Hello,I absolutely love your words in this time of revolution
You're doing everyone proud!
Thank you so much for this. It's actually been a while since I've last said anything on this account, mainly because I've just been so mentally tired. But knowing that my words are making people round and/or inspired to take their own action means the world to me.

"Many Palestinian Christians are unable to celebrate Easter this year, as Israel’s bombardment of Gaza continues.
"Gaza’s Christian community of less than 1,000 people is facing threats of extinction. Palestinian Christian pastor Rev. Dr. Munther Isaac shares his message for the world about the plight of Palestinians this Easter." from AJ Plus, 31/Mar/2024:
“Israel is committing genocide.” Yes. They are. But so is the US. The US is 100% complicit in this, and Israel would not have been able to do as much without the help of the US. I’m disgusted to be living in a country that is complicit in the literal MURDER of civilians. Men, women, children, elderly, families. All dead because of Israel AND the US. This needs to STOP.
What is your personal opinion on the etymological roots of the word Orange and how the origins of the word reflect English history and the human psyche?
i actually have no idea how to answer this as I have no background in linguistics and have no idea how the word orange came about. However, I think (I can't really remember right now) oranges aren't naturally occurring, and are rather a product of citron and sour oranges being crossbred. (Almost all citrus we have today came from citron, sour oranges, or kumquat, I believe.)
Judaism and Zionism are fundamentally different and cannot be correlated. [x]
WRONG! Antizionism is antisemitism, every single jew who has ever existed (even those who may call themselves antizionist) has a connection to israel, and it's not up to you to play semantics about it.
There are many rabbis (Jewish community leaders and those who interpret the Torah, as well as many Jewish people, some Orthodox as well, that have been saying that Zionism and Judaism are different.
As far as my beliefs go, I am more willing to believe those who know and practice Judaism over some random people on the internet telling me what I should think.
How do you see the end of this conflict? Will there be a place for the jews and the arabs?
as of right now, I cannot really imagine how the conflict sill end. However, I do hope that it ends in a way that will benefit both Palestinians and Jews.
the white western world believes the famine and death of black and brown people is integral and natural to our existence and that is why there is such little care and disregard and eagerness to portray palestine and sudan as anything but genocide
