hi hello this is your reminder that google are hypocrites(and bds)
the lay offs were on the 18th this month, pretending to celebrate a native culture as you help the military that is actively ethnically cleansing them, and has been for years, is highly hypocritical and just an attempt to save face
in case someone forgot, google is on BDS' "pressure" list, which means it isn't necessary a 100% boycott but rather a target for pressuring and limiting your use of their services to push them towards cutting ties with israel
additional context on dabka:
it is a folk dance from levantine countries like lebanon, jordan, syria, and palestine. with possible origins in ancient phoenician and/or canaanite cultures
Tell me again how israel cares about the hostages? Tell me how again they still trying "oh so hard" to get the hostages back?
There are currently over 8000 Palestinians in israeli jails, most of them convicted without a trial, most of them are innocent and over a 100 are serving life sentences.
Yet when hamas proposes a deal that allows ALL the children, women, elderly or ill to be released for only a fraction of the Palestinians detainees israel calls it unrealistic?
Israel doesn't care about hostages. Never has and never will. They will continue to use this as an excuse to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians.
Anyone who still supports israel is just delusional at this point.
This is once again absolutely indisputable acts of war of aggression. The "supreme international crime".
Locals reportedly say civilians have been impacted, while Israel of course claims it's Hezbollah.
It does not matter if the one State may claim that an opponent militia is present in another's territory, it became settled international law long ago.
A State's "right to self-defense" ends the moment any armed attack from another's territory has been ended and unless those conditions are met they are NOT allowed to send troops or shoot into the territory of another without invitation from the territory-holder or by mandate from the UN Security Council.
Under any other conditions, any "defense" a State may want to do must be in its own territory, not inside others' because plain geometry tells anyone that if every State would overlap each other in their claimed "self-defense", the whole world would be at war and the devastated would be the civilians and especially the previously impoverished.
“I don’t talk about Palestine because I don’t like going into politics : /” fuck you. The existence of Muslims and MENA people has always been political to the West. Their lives and their deaths. Their happiness and anger and sorrow. Their love and hatred. Their sweat and blood and tears. Everything has always been reduced to politics when they are more than you could ever begin to comprehend. Palestine will be free. And so will Sudan and Pakistan and Lebanon and Yemen and Syria and every other country, place and people who suffer only for their pain to be called political by those responsible for and complicit in it
