"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

Came for the booty pic, stayed for the humanity regarding Gaza 🙏

🥰💕 whats the point in being painfully desirable if you lack empathy and basic human compassion???

The concept of co-existing is so alien to the Capitalist, to the Zionist, because profit and expansion is only saught and extrated through division. In which, division can only be perpetuated through violence. It is a cycle that must be uprooted and destroyed. It is a cycle we are subconsciously upholding.

Co-existing, in a world with no borders and no hatred, no inequality and no war, is not a fantasy; revolution does not have to remain a dream.

When the people unite, we shall see the true enemy— when we see the true enemy, they will have no where to run.

Capitalism shall have nowhere to run.

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

i keep getting angry so im gonna channel it into cleaning for a bit.

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.

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

pro-palestine ≠ antisemitism

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.

FREE PALESTINE TIL ITS MF BACKWARDS🇵🇸

Hey babes listen bc I think were idiots,

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.

Conclusion?

Free Palestine til' its Backwards!

sources, sources

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

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.

uhhhhhh free palestine til it’s backwards

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.

I wont stop. Free palestine til its backwards

i am and always will be pro-palestine.

FREE PALESTINE TIL ITS BACKWARDS 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

free palestine til its backwards.

cool and kind w/ a diamond mind

Alaikum asalaam 🌠🌅. It is of pleasantry that I challenge you intellectually, for this is what defines the mode of our existential chemical intertwinement. Fanciful and practical were blurred amongst one another, yes? Well good indeed, for I believe dreams may come true thus my aptness toward delusion. I once had a friend of African descent who told me, "king Suleiman, do you know the reason why women are placed among the children, beyond their care for them?"  I replied, "why no, my friend, why?"  He went on, "because women mentally are of a lower stature than man himself, and therefore are nearer the wavelength of naivety and ignorance akin to that of children, than men. The men talk business and politics while the women remain in the background amongst the young, left to do what they most aptly may - to care for the inferior ones". I thought how ridiculous, and sexist, and inaccurate. And yet so it is, we find oft times that the cultures whereupon Islam resides are left in the backward thinking times of indigenous-ness while the rest of mankind, of which many are less religious and spiritual, show improvement and innovation and progress and leading-edge growth. The reformation of the mind whilst keeping the principles of Islam in tact - that's the greatest jihad for each of us individually, and as an ummah. Where are the great artists who are Muslim? The cultural icons. Where are the great athletes who are Muslim and bring esteem to the young teenage boys and girls who look up to such athleticism. Where are even the lawyers and doctors and professors who seek to change the system toward the betterment of humanity rather than to maintain the legitimacy of the systemic quo that is doing the oppressing like a turnstile rotating in its positioning? You know, prescribe a drug to be taken off of a drug. Side with the accused for the sake of needed experience and monetary gain rather than because truth resides on his side. Last week i attended a speaking engagement at NYU, featuring a young NYU student body leader who shared with us his thoughts on 2 verses from the Qur'an which touch upon how Allah is the all-Knowing, All-seeing, as the Creator of both the Heavens of the Earth; how He has made us into tribes and nations and races so that we may get to know one another. One thing led to another and the featured guest speaker began telling us his story of a time he was in the Midwest, and on his way back to the airport to catch a flight to NYC. He ordered an Uber, whose driver happened to be an avid Trump supporter. The driver was curious and wanted to speak-on and debate why the Muslim brother was for Hilary and against Trump. One thing led to another and the Muslim brother found himself shot in the arm. No, just kidding. In fact, the Muslim brother stated he was not in the mood whatsoever to have a discussion with this Trump supporter. To him, the mere fact that this man was a supporter of Trump totally turned off the Muslim brother and eliminated the mutual interest and respect he had for the Midwestern man. To cut a long story short, at the end of the 3 hour ride en route the airport, the Uber driver was pleased to have met the Muslim brother and stated, if anybody ever injured his daughter, to tell him and he would bring a gun and shoot the man up who did that to his daughter. Quite dramatic indeed, but filial love and loyalty is the message, not the violence. The Muslim brother got scared and feared for his own well-being. With that said, the Muslim brother gave the Midwestern Trump supporter his phone number upon request, and yet blocked the man's phone number. So with no replies, how does the Trump man now feel of the way he was treated by the Muslim brother? What is there to be feared in getting to no another whose beliefs are different from our own. How extreme it was for Obama to pay Cuba a visit to resume talks with Castro during his tenure as President. How extreme it is for the Muslims to engage with the communities of the disenfranchised blacks, with the communities of the gays, with the Trump supporting community. If our own leaders fear interacting with the common folks of these community groups and belief systems, then what are the leaders doing for the people they lead; the rest of the Ummah followers? What sort of message and reality is this creating among the Arabs and Muslims themselves, a few of whom tend to be racist toward reverts, converts, African and Malaysian Muslims.. Nothing is to be feared. Only understood. If Allah is the creator of the Heavens and the Earth and all in between, what are we doing fearing Allah's Creations? To heed is wise. To respect takes knowing. To know takes courage. Knowing can only get understanding. We fear the other too much, more than the other fears us at times as proven in the story above. Who will bridge the gap, the Muslims or the other?  If we are equipped with the great Message of Islam, one of excellence, courage, discipline, and duty, then why do we oft times conform to our most innate cultural biases and limited beliefs garnered out of a lack of study and understanding Islam for it's truest message, that Allah is the creator of all things, and none is to be feared but Him. The mere fact that varying tribes and nations have been created is testament to the differences of humankind; the Jews have the strength of teamwork and loyalty all of humanity would benefit to learn from. The Africans have a spirit all of the humanity may be of benefit to hearken.  The Hispanics have the working efforts of ants. The Chinese contain order and discipline most wish they could possess an ounce of. The Arabs too have been blessed with resources and business wherewithal. The White man is unafraid to claim what he believes belongs to him via his will-power and visionary and worldly desires. We can all learn from the other, including man from woman, tolerant from the racist, constituent from the murderer, and so forth.

What level of Faith do you have? Does your faith sway from time to time, or are you 99% strong-held in the your firm faith in Allah as Him being the one who answers all prayers in it's just and due time.. I myself have gone through ups and downs, as we all have. I have not reached absoluteness yet. I pray when I feel the need for it's assistance. I do best when I am with God at each moment in my life and am living freely and am being myself effortlessly. Sometimes I require prayer, other times my life is the state of prayer itself. If that makes sense...

My vision career wise is to not have a career in the colloquial sense of the term. I will create a livelihood for myself independent of being hired or fired. I am self-sufficient and will continue to create such reality for myself iA. As I am already capable of doing it on a small scale, iA it will increase and grow evermore. My primary means of doing this is via my tennis business (intermediate stage), my  writing business (amateur stage). I do work at times to make more money, but to be a dedicated 10-20 year worker doing a 8 hour shift each day, five days a week.I haven't found a job yet that I am happy doing in such a role. And I will not settle either. Hamduillah though, Allah is good and has blessed me. it just takes some patience and continuous perseverance and hard-work. I am of utmost faith that I will someday (within the next 5 years iA) be of a blessed state. I have various timelines of plans for action for how to make ends meet throughout my life and to garner the appropriated livelihood that is monetarily fruitful. One version of this plan has been to move overseas (to Egypt) in fact, to focus on my investment endeavors. to make such a move, i would first need to save up to $50,000 USD. Hamduillah that is possible. My most profitable business has been giving tennis lessons, subhanallah; and this is in NYC, which is not a tennis city (like California, Atlanta, Florida, etc.).. Thus, the trajectory of my life work is still in progress, however in due time (whether sooner than planned, or later), all connects based upon my own actions and free-will. I could easily give up and settle, but I won't because I know I will achieve what I desire most in my heart. bismillah .. As for my livelihood vision, i am a simple yet systematic, time-efficient and organized.. I do not need a nice expensive car, nor a big television set, nor game consoles or lavish furniture and paintings. I just need a laptop, a bed, some good books, internet connection, a pen, a notepad, my headphones, my microphone, my tennis racket(s) and tennis balls, a basketball, a soccer ball, some dumbbell weights + a portable pull-up bar called the flexrSport, some food (i cook these days but i usually prefer eating out as it's much faster for me- though it is healthier to cook albeit to cook a 30 minute meal and to eat it in less than 10 min -_- me no like ha), a car for expedient travel whence needed, some nice clothes that make me feel good when i wear them (collared shirts, jeans, khaki pants), a couple of pairs of shoes (black dress shoes / worker shoes, tennis shoes, sandals for the shower), some rubber-bands, some cash, a phone for communication, some paper towels, some organic soap - shampoo - tooth paste - deodorant, some hot sauce for the food, a couple of hats, a couple of mirrors, a couple of lights, and all of this in a nice little place that is near a mesjid iA, and if I have only $2Million, then i am willing to buy a home for a cost of up to $400,000 at most. iA then the other $1.6million would be divy'd up as I have planned already including to (pay zakat) $60k (Palestine kids|zaytuna school|mesjid built)... til then, i'll be renting and saving $ and reinvesting in myself.
