Your AirPods will fall inside airplane seat cracks and refuse to come out.
Your Uber driver will confidently say “I know shortcut” and then get lost for 47 minutes.
Your hotel keycard will stop working exactly when you finally reach your room exhausted.
The only available airport food will be one suspicious sandwich and sparkling water.
Your charger will start working only when held at a 37-degree angle with intense prayer.
And every time you finally sit down comfortably, somebody will say, “sorry that seat is taken.”
Ameen 🌝
And those of you hypocritical husband’s friends that keep joking about polygamy in front of our husbands and acting like we are somehow selfish for wanting to be the only wives of our own husbands… you people will suffer small, small inconveniences that will humble your souls.
Your flight will get cancelled during transit in a country you don’t have a visa for.
Your ATM card will vanish mysteriously while your dollars are peacefully sitting at home on your dresser.
Your phone will die at 2% battery in a country where you cannot speak the language, cannot pronounce the street names, and somehow every single person you meet will point you in different directions.
Your luggage will arrive safely… to the wrong continent.
The immigration officer will suddenly say, “Step aside please.”
Looked around my flat and wondered what I would carry with me if I was told to evacuate with an hour’s notice. Packing up a whole life in an hour and finding a place to stay? How is this not a war crime?
Everyone is big mad at Iran for self defense - I don't get it. You attacked them, they defended themselves. You're actually still planning more attacks. But you want them to stop defending themselves? Wait, what?
One day my boyfriend told me he was at home, he even sent me a picture of his TV and everything. Five minutes later, someone knocked on the door. I opened it and it was him with flowers and chocolates. The first thing I thought about was all the times he could have lied to me saying he was in bed when he might have actually gone to another girl’s house.
“I do not wish to overstate the point, but pause for a moment and consider: if Russia had killed 167 Ukrainian schoolgirls, if Palestinians had killed 167 Israeli schoolgirls, if Iran had killed 167 schoolgirls, it would have been the biggest news story in the world for years.”
For over two years Palestinians in Gaza had no defenses from Israel’s relentless bombardment, but I don’t remember you describing it as a “horror story.”
I’m convinced the reason there’s so many warmongers in the USA is because they’ve never actually felt the impact of war on U.S. soil. If they did, they would think twice.
It’s truly astounding to witness the Western shock at Iran responding to its leader being assassinated with proportionate attacks on the guilty parties. The psychology of Western hegemony mirrors that of rapists and abusers: they are stunned by their victims fighting back.
Muslims always gets the stereotypical terrorist bomber jokes just because of 9/11, yet Americans can bomb countries every year but somehow they're not the terrorists? Somehow they're not the monsters? Okay.
Only the United States could bomb a country, kill its leader, massacre its children, declare the intention to destroy its military and topple its government, and then call that country's retaliation against US military bases "unprovoked".
France, Germany and the UK have issued a statement condemning Iran's "disproportionate" response. I want to know what they think is a "proportionate" response when invaders assassinate your head of state and civilian leaders in an explicit campaign to destroy your government.
Whenever children's bodies are being exploded into little pieces, the one thing you can be sure of is that they'll be an Israeli coming along shortly -- probably a horde of them -- to explain why it's good and necessary.
It's their national pastime.
I don't know how to explain to people that non-American lives are just as important & valuable as we have been taught that ours are.
People are dying. Cheering is ghoul behavior
Fuck y'all
Do any Americans know the US overthrew Iran’s democratically elected PM in 1953? Does anyone know the US shot down an Iranian passenger plane murdering 300 civilians in 1988? Can they define sanctions? Do they even know people in other countries have thoughts, dreams, and lives?
