If you see a child with a Pride flag, or a Pride Progress Flag, and you think 'that child shouldn't be holding that flag,' it's because you're a person who automatically thinks of sexual acts with you think of LGBT+ people, in way that you don't when think of cishet people. 1/
it has always been hard for me to really think about the Holocaust
I can’t finish books or films devoted to it. I walked out of Schindler’s List
I think of my family, and everything Nazis did to them. I relive their torment, their final agonizing moments. my mom is the same way. her mother barely survived, her grandmother was executed, along with most of the rest of her family
when I think of what they went through, a fate so many others shared, a particular pain grips my chest and throat, my breath becomes ragged, and sob uncontrollably
the same is true when I think of the Holocaust that Zionists have visited upon Palestinians for almost eight decades
I can’t think of one Holocaust, without thinking of the other, they are forever intertwined in my soul
when I see Palestinians suffering genocide, when I see anyone suffering genocide, I see my family
and know it easily could be me, too
I’m filled with a terrible sorrow, but also a terrible rage
it’s a feeling like no other, one I can’t put into words
but this, I can say —
Zionist crimes, the Holocaust of Palestinians, are unforgivable. Just as Nazi crimes and the Holocaust were
my family, and so many others, did not suffer and die just for Zionists to do the same to another people
never again means never again, for anyone
I will never forgive, I will never forget, I will never stop talking about Palestine, even through tears like the ones blurring my vision now
until the day I die and finally join my family I will say, FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Mind you, when Putin invaded Ukraine, every major university in the West offered free scholarships to Ukrainians. Now, Israel destroyed every single university in Gaza and no Western university offered to take in Gazan students. The double standard is blood-boiling
I'm hyper aware that there are less Palestinians online sharing their experiences and real time news and it's not because they're tired and overwhelmed (which they have the right to be) but because they are dead. They're dead. They are dead.
As a scholar of settler-colonialism, I’ve read 1000s of pages on the violent means through which European settlers engaged in dispossessing Natives in the Americas. I was flabbergasted by so much evil with each page turn, until Gaza’s live-streamed genocide gave those acts a face
75 years of ethnic cleansing.
15 years of blockade.
Confiscation of Palestinian lands.
Pogroms on Palestinian towns.
Desecration of Palestinian sacred sites.
Daily raids into Palestinian homes.
Constant humiliation of a entire people.
Nothing about today is “unprovoked.”
Ég skammast mín svo fyrir þetta lið.
Bara á þessu ári hefur Ísrael drepið yfir 200 palestínskar manneskjur, þar af fjölda barna. Ekki múkk.
Aldrei séð ÞKRG tala afgerandi gegn hernáminu og kerfisbundna ofbeldinu sem fólk i Palestínu býr við. Aldrei.
@Frostpinni Ég er einmitt bara???? Skiladagur er 5. sept, ég hef nææægan tíma!
Getum við setið saman og skrifað ritgerðirnar okkar? Gætum jafnvel klappað Mosa í pásum!
Bæði Rússland og Ísrael notuðu tækifærið og sprengdu saklausa borgara á meðan á keppninni stóð. Passíf andstaða gegn því að eurovision sé notað til að vekja athygli á mannréttindabrotum er afstaða með ofbeldi. #12stig
33 people have been killed in #Gaza during the #Eurovision week by israeli forces! Amongst them are children. Whilst this apartheid state goes on stage in the finale of #Eurovision2023 Palestinians are yet again fighting for their right to life!

@HrundSnorradot1 Ég hef verið vegan í rúm 7 ár og á 2,5 árs hund og 2ja ára kött. Þeir eru ekki vegan, þó hundurinn gæti verið það.
Ég finn sífellt betur hversu andstætt vegan sjónarmiðum mér finnst dýrahaldið sjálft 🫠.
Mér finnst ekki sanngjarnt að gefa hundum veganfæði þó þeir lifi það af 🤷🏼♀️
5/6/1933, exactly 90 years ago today the Nazis sacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute of Sexology, destroying countless scientific research into queer Healthcare including transition procedures for trans people. The most famous pictures of a Nazi book-burning are from this event.
