#i have so much respect for everyone who is posting so much about palestine rn#when blm started getting more in the mainstream a few years ago i was big about it on social media when i couldnt attend the protests#and it made me a target for everyone in my community#i knew it was coming#but i didnt realize how unprepared i was#now years later i had to move to another country to get away from them#even though they were all i had#and all i still have while also not having#the israwl-palestine stuff is even more polarising for them than blm#it's such a weird thing to grow up in a racist community that actually has a history of oppression in our home country#you'd think that would make them more sympathetic to the palestinian cause or at least the oppression of the global south and poc in genera#but no#they live in this weird world where they're still being oppressed#i once reported them for having huge gatherings without masks without any safety measures during peak covid#all it did was push them more in the opposite direction#my honours thesis was on palestinian activism#i didnt even tell my mom what the actual research was#when i told her it had to do with palestinians she immediately gave me a speech about how im on the wrong side of history etc etc#and now seeing it all over social media even more often than before#im happy to see it#but#i wish i could join#without becoming a target again#i already lost everything but i know i could lose it again#but is it that important?#it's my only connection to my heritage#esp now that i moved there are no ppl from my country here#i cant talk to anyone#i can barely speak the local language here#they've sent someone to 'watch me' to make sure i am not doing stuff they dont like under the guise of 'helping me'
