#privilige

This is your daily reminder, that studying? education? reading books?

It is all a privilige.

-

Like I understand your anger but you are just feeding the problem, I have felt this exact feeling before and I've once made these exact same jokes, but even if it is just a joke not all people can pick up on that and even if they understand you are still feeding the problem.

Try going to therapy, venting in a journal or to a close friend, posting educational content about the shit you face so you can educate people, literally anything else than feeding the problem.

Just gonna leave this here...

Newly elected Labour MP Zarah Sultana told a Jewish student it was “privilege” that allowed them to argue for a peaceful solution to the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the JC has learned.

In a series of social media posts she has since deleted, the Coventry South MP also said students who “go to Zionist conferences and trips should be ashamed of themselves” because they were advocating “racist ideology”.

Ms Sultana – who spoke at the launch of Rebecca Long-Bailey’s Labour leadership campaign at an event last Friday - also wrote that “those who lobby for Israel” would “in the near future feel the same shame and regret as South African Apartheid supporters.”

The 26-year-old made headlines last week with a maiden speech in the House of Commons in which she thanked “Jewish comrades” before decrying what she called “40 years of Thatcherism”.

She became an MP at last month’s General Election, although her seat's Labour majority fell from 8,000 to just 405 votes.

Ms Sultana studied at Birmingham University but has deleted social media posts from her time as an outspoken pro-Palestine campaigner – including comments the JC previously revealed in which she said she would “celebrate” the deaths of Tony Blair and Benjamin Netanyahu.

But in a series of further posts, Ms Sultana responded to a Union of Jewish Students member who had argued for the possibility of a peaceful resolution in the Middle East, writing: “It is your privilege that lets you sit on the fence about what’s happening.

“It is your privilege that lets you speak on stage and call for peace.”
