sorry if this is a dumb question and i understand if you don't want to answer but do you have links to posts explaining why israel isn't an apartheid state? i swear i read posts like that on your blog before but i don't know how to refind them
Israeli Arabs have legal equality with Jews. Same restaurants, same pools, same seats on the bus, same voting rights. I would favorably compare the treatment of Israeli Arabs with that of any minority group in any country on Earth.
The West Bank has a military occupation, with (pretty fast) checkpoints and no right to vote about the government running that military. Military occupations are bad and some of us have been against this particular one for decades. The anti-occupation movement hasn't gotten anywhere, they've just been stuck. Being stuck in a military occupation for X more years doesn't make it apartheid, just like being stuck in a bad marriage for X more years doesn't make you divorced. Meanwhile, the 2020 Abraham Accords showed that multiple Arab states were willing to accept this unchanging status quo and deal with Israel as it is. Those two factors - the stagnant, unchanging nature of the occupation, and the clear loss of interest in the Palestinian cause - combined to have the latest crop of awareness-raising college interns at some shifty NGOs try to force change by abracadabra'ing together a new concept of "apartheid" that exists solely for Israel. And it is working, just like "Christ-killer" and "stabbed Germany in the back" worked.
In 2010, Human Rights Watch published an extremely critical report on Israel's occupation of the West Bank. Dragged them up one wall and down the other. Yet there was no accusation of "apartheid" there. In the report, page 33, they cited a lawsuit by the Association for Civil Rights in Israel that had said it was apartheid for the West Bank military occupation authorities to ban Palestinians from driving on Highway 443 after repeated firebombings / shootings against Israelis. The Israeli High Court ruled that it was inappropriate to ban Palestinians from the road, and it re-established their equal driving access - they have had it ever since. The court also said that the accusation of apartheid behind that now-ended ban was dishonest, because the security concerns were not based on race; there were and are no "Jewish-only" roads anywhere, even when WB Palestinians were denied road access, Israeli Arabs could and did drive there. The HRW 2010 report included a long summary of that finding, without challenge. As bad as they saw Israel, they agreed it wasn't apartheid.
Then in 2020 came the Abraham Accords, so while nothing at all had changed in the administration of the West Bank, in 2021 HRW said it actually was apartheid. It really is that simple. The most famous legal convention banning apartheid specifies that it is race-based. HRW instead went with a different legal convention on apartheid, one that says it could be based on national origin if it involves discrimination among citizens of the same country.... and then they up and added their own twist to that, saying they will consider it apartheid if there is discrimination based on national origin AMONG PEOPLE WHO AREN'T CITIZENS OF THE SAME COUNTRY. In a very real sense, HRW declared Mexico is an apartheid state because Americans can't vote in its elections.
In 2022, Amnesty International followed with their own report, saying that not only was the military occupation now "apartheid," but that Israel itself had been an apartheid state ever since it was established in 1948. This moral perversion had the effect of saying Israel literally INVENTED apartheid since in May 1948 it didn't even exist in South Africa yet. It also said that Amnesty International - founded 1961 - had been looking at an apartheid the whole time but never recognized it. To make things even more dishonest, Amnesty said they "are not claiming Israeli conditions are analogous to South Africa," meaning anything that shows how Israel is different from South Africa doesn't count. They're using the South African word for the South African policy but it's actually not like South Africa at all so be quiet, neener neener no backsies.
I shouldn't have to take that seriously. Neither should anyone. Palestinians and their advocates should be ashamed to have to lean on such an obvious bad-faith lie.
Nelson Mandela, who died in 2013, never once accused Israel of apartheid, and instead repeatedly said he supported Zionism and a 2-state solution. Mandela's lawyer, still alive, says the accusation is a lie. Mansour Abbas, leader of the Arab Islamist party that joined Israel's governing coalition in 2021, says the accusation is a lie. And if people want to bandy around NGO business cards, here is the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2017:
“The Red Cross was very familiar with the regime that prevailed in South Africa during the apartheid period, and we are responding to all those who raise their claim of apartheid against Israel: No, there is no apartheid here, no regime of superiority of race, of denial of basic human rights to a group of people because of their alleged racial inferiority. There is a bloody national conflict, whose most prominent and tragic characteristic is its continuation over the years, decades-long, and there is a state of occupation. Not apartheid.”
There's a lot more you can see about the shifty terminology, unreliable sourcing, and longstanding culture of antisemitism and racism within Amnesty International. People who can cite chapter and verse of why the Salvation Army, Autism Speaks, Chik-Fil-A and Harry Potter are problematic should not be shocked.

reader, who is part of task force 141 is wrongly accused of being a traitor. but for some reason, despite all the torture they endured, they still forgive them.
hi guys :D im still quite new to tumblr and this is my first fic im gonna be starting. i have written before on ao3, wattpad, notes (for practise), a failed unfinished book so hopefully this will go well!
writers block may happen at some point because im kinda planning for it to be a series, if not, just a one-part fic. chances are, i wont have the energy to proof-read so if there are mistakes, please dont mind it :)
i got this idea from @ghostslittlegf . i have reblogged the post that they made that gave me the inspiration. <3
anyways, enough rambling, enjoy! <33
!tw! : t0rture, mentions of g0re, abvse, swearing, foul language, manipulation
part 1
Tumblr media
it wasn't you. not your fault.
days pass, and all sense of time was lost for you. you don't know how long you have been bound to this chair for, and the same nauseating scent of old blood and soil was not making it any better.
the task force placed you in a holding cell underground. the entire place was empty; it was just you, and the chilling, hollow echoes of whatever slight movement you bore from the tight knots gnawing at your wrists and ankles. your skin was blistering from the constant friction of the jagged ropes and stinging. fear was eating you alive, consuming more and more of you as each day passed. hell, it felt like an eternity down here.
the task force, the previous week, had encountered a leak in information that meant the entire team was put under danger. they were sure it was someone within the base, as nobody else would just have access to such private information.
one day, you were just in the gym training when a few men took you aside, captain price at their heels. his eyes were dark and you could see levels of anger rising inside him. you were confused, obviously. had you done anything wrong? no, you hadn't. the next thing you knew, you were here. bound and restricted.
but you didn't do anything?
"you will tell us the truth, is that clear?" price spat as he bent down to meet your eye-level. behind him were 3 other people with pistols in their hand, loaded. you couldn't make out their faces as it was dimly lit.
"truth? what do you mean?" you question, utterly confused and a little scared of this situation. your eyes dart around the cell. you've never been down here before, and everything seems so foreign. the walls were slightly cracked, the large bricks uneven in placement. moss grew from the cracks, and the stench of wet soil creeped into your nose. it was cold and damp, and disgusting. these were the holding cells you never wanted to go down into, yet here you were, forced to be in one as a prisoner.
"dont play dumb." price sneered, his face closer to yours. you backed away instinctively, looking away to avoid his gaze.
"i really don't know what you mean..." you reply with some thought whilst slightly shaking your head, trying to make sense of this whole situation. price grabs at the arm-rests of the chair with some force. it startles you but you listen to him carefully.
"we know you betrayed us. that information that got leaked? yeah, well now the entire base is in danger. we're sabotaged, all because one little birdie decided to run their traitor mouths to enemy bases." he says, sing-songingly on the last part.
your eyes widen a little at such an accusation. never would you even think of betraying the task force. they were like family to you, and the accusation sickened you deeply. even the thought was sickening. "what? you're accusing me? but why!? what's your evidence?" you desperately pry for answers. all this was so sudden.
"oh, evidence? there's plenty of evidence, sweetheart." he replies, a sarcastic and irritated chuckle woven into his speech. he stands back up and looks back at the men behind him. he nods and they walk towards you.
"what? price...what are they doing?" you cry, your voice shaking and unstable out of fear. you watch as one walks behind you, the other two standing in front on either side. price walks away, pulling the cell door open and leaving.
"price? price! captain!" you yell, but no-one answers other than your screams that reverberate emptily off the cold, damp stone.
Tumblr media
you wake to the sound of your cell door sliding open. it slams forcefully when it reaches the other side, which jolts you back into your senses. you blink away your exhaustion and look up at the dark figure that walks towards you. you try make out their face, and distinguish them as simon.
"simon...is that you?" you weakly mutter. your body was on the edge of breaking from the week-long physical and mental torture you had to endure.
he doesn't say anything and just walks towards you. his demeanor seemed calm and stoic but you knew what was about to happen. you took a deep breath to the best of your ability, your ribs hurting in the process, as you anticipated what he was going to do to you.
"listen, we've been a'this for a week now. you still refuse to tell us the truth. we've been too gentle with you. now, tell us the truth. or else i'll 'ave to resort to more...brutal ways." he stared at you, his gaze of pure rage that he managed to keep controlled.
"i'm innocent...i truly have nothing to say." you mumble, knowing it wasn't going to change anything.
suddenly, you feel the brute force of simon's fist against your cheek. you go limp at the pain of the punch, but you bite back tears.
"tell. me. the. truth." he demands, his voice becoming more stern and loud.
"i really don't have anything...i promise you the evidence against me are forged, and the accusations are false!" you whine, voice breaking.
another punch.
"i forgive you all for this...once you find out i'm truly innocent." you mumble with a sob in your voice, a warm, twitching smile on your face as tears brim in your eyes.
simon's eyes only narrow at you.
"i don't give a shit for whatever trickery you're pulling right now. i want the truth! so spit it out!" he demands again, just below a yell. you look away as you try contain your tears from the pain.
"i wont hesitate you batter you right now. i won't go easy like i did before, just a harsh hit here and there. tell the truth! the truth!" he yells this time, but you stay silent. your lip quivers as you try think of what to say, as you truly had no 'truth' to confess. you're not the traitor, you're innocent.
another hard blow hits your face, then another, and another. the abuse slowly turns into a result of his anger. simon had his denials, but the evidence changed his mind immediately. he was mad, infuriated that you betrayed the entire team, or at least, he thought.
"i'll forgive you, i promise." you choke under your breaking breath, trickles of blood running down from your nose and mouth.
"the truth!" he yells again before delivering another hit.
"i'll forgive you all...no matter what."

So far Israel has bombed in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and now Yemen (and of course all areas of Palestine) but still claim to be the victim. It's even more sickening when Western countries and media repeat these asinine lies with a straight face.

"We're sorry. We should have listened to you."
Whumpee opened their mouth, about to accept Team Leader's apology, only to pause.
When the accusations hit, Team Leader and the rest of the team immediately abandoned them. They kicked Whumpee out of the team, and they all glared at them with nothing but discust. Whumpee has proof that they didn't do it, but they refused to listen. They all abandoned them without a second thought.
They hated Whumpee secretly. They didn't want them around.
Why should Whumpee accept the apology after what they had done?
Whumpee turned to face Team Leader, their glare so intense that even the brave Team Leader cowered down.
"Yeah, you should have," Whumpee growled, their voice filled with hatred. "Now my life is ruined, and Whumper is on the loose, thanks to every single one of you."

Taking a break - in crisis.
Greetings. I don’t normally front and I’m not normally on this blog. I am the gatekeeper of our system.
Recently, a user who members of my system have brought up concerns about in the past, decided to make false claims about certain alters in my system. She mentioned these members by name, and said they have done things like attacking another user and false reporting. She twisted the words of my alters to villainize them, and spoke ill about the labels they use to define themselves.
Our system has been severely traumatized in the past by individuals in online spreading false rumors about us. It is what caused an alter in our system to split, and now this alter is having to deal with people online talking about them behind their back and making hurtful assumptions.
We have been struggling immensely lately, and learning of this user’s vendetta against these alters has put our whole system in an extremely bad place. This ordeal has been the straw that broke the camel’s back, and I am concerned for the safety of the system.
So here is where I put my foot down.
The damage this user has done to my alters goes deeper than she could ever understand. Her actions have reminded our system of past trauma, and her actions came at a time when we were already unstable.
As a result of this, I will be taking my system to a crisis stabilization unit. I am worried these parts will cause the body significant harm.
I am not sure how long my parts will be gone from this blog. It will at least be a few days as we seek treatment, but Kip and Alucard may be gone from this blog indefinitely.
My parts wrote a post detailing some issues with the user who slandered our system. You can add block-evading, making false accusations, and spreading hateful, targeted rumors to the list of horrendous things she’s done.
I will include a link to a post my alters wrote in the past warning people about this user.
And when my parts return, make no mistake
We do not want followers of Sophieinwonderland interacting with us. Again:
WE DO NOT WANT FOLLOWERS OF SOPHIEINWONDERLAND INTERACTING WITH US. Please show us some decency and respect our wishes.
She has traumatized our system without a second glance. She has no issues with lying about other users, block-evading, talking down on people, and spreading legitimately harmful rumors. This is in addition to the problems addressed by my alters in their DNI post.
We will not be available to field questions. We have been to a stabilization unit before, and they will take our mobile device. Upon our return, my parts may be willing to make some clarifications. This will hopefully be the only time I have to show my face online.
This blog’s queue has two posts in it, and will remain unaffected. They’ll post as scheduled. To those of you who stick with us through this trying time, thank you. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. But if I don’t get my system to a safe place soon, we may not be around to post on this blog ever again.
Best,
Kiki. And Parker, who helped me navigate Tumblr in order to create this post.

The media is being pressured to #believewomen or risk being automatically canceled for misogyny even though the women exploiting this fact have no problem with their own pernicious misandry.

Published: Jan 14, 2016
Male victims of domestic abuse are reluctant to report attacks because they are often subjected to false accusations themselves, according to new research.
More than 700,000 men each year are thought to fall victim to violent attacks at the hands of their partners, but many are too ashamed to report the offences.
It was thought much of the underreporting was due to men feeling embarrassed by the stigma of being a domestic violence victim.
But new research has suggested that many of those who do come forward risk being arrested themselves, after their abusers make false accusations against them.
Dr Jessica McCarrick, a Senior Lecturer in Counselling Psychology at Teesside University, who carried out a study with male abuse victims, said they were often treated with suspicion by the criminal justice system.
She said their experiences were not only dismissed by some police officers, but they could even find themselves under arrest when their partners turned the tables on them.
Dr McCarrick said: “Men find it incredibly difficult to talk about their experiences of domestic violence because of the shame and emasculation they feel is associated with it.
“To find the courage to speak out, only to be accused of violence themselves, is incredibly disheartening and ultimately prevents countless men from reporting intimate partner violence.”
Abuse charities also claim they are finding an increasing number of male victims coming to them to seek advice after becoming the subject false accusations.
Mark Brooks, chairman of the Mankind Initiative charity, which takes calls from around 1,000 men per year, said: “Over the past ten years we have seen a steady increase in the number of callers to our helpline stating they have been the victims of false allegations.
“The type of thing we hear is ‘my wife or girlfriend has said if I leave, or tell anyone, she will say I was the one attacking her and she was just defending herself.”
“It is an extremely powerful weapon in the armoury of the perpetrator and leaves the victim feeling trapped and helpless.”
Police forces insist they are making great strides in tackling the problem with the number of women convicted of domestic abuse quadrupling in the last decade from 806 in 2004/05 to 3,735 in 2013/14.
But the problem remains still largely hidden and campaigners insisting much more needs to be done to encourage victims to come forward and have the confidence to report an offence.
One male victim who took part in the study, but did not want to be named described how he had been arrested on three separate occasions following false allegations by his wife.
He said: “In the latest incident I made the initial complaint to police as my wife assaulted me. But when they arrived, they showed little concern and instead arrested me because my wife made a counter allegation.
“I certainly feel that more compassion and empathy needs to be shown towards male victims of domestic violence.”
Dr McCarrick, said his account was not uncommon adding: “Within my research, the predominant experience is of men being arrested under false charges and their disclosures of being the victim are not taken seriously, despite having evidence.”
She said domestic abuse must be viewed as a human issue rather than a gender issue with more services and support available to enable men to seek help and support.
She added: “Campaigners and researchers made waves in the 1970’s, which had a positive impact and improved service provision for women – it is time to do the same for men.”
“Promoting awareness of the plight of male survivors may encourage men to report abuse and feel assured that they will be taken seriously.
“Intimate partner violence is an issue which affects men and women within both heterosexual and homosexual relationships and I would like to see increased funding to improve service provision and development in order to support all people affected by this issue.”

Rather than self-defense, the most usual motivations for violence by women, like the motivations of men, are coercion, anger, and punishing misbehavior by their partner (Cascardi & Vivian, 1995; Fiebert & Gonzalez, 1997; Kernsmith, 2005). For example, Pearson (1997) reports that 90% of the women she studied assaulted their partner because they were furious, jealous, or frustrated and not because they tried to defend themselves. These motives are parallel to the motivations of men perpetrators.

Looking back on old classic literature with a modern mindset is interesting because it reminds you that a lot of concepts are a lot older than you think.
You know how people like to shame white women who accuse black men of assault, sexual or otherwise, when these men are just trying to live?
That's exactly what Curley's wife does to Crooks in Of mice and men.

One of the unfortunate things about false accusations is that some people will blindly support the accuser even if evidence points to the contrary

Truth or There
by FRecklis
T, 46k, WIP, wangxian
Summary: A misunderstanding during a life and death situation leads to another life and death situation, leaving both Wei Ying and Lan Zhan struggling. Family is important. The Lans, Nies, Wens and Jiang siblings step in to make things right. Wei Ying learns that he is not alone.
Kay's comments: Whew, wow, this story! What a punch in the heart it is. The angst is heavy with this one. Basically, Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian were both in a car accident together. There car crashed on a bridge and Lan Wangji fell into the ice-cold water. Wei Wuxian jumped after him and saved him, but following this - he gets arrested! And no medical attention! ACAB (except Nie Mingjue in this story). Thankfully, he does get saved eventually and put into the hospital as well and that's where a large portion of this story plays, the focus switching between mostly Lan Xichen, Lan Qiren, Nie Mingjue and Wen Qing as they get behind what caused the accident and as they watch the boys fight for their live. Despite the Jiangs being mentioned in the summary, they're not really part of this story so far. Wei Wuxian had been living with the Lans after Madam Yu kicked him out when he was younger. This story is so well-written and the tension is marvelous. I really enjoyed the different point of views and how confused it all felt in the beginning, as the characters were confused themselves. No one had a complete picture of what happened and the revealations come slowly and devastatingly. Just wow. What a story. Now I know, that this story is still a WIP and that many shy away from WIPs, but I believe you should still read. It's just so good.
Excerpt: Wangji cannot be consoled. His face is buried in Uncle’s chest and he sobs for Wuxian until the doctor decides it’s too much stress for him right now and sedates him. As soon as they settle him back in bed, Uncle turns to him. “Xichen…Wuxian…” He chokes back what he is about to say and swallows thickly, and Xichen finds himself copying the action. What Wangji said leaves them with more questions than answers. Wei Wuxian was in the car with him. That’s about all Wangji can recall that is a firm, solid memory. The rest of his explanation comes in pieces. There’s a phone call. Them getting in the car together. An assignment. A coffee shop. Wuxian asking him to buckle up…there is no sequence, nothing that connects the dots, nothing that tells them what actually happened. Nothing that makes any actual sense, but he is distraught because he knows that if Wei Ying was with him in the car, then he should be here with him in the hospital, unless something else had happened to him.
modern setting, pov multiple, angst and hurt/comfort, heavy angst, hypothermia, car accidents, major character injury, misunderstandings, false accusations, recovery, angst with a happy ending, good uncle lan qiren, good sibling lan xichen, lan wangji whump, wei wuxian whump, police brutality, good friend nie mingjue, bad parent yu ziyuan, college/university, stalking
~*~
(Please REBLOG as a signal boost for this hard-working author if you like – or think others might like – this story.)
