What is it with arab kings and claiming they’re descendants of the prophet lol king abdullah does that too its literally mentioned in the national anthem like his ass aint half white

Honestly they probably think it makes them more legitimate which is completely stupid because even if it was true the only rule regarding descendants of the prophet is that they cannot receive the Zakat. Nothing ever said they are automatically better Muslims or better rulers. It’s also a way to pretend they have been chosen by Allah which imo is a huge blasphemy but that’s an other topic.

Either way they are stupid and need to all be kicked out.

this feels like an offensively bad way to divide these things

anyone who needs any help getting in touch with

• actions they can complete

• local palestine organizations

• donation funds

PLEASE do not hesitate to DM me. i am always available for palestinian liberation!

rafah needs you. palestinians need you. and when you let genocide happen, it means that there is also no safety for you or your own family or loved ones. ACT NOW.

I don't think it was very sensitive from snl and Timmy to air a Hamas joke on the day the al shifa hospital had to stop working due to IDF attacks but I also don't think Timmy deserves the shit storm coming for him rn.

He didn't joke about dead babies.

People need to stop glorifying Hamas. They are killers, terrorists, not freedom fighters.

Though making them the butt of a not very funny joke rn is... Well... Unnecessary.

this is some next-level rot.

here's a list of things that are all true, all at once:

islam wiped out indigenous african and west asian religions and cultures

islamophobic rhetoric was purposefully constructed by western forces to justify colonization of swana which hurts everyone here indiscriminately

a lot of the violence in swana is perpetuated and justified by islam as a political force regardless of how you personally interpret the religion

muslims face islamophobic violence outside of swana

non-muslims and non-arabs face violence in the name of islam in swana

the west purposely props up violent islamist terrorists as the image of what islam is while also equating all of swana with islam in order to create a general fear of literally all of us

the average muslim might not be a terrorist but odds are they do have some inherently sexist, queerphobic, or colonial views that they attribute to their religion (again, this is the average, so it doesn't matter what your personal interpretation of the religion is)

@prev anon: maybe stop seeing local politics through western lens and you'll have higher chances of understanding. your comparisons are all off

?

I had to send a screenshot to my dad and deliberately left in that I was listening to music about Palestinian identity with a particularly obvious title so he gets a little bit of a warning of what's coming for him when I get home tomorrow

The Algerian president: calls out a country without naming them for its normalization with Israel, its support of Moroccan colonialism in Western Sahara as well as its involvement in all conflicts on behalf of the West citing Sudan, Mali and Libya.

Me: It could be so many countries… I know who he is talking about but those who don’t follow Algerian politics or SWANA politics won’t know 😂

The UAE: ALGERIA IS ATTACKING US IT’S SO SAD AND ALGERIANS DESERVE A BETTER GOVERNMENT *proceed to use the exact same arguments the French use when attacking Algeria*

Me: Well I wasn’t counting on the country who wasn’t name dropped to say that they are the piece of shit Algeria was talking about… had they not said anything 80% of the world would have thought he was talking about France or the US but hey if the UAE wanna make sure everyone knows it’s about them no problem.

Find it very funny when Americans think it's weird that european and middle eastern countries all have beef with each other when each state firmly believes they're the best state and all hate britain

Petition to stop considering the east side of Mississippi as the Midwest and call it the Mideast. One its more geographically accurate and two I want Indiana conservatives to get annoyed that they live in the Middle East.

saw a post that gave me an eye twitch so i’m gonna break it down and analyze it bc i feel like it exemplifies a lot of what’s wrong with gentile discourse on i/p rn.

1. yeah, it is awful that zionist institutions and leadership use jewish trauma to justify why diaspora jews should unquestioningly support the current state of israel, regardless of the atrocities it commits against palestinians.

2. "israel is not your bube who survived the shoah" i don't know how to explain to you how fucking callous this sentence is.

3. for better or worse, israel did save jewish people. nearly a million jews from the swana region and 24,000 from ethiopia fled there after experiencing extreme violence and discrimination. you really think america or europe would have taken in a million black and brown jews? have you seen the current state of immigration?

4. "how do you argue with someone when their idea of israel is so rooted in their family trauma?" you don't. you validate their fears, make them feel heard, and then you offer them alternatives. the vast majority of diaspora support for israel is based in fear of persecution and eradication. if you offer real, legitimate solutions for the safety of diaspora jews, i guarantee you will be a thousand times more successful than just screaming at them and telling them "who fucking cares about your holocaust survivor bubbe????"

5. "how do you possibly tell them that the holocaust isn't relevant?" you don't, because it is. nearly 500,000 holocaust survivors moved to or were sent to israel after the shoah. some did not have a choice of where they were sent, some tried to go back to where they were living before but had no money and gentiles had taken their houses and belongings so they had nowhere to go, many faced violence upon trying to return to their hometowns in the form of pogroms, several countries turned them away. you cannot say the holocaust is not relevant to the current israeli population because gentiles in the diaspora are the reason they're there.

6. "i'm so tired of centering jewish identity in discussions over a nation state." are you stupid? genuinely, are you stupid? do you really not see how jewish identity and the history of the jewish people factor into a state with a fucking star of david on the flag that was founded after a genocide of 6 million jews that the rest of the world didn't want to deal with? seriously? no, jews in the diaspora are not responsible for the actions of the israeli government. we aren't more loyal to israel than we are to wherever we're living. but to say that israel has nothing to do with the jewish people is frankly laughable.

7. "how do you say that without sounding invalidating? like that just sounds horrible and antisemitic." that's because it is. you are being horrible and antisemitic.

edited to add: NUCLEAR SUPERPOWER?????????????????????????????? HELLO??????????????????????????

so please for the love of fuck educate yourself on the history of the jewish people and the history of the state of israel before making stupid ass posts like this. israel didn't manifest out of nowhere, it didn't come from "jewish supremacy" it came from hundreds of thousands of jews who were at their wit's fucking end with antisemitism in the diaspora, and from britain's colonization and imperialism paired with it's complete and total disregard for anyone who wasn't racially and culturally white. the monster that is modern day political zionism is a creation of the world's own making. people have been posting a lot about hamas being a response to 70+ years of israeli occupation, violence, and apartheid, but don't seem to understand that israel is a response to 3000+ years of persecution, expulsion, and genocide. the massacres and terror committed by hamas don't take into account the wellbeing of palestinians, and the oppression and violence perpetuated by the israeli government don't take into account the wellbeing of jews in israel or in the diaspora.

nothing will change if gentiles in the diaspora do not take responsibility for the rest of the world's role in the creation of israel. research your country, learn about how they treated their jews (not just during the holocaust but from the moment there were jews in your country), talk to your local jewish population, ask how you and organizations you are part of can help keep the diaspora safe for jews. because as an american jew, i don't want to move to israel. the government is borderline fascist, non ashki non orthodox jews are often seen as second class citizens, i don't speak the language, and my life is here. a lot of diaspora jews feel this way. but every time i see another group of nazis at a rally or get another bomb threat at my synagogue and look to see which country would be safest to move to as a trans person and as a jew, the only answer is israel, which is exactly what zionist institutions and leadership are counting on. if you want that to change, you and your community have to change it.

So.... i've just found out that 3k+ people signed an open letter pleading with The Game Awards to make a statement on the ongoing genocide of Palestinians as well as harmful depictions of SWANA in video games. The Game Awards proceeded to not only fail all of these mentioned persons, but also allow Neil Druckmann (a zionist who puts zionist politics in his games) and Jordan Peele (who signed a pro Israel letter to Biden that was full of harmful misinformation spun by the IOF) on stage as well as have Timothee Chalamet, (who made an disgraceful "joke" about Hamas on SNL a few weeks ago), present the award for Game of the Year

I honestly highly recommend to my fellow gentiles that if you are not actually strongly educated about Jewish history, Israeli history, and the current political and social situation not just in Israel and Palestine but also in the rest of the SWANA area, then you should remove "Zionist" and "Zionism" from your vocabularies.

Be blunt and detailed about what you mean and who you are referring to. Question your preconceived beliefs and force yourself to actually think about what you're saying, who it'll affect, and how much you actually know. Stop using a buzzword with a complicated defintion and a very, very long history of being used as a dogwhistle by white supremacists and other violent antisemites to other Jews from society.
