Listen carefully.
You say this is "Jewish land for 3,500 years."
But history is not a property deed.
If age alone gave ownership, the Canaanites would rise from the soil and evict you tomorrow.
If conquest gave legitimacy, Rome would still rule Jerusalem.
If scripture was a land title, every empire in history would resurrect to reclaim what it once held.
But history moves forward.
It does not sign contracts for eternity.
You call Canada, the UK, and Australia "weak and naïve."
But tell me, who created your state?
It was London that drafted the Balfour Declaration.
It was Washington that armed and funded you.
It was the UN that forced a partition on Palestine without its people’s consent.
You did not rise alone from the ashes.
You were delivered on the back of empire.
So spare us the courage talk.
You’ve been carried on another man’s shoulders since birth.
You say Palestine is a "Trojan horse for jihad."
No.
Palestine is the homeland of a people who were expelled, massacred, and erased from maps.
The refugee camps are not jihad.
The key around an old woman’s neck is not jihad.
The olive trees bulldozed in the West Bank are not jihad.
They are memory.
They are history.
They are lives interrupted by the myth you call sovereignty.
You say "Israel will never retreat."
But empires always say that, right before they fall.
France said it in Algeria.
Britain said it in India.
America said it in Vietnam.
History has never once been impressed by the boasts of occupiers.
"One state. One people. One land."
Yes, that is the dream of every settler colony, from South Africa to Rhodesia to French Indochina.
And every one of them believed it was eternal.
Every one of them said "we are here forever."
And every one of them fell.
Not because they were weak.
But because the people they tried to erase refused to vanish.
So keep chanting your slogans.
But remember: it is not the occupier who decides forever.
It is the land.
It is the people.
And both still speak the name you are trying to silence.
Palestine.
i actually cannot believe that Hind Rajab's mother and little brother are STILL in gaza city PLEADING for help while some rich celebrities and filmmakers are making movies and money OFF HER MURDERED DAUGHTER.
SHAME!!!
@RepMTG It’s not a war.
One side doesn’t have an army.
Or a navy.
Or an airforce.
Or sattelites.
Or unlimited funds.
Or the unconditional support of the current number 1 super power on earth.
Israel has all of them and more. They’ve dropped multiple nukes on Gaza
It’s a genocide.
Celebs Suddenly Care, Now That It’s Safe…They’re Scum.
20 months of silence. 20 months of excuses. Now that Gaza is unignorable, the ‘brave’ voices finally speak. @TadhgHickey tears into the performative outrage of celebs who found their voices only when it was safe.
Years ago, when I was in my 20s, a bold and artistically daring older friend who has since passed on gave me what I often think was the best advice I have ever gotten. I was worrying what 'people would think' of a decision I had made, and she said, "Amanda, There is no audience."
It took the murder of 12,800 Palestinian children for CNN to finally speak out?
Where was CNN at the beginning of this horror? Spreading fake Israeli atrocity propaganda.
If CNN - and the rest of US media - wants to know who's guilty of enabling Israel? Look in the mirror.
This tailor in Gaza risked his life to bring a sewing machine from Nuseirat to Rafah to help make tents out of empty sacks of flour. They’re operating the machine with a bicycle wheel due to lack of electricity. Share stories like this instead of the *take* nobody needs to hear.
