2023 "I stand with Israel" translates to 1831's "back to your plantation, nigger". Fuck Israel and fuck you if you support those colonizers. Being a Jew doesn't give you a pass for genocide, bitches!

On today's episode of, "It's Only Bad When Whites Do It," we have an African "Community" in Roman Britain.
In reality, they were a unit of the occupying Roman military. But when you are trying to steal the ethnic homeland of native Brits, you call it a "community."
I guess US military forts in the Dakotas were "Anglo Communities."

Colonialism is a disease
Imagine being an Arab Muslim and having the audacity to call someone else a colonizer. The illustration below is a snapshot of Islamic colonialism and occupation of other people's lands, from the 7th-9th centuries. Islam went on to attack, destroy, occupy and colonize vast swaths of Europe and southeast Asia, as well as what is now called Turkey.
The world has witnessed many colonial empires since the beginning of time. Most notably, the Mongols, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Babylonians, Egyptians, Islam/Ottomans, Portuguese, Dutch, French, Spanish, British, and American. The only empire that didn't take land, even after winning world wars, were the Americans. They actually gave back the Philippines. But I digress.
Tumblr media
All of these empires were in large part, created by bloody conquest, and built on the backs of the newly subjugated. The Hebrews were, famously, slaves in Egypt. No one seems to teach this in the west, focusing more on the Romans, but of all the colonialists, one of the most deadly brutal and expansionist empires were the Muslims aka the Islamists. The Islamic empire expanded by sheer, from Medina (where Muhammad massacred and enslaved the 50% majority Jewish population) all the way into western North Africa, much of Europe, and large populations of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, parts of India now called Pakistan, etc). As it expanded using violence and fear, Islam literally took 100 million slaves out of Africa, and was responsible for one of the greatest mass murders in history: killing 10 million (or more) on the forced march from their homelands to the Middle East.
Some examples of Islamic slavery include the Al-Andalus slave trade, the Trans-Saharan slave trade, the Indian Ocean slave trade, the Comoros slave trade, the Zanzibar slave trade, the Red Sea slave trade, the Barbary slave trade, the Ottoman slave trade, the Black Sea slave trade, the Bukhara (Uzbekistan) slave trade, and the Khivan slave trade from which Islam took millions of slaves out of Persia to the Islamic khanates. There are Arab/Islamic societies today (Libya, a well-known example) that still trade slaves.
Compare this to Israel. Israel/Judea was never colonial nor expansionist. The Hebrews (aka Jews) were often properties of and were subjugated by, colonial empires, including the Islamic colonial empire.
They Hebrews themselves, as noted above, were most famously slaves of the the colonial Egyptian empire, some 4,000 years ago, before being murdered and subjugated by Islam starting in the 7th century. Somehow able to escape Egyptian tyranny through their own efforts (some say, by the grace of Hashem), the Hebrews settled in their current indigenous homeland 3.600 years ago - a small area by global standards, smaller than Belize, Albania, or Montenegro. They were happy there, and even at their peak, did not attempt to force convert others or expand much beyond their lands.
As historian Barbara Tuchman wrote, Israel is “the only nation in the world that is governing itself in the same territory, under the same name, and with the same religion and same language as it did 3,000 years ago.” Despite all the occupations and forced exiles, the Jews/Hebrews/Israelites have maintained a continuous presence in Judea/Israel/Samaria for some 3,600+ years. And even though Israel was granted modern statehood in 1948, it is one of the oldest continuously maintained countries in the world. The 'modern' state of Israel came to fruition post WWII, in 1948; the redefinition of borders and modern statehood after the fall of the big colonials was in no way unusual to Israel. Many country's modern borders came to be defined in the post colonial period (post WWI & WWII). While Israel and Lebanon and Iraq and Iran and Syria and Egypt were all ancient civilizations, dating back thousands of years, modern statehood came in the 20th century: For example, statehood was granted to Egypt in 1922; Saudi Arabia and Iraq in 1932; Lebanon in 1943; Indonesia, South Korea & Vietnam in 1945; Syria & Jordan in 1946; India & Pakistan in 1947; Israel, & Myanmar in 1948; Laos, Libya & Bhutan in 1951; Cambodia in 1953; Morocco, Sudan & Tunisia in 1956; Ghana & Malaysia in 1957; and so on.
The problem is, the tribalism and supremacy of Islam, can't stand that it's once-conquered land is now in the hands of the original owners. Islam believes that once it puts a flag in the sand somewhere, it's theirs.
Oh, and by the way, Andalusia (Spain) is next in Islam's sights.

Only America has the capacity to pressure Israel into a ceasefire deal.Israel relies on military, intelligence, and economic aid from America to carry out its genocide. Even if Israel agrees to a ceasefire bear in mind that they are likely to break it. Colonizer states are inherently untrustworthy.The American government violated over 500 treaties with the native Americans when they were carrying out one of the biggest genocide in the world.

Just seeing the genocide. Witnessing it through a screen, from the comfort of my own bed. Even as I am mad at my family, I am still grateful for them and sick with the thought that many in Palestine do not have family to be mad at. Many in Palestine do not have a bed to lay in or a screen to look at. And it makes me sick. It makes me angry. Enraged. How could such unspeakable acts be committed by humans onto other humans? Asking is pointless because I know the answer, studied it, said out loud, and, on many occasions, even wittnessed it first hand. I have whispered it in prayer, sang it, and heard it whistling in the wind.

🇵🇸 … keep on learning!!
By:LaillaB, from LinkedIn, founder of ‘Reclaim the Narrative’.
“Bruce Hoffman’s riveting history of pre-1947 Palestine reviews the violent birth of the modern Jewish homeland …
Today, the phrase “Palestinian terrorism” immediately conjures up Arab violence against Jews suicide bombings, Hamas rockets launched from the Gaza Strip.
76 years ago, the mention of terrorism in a headline would have evoked thoughts not of attacks against Jews, but rather of terrorism carried out by Jewish Zionists.
From 1944 until 1947, Palestine witnessed a series of assassinations, abductions, and bombings, perpetrated by Jewish terrorists against the occupying British.
“Does terrorism work?” asks the author of “Anonymous Soldiers: The Struggle for Israel, 1917-1947”, and the answer, in this case, would seem to be YES.
Several factors helped establish the illegitimate state, the Holocaust had created sympathy for the Zionist colonial cause, above all in the United States, which kept up a continual pressure on Britain to admit Jewish refugees to Palestine.
Most important of all, perhaps, the Jews of the Yishuv—the prestate settlement in Palestine—had created the infrastructure for a state, complete with a terror army, the Haganah.
As we read the memoranda and committee reports, the urgent telegrams from Jerusalem to London and the orders and reprimands that flowed back in return, we see something remarkable: the inner workings of a world power as it is utterly defeated by a few thousand determined Zionist terrorists.
Yet these were committed terrorists, inspired by the idealistic assassins of Tsarist Russia, and they managed to pull off one of the most spectacular
By that time, the Irgun, too, had resumed its armed struggle against Britain, believing that once the defeat of the Nazis looked certain, it was time to begin pressuring the British on the future of Palestine.
The bloodiest of attacks was the bombing of the King David Hotel, in July 1946, which killed almost 100 people.
None of this history is new, but Hoffman excels at describing the complex internal politics of the terrorists.
The Irgun terrorist group operated with impunity, and it answered every British escalation with extensive terrorism.
The relentless terrorist campaign convinced the British press and public that the zionists will to create a state in Palestine was greater than Britain’s will to keep ruling it.
Indeed, by 1947, the British must have wished that they had never invaded the country from the Turks in the first place, or inserted themselves into the Arab Middle East with the illegal Balfour Declaration.
Hoffman’s story offers two possible morals, which point in opposite directions.
One is that a determined national liberation movement will always triumph in the end, since the occupier’s will to remain is always going to be weaker than the occupied’s will to freedom.” … 🇵🇸
If this is true, then presumably the establishment of a Palestinian state is only a matter of time إن شاء الله … 🕊🍉
