I recently got the question: “Does it upset you if your friends don’t post on social media about Palestine?”
I had to take a while to think about it. My first thought was it’s annoying but I can see why they feel societal pressure to not post… but as I kept thinking
I try to not let it affect my friendships, but you cannot blame me if it does.Same way I can’t blame you for not standing up for me and my people. Just know I don’t need u & my ppl don’t either
I’ll never ask anyone to post, but media pressure and knowledge sharing does help.
Being a Palestinian American -
USA: We gonna use your hard earned tax dollars to wipe your people off the face of the earth
Also USA: We still expect you to show up to work everyday with a smile on your face to make more money
Sad part is the drive through lady that give me a bunch of extra sauces at the burrito spot up the street doesn’t even know how much I’m gonna miss her…
