Reminder, not mentioning Hamas when criticizing the Israeli government, or even just criticizing the Israeli government at all, is not Antisemitic.
The IDF is committing genocide, period. Zionist Israel does not represent all Jewish people.
If I talk about the genocide of Indigenous people on Turtle Island, does that mean that I'm racist against Whites and spouting hate speech against all people descended from European settler nations?

"When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house [..] They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, to a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked out. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me [..] How could we have become what we opposed?
WEEK 30: Things have taken a dark turn in Atlanta. This is Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University, being taken off campus in handcuffs by Atlanta police.
AIPAC’s $25 Million Campaign to Unseat Jamaal Bowman in NY
The Israel lobby is seeking to oust lawmakers who have led calls for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“They don’t want anyone to be critical of the state of Israel", even when honest critique supports the safety & security of the people of Israel as well as the freedom of Palestine.

This isn't some anomalous occurrence due to the happenstance of a protest. They are like this 24/7/365, lying, cheating, brutalizing, doing everything they can to stay in power, and that's why they must be dismantled.
There is a better future ahead. If their rule was just, they wouldn't have to expend so much effort to maintain it.
🏥 Nurse honored for compassion fired after referring in speech to Gaza 'genocide' | @AP
"Labor and delivery nurse Hesen Jabr, who is Palestinian American, was being honored by NYU Langone Health for her compassion in caring for mothers who had lost babies when she drew a link between her work and the suffering of mothers in Gaza"
🗣️ PAY ATTENTION!
when in the United States people find mass graves, y'all need to start looking at those places not as archeological sites but crime scenes. the crime? #genocide
this is what #intersectionality is all about and why fascists are out to kill anybody who insists on using these cognitive and scholastic tools to uncover the real history of the United States.
About that #ceasefire veto vote by the Security Council:
The resolution was vetoed because the US-drafted language was weak ass baby shit. (That's the technical diplomatic term.)
There's a stronger, more explicit draft in process and the U.S. continues to demur, saying it will disrupt delicate negotiations. Bish, when your closest ally has become a genocidal murder bot, and your reelection hinges on turning the political tide in your favor, delicacy flies out the window.
I do not believe anything this admin is saying about negotiations as long as it keeps supplying aid and comfort to Israel. Not one word.
hello! This place seems nice. I look forward to meeting you!
so I guess quick intro is in order. I'm passionate about social justice, public health, and beautiful insects (and I think all insects are beautiful). I love music, books, photography and swimming in natural water bodies.
I'm an under-employed millennial woman living in the US, but I try to stay positive regardless 😉
WEEK 31: Students at UT Austin are fucking incredible. Here they are, literally charging at the police to drive them from the campus while they're being pepper sprayed, shouting "Who do you protect? Who do you serve?"
“Stop the genocide. Ensure accountability. Recognize Palestine and support its membership at the UN. Mobilise for Palestine freedom and we shall achieve peace, all of us together."

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, & loving the people who are doing the oppressing" - Malcom X
What is so difficult to accept in the idea that Palestinians should, like all other people, be free of the travail of deportations, curfews, bombardment, and general misery?
