queerness under apartheid

#free palestine #queering the map #i think of this everytime someone opens their stupid mouth to say 'but palestinians are homophobic' as if that justifies ethnic cleansing #it makes me so angry and so heartbroken

I love being Palestinian. No apartheid, no genocide, no white person will take that from me. I have people tell me I should hate myself, or that they feel sorry for me almost everyday. Being Palestinian isn't a pity. That shouldn't be the first thing people think when someone says their Palestinian. They should think of the culture, the music, the food, our resistance and spirit. not the genocide claiming our lives. We are more than this genocide. Stop treating Palestinians like pity projects simply for being Palestinian.

i keep seeing ppl talking about how theyre ugly sobbing over that shitty pirate show. do you not have shame to care more about a racist antiblack TV show glorifying slave owners, written by a zionist racist supporter of genocide. that you have more tears to shed for that blight on the human race than you do for the millions of palestinians going through horrors unimaginable. where's your ugly sobbing for them?

#white queers fucking do better #paptalk #ofmd #our flag means death #(waving a bat at a hornet's nest lmao)#palestine #zionism #antiblackness #i frankly dont give a shit if you cared about that show at some point #listening to black people and listening to palestinians should have instilled in you some semblance of pain and empathy for us #that it would cause you to become disillusioned towards this media #the difference between ofmd and harry potter is that jkrs transphobia affects white people #but white people cannot bring themselves to give a single shit about black people or palestinians #or frankly any person of color so long as their struggles dont affect white people in any way

Credits to mattxiv on instagram for the original post.

This kills me that they think queer Palestinians don't already exist. Just because you don't hear about them doesn't mean they aren't here. They just have to hide.

Laws won't make us disappear. They will just force us to hide more. It's a dangerous way of thinking to believe that making our identities illegal will make us disappear. Because what stops them from making us illegal in the rest of the world then? They're already trying to erase us, if they now start to think they can make us cease to exist just with a bunch of laws, you can be sure that they will try as hard as they can.

Queers existed before straight bigots gave us the authorisation to exist. We didn't pop up when you made us legal. We fought for our rights. We rioted. We said "We're here, we're queer, get used to it" long before you graced us with the right to walk by your sides. We were here before. We'll be here forever. No matter what you do, no matter the laws. We've always existed and we'll always exist.

We're here. And we're queer.

#i should probably tag this but now that my serious talk is over i have no idea what to say #the eloquence lasted for 5 minutes lmao #queer community #queer pride #queer #queer issues #queer struggles #queer history #palestine #queers for palestine #palestine genocide #free gaza #israel palestine conflict #palestinians #palestine gaza #gaza

No pins in sight to showcase demands for a ceasefire -words and actions to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. THIS is real solidarity and making a political statement. I have said this before but there are no ethical billionaires and that includes Beyonce and Taylor Swift

Also, the guy giving the ugly look in the middle... I suspect you're part of the problem.

"go to palestine and see how they treat you" okay. i did. they treated me like normal. i'm palestinian and queer and they treated me just fine. but you know where i was treated like shit for being queer??? the u.s. of fucking a.

#i hate that argument “go to palestine and see how they treat you” because like lol. im a queer palestinian #palestinians are very queer #many of my palestinian friends and even family are queer or queer supporting #because we're educated. palestinians are extremely educated because we use knowledge as a tool of our liberation #and bc we're educated we are also accepting of queer identities #like seriously man. if you genuinely think all palestinians are homophobic then you've got some extreme racism problems #palestine #free palestine #that being said obviously there are homophobia problems in palestine #and all around the world #palestine isn't special with the homophobia #but we gotta be normal about this guys. we don't have time for queer liberation because we're too busy fighting for our basic human rights #we can work on queer liberation once palestine is freed

RASHA'S CALL TO ACTION

Just wanted to share one of my favorite artists. Bashar Murad has been integral to my creative process for years now - I am incapable of putting together a single writing playlist without his songs. I cannot recommend his music (and videos) enough.

#bashar murad #free palestine #queer creators #pride #palestine #while I would like to go into detail my language skills are not that great #and I don’t want to interpret things wrong etc etc #but I love him and if you’re looking to support Palestinian artists #here’s a voice that shouldn’t be forgotten

Why do queer people have to "tolerate homophobes" until the homophobes are Palestinian and undergoing a violently racist genocide. Why is it "Palestinians are homophobic" until the Palestinians are queer and still undergoing the same violently racist genocide.

Palestine books at the local queer bookshop!

[Image id: a small table with books laid out on it. A small sign reads: BOOKS ABOUT PALESTINE AND/OR BY PALESTINIAN AUTHORS, with a photograph of the Palestinian flag. The books on the table are: "Environmental Warfare in Gaza" by Shourideh C. Molavi, "The Skin and Its Girl" by Sarah Cypher, "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi, "queer palestine and the empire of critique" by Sa'ed Atshan, "Salt Houses" by Hala Alyan, "You Exist Too Much" by Zaina Arafat, "Freedom Is A Constant Struggle" by Angela Davis, "My Name is Rachel Corrie", and "Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear" by Mosab Abu Toha. /end id]

I got copies of You Exist Too Much and Things You May Find Hidden in My Ear, and the cashier was reading the Hundred Years War. 🇵🇸

Hi I’ve seen some people go “Nex’s murder is awful but don’t forget about Palestine” and I’m here to say DONT DO THAT.

These are both situations that deserve attentions. They are both wars founded on colonization rhetoric and racism. They are both valid and incredibly important to talk about.

I know it’s difficult to see, but Native Americans are suffering everyday. American and Canadian politics/news outlets are just VERY good at hiding the thousands of Natives who have died to malicious neglect. Thousands have over the last 150 years of treaties and Millions have died collectively.

These numbers run parallel to the Palestinian genocide for very similar reasons. Genocide is genocide no matter how you split it. So:

FIGHT for Palestinian Rights and Freedom

AND

FIGHT for Indian Rights and Freedom

Don’t separate ranks, don’t disuade discussion and demand for change, and certainly do not create spaces for White martyrdom to continue to fuel colonization and genocide.

Doing ANY of that IS contributing to colonization, and unlearning is a bitch process for all of us! That’s okay. Be okay with grieving and fighting together, never apart.
