"You're queer and you support Palestine? Well Hamas is homophobic and the vast majority of Palestinians support Hamas so-"
Putting aside that you have no way of knowing what most Palestinian people think, AND THAT YOUR BOMBS ARE KILLING QUEER PALESTINIANS TOO - and also putting aside the very white tendency to group others when I'm sure in your own country many people are also homophobic - why do you think that matters?
This is a very different situation from countries that are not under an oppressive apartheid regime by illegal settlers like Saudi Arabia, the west's genocidal best friend. The Palestinians are fighting for their lives???
Like I'm sorry but in the very real reality of being bombed daily, I don't think people are backing resistance fighters on their party policies?? I think if there's a guy shooting back at the people who killed my father and mother, then of course I support that guy??
Like think about the luxury you're living in where you think that there're options besides stay alive
Pre-2015 gay marriage was not recognised as a right in the USA, so was the vast majority of people homophobic and therefore undeserving of freedom of movement or even the right to life??
My country (in Africa!) had legalised same-sex marriage ten years before you did so by your own logic I have the moral high ground to tell you to shut the fuck up
When the call went up for art, I wasn't sure what I could make to support the Palestinian cause (or if I was even good enough to do so), but I saw Handala, by Haji al-Ali, and it's sat deep with my spirit ever since. So I did what I could. I think we should all do what we can, to help.
Today i was volunteering at church and one of the older volunteers looked at my Kandi and asked if I was a swiftie. One of the worst insults I've ever gotten tbh. I fucking hate Taylor Swift
idk if anyone’s posted it but a usc alumni that i know sent me an email blast from the campus higher-up calling the encampment on campus as “illegal occupation” and that is the most cognitively dissonant shit ive ever laid eyes on in my entire life.
Every time that you root for "decolonization" (read: genocide and Blut und Boden race-warring), remember the fate of South Africa. A nation that went from performing the first successful human heart transplant in history, to a shambling wreck of illiteracy, endemic rape, corruption, and a regime that literally cannot stop stoking racial tensions against its white citizenry. If this is your standard for 'decolonization', I think that what you're telling the actually civilized races of the world is "Fight back, and fight til nobody stands against you, because your mercy and forbearance will be rewarded with the spiteful treachery of idiots and the brute violence of simpletons who pull down your accomplishments because they're too stupid and backwards to do otherwise." For more reading, feel free to check on the GDP per capita of Israel vis-a-vis that of its Arab neighbors, for a glimpse into what a post-Israel (read: post-genocide) Palestine will look like.
lmao I love it when the bootlicking dipshits of the world just get to the point and start rooting for fucking Apartheid south Africa of all places and throwing around words like "civilised". South Arica pre 1994 was on of the most viciously cruel and exploitative nations in the world, every on of it's (incredibly exaggerated) accomplishments built directly on an entire system of gut churning atrocity. That regime was a fucking blight on humanity to such an obvious extent that even the Imperial nations of the world couldn't bear to support it directly. And the problems South Africa has today are due to the structural of remnants of the old apartheid regime iteslf and the various indigenous reactions and adaptions to it combined with the general effects of existing in the periphery of a global system of neo-colonialism capitalism (which is also why the "Arab" countries of the world have such a low GDP compared to the European and North American Imperial core) rather than any innate moral or intellectual deficiency among the indigenous people. The fact that you're defending Israel along the same lines as South Africa is so hilariously damning. You aren't wrong in one way though; the two nations are very similar end are gonna end up going the same way. Soon they'll be nothing more than history, mourned only by the most cruel and stupid of reactionaries
imagine being an educated white man thinking you can be “witty” about something as serious as a facist state oppressing and massacring the oppressed, you’re on the wrong side of history. i don’t wanna hear anything about the oppressor “deserving to be a state” free palestine til its backwards
it is incredibly evil to weaponize the word antisemitic against palestinians and their supporters, especially when many of the supporters are jewish themselves. this is not about israel being jewish. it is about israel being an apartheid state. it is about israel settling on land that’s not theirs. it’s about israel’s ethnic cleansing of palestine. it’s about israel’s displacement of palestinians from their own homes. it’s about gaza being the biggest open-air prison in the world. it’s about israel having the power to deny 2.2 million people (nearly half of which are children) of electricity, food, and fuel. it’s about fighting for the liberation of the oppressed.
twisting this to be in support of antisemitism is despicable. though i’m sure there are some people who are taking this opportunity to be discriminatory towards jewish people, that is NOT why palestinians are resisting israeli occupation nor is it why the large majority of supporters are in support of palestine.
only caring about violence when it impacts the oppressor is disgusting. only caring about violence when it impacts yt folk is disgusting. western media’s response to this is white supremacy in action.
please read about the history of israel’s illegal occupation of palestinian land.
and please read about the relationship between the united states and israel before taking america’s pro-israel propaganda at face value.
hi boobie, i saw u have a link for palestine on ur pinned post and it’s really made me happy to see that u care. i was wondering do you know much about the situation in congo? where do u stand? x
So since Marvel and the MCU is an extension of Disney and on the official BDS. We're not seeing Captain America 4 right? I know given that its not uncommon knowledge that the MCU is literally military funded anyway but more controversial is recently MCU announced the Israeli Pro-zionist entity "SuperHero" Sabra ( one google search anyway to know bad her character is already). And as far as dependents of Marvel consumerism and content creators go; if you have any shed of basic human decency, you would care about one of the several and heavily censored Genocides thats committed by Israel and funded by the U.S. by displacing and killing the 20,000+ Palestinians. Peoples lives are more important than your content or comforts.
If you care about being anti-Racist you will say Free Palestine
If you care about safe spaces for BPOC you would be against investing your money genocide
If you care about the Genocide that's going on you would amplifying Palestinian voices and using your platform for awareness that's NOT a trend
I am also speaking as Black queer woman as of Sam Wilson's story and journey navigating as a Black man in America with dealing with racism and discrimination taking up the mantle, its burdens of his peoples oppression & juxtaposition of American Exceptionalism and Isiah Bradly's story meta of the Tuskegee experiment and eugenics... I would rather NOT have this be in any proximity to a Pro Settler colonial entity in which its settler-nation that is most likely to sterilized and imprison more than 50% of a population that looks like me.
yes i have theres been times where i wanted to down a bottle of pills because i was really depressed so shut the fuck unless you considered it shut up, half of the comments are decent and you are acting like its putting a cat in the oven go support hamas jew hater.
fuck off and die. you’re a Nazi and the world is better without you in it
The israeli settlers like to use gotcha phrases like antisemitism and nazi to jolt you into stopping talking about the issue, but ive been doing this and studying this for years. Zionists keeping palestinians trapped in a concentration camp for decades were able to get away with it by scaring people this way. But im not scared of you. Im scared FOR the palestinians.
Zionists are the new nazis cuz they are currently attacking the world's largest extermination camp, aka Gaza.
Antisemitism includes anyone that speaks a semitic language, including arabic. And i feel like this was done on purpose. Force antisemitism to mean only anti-jewish to take something else from the arabs that wasnt their land. Now people dont know arabs are semites too.
Anonymous submission: If AIPAC wants to stir💩 up in US elections, we can return the favor. Last night a group of autonomous actors left AIPAC’s DC headquarters a message that their racist, genocidal blood money has no place buying US elections....
...AIPAC, your blood money is not welcome buying US elections, and we will not let you silence the voices calling you out for the genocidal, racist, corrupt oppressors that you are.
