I know I know I know that the this didn't start on Oct 7th is a great thing to remind people of and and it's educational and all. But I can't help being bitter. I can't help thinking, really? You didn't know the situation in Palestine until now? You need people to over and over again prove how long this has been going on.
When you saw the news reports in 2021, in 2017, in 2014, 2011...when you heard "it's complicated", when you heard to the Zionist propaganda, when you saw the US publicly back Israel, you didn't for one second think, huh, maybe I should look into this. When you came across that one headline on Twitter about a child being arrested or killed by the IDF, no part of you went, let me look into this?
Not understanding the extent of Israels occupation i can get, but not even being aware of it? Until last year. How does that happened. I get so fucking upset when I realize how many people, just, took what was told to them, at face value, by the people who have, historically, backed every evil thing ever, and just went, yeah, you know what, I'm not going to do any reading on my own. And okey I get it I'm Muslim and was raised in the middle east so we were all basically made to be aware of the reality of Palestine since we were children. But my GOD people. How do you just, ignore that? A conflict that big, so ongoing. Did you not see the wall being put up and go, wait a second. Did you not see the checkpoints, and pause, just for a moment. Did you not ever stop, and just think?

"it's like penguins. penguins, in nature, when one is sick, or when one is very injured, the other penguins surround it and prop it up. they walk around it until that penguin can walk on it's own. that's kind of what the cast did for me." — matthew perry about his fellow friends.
