رغم كل الوجع وما يعتصر القلب من ألم

نقول لأهلنا وربعنا واخوتنا المسيحيين في فلسطين بصفة خاصة وخارج فلسطين بصفة عامة :

كل عام وانتم بالف خير

you would think after a lifetime of hearing the most powerful politicians in the world, the biggest media outlets in the world, and the smallest and most despicable human beings in the world talk about palestinians (and by extension, arabs, and by extension, muslims) like savage, sub-human animals i would be used to it but im not. the unfairness of it all. to be colonized, occupied, imprisoned and killed for so long that it is a matter on record, it is par on course, its mowing the lawn, and still considered the villain. this is why the palestinian cause has never died and can never die. because once you understand the injustice of it, once you truly understand it and bear witness to it, it scars you.

"but but but as a palestinian, do you condemn violence?"

i don't know, what the fuck do you think? why do you think we've been struggling against israel's violence for over 70 years?? how do you even have the nerve to have palestinians on the receiving end of this question??

this revolt is a direct result of the violence created and maintained by israel. we have been condemning violence for as long as we remember but no one listened. and yet now that we are screaming out of sheer desperation, it's suddenly unacceptable? suddenly the conversation just cannot continue before a verbal condemnation is uttered?

palestinians are literally told by the world to "suffer quietly but also when it's time to revolt please keep your composure and confess to everyone's sins"

our struggle for freedom does not need an acceptance letter! and because you have ignored our pleading, you're going to have to put up with our rage i'm afraid
