she got burned at the stake for wearing men's clothes, she was a teenage warrior protecting her country with whole patriarchal systems against her, show some fucking respect

sometimes a trans woman wins against a cis woman. sometimes a cis woman wins against another cis woman too. yet only one of them is allowed to win without facing consequences.

How many Arab states have “Arab Republic” in their formal names? They massacre, oppress, forcibly assimilate non-Arab indigenous minorities like the Kurds, the Assyrians, the Copts. Why should they get to exist if Israel can’t? Israel does nothing comparable. Palestine’s constitution explicitly defines the country as Arab, which has been Fatah’s position since it adopted its founding charter in 1964. That same Palestinian constitution guarantees safety and citizenship to Muslims and Christians only; their country, whatever its borders, will be Judenrein.

Israel is a nation-state. It represents the self-determination of its majority ethnic population. This is an international norm, whether explicit or implicit, from Japan, the Koreas, and China (Han), through Central Asia and the Middle East (Afghan is a synonym for Pashtun) to Europe. The only continents that are the exception are sub-Saharan Africa, due to the influence of imperialism, and the Americas, which contain by definition the quintessential settler-colonial states.

So why is Israel the only country whose basic existence El-Sayed puts into question? Israel, with non-Jewish cabinet ministers, supreme court judges, senior military officers, disproportionately large numbers of doctors, etc. is your classic liberal nation-state. It is certainly far better to be an Arab in Israel than Roma anywhere in Europe, much less a minority of any kind in most of the rest of the world, namely the Arab world of El-Sayed’s parents.

I think we all know the answer. The very concept of Jewish self-determination, of Jewish empowerment and autonomy, of access and influence, strikes him as unnatural. It’s a basic presumption in much of the world, especially the Muslim world. Jews are expected to be a subject people, not an independent one; if that subordinate status is removed, then something fundamentally wrong is happening in the order of things. I doubt it’s even something El-Sayed can articulate; it’s more an unexamined prejudice that he frames as justice. Why else would he not speak the same way of Egypt or Sweden or Nepal, with whose existence he has no problem?

it's not. there's nothing reductive or shameful about having a uterus, ovaries, a vagina. it's just a body.

saying "woman means adult human female" isn't reducing anyone. it's not an insult.

-XYZ is bisexual.

-XYZ is Muslim.

also wikipedia:

-XYZ is of Jewish descent.

-XYZ has Jewish parents.

but later on they clarify that she freed herself from being “ethnically charged” so it’s all good now

But I also think a lot of these women need to ask themselves a simple question: why were you ok with them doing this to Israeli women? When Hasan Piker said that he “didn’t care” if women were raped on Oct 7th, when they called Israeli women who came forward about their assaults liars, when they mocked the suffering of the hostages and said that Hamas “treated them well”, when they said they deserved it, when they joked that they were “too ugly to be raped”, where was your outrage over that behavior then? Why were you silent when it was Israeli women, and why did you think it would stop there?

Wrong. Here is a DIRECT testimony from a woman who was sexually abused on October 7th.

And this isn't even from October 7th

Now, you are providing a better source than the average zionist, but I'm still using this Electronic Intifada video:

And by the way… do you think Arabic is an indigenous language to the Levant? Because it’s not. It arrived there from colonization, just like how it arrived in Egypt, in Morocco, in basically anywhere outside of… the ARABIAN peninsula. Like do you think the ancient Canaanites or ancient Egyptians spoke Arabic???

Anyway, the reality is that there's a very decent chance she's lying; I'm all for believing victims, but Israel has been proven to have lied about October 7th, and rapes on October 7th specifically.

There's literally no victims of rape of Oct 7th; I mean, there's no names, no photos, no evidence, just "it's happened, I swear!" from people who told incredibly outlandish stories later proven to bee false. If it'd actually happened we'd known who they were, Israel would never let us forget.

So, no I'm not gonna believe some fucking Mexican who was in an occupied territory for some cursed reason (No disrespect meant to Mexico, btw, I lived there during my formative years and I have a lot of love for this country)

Anyway, here's another report for EI from Dic 2023, that quickly we knew this was nonsense. And it even makes fun of you!

Yeah that’s all I needed to hear from you.

?????

I support their right to live on their traditional lands and for the state not to open new mines on them...?

Like, Sweden decided to move an entire city to Sámi traditional reindeer herding areas after SBAB mined underneath the city to the degree that the entire city was going to collapse into the mine. (The city of Kiruna was already on Sámi lands to begin with). That's how awful Sweden is towards the Sámi people.

The Sámi are supposed to have constitutional minority rights as an indigenous people, but the Swedish state consistently shits on those rights without consequence, and no one on the Swedish left cares even a little bit.

And when SBAB (the state mining company) recently found rare earth minerals in the area and wanted to open up a new mine, they announed their plans to open a new mine on lands that would make reindeer herding impossible for this one sameby, Gabna sameby - and they didn't even tell them in advance.

The Sámi people's right to practice reindeer herding and husbandry on their traditional land is legally protected - and that doesn't seem to matter in the slightest.

SBAB has had beef with Gabna village specifically for over a 100 years, and now they're finally in a position to make traditional living for them impossible - and no one in Sweden gives a single fuck.

Sweden gets penalised in the European Court of Human Rights for how we treat the Sámi so often it's like how often Israel gets penalised by the UN - the only difference is that in the case of the Sámi it's actually deserved.
