Mimi, I get it.
You can’t wrap your mind around October 7th.
But the rest of the world can’t wrap its mind around October 8th, 9th, 10th... and the hundreds of days since.
You scream "6,000 terrorists" as if volume substitutes truth.
As if repeating a number turns a blockade into a border.
As if all the Palestinian dead are guilty by birth.
But let’s talk about clarity.
You speak of livestreamed violence.
What do you call livestreamed bombings of hospitals?
What do you call journalists filming their own deaths?
What do you call thousands of children pulled from rubble on camera—bodies shattered, names erased?
That’s not a livestream?
That’s not slaughter?
You ask why the world still sees Palestinians as victims.
Because they are.
Because they were made refugees in 1948.
Because their homes are demolished daily, with impunity.
Because they live without passports, without water, without freedom, without future.
Because 70% of Gaza is under 25, and all they’ve ever known is siege, drones, and grief.
You want moral clarity? Start here:
Palestinians didn’t drop white phosphorus on Israeli schools.
Palestinians don’t have F-35s, tanks, nukes, or a $4 billion military stipend from Washington.
Palestinians don’t lock millions behind concrete and checkpoints, then cry foul when they fight back.
You claim to be shocked by violence.
So where was your shock when over 13,000 Palestinian children were killed?
Where was your mind when their blood painted UN school walls?
When their names vanished under dust and debris?
When a mother had to write her child’s name on their leg, so the body could be identified after the next airstrike?
You say the world lost its clarity.
No.
The world is finally seeing clearly.
It’s seeing that occupation breeds resistance.
It’s seeing that ethnic cleansing, blockade, and apartheid don’t create peace.
It’s seeing that the people erased from maps are now burned into our conscience.
And what frightens you most is that the world no longer sees through your script.
It sees through the lies.
It sees the human beings behind the label "terrorist."
And it sees that the real terror is the system trying to silence them.
🔴 We’re on our way to Gaza — expected to arrive in about 48 hours. These next hours are critical. Your voice is our protection. Let apartheid Israel know: the world is watching. Your silence gives them cover. Don’t stay silent. 🔴

Genuinely losing my mind how is this not bigger news?? Hamas is literally proposing to give up power in Gaza in a ceasefire proposal and Israel and US keep specifically rejecting that part. This is how much the Zionists want an excuse to continue genocide.
.@hzomlot: "There is no war in Gaza. War happens between two armies.. for the last 600 days, the world has seen that this is a campaign of mass murder, mass destruction, mass starvation of an entire people. This must stop unconditionally"
You're right about one thing: Gaza is an intelligence test.
And congratulations: you failed. Spectacularly.
Because you think repeating the word "Hamas" is a full explanation for 77 years of military occupation, ethnic cleansing, siege, and apartheid.
You think a single day—October 7—justifies the systematic starvation, displacement, and extermination of an entire population.
You think if you say "concert" enough times, the world will forget.
Forget the thousands of children buried under rubble.
The newborns dying for lack of oxygen.
The journalists executed.
The medics shot.
The aid convoys bombed.
The bread lines targeted.
The hospitals turned into craters.
You want to talk about an intelligence test?
Let’s take one.
If you think genocide requires announcing your intentions on live TV,
You’ve clearly never studied history.
If you think blockading 2.3 million people, cutting off food, water, medicine, and electricity doesn’t amount to genocide,
Then you’re not just misinformed,
You’re morally illiterate.
And if you think pointing to Hamas justifies the leveling of entire neighborhoods, the burning of children, the white phosphorus over refugee camps,
You don’t want peace.
You want punishment.
You want retribution in bulk—sterilized in moral language.
You say Gaza is a test?
Then tell me this:
How do you pass the test of decency while cheering on the bombing of hospitals?
How do you pass the test of logic while claiming the party with tanks, drones, jets, nukes, and veto power is the one being "attacked"?
How do you pass the test of humanity when the only time you see Palestinians as human is when you can blame them for dying?
If you can’t answer that without drooling contempt all over your keyboard, maybe the intelligence test isn’t about Gaza.
Maybe it’s about you.
You pat people on the head and say "there there"?
No.
We’re not children.
We see exactly what you are.
A man so drunk on tribal loyalty that he mistakes mass death for justice,
And silence for intelligence.
You still think this is a test?
Fine.
Then history is grading you.
And it won’t be kind.
Thank you Cheryl for the unhinged novel-length rant.
I appreciate the sheer volume of words it took to say absolutely nothing grounded in historical continuity, and everything grounded in settler fantasy.
You accuse me of revisionism. So let me ask: what exactly is being revised?
Is it the 5,000 years of uninterrupted habitation in Palestine by successive Semitic, Hellenic, Roman, Arab, and Ottoman civilizations?
Or is it the 77-year-old Western-funded experiment that bulldozed its way onto the land and now demands the entire planet forget who was living there the week before?
Let’s begin where you ended:
You call yourself "the mirror."
But all you’ve done is project.
Every accusation you’ve hurled—about lies, delusion, revisionism—is a confession.
You just typed a 2,000-word tantrum admitting everything Zionism needs to survive: erasure, mythology, moral collapse, and a pathological fear of a history it can’t control.
So let’s take this slowly, so even your venom has time to blink.
First: the "land was empty" lie.
A favorite of every settler project, from the Americas to Australia.
You claim Arabs only came after Jews "built it up"—as if Palestinians waited politely on the sidelines of history until Zionism handed them a shovel.
That fantasy collapsed under British Mandate census data, Ottoman tax records, and countless travel accounts from centuries past—all of which show thriving Arab communities farming, trading, and living long before your ancestors ever heard of a kibbutz.
Even Zionist leaders knew the land wasn’t empty.
Zev Jabotinsky, your ideological forefather, wrote in 1923:
"A voluntary agreement with the Arabs is inconceivable now or in the foreseeable future... Zionist colonization can continue and develop only under the protection of a power independent of the native population—an iron wall which the native population cannot break through."
Not dialogue. Not coexistence.
Domination. Displacement. Denial.
Zionism didn’t come seeking peace. It came with walls. With myths. And called the theft a "return."
When immigrants arrived in significant waves in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, they found Arabic-speaking farmers, merchants, craftsmen, and townspeople.
Not a desert. Not a ruin.
A living people.
Hebrew-language newspapers from the First Aliyah period are filled with complaints about Arabs resisting land sales and eviction.
That’s a strange level of resistance for a population you claim didn’t exist.
Your claim that Arabs "flooded" into Palestine after Jews made it prosperous isn’t just colonial fantasy.
It’s numerically false.
British census data from 1922 to 1947 shows Jewish immigration caused the vast majority of population increase.
Arab growth was overwhelmingly natural.
That myth of Arabs "chasing prosperity" is recycled propaganda from British colonial offices and Zionist land funds.
Second: your archaeology argument.
Beautiful. Let's play that game.
You cite archaeology to prove Jewish continuity, but dismiss every shard, stone, and structure tied to Canaanites, Philistines, Romans, Arabs, and Ottomans.
You call Palestinians newcomers, yet your entire claim rests on a Bronze Age tribal confederation that vanished before Rome salted the soil of Judea.
By your logic, every group with a shard in the dirt gets a state.
Shall we divide Spain among Visigoths, Rome, and Al-Andalus?
Archaeology is not a land deed. And nostalgia is not sovereignty.
You say Jews lived in the land for 3,500 uninterrupted years.
Let’s be honest.
There were always some Jews in Palestine—just as there were always Samaritans, Christians, Muslims, Druze, Greeks, Armenians.
But the majority-Jewish population ceased to exist after the 2nd century CE.
What followed was 1,800 years of non-Jewish majority rule over the land you now call "Israel."
You don’t get to point to an ancient pot and leap across millennia as if that pottery grants title deeds.
Indigeneity isn’t a fossil. It’s a living presence.
Palestinians didn’t walk out of a museum.
They walked out of Ottoman tax registers.
Out of British archives.
Out of villages like Lifta, Deir Yassin, and al-Tantura before they were depopulated, erased, and rebranded as parks and suburbs.
And since we’re talking about historical presence, let’s talk about moral presence, too.
You bring up Jewish suffering under Arab and Ottoman rule.
Yes, there were pogroms.
Yes, there was discrimination.
But trauma in one land does not entitle you to another.
Being oppressed doesn’t make you indigenous.
And being a victim doesn’t give you the right to colonize someone else’s home.
That’s the part you can’t seem to grasp.
Third: the Rashidun "slaughtered everyone" fairy tale.
No empire was gentle.
Not the Rashidun. Not the Romans. Not the Crusaders.
But here’s what you leave out:
Arab Muslims didn’t erase the region.
They wove themselves into it.
Syriac, Greek, Coptic, and Aramaic all continued long after conquest.
Cities remained.
Jews lived.
Christians practiced.
Unlike Zionism, early Islam didn’t erase.
It layered.
That’s why Palestinians speak Arabic with Aramaic roots, harvest olives in Roman terraces, build homes with Crusader stone, and worship in Greek churches that still stand in Jerusalem.
You fixate on one 7th-century conquest while ignoring every one that came before or after: Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Crusader, Mongol, Ottoman.
None erased the population.
They became part of it.
Fourth: 1948.
You say "we begged Arabs to stay."
Cute.
Here’s what your militias actually did:
Deir Yassin. Lydda. Al-Tantura. Al-Dawayima.
Villages razed. Women raped. Children shot.
David Ben-Gurion knew.
So did Yigal Allon.
So did Benny Morris, who later admitted:
"A Jewish state would not have come into being without the uprooting of 700,000 Palestinians. Therefore it was necessary to uproot them. There was no choice but to expel that population."
You didn’t "win a war."
You ethnically cleansed your way into a flag.
More than 400 villages wiped out.
Militias carried out demolition campaigns, expulsions, and psychological warfare.
Zionism didn’t just declare independence.
It declared war on memory.
And when Palestinians tried to return, Israel passed laws to block them, seized their homes, and called them "absentees."
They didn’t just flee.
They were driven out.
And to this day, their keys are still in their hands—not in your museums.
Fifth: your "they’re just Egyptians" claim.
This is where your ignorance turns pathological.
The surnames you mock reflect Ottoman naming conventions, regional exchange, and family ties built over centuries.
Just like the Ashkenazim who fled Europe.
Just like your own family from Lebanon.
They don’t erase centuries of residence.
Otherwise, everyone named "Cohen" in New York better start packing.
Migration is not colonialism.
Zionism is.
Palestinians didn’t arrive with warships and a foreign mandate.
They didn’t bulldoze towns, bomb villages, and rewrite history with UN backing.
They were there.
Planting. Praying. Dying. Resisting.
You say the Arabs rejected partition?
Good.
So did the Jews in 1937.
Partition was a colonial arrangement, imposed by an empire that had no right to give away someone else's home.
If I take your house, give 55% to a squatter, and tell you to sign the lease, what do you call it?
Now let’s talk about what you really fear.
Truth.
Because if Palestinians are indigenous,
If their villages existed before your slogans,
If their graves predate your flag,
If their olive trees still bleed where your bulldozers cut,
Then what does that make you?
Not a returnee.
Not a freedom fighter.
Not a decolonizer.
Just another settler, clinging to a myth, with blood on your boots, and scripture in your pocket.
You say I’m peddling revisionist garbage?
Sweetheart, I’m not rewriting history.
I’m unearthing the bodies your history tried to bury.
You’re not holding up a mirror.
You’re hiding from one.
But here’s the thing about mirrors:
They don’t lie.
And in the end, Cheryl, neither does the land.
Not to tanks.
Not to hashtags.
Not to flags.
Just to time.
And time, I promise you, is not on your side.

"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb."

If an 11-year-old Israeli influencer—a girl who delivered food and toys to displaced children—had been killed, the Empire State Building would be lit up for her. Her face would be on the homepage of every US news outlet. Her name would be on the tongue of every US politician.
Quick answer, Brianna:
It wasn’t Hebrew. And it sure as hell wasn’t "Israel."
Before the 7th century, the region you now call "Israel" was a crossroads of civilizations.
Aramaic was spoken. Greek. Latin. Syriac. Nabataean. Canaanite dialects.
Arabic dialects were already in the region before Islam, spoken by tribes throughout the Levant and Hijaz.
And Hebrew?
By the time of the Roman Empire, it had already faded as a spoken language.
It survived liturgically—like Latin in a medieval church—not as a living, breathing tongue of daily life.
So if your argument is "whoever spoke the language first owns the land,"
Congratulations. You’ve just erased modern Israel’s claim too.
Because modern Hebrew was reconstructed in the 19th century:
Revived in Europe.
Imposed in Palestine.
It’s not some unbroken line from Moses to Tel Aviv.
It’s a nationalist invention—ironic, given your whole "historical authenticity" spiel.
Now let’s address your punchline:
"Israel is the most successful decolonialist project in human history."
Read that again slowly.
You’re calling a Western-backed military settler colony,
Armed by the U.S.,
Funded by Europe,
Imposed on an indigenous population through displacement and war,
A "decolonialist" project?
That’s not just ahistorical.
That’s Orwellian.
Let me help you out:
You’re not witnessing decolonization.
You’re watching colonialism with better PR.
Stealing land doesn’t become justice because you slap a flag on it and teach kids to salute.
You don’t get to bomb refugee camps and call it "self-determination."
You don’t get to bulldoze homes and call it "security."
You don’t get to exile an entire population, then rewrite their absence as proof they were never there.
Israel isn’t a "return to indigenous roots."
It’s a return to biblical justification for modern imperial violence.
The same logic used by Crusaders, conquistadors, and colonizers across continents.
You say, "It was the Jews’ land historically, and it’s theirs today."
Okay, let’s apply that logic.
Should Italians reclaim all of Europe because Rome once ruled it?
Should Greece recolonize Turkey because of Alexander?
Should Muslims retake Spain because of Al-Andalus?
History is not a land deed.
And conquest 3,000 years ago doesn’t justify conquest today.
What you’re doing is hijacking history, erasing the present, and packaging ethnic supremacy as ancestral justice.
But no matter how many times you twist it,
Colonialism dressed in scripture is still colonialism.
And Palestine?
It didn’t vanish when your textbooks ignored it.
It didn’t disappear when the maps changed.
It’s still there.
In the names, the ruins, the graves, the olive groves,
And the keys passed down by generations you’ve tried to erase.
So no, Brianna.
Facts aren’t your thing.
Narrative control is.
But history remembers what propaganda tries to bury.
And the land remembers too.
