يوميات جرح فلسطيني

The thing about the right wing grift on the internet is the amount of villains it's birthed and my fave is definitely Maia Poet like she's such a "why I left the left" caricature that not even the world's best satirist could come up with

The thing that annoys me about UEFA’s little stunt is how performative it seems. They wouldn’t kick Israel out of its federation, didn’t want to boycott men’s cup in US but now want to take a stance due to FIFA’s corruption? We’ve been in the know about the FIFA’s corruption for many years now.

Mamdani’s position on Palestine is like the bare minimum, the only difference is that he’s quite loud about it compared to others who just pay lip service to “peace” yet he’s being painted by Zionists as wanting to chase Jews out of NYC. And they wonder why they’re losing support.

Zionists constantly complain about things like “oh people started calling it genocide or protesting before Israel had even responded to Oct 7” implying that no one cares about dead Israelis or that Jews should roll over and die but in reality it is always Palestinians who are expected to just roll over and die. 70k dead in Gaza? No biggie, they were all Hamas anyway! Palestinians constantly murdered by the IOF in the West Bank? We pretend we didn’t see it. Palestinians resist? Get called terrorists. Palestinians do nothing? Get killed anyway.

i was planning on creating a new substack that was primarily longform political essays (i know, i know.. there is no shortage of them) but for some reason that fell through (i have the substack but havent written anything) but with the increase of right wing rhetoric i see online, it might be worth launching it as a way of writing pieces directly countering that rhetoric (especially anti-migrant stuff and the usual zionist talking points) or even just writing pieces about whatever stuff i might be thinking about or interested in in that moment

Israelis constantly squeal at the notion of being called colonisers but so much of how Israel acts today and even in its rhetoric really just mimics colonial powers of the past. Colonial and imperial powers also used to unleash methods of collective punishment as a way to squash rebellions, if one civilian (or even soldier) from the colonial entity got hurt, colonisers had no problem murdering hundreds of the colonised peoples just to avenge that one civilian. Colonial powers would frequently seize land for whatever purpose they saw fit, they’d destroy local economies and pillage resources for their own benefit all to the detriment of the natives. But I think the rhetoric is where it really shows from the painting of Jews as exclusive victims to the dismissal and denial of Palestinian suffering, to even just the arrogant hubris of Zionists and even bragging at times when Israel would assassinate certain figures whilst chucking a tantrum at the mere mention of arresting Netanyahu for war crimes. There’s so much more I could mention but as I said, Israel’s behaviour really just speaks for itself!

The US and Israel have always carried out "justice" against its opponents in the form of extrajudicial assassinations, so really it's a bit silly that reporter asked Mamdani if he'd also arrest the leaders of Hamas who perpetrated October 7, aside from the fact that Hamas as an organisation are not party to the ICC due to being non-state actors and that both Deif and Sinwar are dead!
