they are not hostages. a lot of the news about "detained" palestinians is fabricated, which is why you dont often see their names on the news - just baseless numbers. "40 people detained" okay, who? israel only rightfully imprisons those with terrorist connections. those people are criminals and deserve to be prisoners. no innocent peolpe are actually rounded up - they are lying to u and it saddens me to see it work
Multiple Palestinians have already come on record to say that they have friends, relatives, people they know incarcerated for no fucking reason. Israeli forces make the rounds in the West Bank every day, pulling innocents from their homes and starving them, beating them up, essentially doing everything they can to humiliate them and break their morale. A lot of these hostages are under 18.
The reason you don’t see their names on the news is because people don’t care about Palestinians. They don’t find their lives worthy of note. They rip down missing people posters of Palestinians in their neighborhoods, and in their place they put up 20 posters of Israeli hostages instead. Using “we don’t see their names on the news!!!” as a gotcha is actually fucking crazy knowing how systematically suppressed the coverage of this genocide has been
While the media’s attention was fixed on celebrities flaunting expensive gowns at the lavish Met Gala, Palestinians in Rafah faced heavy carpet-bombing and more ruthless slaughter by Israel
On April 30th while reporting on the Students Revolution at Columbia University, CNN anchor Kasie Hunt made reference to Hind Rajab as 'A Woman Who Was Killed in Gaza."
Hind Rajab was six years old.
I hate you blue light restlessness I hate you automated call menu I hate you most of the day spent from screen to screen I hate you amazon robot delivery I hate you when did I open this app I hate you new need for background noise I hate you no headphone jack I hate you cars that all look the same I hate you DVDs were born and died in my lifetime I hate you weaker battery with every new iPhone I hate you acceleration and acceleration and to what.
I literally can't psychologically comprehend how someone can pay 75k to attend the MET gala but manage to send zero dollars towards helping people escape a genocide when there were literally protests about said genocide outside the MET gala. You just saw all that and walked in guilt free..?
Re what you said about being Jewish and anti-Zionist right now, I totally feel all of that, and also it just stinks of racism that as a White Jew people tend to take me more seriously when I talk about Palestine than when my Black, Arab, and Muslim friends do. My school’s antiracism club, which I’m sporadically active in, had to ask if I could start showing up more often because the principal wouldn’t listen to them (asking for support for Palestinian students, to be allowed to talk about Gaza in class, etc) since they weren’t “including Jewish voices”. It’s concerning that the club needs me for legitimacy, as if I automatically know more about Palestine than they do or will have better and more nuanced takes than them. I don’t know it just grosses me out. Also I could tell the principal wasn’t really listening when I brought this up with her. I’m worried about the same thing happening next year, and there not being any anti-Zionist Jews left in the school.
yeah its totally racist i hate it. even when i see anti zionist jews try to use this excessive focus on our voices to center palestinians people will still go out of their way to center jews it still is just a really uncomfortable political discourse to be trapped in and its really racist and also just the inevitable outcome of liberal identity politics and standpoint epistemology
