just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)

I'm absolutely enraged at people saying that all these celebrities and influencers don't need to speak up about Palestine "because it's not their place/job" or that "their careers will get ruined and they'll get canceled."
I just need you to stop for a second and think.
Their job is to influence people, hence the name. This is a mass genocide, people are being killed and murdered for the sake of creating a jewish majority state. This is an ethnic cleansing. These people need to speak up, so that the news of what Israel and the US are doing to these people in Gaza can reach other people, and encourage and influence them so that people know not to support Israel and help the Palestinians, simply because their online presence will have alot of impact.
As for their careers, you care more about the life and career of a celebrity and influencer who makes millions by just pulling out their phone and making a silly little video or record a silly little song? What about the lives of the Palestinians? Hmm? They're losing their entire lives, their jobs, their houses, their family and friends. They're losing everything. And yet, you care more about the songs your favourite artist records or the videos your favorite tiktoker/YouTuber makes right?
Stop sitting there doing nothing and use your damn brain.
This is GENOCIDE. An ETHNIC CLEANSING. How has society evolved so much that they're going backwards? How can you try and justify the murder of thousands of people? Almost 40,000 people have been murdered by Israel. That's not even including the injured and the missing and the hostages who are being raped, abused and physically and psychologically tortured.
You all cared so much of those 5 billionaires in that one submarine right? Where's all that empathy for the Palestinians? Where is all that worry, stress and anxiety that they'll be saved in time? You are watching a genocide, an ethnic cleansing, a holocaust infront of your very eyes, and yet you do nothing. You wonder what you would've done in the German holocaust, this, this is what you would've done. What you are doing now, is what you would've done then.
Scroll ahead, ignore this message 'because it's too long to read', that's the only thing you can do right? Ignore what isn't your problem? You don't care about anything unless it directly affects you and your cozy, comfortable life in your home, taking the life you have for granted that was ripped away from the Palestinians.
Do better.

Not the fucking zionists saying Slimane (the French contestant for Eurovision) should have been kicked out after he stopped singing to speak about peace. (From the comments under a post showing his speech)
"It's a singing contest, he cannot speak about politics! LOVE ISRAEL!"
Why are you so afraid of an arabic man speaking about peace??? Why is it so unacceptable to you??? Do you feel threatened by an arabic man speaking about peace???
Also, they all seem to agree Israel should have win, like they should just have received the first place without actually competing, because they are poor babies at war and the other contestants suck (they have shown being with Palestine or against Israel a little bit). So, no politics, you cannot speak of peace, but Israel should win because of politics???

Why tf is Dune trending and Palestine isn't? Doesn't the cast contain Zionists???
(Please take this as a reminder to do your research before watching something, I had to educate my grandfather about this because he was talking about going to see Dune 2 in theaters)

"how can you be an animorphs fan and support Israel?"
I don't know, how CAN I be the fan of a book series talking about kids being forced to grow up too fast due to being a part of a war that has been going on for longer than they're alive, trying to defend their home against an invading force?
Seeing how this situation affects their mental state, world view and relationships with each other? Not being able to fully trust anyone else because they can turn out to secretly wish for your demise?
How can I be the fan of a series that mirrors the way I grew up, of feeling scared and lost and small but knowing that you have to keep going because there's no other way?
Knowing that the other side has people who are like you, who never really wanted to hurt anyone but are being forced to fight too, who were brainwashed from birth to not see people like you as people?
Knowing that innocents die in war, that cruel, messed up, unjust things happen in wars but not seeing another way forward?
Wanting to save your loved ones who are now being kept hostages?
YEAH I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I, AN ISRAELI PERSON, BE AN ANIMORPHS FAN?

I've had literal death and rape threats thrown at me because I'm a Jew. I've had men scream they will rape me because I am a Jewish woman. I do not have an Israeli passport. I do not have an Israeli flag on me. They have all done it under the guise of being "pro-Palestinian". My family have asked me to not wear my star of David in public because they are scared for me. I get you want to do the "right" thing. But seeing you reblog a post about anti-Semitism, that is from someone who is not Jewish, is disheartening. I want peace. I want to live without fear. Shame on you.
Wait what???
What does me being against the Israel occupation in Gaza and ask for a free Palestine has to do with anti semitism????
It has literally nothing to do with people being Jewish, at least that I know of.
