If you have to be silent about the genocide of brown people in order to stay on-brand, then your brand is white supremacy. Your brand is racism in its most insidious form. Your brand is abject apathy.

"you guys are too early, you're supposed to come at 12" ma'am do you want your house cleaned or not?? I don't want to take an unpaid 45 minute break in the middle of my day when I barely work 30 hrs/week and my boss keeps hiring new people and yoinking our hours out from under us

About Yuval's Oscar Speech.

In the words of @stevesalaita ...

[samaa • سما @samaakhullar]

Every time Palestinians express their dissatisfaction at ceremonial wins that produce no tangible change, there is always a group of well-meaning "allies" who get extremely angry that we are not content with the crumbs this world has to offer us. It happens whenever an op-ed about Palestine written by a POC comes out in the NYTimes, or when an Arab author wins a prize from PEN, or when a liberal Israeli comes to a college campus to tell us about our own oppression. It happens when books (written by people who have benefitted from our subjugation) hit # 1, and, indeed, when an "Israeli-Palestinian" documentary wins an Oscar.

I'm not interested in debating the merit of the film, how well it was shot, its critical acclaim: many of you are missing the point. We do not need, and many of us do not want, our oppressors to validate our stories. In the same way we do not need a liberal Zionist like Yuval to get on stage and speak over us, we do not need a Haaretz or NYTimes journalist to break an "investigation" about the lived experiences of Palestinians that they have been yelling about for decades. This is a form of theater, a spectacle, and a lot of us are growing tired of it.

And yet, if we verbalize this, we are told that we are being "unreasonable," "unfair," "inflammatory," "unforgiving," "too harsh." We are asked "Did you even read/watch/visit __?!" (an insulting question to begin with; we do not need to view these things to understand the premise of it is problematic) and if we say yes, the follow-up is almost always a variation of "This is just pushing people away from the Pro-Palestine cause" and, of course, "Who do you think this is helping?"

But what some of you fail to understand is this is not about how other people feel, this is about our dignity and our refusal to keep accepting the bare minimum. Many of you have become way too comfortable telling Palestinians how we should feel about our own oppressors. What makes people comfortable enough to send us these patronizing messages. Do you not hear yourselves? Do you not read back your replies and think: perhaps this is a time for me to sit, observe, and listen, instead of speaking over the very people I claim to support? Liberal Zionism has become so pervasive in arts and culture, and it becomes clearer every day that the solidarity our allies show is, for the most part, conditional.

We are tired. We do not want awards or shoutouts from the same establishments that manufacture consent to kill us. We just want liberation. Please stop telling us to be content with what we've got and to just "let people be happy." We are not spectacles for your enjoyment. We've tried to appeal to the elite for decades and it hasn't gotten us very far. As always, this will make me the "never satisfied," "always angry" Palestinian. So be it.

Representations like No Other Land reinforce the idea that Palestinians and settlers are intertwined and define each other's identity. This ignores the fact that Palestinians existed without and before the settlers, but one cannot say the same for the settlers.

Kamala Harris took 9 million dollars from AIPAC and literally promised to keep arming and funding the genocide in Gaza with no restrictions.

[America The Ghetto @Lizzurr]

Palestinians do not need Israelis to co-sign their narratives,their history & their struggle.When Palestinian stories are represented in the media often times they are only seen as reliable & legitimate if it’s co-signed by Israelis but Israelis are not held to the same standard.

[Danya @dandoon_danya]

Notice the nefarious deceptive framing. Yuval absolving himself and other colonizers from the apparatus that is the "regime" where he lives "free". How do you live "free" under supremacist structures like Zionism? Who exactly upholds the Jewish supremacist Zionist state? He does!

[Danya @dandoon_danya]

Again, for the billionth time, Palestinians do not want to be EQUALs to a people colonizing our homeland. We want to be free from settler colonialism and from a zionist regime hellbent on our erasure. Yuval is part and parcel of that regime, though he pretends otherwise.

[Falastin Flip @TOliveFern]

I keep thinking about this quote by Assata Shakur, & more often in the last 16 months:

“Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them”

[America The Ghetto @Lizzurr]

I’m trying to not be a heartless person but Israelis, even the well meaning ones, constantly try to make the consequences they experience for participating in settler colonialism as suffering equivalent to that of being a victim of settler colonialism. There’s a lack of humility

[Danya @dandoon_danya]

didnt watch the oscars, dont care to watch the clip either. i have no room in my spirit to accommodate zionists like yuval, the most dangerous iteration of zionism is the kind that masquerades the colonizer as reasonable, caring, and concerned and as equivalent to the colonized.

[Dan Cohen @dancohen3000]

Zionism in 2025 is not fundamentally different than it was in 1895

[emmie 🇵🇸 @xcorvidae]

WOW I did NOT realize how much of the movie "delta force" is literally just straight up zionist propaganda what the fuck

The reasons to wear a mask are numerous, whereas the reasons NOT to wear a mask are basically just “it’s slightly inconvenient” and “the worst people on earth will give me weird looks for it”

Stop positioning trump and his ilk as some unique evil rather than the very predictable and obvious result of building an empire on genocide and white supremacy. How are this many people so bad at pattern recognition
