELEB WHO PRIDES HERSELF IN BEING A FEMINIST CONTINUING TO STAY SILENT 9 MONTHS INTO A GENOCIDE. he is showing you that he would rather side with/defend a (privileged) white person rather his own marginalized friends if he likes them more than you. this is not someone not committed to their own politics.
this is what i was saying about further left identifying swifties is that their leftist politics are just aesthetics for them. if you can disregard your politics for your favorite celeb you are not committed to the ideology you claim as your political framework. also i noticed how you used homophobia and greta thunberg as examples, which explains his behavior as self serving meaning he’s a leftist only because he’s directly impacted by his issues. (if he calls himself anti racist tell him to stfu especially after what he said to your desi bff bc wtf) this is not a good person who’s own personal politics regarding palestine are passive at best. he isn’t even committed to palestine’s liberation.
ugh. what a disgusting human being. i am so sorry your “friend” said this disgusting shit to you just because HE felt threatened you guys were holding his fave accountable. he went fully mask off and spouted bigotry because HE felt threatened. if this is not the first or last time he’s done this, he’s told you multiple times who he is and you have no obligation to continue being his friend because he does not deserve to be.
fuck all the zionists in the tag and SHOW UP FOR PALESTINE. go and get involved in your actions, reshare and donate to gfm’s, actively educate yourself (haymarket books has free book pdfs to download about palestine), post online and above all REMAIN STEADFAST IN YOUR COMMITMENT TO PALESTINE.
death to all colonial powers, land back to all indigenous peoples, and reparations and return of all stolen resources and artifacts to the decolonized peoples. fuck israel and death to the white settler colonial state!
#anti taylor swift#notyouraryang0dd3ss#anon#anti swifties#ask#idk how to tag this honestly cause wtf#i am so sorry this happened to you and your bff. what a horrible guy#😻#you got that emoji anon congrats!#palestine#ts: palestine#political swifties#ive also had friends like this bfore and im telling you youre gonna be so much happier without them#but also a fuck you to jewishbarbies being a horrible human being

girl help the content about palestine on tiktok is turning from actual journalism content and educational resources and organized ways to help to "boycott everything or you're a bad person and if you don't use a game filter that generates 0.00001 cent you're personally the problem"
#of course theres still a lot of good stuff on there regarding activism but. *please*#the all-or-nothing disorganized activism comes from a good place but can also end up being discouraging/confusing for other people#theres a difference between 'follow this concise list of companies with proof of supporting israel as best you can'#and 'boycott everything on black friday/cyber monday because its the same time as the ceasefire ignore the sales and#don't buy anything from these big companies just make this a thrifty/homemade holiday season'#even though bds has amazon listed as a NON BOYCOTT company#and some people 1.) dont have a good selection of thrift/secondhand stores as alternatives#and 2.) cannot on short notice switch to making gifts for everyone#(like me! i switched away from homemade gifts *because its too much to do in the holiday season*)#(and switching up what im doing to all thrift/homemade would *cause me to burn myself out*)#mine#tiktok#free palestine#boycott

No matter how much trauma you have experienced, you never have the right to inflict that trauma on others.
#zhuixing posts#this is about palestine#but also about the way people view victimhood in general#which leads people to side with an apartheid state because of the argument that jewish people can only be perpetual victims#and the fear to call out israel's atrocities or to assert that a genocide is being committed by israel#atrocities cannot be excused no matter who the perpetrator is and no matter who the victim is#it doesn't matter how much generational trauma there may be#slaughtering thousands of innocent people and CHILDREN is *still exactly what it is*#there is no universe where this is remotely okay#i'm honestly without words about how horrible this is#even if the bombings and the destruction and the massacre wasn't going on#it would still be unacceptable to force people out of their homelands for another group's 'greater good'#the amount of trauma being caused every day is horrific#when did 'never again' become specific to one single group of people#why are some people considered more 'human' than others#what the hell is this world

If I could Thanos snap a single time, I think I might use it to teach all the "But she supports Israel! :(" crowd what the Overton Window is and how we shift it left.
