So these european colonisers actually sold the land back to the indigenous Jews when they chose to return to europe, and now they're accusing Jews of stealing the land and expelling them? Lmao
yep they invented the nakba to project and distract from the way they treated jews living in muslim lands. 850,000 forced refugees and guess where most fled to lmao
(the nakba’s number is like 750,000. hilarious coincidence hmmm)

'Fantasy races/species must be analogous to the writer/reader/player's real life race politics' discourse has already been tread down to bedrock but the other day I saw someone on here saying that if you have a "Common" language in your fantasy setting it's because you mindlessly buy into imperial practices at best and openly support them at worst, and it's just like...
My guy. Use your imagination a little. Maybe there was a setting-spanning empire and the author is simply portraying a world shaped by its existence. Maybe there's a literal divine reason for why a bunch of people can communicate with each other despite coming from radically different geographical locations. Maybe it was as simple as the writer wanting the main characters to be able to communicate with the supporting characters/NPCs they encounter and you can afford to suspend your disbelief a little. Maybe the elves produced a lot of cultural exports so now the setting has a functional lingua franca. Must everything harbor a moral failure.
This “Nakba Survivor” is literally a “European settler”
It turns out that the “Nakba Survivor” who stars in Mayor Mamdani’s official NY City Hall Palestinian propaganda video yesterday, is literally a “European settler”.
In the late 19th century, Muslim Bosnians (including Inea’s grandparents), fled Bosnia to Ottoman Syria, after Austria-Hungary took control of Bosnia.
They feared that the Christians would seek revenge on Muslims after centuries of mistreatment by them.
The family then moved to Tulkarem which after 1948 was under Jordanian control, not Israeli. So there was no “nakba” there.
Because the Jewish population developed Jerusalem’s medical care under the British mandate, Inea herself was born in Jerusalem but the family remained in Tulkarem.
In the 1930’s, Inea’s father was offered a Job in England, he returned to Mandatory Palestine after a few years, but in 1948 they decided to move back to England.
They were not expelled, and no one forced them to move to England. In any case, Tulkarem, and the old city of Jerusalem remained under Jordanian Arab control. No Arabs were forced to leave from Tulkarem in 1948.
So in summary, this is a European with no strong roots in the land of Israel, whose family made the decision to immigrate back to the continent of their grandparents instead of remaining under Arab control in what was part of Jordan after 1948.
Furthermore the “visit Palestine” poster on Inea’s wall which is featured in the video is not a Palestinian Arab poster as Mayor Mamdani’s video implies. It is a Zionist poster designed and drawn by the Jewish artist Franz Kraus to encourage Jewish tourism to the holy land.
Final Fun Fact: When Bushnaq’s European grandparents arrived on boats to the Levant, Jews were already the biggest Community in Jerusalem.

this is what happens when people won't be transparent about how they're vetting things ig
I've also seen A LOT, like A LOT, of people sharing fundraisers and saying they're "vetted" by some blog - who, when I look, has never said they vetted it in any way, they just reblogged it.
And just about all of those fundraisers, like almost all of the Gaza fundraisers on here, have been OPENLY fake.
I don't mean they say, "This is a fake fundraiser," of course.
I mean that the name of the Gazan they're fundraising FOR is down at the bottom of the GoFundMe as the organizer, in someplace besides Gaza. Not as the beneficiary. And the beneficiary is also not in Gaza.
I'm gonna just throw "vetted" into the terrible Tumblr search engine, and take a screenshot of the first one I see. One sec....
The first link didn't give a beneficiary at all, so I tried the second, and yep.
I went through a bunch of other links just to see.
A lot of the fundraisers had disappeared. A lot of them didn't list a beneficiary, which I'm guessing is a new attempt to not get caught. And a lot of them were really outdated. Or on Chuffed, which scammers have been switching to specifically because it doesn't list the beneficiary.
It's kind of amazing. I have hope that someday, people will look back at the years when Tumblr was full of really blatant scams (and people pretending to vet them, then screaming at and publicly shaming anyone who questions them) and marvel at how easily a movement they were so passionate about got co-opted.

There is a recording making its way around Arab intelligence services this month. In it, Mahmoud Abbas, the 89-year-old president of the Palestinian Authority, serving twenty years into a four-year term, expresses quiet satisfaction that Saudi Arabia was struck by Iranian regime missiles during the war. He says, in the coded language Palestinian politicians use when they think nobody is listening, that the Saudis had it coming.
He did not know he was being recorded.
He knows now.
...
When Israel and the United States opened the war on the regime in Iran this spring, the Palestinian factions discovered something they had spent decades insulating themselves from. They were irrelevant to their own war. The biggest Middle East war in a generation was unfolding, and nobody in any serious capital was asking Ramallah or Gaza what they thought.
The Palestinian commentator Ahmad al- Attawna put words to it on Arab television:
"The Palestinian people clearly have no leadership, and I'm not speaking metaphorically; even in reality, there is no true leadership capable of presenting the Palestinian people with a vision or a sense of where they are headed."
That is a Palestinian, in Arabic, to an Arab audience, saying the thing Palestinian intellectuals have been whispering in private from Amman to Ramallah for years.
...
On paper, Mahmoud Abbas should have welcomed this war. The regime in Iran is the patron of his worst enemies; the force that expelled his government from Gaza in the 2007 coup and has been agitating against his rule in the West Bank ever since. The humbling of Tehran should have been the best month
Abbas had in twenty years.
Instead, he spent it nursing a grievance.
Saudi Arabia has spent the last several years reducing its financial support to the Palestinian Authority, the slow drawdown Gulf royals use to send a message. Abbas has never forgiven them.
...
So when Iranian missiles started landing in Riyadh, Abbas, if the recording is authentic, which every official I have spoken to about it believes it is, expressed joy in what he thought were private conversations. Open pleasure that the Saudis were getting what he felt they had coming.
The Saudis found out, as the Saudis always do.
...
What this month exposed is a truth the Palestinian national movement has spent fifty years concealing from the world and from itself.
It does not have principles. It has patrons. Hamas's loyalty to Iran lasted exactly as long as Iran was the strongest player in the room. Abbas's commitment to Arab solidarity lasted exactly as long as the Saudis were signing the checks.
Call this what it is. A franchise operation. Loyalty runs in one direction only: downward from the top, and evaporates the moment the royalty payments stop.
I have spent years being told, in every Western capital where I am invited to speak, that the Palestinian cause is the conscience of the Arab world. This month, the Arab world watched Hamas refuse to lift a finger for the regime that armed it for twenty years, and watched the president of the Palestinian Authority laugh at the destruction of the country that has paid his civil servants’ salaries for most of his presidency.
Therein lies the conscience of the Arab world.
Iran will punish Hamas quietly, the way Tehran punishes proxies who disappoint it: a late transfer, a missed shipment, a Quds Force contact who stops returning calls. The Saudis will decide what to do with Abbas, and my guess is that Mohammed bin Salman is already running the arithmetic on whether it is easier to replace the old man than to reform him. Saudi-Israeli normalization is back on the table, and MBS is not the kind of ruler who lets a man with a recording problem sit across the table of the deal that reshapes the region.
The Palestinian people, the actual people, the ones nobody in Ramallah or Doha or Tehran has consulted in decades, will be handed whatever arrangement the leaders decide to hand them.
That is the consequence of a leadership that spent a war performing for three audiences at once, and forgot the oldest rule of politics in the Arab world:
Someone in the room is always recording.
If this gave you a sharper picture of what just happened in the Arab world, forward it to one person who is still operating on 2023 assumptions.
He thought nobody was listening. The Saudis heard everything. And the Palestinian Authority will never recover.
Uh, a lot of what’s missing is “because grandpa was a despised minority like Jews or rroma” or “because grandpa spoke out against the regime” or “because grandpa was an artist or intellectual and therefore a threat to those in power”. Yeah, sometimes grandpa was a rich capitalist, but let’s get real: most of the wealthy capitalists had enough money to get out of dodge. They lived. The ones who stayed and died were too poor to run.
Yeah, first of all there is one castle in my country which has been public property since forever, and second of all, “rich bourgeouis and therefore an enemy of the people to have his property taken at gunpoint and be sentenced in absentia to a mass grave or death camp” was a title awarded to anyone who had a small shop or a cow, i. e. what you pampered pumpkin spice latte asses call “owning the means of production”.
My great-grandpa was almost killed for the grand crime of owning a couple hectares of farm land he was working with his family. The only reason he survived? He was working in the forge when the commie scum came to put a bullet in his head and was dirty. They laughed that he can’t be a land owner and walked away.
As a “funny” historical side note: the reason, why the Polish writer Gustaw Herling-Grudziński (1919-2000), a Jew btw., was sentenced to five years of gulag after being arrested by the NKVD, was because the prosecutor accused him of being a relative of Hermann Göring, the Field Marshal of the German Air Force.
Because you know, “Herling” sounds kinda like “Göring”, so it’s logical, that a Polish Jew must be a relative of one of the most important people in the Third Reich, right?
And that ladies and gentlemen is the level of quality justice, that you can expect from any Communist court.
Aren’t these dumbasses against the death penalty? How can you not want to kill someone that’s raped and murdered people, but you’re fine with the government killing anyone that’s rich, or well-off, or comfortably middle-class?
Because their idea of justice isn’t based on what you’ve done, but who you are. A “bourgeois” state killing people is bad not because killing is bad, but because it is a “bourgeois” state doing the killing.
“my grampa/great-uncle was killed by the communists” lol he was a rich capitalist then?
no, he was a penniless student in Kiev that died first during the Holomodor because he couldn’t afford food.
no, he was a beggar in Berlin that took a bullet for staying too close from the Berlin Wall.
no, he was just the cousin of a guy who had managed to go through the border and they wanted to get informations and make an example.
no, he was a shop employee in Moscow who ran out of paper during an order and took a piece of newspaper to write the rest, but wrote “two boxes of soap” in a picture of Staline and was sentenced to death for blasphemy.
no, he was actually one of their own soldiers but he refused to kill a farmer just because the guy didn’t want to forfeit his only cow to the kolkhoze.
no, he was a former prisonner of war who came back home to Cracow to discover his family had been murdered, and he was arrested the next day because he shouldn’t have trespassed in his own house that was now property of the government.

is that woman character actually “not well written” or are you just not paying attention to her. is that woman character actually “less interesting” or do you just not care about her.
She is presented the perfect wife for Victor Frankenstein because she is a docile woman who will submit to Victor's every need. Victor had ambition he was involved in the enlightenment and particularly associated with enlightenment men. Shelley (through a feminist lens as her mother, Mary Wollstonecraft wrote 'A vindication of the rights of women', and of her husband Percy Shelley and his (kinda)feminist poetry) was condemning the actions and desire of the enlightenment men to attempt to conquer nature, as they tried to conquer women. Victor even says he would "pursue nature to her hiding places" which is just straight up predatory I think.
ALSO she does not get ONE word in the book unless its about Victor it shows how self centred Victor is even in his love for Elizabeth. He calls her "possession of my own", which just shows how much he treats her as an addition to his idealistic enlightenment life, another accessory to the "resolved will of man". She was always described with such tenderness Victor himself said she had a "saintly soul" which again goes to show how women were viewed purely as pure innocent creatures created solely as second hand to men. And Shelley was doing this all on purpose she was criticising the actions of enlightenment men.
actually tbh pregnancy as a concept would not suck so much in fiction if women were allowed to be mothers and also fully fleshed out characters outside of that role. a lot of men in media get to be fully fleshed out characters even if they have children; the mentor role is infamous - but women don't particularly get to occupy the same three dimensionality men do when it comes to guiding children. which is a shame because i find stories about the interiority of mothers or women authority figures to be some of the most fascinating. but in the eyes of society, mothers are demanded to be perfect in a way fathers aren't, so having a flawed woman mentor figure is much rarer in media.
"The majority of casualties have been in the Gaza Strip. The GHM total casualty count does not distinguish how Palestinians were killed, whether from Israeli airstrikes and artillery barrages or other means, like errant Palestinian rocket fire, but describes all casualties as victims of "Israeli aggression".[18]"
From the page about causalities in gaze
yk based on that one reblog of mine I don't think Wikipedia is a good source, but the fact even they admit this is pretty funny. Even they can't hide the fact the GHM counts all deaths (even those caused by hamas/similar groups) as Israeli aggression.
