Hola, soy palestino. 🇵🇸
Y como la honestidad es poco común en mi política, permítanme confesar algunas cosas.
1947. La ONU me ofreció un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis líderes prometieron que la guerra "arrojaría a los judíos al mar". En cambio, lo perdí todo y lo llamaron catástrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacé.
1948–2025. Los estados árabes podrían haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cárceles para mí. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas.
1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podría haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistí en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años después, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler.
Oslo, década de 1990. Israel dijo: «Intentémoslo». Me dio autonomía. Armas para la policía. Miles de millones en ayuda. ¿Qué hicieron mis líderes? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fábricas.
Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterráneo. Voté por Hamás. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ¿Miles de millones en ayuda? Túneles, cohetes y palacios para sus líderes, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad.
¿Democracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. Hamás mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis líderes cancelan elecciones porque están demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder.
Religión. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clérigos en televisión enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judíos. Glorifico a los "mártires" que hacen estallar autobuses. Crío a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa.
Mundo árabe. Los regímenes árabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregúntenles cuántos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en Líbano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa.
Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irónicamente, justo al lado está Israel: el vecino que construyó una democracia próspera, una potencia tecnológica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petróleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. Podría haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegí la envidia y la rabia.
Obsesión antijudía. Podría haber aceptado a los judíos como vecinos. Podría haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del río al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura árabe, mostré solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelíes, grité muerte a los judíos. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelíes no confían en mí, cuando están enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto.
Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ¿Mis líderes roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ¿Hamás dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ¿Glorifico la muerte más que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte.
Soy palestino.
Podría haber construido una nación, muchas veces. Elegí el rechazo, la corrupción y la guerra sin fin. Podría haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegí vivir a la sombra de su destrucción.
Así que sí, soy una víctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy víctima de mis propios líderes, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio.
Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.
Man kann kaum in Worte fassen, wie ekelhaft, diffamierend, respektlos und unterirdisch der Umgang mit der Polizei in den vergangenen drei Jahren war.
Es geht hier nicht um Palästina oder Gaza. Es geht um den systematischen und konsequenten Abbau rechtsstaatlicher Prinzipien und den schwindenden Respekt vor denen, die unseren Rechtsstaat schützen.
Mein tiefster Respekt gilt jedem einzelnen Polizisten, der sich das in Berlin Tag für Tag antut und trotzdem weiter seinen Dienst verrichtet. Eine Gesellschaft, die ihre Polizei verachtet, darf sich nicht wundern, wenn sie irgendwann den Schutz verliert, den sie für selbstverständlich hält.
for those who are lost about the whole BTS Peru situation, here's what's been going on:
- so namjoon had posted on wv asking ppl to stop gathering outside their hotels because the noise was disturbing the members, staff AND other hotel guests, leaving them unable to sleep properly and potentially affecting their performances, he thanked everyone for the warm welcome and asked for privacy across their upcoming stops too.
- instead of acknowledging his concerns, some people started calling him xenophobic and defending themselves rather than accepting that boundaries need to be respected.
- then came the narrative that the people outside weren't ARMY. but with the drone shows, people singing Hooligan word for word and all the other activities happening, how can anyone confidently claim to know who everyone is? none of these things prove individual identities, but simply saying “they're not ARMY” doesn't solve the problem either.
- some genuine Peruvian ARMYs have reportedly been trying to redirect people away from the hotel through alternative location posts, and there were reports of water tankers being used to disperse the crowd.
- YET, a huge crowd is reportedly still outside the hotel, with some people saying it's just a popular tourist spot and a holiday. maybe some people are genuinely tourists, but we can't assume everyone's intentions either way now do we??
- NOW, a dancer from BTS' crew has also spoken up, asking people to stay away from the hotel, stop making noise and stop sending pictures of the hotel because this behaviour isn't something to be proud of.
AND NOW THERE ARE REPORTS OF PEOPLE POINTING LASERS AT THEIR HOTEL ROOMS. this is beyond disturbing.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT PERU OR LATIN AMERICAN ARMYs. IT'S ABOUT BTS' PRIVACY, SAFETY AND BASIC HUMAN DECENCY.
they deserve to sleep, rest and prepare for their performances without being watched or disturbed. whether those people are ARMY or not, whether the location is a tourist spot or not, NONE OF THAT JUSTIFIES INVADING THEIR PRIVACY.
stop making this about defending a country's reputation or proving who's a real ARMY. listen to what namjoon actually asked for. BTS came to perform for us, not to have their hotel turned into a public attraction. LET THEM REST. 💜

Threats of repeatative physical harm should never be normalized or dismissed. We urge @BIGHIT_MUSIC and @HYBEOFFICIALtwt to monitor these threats, investigate the accounts responsible, and take appropriate legal action to protect Taehyung.
Ich stehe als Türke zu Israel, deswegen greifen mich linke Deutsche rassistisch an.
Ich lehne das Selbstbestimmungsgesetz ab, weil mir die Rechte der Frauen wichtig sind. Auch hier greifen mich linke Deutsche an.
Ich lehne den Islamismus und den politischen Islam ab. Auch hier werde ich seit Jahren von linken Deutschen verfolgt.
Ich lehne es ab, mich als queer zu bezeichnen, weil ich schwul bin und schon eine Bezeichnung habe. Hier werde ich auch von heterosexuellen linken Deutschen homophob angegriffen.
Nicht ein Konservativer tat das Gleiche mit mir, im Gegenteil, sie verteidigen mich immer wieder gegen diese Linken, weil sie sehen, wer tatsächlich Menschen wie mich verfolgt.
Warum ich wütend bin?
Als Deutscher. Als Migrant. Als Vater.
Ich mache mir Sorgen um die Sicherheit in unserem Land. Und dafür brauchen wir eine Sprache.
Ich kam damals nach Deutschland, um Sicherheit, Wohlstand und Freiheit zu finden. Und ich habe alles gefunden.
Aber Deutschland hat sich verändert. Zumindest bei der Sicherheit nicht zum Positiven.
Das darf uns nicht kaltlassen.
Wer dieses Land liebt, benennt seine Probleme – nicht, um es schlechtzureden, sondern um es zu schützen.

He spent 730 days by her side, watching her fight. But the day she "won," he knew the battle wasn't over. »
A woman finally rang the bell, finishing two grueling years of chemotherapy. She was ready to start her life again. But the very next morning, her dog-the same one who had curled up beside her through every nauseating night of treatment-began to act strange.
He wouldn't stop pressing his nose against the exact same spot on her chest. He whimpered, a low, desperate sound that didn't stop for three days.
She thought it was just the "new normal" or a change in routine. She was wrong.
Driven by an intuition she couldn't explain, she called her doctor. They ran the tests, expecting nothing. What they found gave the entire medical team chills:
A New Tumor: So microscopic that no standard scan would have picked it up for at least another eight weeks.
The Window: By the time a machine could see it, it would have been nearly untreatable. The Miracle: Her dog didn't need a scan. He could smell the cellular shift before science even had a name for it.
"He spent two years helping her survive the first fight. He wasn't about to let her lose the second one."
Sometimes, the most powertul medicine doesn't come in a vial—it comes with tour paws and a heart that refuses to let go.
Holy shit. It gets even crazier.
Abdul Ballout had already planned a terrorist attack once before. He then fled to his homeland Lebanon. Germany brought him back.
Abdul was reportedly scheduled to attend a "deradicalisation course" TOMORROW.
What in the Suicidal Empathy is this?!
An Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth." Author: @IFuckingLoveOz
Ich bleibe nicht leise, wenn es etwas zu sagen gibt.
Auch dann nicht, wenn es unbequem wird.
Manche Dinge müssen ausgesprochen werden – egal wie laut es danach wird.
Deutschland hat ihn aufgenommen – nur damit er dann auf deutschen Straßen ruft: „Fuck you, Germany.”
Das ist absolut inakzeptabel.

@MIN_YOONGI7SUGA I don't have any of that. But If I had and loose it all, I would still love you. Even if you lost fame and fortune I would still be there loving you.
