Despite the fines and mounting pressure, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair continues to honour Palestinian children killed in Gaza.
This time, it’s Lana, 12, and Bana, 8, who were killed alongside their family in an Israeli attack earlier this month.
man I remember like the week after my dad passed I was watching the lions hoping maybe they’d win this game for him, Jared Goff threw a pick six and I broke down like DMX in that one video lmaooo
There seems to be a lot of liberals that haven't come to terms with the fact we double tapped a girls school in Iran, kidnapped the president of Venezuela and stole their oil and gold, blockaded gas into Cuba, and are randomly blowing up fishing boats for no reason.
Makes me sick to my stomach to see a twitch streamer school two black people on the parallels of imperial violence between Hamas and black activists fighting systemic violence and oppression. Sorry state of affairs.
During his interview with MSNOW's Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels, Hasan Piker talks about Hamas, the Palestinian resistance as a whole and the issue with the concept of a 'perfect victim.' He compares it with other liberation movements throughout history: "And that is the issue at the heart of the matter; people want perfect victims. Whether they be Black people engaging in the Civil Rights' struggle, historically, whether it be the forces against apartheid in South Africa, whether it be the liberation struggle in Algeria. The expectation from the white moderate or the expectation from people who enjoy the order that exists in civilized society, is that people are not supposed to fight back and try to even match the intensity or the violence of the occupation, the colonial entity or the forces of police brutality that are defending white supremacy. So, that's the reason why I make this distinction. I want people to start thinking; what would they do in that situation? What would they do if they lived in the world's largest open air prison that's hermetically sealed, that is a nuclear armed state, that is backed by the most powerful entity on the planet?"
El-Sayed: You propose a program, and very serious people will look at you and say, “How are you going to pay for that?” You know what they never ask a general who wants to send your tax dollars abroad or go to war in a place like Iran?
“General, how are you going to pay for that?”
I think it is time for our U.S. Senate and everybody in a position of power to be asking that general, “How are you going to pay for that in an America where too few people get the healthcare they need and deserve?”
Abdul El-Sayed: “There are 3M people who listen to Hasan. I want to offer them a pathway into an electoral movement where rather than sit outside the electoral system, they see a pathway around the things they agree with that he says that I agree with and a pathway that disavows the things that I disagree with. I’m glad to be on your show, but I’m not here to talk to you. I’m here to talk to the people you’re talking to”
Stephen A. Smith: “I gotta confess to you: that’s a damn good answer!”
