به عنوان یه ایرانی خارجنشین میگم:
کاش دیاسپورای ایرانی بیشتر گوش بدن تا نسخه بپیچن. ما وقتی مهاجرت کردیم، زمین بازی و مبارزه رو ترک کردیم—به هر دلیلی. حالا دیگه حق نداریم از دور برای آدمای شجاع داخل نسخهی مبارزه و خطر بپیچیم. سهم ما باید حمایت باشه، نه راهکار تحمیلی.
@hedie_mir@itsimanzh به نظرم این قضیه بیش از پیش نشون میده که ما معمولا تصمیم میگیریم از یکی خوشمون بیاد یا نه بعد بر اساس اون تصمیک هر چیزی که مربوط به اون شخص باشه رو تفسیر میکنیم. اونایی که ازش خوششون میومد دارن صداقتش رو تحسین میکنند و اونایی که خوششون نمیومد بهانه پیدا کردن که بکوبنش.
"So you can see that I don't hate Palestinians."
But I'll write a tweet blaming those who are indirectly putting Palestinian civilian lives in danger and emphasize that I don't blame those who are actually killing Palestinian civilians.
This is me shortly after arriving in the United States.
It was while my mind was still in the box that the Islamic Republic had placed me in.
This is me before I tried to learn beyond what I was fed before I saw the truth of the situation.
It's when I still believe the propaganda I have been fed since I was a child.
I wholeheartedly supported the Palestinian cause because I assumed it was a matter of human rights.
So you can see that I don't hate Palestinians.
I discovered that the "Free Palestine" movement was not concerned with human rights. If it was, they would see how Hamas has put Palestinians in danger and forced them into a war that has resulted in death and destruction rather than victory.
They would see the ugliness of what Hamas has done to Israelis and Palestinians alike. They would see how the Islamic Republic has started a fire that is destroying the world in 44 years.
I gained a better understanding of history. I learned more about what has been going on around the world and what has been done to the Middle East, as well as who is to blame for our misery, and Israel is not to blame.
Today, I continue to advocate for human rights, which include Jewish people all over the world.
#فوری: حکم اعدام #سمیرا_سبزیان قرار است چهارشنبه صبح (حدود ۳۰ ساعت دیگر) اجرا شود! او به قرنطینه منتقل شده است. در حال حاضر فقط واکنش شدید جامعهجهانی و مردم ایران میتواند جان سمیرا را نجات دهد! هرکجا هستید از هر طریقی که میتوانید تلاش کنید تا جلوی اجرای حکم سمیرا را بگیریم! #نه_به_اعدام
What the past 48 hours or so has revealed is that there are a lot of people who mourn for dead Israeli civilians but not dead Palestinian ones, and a lot of people who mourn for dead Palestinian civilians but not dead Israeli ones.
What has happened to our collective humanity?
This is a moment like Jan. 6, Sept 11 or the early moments of the pandemic and George Floyd where mass fear and anger takes hold, politicians and media will use black and white thinking to polarize the issue to manipulate you, to demonize dissent and shred nuance. Don’t let them.
Hamas would absolutely execute the 🏳️🌈 ACAB lefties cheering on horrific violence against Israelis if they lived in Gaza & US rightwingers blindly cheering on Israeli subjugation of Palestinians would rebel twice as violently if Americans were subjected to similar occupation.
