#EDIT: moved organizational tags up so they actually work
#rosie rambles
#in the tags
#hellscape in palestine
#thinking about the whole. yknow. war crime situation in palestine
#and it might just be my brain connecting unconnected dots
#but wasn't there something going around a while back about how to pronounce gaza and palestine
#(bc europeans/americans/whoever are claiming palestinians can't even pronounce 'palestine' correctly
#except they're calling the localized 'palestine' the 'correct' pronunciation which is. so incredibly wrong)
#bc it's been rattling around in my head for a while now. it's more of a falasteen than a pal-ah-stein. falasteen. philistine.
#PHILISTINE. AS IN. THE FUCKING. PEOPLE WHO LIVED THERE ALREADY BY THE TIME MOSES AND THE ISRAELITES SHOWED UP.
#THERE WAS AN ENTIRE SUNDAY-SCHOOL-FAVORITE STORY IN THERE ABOUT IT
#VEGGIETALES MADE AN ADAPTATION OF ONE OF THE FIGHTS
#look. i am very much way too goy and way too sleepy to consider myself an authority on any of this.
#but palestinians were (seemingly) there first.
#then israel (the original nation not the reconstruction we have nowadays) dropped in and was there for a good long while.
#then other nations conquered and un-conquered and conquered some more for a while
#then modern israel came into being. and like. ok. i'm Christian. this is a known fact abt me. but i'm pretty sure our holy book told us we
#won't know the day or the hour of the end of days. and yet there's this push to send Good Jewish People back to israel that's spesrheaded
#by…alleged Christians. who believe that jewish people need to return to israel to signal the end of days.
#which. again. won't be predictable.
#idk where i'm going with this
#i just. i think i'm just getting way too jaded from hearing people irl cheerfully support genocide and being unable to convince them
#that it's Fucking Genocide. or in one specific case
#that it's Fucking Genocide. And That Is BAD
#i think i just needed to straighten out my thoughts a bit before i go to sleep
#just. if we were going to just look at the ancient past. both nations have existed in that plot of land. and peace would be nice.
#however.
#it is Very Clear that one side's definition of 'peace' is 'peace and quiet. because the Others are all dead :)' which is. Not Great!
#augh.
