I need EVERY single Jew and person that even talked about the football riot in Amsterdam and anyone that remotely cares about Jews and their safety/comfort to listen up
Today in the Netherlands the a racist organisation/group that wants to normalise blackface has held rallies doing actual n@z! Salutes and our government has yet to call this antisemitism/talk about this in general. They have been holding racist rallies for YEARS now and our government always excuses racism and antisemitism within these contexts. The context of white people doing it.
Instead our police and politicians are again blaming muslim/arab/morroccan communities. The blatant racism, xenophobia and islamophobia is palpable
The video here is blurred because of the blackface
Shut up about Israel in my comments here please this is a post about the Netherlands

its always been really obvious who considers genocide just another day in US foreign policy and who considers it a red line but it's really disappointing to see how easy it has been for democrats to exploit the idea of "palestinian rights or your rights? shut up about genocide or vote for trump?"
this is a false dichotomy. you are under no obligation to perpetuate it. vote for whoever you want but don't say say the biden administration supports a ceasefire because this is disinformation
white house propaganda #1: kamala has called for a ceasefire
since january the white house has rebranded a "humanitarian pause" as a ceasefire
joe biden has called for "a ceasefire" since february
in may joe biden said rafah was a red line and the US would not support the invasion of rafah (rafah has since been invaded and destroyed, after which netanyahu was invited to congress)
in early may the white house proposed a three-step plan to an actual ceasefire, which israel rejected and then killed the hamas leader they were negotiating with
the white house has not been forthcoming about israel being the one rejecting the ceasefire, nor israel's escalation within the region
the white house has not been forthcoming about the contradiction between "calling for a ceasefire" and continued weapons shipments to the people preventing a ceasefire
as such, the repeated calls for "ceasefire," just like the articles about biden's strongly worded calls to netanyahu, are political threatre to pacify the masses that have allowed a genocide to continue for ten months unabated. insofar, kamala's call for ceasefire is exactly the same as biden's call for ceasefire.
white house propaganda #2: the biden admin has actually stopped sending offensive weapons to israel
literally untrue: the US paused ONE shipment of 2,000 pound bombs and some 500 pound bombs in may after denouncing a potential rafah invasion, then resumed the 500 pound bombs in july after the invasion occurred with multiple massacres
a 3.5 billion military aid package was sent on august 9th, 2024, to be spent on pretty much whatever israel wants
previously imposed symbolic "sanctions" on only one unit of the IDF accused of crimes against humanity was overturned
imposed "sanctions" on 7 (seven!) extremist settlers were clarified to make sure they still had access to their assets
the biden admin opposed ICC warrants on israel as early as 2021, leading to consistent delays in the ICC doing its job, and rejected the announcement for warrants in 2024, which have still not been actually sought due to the US continuing to exert pressure against the ICC
the white house also criticized the advisory finding from the international court of justice that israel is an apartheid state
the white house has vetoed multiple security council resolutions calling for a ceasefire in gaza
the white house vetoed resolutions calling for the admission of palestine as a member state
the white house also called the case for genocide at the ICJ "unfounded" although the ICJ did find sufficient evidence for genocide and had imposed provisionary measures (which israel did not fulfill)
the white house has reaffirmed full backing for israel "against iran" even after its escalatory assassinations of both lebanese and palestinian political leaders, and deployed more troops, aircraft carriers, and missile cruisers to the middle east in august
therefore, while the biden admin acknowledges that israel stands in the way of a ceasefire, they are not pressuring israel to stop and instead providing both diplomatic immunity and military support to its escalatory actions in the region
white house propaganda #3: the US can't control israel, it acts on its own, and kamala can't do anything about it
once again, reagan ended the israeli invasion of lebanon with a single phone call to menachem begin, where he intentionally said "it looks like a holocaust"
since obama, every single US president has been fostering and empowering increasingly extremist elements within israel, moreso than republicans who came before them, including bush(!!)
while trump moved the capital to jerusalem, defunded UNRWA, and approved annexation of the west bank, biden... did not move the capital back, also defunded the UNRWA, and has overseen the largest theft of west bank territory since the peace process began, as well as delisting kahanist terrorists from the terror list after they joined netanyahu's cabinet.
how much does israel actually rely on US weaponry? that's impossible to tell, but national security correspondent greg myre told NPR:
The IDF is a primarily American-equipped military. Most soldiers probably still have the M-16s. And there are certain kinds of artillery and guided rocket systems that Israel produces, but, again, most of it is American. Tanks are actually made in Israel but with an American engine, and aircraft are American. These are American-made systems. [...] So Israel has its own advanced military technology. It's been a leader in drone warfare. The Iron Dome system, we noted, was developed jointly between the U.S. and Israel. A lot of cyber systems have military applications. But when it comes to the hardware - planes, artillery, guns - it does rely heavily on the U.S.
the US might not have as much influence on israel as it used to (and certainly israel would like to think so) but in the most basic compliance with international law the US can halt weapons shipments and recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC and ICJ, ending the diplomatic immunity it affords israel in the international arena to continue its genocide of gaza.
the UK is hardly much better, but it has withdrawn its intention to block the ICC warrants for israeli leaders and it has resumed funding the UNRWA, two low bar concessions that the US has refused.
these are regular political maneuvers. your civil rights should not be held hostage so the US can protect israel. it makes no sense for democrats to frame it that way while also claiming to want a ceasefire.
if kamala wants a ceasefire, why isn't she agreeing with the pro-palestine movement? their demands are all things that are in-line with wanting a ceasefire. an arms embargo is the natural step to a ceasefire, because you cannot say you want a ceasefire and then send 3.5 billion in military aid to the people who assassinated the negotiators for a ceasefire.
if kamala wants a ceasefire, and you want to vote for kamala, then you should encourage her to take the steps towards a ceasefire. otherwise you are running cover for genocide, just as biden's admin has been doing. your civil rights are not based on continued support for palestinian genocide, and they shouldn't be. to pretend otherwise is a betrayal of all the civil rights activists in the US, who knew that US foreign policy, from the war in vietnam to the iraq war, were unjust imperial wars, and they opposed them unconditionally, regardless of who was perpetrating this war.
here's some more updates on the democratic party's role in escalating israel's war in lebanon and palestine, from this week (september 26th, 2024)
propublica investigation on anthony blinken lying to congress about israel preventing humanitarian aid in order to continue sending arms to israel
israel launches war on lebanon with the highest first-day death toll in recent memory
The death count is also one of the highest daily tolls in recent global wars, and could rise because people are still believed to be trapped under the rubble in Lebanon.
War death tolls are estimates, and exact comparisons between conflicts are difficult. But the toll on Monday in Lebanon exceeded most daily tolls in Gaza over the past year and more than doubled the average daily death rate during the deadliest year of the Syrian civil war.
despite this, the US refuses to admit this is an escalation of israeli aggression, nor a regional war despite the DNC changing its language on lebanon:
instead the US is calling this "de-escalation through escalation" also known as "war is peace" also known as war-mongering propaganda
the US has since sent more troops to the current 40,000 troops stationed in the middle east to support israel
the US has (today, september 26th 2024) secured 8.6 billion in military aid to israel as netanyahu prepared to address the UN in nyc
i think we can dispense with the idea that the democratic party (and of course, the republican party) has any interest in de-escalating, and that joe biden and kamala have decided to let israel's problems become their problems despite the upcoming election.
what the democratic party has an interest in is gaslighting you. they will continue to pretend they are not whole-heartedly facilitating an increasingly bloody regional war that is continuing solely because israel refuses to stop genociding palestinians in gaza. this is the highest death toll in a single day in lebanon, and the highest death toll in palestine since 1948, and democrats want you to believe it is simply business as usual in the middle east. it is not.
bad politics, bad policies, bad people at a bad time.
President Joe Biden formally announced his bid for reelection Tuesday, setting off a battle to convince the country his record merits anothe
Well here we are America. This fucking walking sundown syndrome is running for President again. And now, I choose violence.
I mean shiiiiiiid. Biden started his re-election already lying!
Advisers weigh the merits of a one-term pledge by the 77-year-old former vice president.
Is this where we at America? Yβall about to start pulling out all of the stops to vote for the decrepit old rapist for 2024. Lesser of two evils? Making the world less shitty? βHarm Reduction?β
Well I wonβt let you.
Holding Biden accountable is impossible for yβall even if you truly actually meant it. So this is about holding you, pussy ass liberals accountable. How low would you really fucking go to appease the Democratic Party? What principle would you sacrifice to re-elect this monstrosity of a candidate in the wake of an incoming climate collapse?
You canβt hide behind abortion because Biden allowed Roe v Wade to be overturned and once it was, did absolutely fuck all about it when he had the ability to do something about it? Canβt lie about protecting the climate because Biden has been just as anti-climate as Trump if not worse. He has militarized the police, started another war while instigating another war with China, kept those kids in cages, and done everything they feared Trump would do. So whatβs the play now?
He is just going to keep lying to your face about it to stay elected.

Are you going to cover for him, Liberal? And I mean liberal in a John Locke sense because I know you guys are ideologically illiterate so I have to make myself clear.
The man is unfit and before you ask, βWhat else should we do?β
Do literally anything else because voting for Biden does nothing. He is essentially a George Bush Republicans and a relic of the Clintonian/Dixiecrat past.
But itβs a Lyinβ Biden and that means itβs fucking go time.
I don't know @sussexlavender, I just donβt think I'd support someone who supports two different genocides via funding them and supplying them weapons or offering to assist with their ethnic cleansing. I think my bar is higher than supporting a genocide enabler but I guess I am high maintenance.
But we will get to that. Because!!!!!!
It's TIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!! FOR ANOTHER LYIN' BIDEN!!!!1!
Here we have Biden saying that he has seen pictures of Hamas beheading children. Now this has not been confirmed at all except by Joe Biden. I wonder if he has actually seen these pictures of beheaded children.
Source
So he heard from his best buddy, Benji who swore to him that it's true. But of course, it goes without saying....BIDEN LIEEEEEEED!!!!
Are you fucking serious? But sure, nowhere in this post or the previous one have I ever supported voting for a Republican. I don't know how you keep creating this figment of your comprehension. But I am pissed off and today, I am going to fulfill my promise to make an example out of you and dicapitoe
So of course Joe Biden supports Israel. He always has. Can't hold him accountable for supporting genocide and apartheid when from jump has always championed Israel desire to do that. But sure, let's list the broken promises, shall we?
He broke his promise to ban fracking.
He has lied about ending Family separation at the border.
Biden waives Federal Land Grants to continue to build the border wall.
He has continued Trump's plan to privatize the USPS by keeping the guy who was actively tasked to take it down under the previous administration in the same position so he can continue to do so
But hey, at least I am not supporting someone who said this.
Maybe I am not a huge proponent of Bidenomics....
Source because I know you motherfuckers can't read the small text.
Maybe I don't like championing the fact that Ukrainians are being used to fight in US's proxy war and while I do support Ukraine's need for resistance, I find it particularly distasteful to see it as a good financial expense as Ukrainians lose their lives to trench warfare.
Maybe, as a black man, I don't support giving the police more money so Joey Back the Blue can position himself to the right of most Republicans.
I think I am being reasonable here in that I don't want to support Joe Biden because he is very similar to Trump. I'd get the same shit under Trump so why bother?
But yeah, keep assuming that I am this sock puppet account trying to discourage people from voting blue. I don't need to do that. Biden does a terrific job at it by himself.
U.S. President Joe Biden's popularity was near the lowest level of his presidency this month as Americans' concerns over immigration rose to
so fun how you're throwing all this shade and proposing absolutely no actionable solution! "dont vote biden!" okay what should usamericans do then? "dont vote biden!!!". cool. so smart. this is how progress gets made. /s
dont fall for this shit yall. remember; any post that tries to get you riled up about a problem without any actionable advice is not to be taken seriously.
if you can vote, vote. vote on every level of govt you can.
First, Iβll going to say this with absolutely clear transparency:
I am not your fucking organizer.
Figure it out, you fucking genocide apologist. If you actually cared about anything beyond voting.
I donβt care if you vote for Biden. But donβt fucking act like you are making some dignified stance when you are not. Itβs not an act of lesser of two evils. Itβs simply choosing the evil that doesnβt effect you in anyway. Itβs not βharm reduction.β Itβs harm redistribution. And you fuckers are too comfortable to shame people from having any criticisms or reservations about genocide Joe in spite of knowing how unelectable of a candidate he is now.
Fam, this was last updated in December. And here is a variation of advice from a sign that held by an infant protestor.
If criticizing Biden for killing people and lying to his constituents bothers you, take that up with the Democratic Party who immediately ignored all polling that no one actually wants to vote for Biden and wanted an alternative and then refused to hold primary debates or even in some states, actually put any other candidate on the ballot.
This your genocidal denying grave that you dug for yourself liberal.
This is the racist segregationist candidate that you chose to boot out to replace another racist segregationist candidate.
This is the Genocide that Bitcher Biden, the nigga yβall want to cape for, is complicit in.
This is the redistributed harm that you chose as acceptable.
I am from a little school of thought that states no politician is entitled to your political vote. You fuckers are too fucking comfortable in shaming people and thatβs what this is about.
You should be ashamed. You should be scared. You should be compelled into action instead of sitting there like a little armchair political strategist asking me, someone who works in a union and feeds homeless people on my weekends, on what political action you should take.
Because every fucking Liberal has decided to piss me offβ¦..
Iiiiitttttssss TIME! For the Final Lyinβ Biden!!!!!!!
Tumblr will want to call me the greatest Russian Chaos Agent!!! Nigga Iβm still here!!! From Ferguson to George Floyd, this blog is still on its bullshit.
Letβs start with his foreign policy.
Bidenβs legacy will be filled with death and chaos in the Middle East.
President Biden ordered retaliatory strikes against the militias whose attacks in Erbil this month killed one civilian contractor and wounde
The military initially defended the strike, which killed 10 civilians including seven children, but ultimately called it a tragic mistake.
Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia is central to ongoing U.S. efforts to offset Iranβs expansionist ambitions in the Middle East
(This one contributed to one of many humanitarian crisis in Yemen btw)
The Biden administration faces relentless pressure from the left to push Saudi Arabia to lift its Yemen blockade.
President Joe Biden says the leader of the Islamic State group has been killed in Syria during an operation by an elite U.S. military force.
Killing children is something of a past time Biden and BiBi have in common.
The president intends to use the Afghan central bankβs assets to fund needs in Afghanistan amid a humanitarian disaster, and compensate vict
Central Command says the raids on Deir Az Zor were aimed at protecting US forces from attack by Iran-linked groups.

(I know Somalia is in Africa)
Human rights groups sued government agencies for info about Afghans stuck at processing sites while their applications to come to the U.S. a
Donβt worry I am saving Israel for last.
But of course it has come to this. Biden literally chose Chicagoβs worst to be an ambassador purely based on political favor.
U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed President Joe Bidenβs selection of Rahm Emanuel as ambassador to Japan Wednesday, citing the form
Biden helped Rahm fail upwards from corrupt mayor who covered up footage of cops brutally murdering a black man to ambassador of Japan. He also made stop and Frisk Mike Bloomberg the chairman of the Pentagonβs Defense Innovation Board. The man packed his foreign policy with political favors and yes, men.
Biden has perennially increased the military budget.
Not once.
Not twice.
But three times.
And the Pentagonβs budget as well.
I mean for fuckβs sake, he has spent more than 18 times on the Pentagon than climate change.
And with those budgets, he has sold and sowed nothing but death in chaos.
Like he continued Trumpβs policy on exporting Land Mines.
And exporting Drones.
Proposed sending troops to Haiti after having the President assassinated. And yes, he did it.
Supporting a coup in Venezuela
Bombing Somalia
Licensing riot gear and weapons to Peru after ousting far left President to quell protests and riots.
Selling faulty munitions to Ukraine to continue the quagmire that is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Biden is a regular death dealer.
I mean Guantanamo Bay, that torture camp that he promised to close down, is worse under him than Trump!
But letβs get to Israel because wooo boy.
Letβs start with the fact that Biden has spent more on Israel than Climate Change.
Biden himself once said you can always tell what a politician values when you look at their budget and this man values death of brown people and genocide.
Donβt even need to look at the financials as human rights donβt mean shit to Biden either. He will defend wholesale genocide from being prosecuted to defend Israel.
He will commit to his bestie BiBi and be Genocide Bros with him.
Israel wants to expand the illegal settlements into Palestinian Land? Biden backs you.
Israel wants to pull to some antidemocratic shit? Well the so called champion and defender of Democracy will invite his best friend over and has some tea.
He will even send an aircraft carrier to assist in the slaughter of Palestinians.
Ladies and fellas, get you a person who got you like Biden got Israel.
βBut Ubernegro, thatβs foreign policy. He has been Good domestically.β
Mass deportations of Haitians because he has always hated Haiti.
Using Title 42 to expel nearing 2,000,000 people in spite of courtβs saying he canβt.
Holding over 22000 people in ICE cages, over 7000 more than Trump ever did.
Extending Trumpβs Title 42 usage without due process.
Continuing Trumpβs Remain in Mexico policy.
Refusing to compensate families separated by Trump. And then arguing that they donβt deserve compensation in court.
The infamous Horse Border Patrol Unit
Placing immigrants in a prison in Louisiana thatβs described as having a culture of that can lead to abuse.
Finishing Trumpβs Border Wall. Continuing to seize land for it. And never once trying put it a stop to it.
Continuing family separation at the border and keeping kids in cages while keeping them in inhumane conditions
Continuing the law that punishes immigrants by deporting them for petty offenses like broken taillights.
Using ICE to hold more than 30,000 migrants in detention centers which is the most since 2020
Deporting over 25000 Haitians, including children back to Haiti
Absolutely allowing red states to commit gross violations of human rights on migrants such as kidnapping. No wonder he blocked media access to the Border.
Expanding Title 42 to five more countries.
And funding the fuck out of ICE with more money than any of the Trump years
And having no intention of providing vaccine access to the over 20,000 migrants detained by ICE
Who needs Trump when you got Joey Genocide?
But thatβs just immigration.
Only canceling student debt for those making above 125k. Trying to means test student debt relief.
Cutting federal unemployment benefits to make his unemployment numbers look better(and thatβs why you canβt tout his unemployment rate being low, ya libs)
Approving over 3000 driving permits on public land and doing so at a higher rate than Trump
Demanding the Supreme Court that federal agents cannot be held accountable for retaliating against free speech
Sending more military equipment to Police than Trump
Labeling BLM protesters as terrorists like Trump
Allowing oil to continue to flow through the Dakota Access Pipeline. Approving the Willow Project. Defending a mining project that cut through Apache land.
Outpacing Trump for new Oil and Gas Permits.
Refusing to call for a climate emergency during multiple climate crises.
Refusing to order the Pentagon to recall the billions of dollars of weapons they loaned to police
Breaking yet another promise and defending huge Trump oil project to continue
Not passing the promised $15 minimum wage(or failing to use a bully pulpit on Sinema or firing the parliamentarian)
Lying about those $2000 stimulus checks(that nigga owe us money)
Allowing Congress members to continue insider trading through their family members by not choosing a side
Openly championing to fund the police more and using copaganda talking points to exaggerate crime. And granting law enforcement over 300 million to hire more police. Even vetoing DC crime bill
Attempting to block a lawsuit declaring that there is no constitutional right to a stable climate system.
Stopping a policy that forces American think tanks to disclose public spending.
Allowing the Covid death toll to exceed 1 million and even hiding the spread by changing Covid map parameters and even saying the pandemic is over prematurely.
No more coming around these parts talking Vote Blue No Matter Who or how Trump is worse. Hush on all that shit. Shut the fuck up.
If you want to vote Biden, do it knowing that itβs not because of some sanctimonious justification that you are protecting people from a greater harm. You demand absolute fealty of others to support anyone with a D next to their name expecting things either become worse or the same. Itβs not expecting Biden to be perfect. Voting is a tool and when that tool is going to enable and enact genocide no matter whatβ¦
Time to use a different tool.
So this is it. The big bonanza. No more of this shit. Fuck out of my face.

Physically in Ireland While my Bleeding Soul is Held Hostage in Gaza
Being away from Gaza in the midst of a devastating war turns every second into a heart-wrenching vicious circle of pain. Simple everyday activities like having breakfast, drinking water, and going for a walk turn into heart-bursting torture. It is nearly impossible to focus on any of my studies or be productive when fear and guilt are holding my brain and soul as prisoners. Yet, as I was evacuated to Ireland to pursue my studies four months into the war, I had a responsibility to give lectures in my Irish college to students and staff to expose the crimes of apartheid Israel and tell the story of the daily suffering of my people during a genocidal war.
Please donate, reblog, and share my fundraiser with others.
People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".β¦ Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;
Been hearing a lot of people parroting the propagandized idea that "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free!" is an inherently anti-semitic slogan. Immediately upon hearing it, this stinks of anti-Palestinian bias; only the worst faith interpretation of the phrase possible could be taken as even slightly problematic, and I doubt Columbia student protestors mean it in that bad of faith.
But there is a specific assertion that I found particularly fishy:
(if you harass this person, i will be disappointed in you. Feel free to block though.)
This is a big claim: That the phrase originally called for Arabic supremacy over the land, and by saying a 'translated version' of it that has a completely different literal meaning, you are also calling for Arabic supremacy and the ethnic cleansing of Jews. If this is true, this could mean there are violent anti-Semites at your child's school, revolting in support of a new anti-Semitic state! Gasp!
Wait, wait, slow down, don't get wound up so quick! before we act on what we just heard and repost it without a second thought, let's look into it and find a source that isn't complete conjecture from a Tumblr blog!
There's an easy place to start: Wikipedia. I know, I know, you shouldn't cite it in your essay, but it might have some sources that are useful for us! Okay, scrolling.. perfect, a blurb detailing exactly how it was used in the 60's!
Okay, so immediately, we have an example of a pro-Palestinian organization, which predates Hamas, using the phrase to mean something completely different from what the commenter claimed. Now, they would probably wrinkle their nose at the original intent, the "call for an Arab state", and interpret it to be a call for ethnic cleansing. I would like to point out, though, that Zionists have been calling for a Jewish state encompassing Mandatory Palestine for, like, a century (more on that later). Knowing this, it's complete hypocrisy to wrinkle your nose at the implied call the PLO once made while turning the other cheek at Zionist rhetoric which says functionally the same thing. This hypocrisy is made even more obvious by the PLO's revised usage of the term.
See, if you actually wanted to engage with pro-Palestinian protestors in good faith on this topic, you would reasonably assume that the students at Columbia mean the phrase as a call for an Arabic and Jewish state. At the VERY least, you would entertain the idea that they are just as likely to be benign as they are likely to be ideologically aligned with Hamas.
But let's see what the article that Wikipedia cites has to say, just because I'm curious.
Here is a paragraph from page 77 of "From the River to the Sea to Every Mountain Top" by Robin D. G. Kelley:
Turns out, slandering people for their benign use of the phrase "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" is nothing new, having occurred when Marc Lamont Hill used the phrase in a speech to the UN in 2018. Just a reminder of exactly how deep and how far back these lies run.
The article goes on to identify the ACTUAL origin of the phrase--and what do you know, it isn't Palestinian! In fact, it isn't even Arabic:
"First, the odious phrase in question began as a Zionist slogan signifying the boundaries of Eretz Israel. The Likud Partyβs founding charter reinforces this vision in its statement that 'between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty.'" (Kelley, 78).
The hypocrisy deepens. Not only does "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free" not have anti-Semitic roots, it has Israeli supremacist origins, and was appropriated into a rallying cry for solidarity by the Palestinian Liberation Organization.
"But Hamas is still using it in an anti-semitic way, and you shouldn't contribute to that," you might say. I'm glad you did, because it begs the question; why do Hamas and the PLO have such different ideologies, despite both fighting for Palestinian liberation? Why don't resistance fighters in Gaza align with the PLO rather than with Hamas?
Well, Hamas is really the only group with the funding, equipment, and ranks able to put up an organized resistance against the Israeli attacks on Gaza. There's a very specific reason why; the organization that would become Hamas, as Andrew Higgins wrote in WSJ, was influenced heavily by Israel:
TL;DR: Israeli government officials with jurisdiction over Gaza promoted the development of charities that would fund and build the foundation for Hamas, all because Hamas' right-wing militancy made them an enemy of the Palestinian Liberation Organization and Fatah.
So let me get this straight. Zionists created an Israeli-supremacist slogan, a leftist pro-Palestinian organization (and generations of pro-Palestinian activists afterwards, including Angela Davis) appropriated it to be a rallying cry that promotes cross-cultural and ethnic solidarity, then the Israeli state propped up an anti-semitic group who then re-appropriated the phrase, and now there are politicians, journalists, and likely members of your community spreading lies about the meaning of the phrase to slander a humanitarian movement as anti-Semitic. Did I get everything?
This is what we mean when we say that Zionist propaganda manufactures accusations of anti-semitism to rally more people to their ultimately genocidal cause. All I had to do was open two Wikipedia articles to find evidence of a decades-long effort to project every flaw of Zionism, in all of its senseless violence, onto Palestinians. It took FIVE MINUTES for me to think critically, do a bit of research, and come away from this a more educated person.
I don't doubt that many of the people who are raising the alarm about anti-Semitism in the Palestinian liberation movement are acting in good faith. As a Jewish person, I am grateful for any legitimate, moral defense of my culture. But if you aren't willing to put the work in to analyze if what you're reading (and repeating) is actually true, then you will only harm the movement in the long run; at best, you're depriving yourself of crucial tools for solidarity, such as this rallying cry. At worst, you're slandering people and and risking their livelihoods and their safety.
Here's my citations, I highly recommend you check them out:

ik this isn't really on theme for this blog, but I'm hoping for a larger sample size so please humor me. In light of jokes like this^ I'd like to ask: does your country have an Independence Day, and if so, from whom?
Yes we do, and it's from Britain
Yes, but not from Britain
No, because others celebrate independence from us
No, because we are still not independent
No, for another reason

Whatever the case, feel free to write long-winded explanations in the tags, I WILL read them!
The Great Hunger in 1845 - 1852 canβt actually be blamed entirely on the potato blight, there was plenty of food in Ireland that could have - and should have - been distributed amongst the population, but the British kept exporting all of it: peas, butter, cattle, wheat, etc.
They sent in soldiers to guard the ships full of food from the starving men, women and children and interfered with other countries trying to send aid.
It should serve as no surprise then, that Ireland has been so resolutely on the side of Palestine, when Israel is withholding food, aid and other essentials from being delivered to Gaza.
If you can empathize with the great hunger - and you SHOULD - you need to be able to empathize with the people of Gaza.
im gonna be completely honest i am sick of people going "both palestinian americans and american jews are the targets of hate crimes" uhhhh bbg last i checked there was a massive rise in violent antisemitism and a negligible change in rates of islamophobia. saying "both" like that is completely minimizing how unsafe it is to be a jew in the diaspora rn. antisemitism is on the same level as it was before the shoah
i dont know how to explain to leftists that they should care about the fact that a minority group with a history of extreme and violent persecution going back thousands of years is recognizing a pattern of behavior that leads to actual genocide and ethnic cleansing
look im willing to admit when i worded something badly. by negligible change i meant in contrast to the amount of actual life threatening violence, threats of life threatening violence, and STRAIGHT UP NAZI MARCHES IN JEWISH NEIGHBORHOODS
im not saying an increase in your average run of the mill bigotry isnt bad. it is obviously awful when people are targeted by islamophobia. but my point was that you cannot act like antisemitism and islamophobia are on the same level right now when diaspora jews are scared for their lives just walking outside
There have been several murders/attempted murders of Muslims since October. You didn't word things badly you said that there was not an increase in rates of islamophobia which is objectively wrong. Many Muslim people are scared for their lives right now as well as experiencing constant pushes in various governments to enact islamophobic legislation and far right governments with islamophobia as built in policy position gaining power across Europe. You cannot compare the islamophobia and antisemitism rise because you seem to not know anything about the rise in islamophobia.
