A Chabad synagogue in Pomona, New York, burned to the ground on April 17th, along with its three Torah scrolls.

Torah scrolls are hand-written, hand-made, and kept in elaborately decorated cases or wrappings.

Many of them have long histories; my synagogue has two, I think, that were smuggled out of villages being destroyed in pogroms or in Nazi attacks. One of them is the only remaining piece of that village on earth.

Sometimes, the Torah scroll doesn't even belong to the synagogue, but is on loan from a place like the Memorial Scrolls Trust:

There's an entire Jewish holiday just for taking them out and dancing with them: Simchat Torah, "The Joy of Torah."

In fact, that was the holiday on which Hamas's invasion took place.

So it's a particular tragedy when a Torah is destroyed.

Chabad itself has a page about what goes into making just one Torah scroll:

"An authentic Torah scroll is a mind-boggling masterpiece of labor and skill. Comprising between 62 and 84 sheets of parchment -- cured, tanned, scraped and prepared according to exacting Torah law specifications -- and containing exactly 304,805 letters, the resulting handwritten scroll takes many months to complete.

"An expert pious scribe carefully inks each letter with a feather quill, under the intricate calligraphic guidelines of Ktav Ashurit (Ashurite Script). The sheets of parchment are then sewn together with sinews to form one long scroll. While most Torah scrolls stand around two feet in height and weigh 20-25 pounds, some are huge and quite heavy, while others are doll-sized and lightweight."

I learned all of this on Tumblr.

Once upon time, in people's "punch Nazis" days, I would've been able to find some mention on Tumblr of this synagogue burning.

There is none, so I'm posting about it.

And I'm going to quote Daniel Weiner, Rabbi of Temple de Hirsch Sinai in Bellevue, Washington, when his own synagogue was vandalized last November:

"It’s horrific and heartbreaking.... [Taking out your feelings about] what's going on in the Middle East by defacing a sacred space of a synagogue -- that’s the very definition of antisemitism."

I'm also posting about the Kehillat Shaarei Torah Synagogue in Toronto, whose windows were broken on Friday, April 19th, by someone who also tried to break the front door down.

And the April 15 graffiti outside a Bangor, Maine synagogue that said, "Nazi Israel 30K murdered," next to a crossed-out Star of David. The same synagogue faced pro-Hamas flyers plastered around it in November.

I was going to include all the synagogues vandalized over the past six months. But there are way too many. Several every week. Lots are swastikas.

I'll go back to just doing attacks on and near synagogues.

Someone has to talk about the 1-year-old who was stabbed outside Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel (BZBI) synagogue, in Philadelphia, on April 13th.

The foiled terrorist attack on a Moscow synagogue on April 11th.

The man who, on April 9th, screamed at the rabbi at Moldova's Great Synagogue, "What are you doing here? How come no one has finished you off for everything you are doing to the Palestinians?" Just one week after people had vandalized a Holocaust memorial in nearby Soroka, and sprayed "Free Palestine" on it.

The Oldenburg, Germany synagogue that was firebombed on April 5th.

The Florida Las Olas Chabad Jewish Center, which on March 16 burned, but not to the ground. The Torah scrolls were safe, and no one was hurt, but the back of the building was severely damaged.

The planned-but-thwarted-on-March-7th ISIS massacre in a Moscow synagogue.

The stabbing of an Orthodox Jew in Switzerland on March 5th. (He was badly injured, but expected to survive.)

A man leaving a synagogue in Paris was beaten on March 3rd.

People set the courtyard of a synagogue in Sfax, Tunisia on fire on February 27th. Firefighters managed to put the fire out before it consumed the inside of the building.

The synagogue is no longer used; there are no Jews left in its area, and fewer than 1,000 Jews left in Tunisia overall.

(Thousands of Tunisian Jews were sent to work camps during the Holocaust. Antisemitism across the Middle East continued to increase rapidly for decades. By the 1970s, 90% of Tunisian Jews had fled to France or Israel.)

On February 18, an Orthodox Jew leaving Synagogue of Inverrary-Chabad in Lauderhill, Florida, was beaten by an attacker yelling racial slurs.

Someone deliberately chose International Holocaust Remembrance Day, January 27, to smash all the windows in the front of Sgoolai Israel Synagogue in downtown Fredericton, New Brunswick.

On December 29, Turkey arrested 32 people linked to ISIS who were planning attacks on synagogues and churches.

On December 17, a man drove a U-Haul truck up onto the sidewalk between a barrier and the front door of the Kesher Israel Congregation in Washington D.C., got out, and started yelling "Gas the Jews." He also sprayed a foul-smelling substance on two people leaving the synagogue.

December 17 also saw 400 synagogues across the United States receive bomb threats.

On December 11, a man attacked an elderly couple on their way into a synagogue in Los Angeles, screaming, "Give me your earrings, Jew!!" and beating one of them bloody with a belt. (Happily, he chased the guy down the street, and caught him when his pants fell down.)

On December 10, a 16-year-old was arrested in Vienna for planning an attack on a synagogue.

On December 8, on the first night of Hanukkah, 15 synagogues in New York State received bomb threats. And someone screamed, "Free Palestine," and fired shots outside of Temple Israel in Albany, NY. Which has a preschool that was in session.

Meanwhile, the five Jews left in Egypt were canceling public Hanukkah candle-lighting at their synagogue out of fear of reprisals. Particularly after two Israelis in Alexandria had been gunned down by terrorists on October 8. (While Israel was still fighting Hamas in Israel.)

On November 15, a terrorist group set the only synagogue in Armenia on fire.

Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) has a history of working with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

(PFLP is part of Hamas's network of groups. Samidoun is their nonprofit arm - which is why Germany banned Samidoun last year, although it's still active in many other countries.

PFLP is also actively supported by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), a diaspora nonprofit group, and Within Our Lifetime (WOL), an SJP spinoff in NYC.)

On November 11, halfway through Shabbat services, police asked Central Shul in Melbourne, Australia to evacuate "as a precaution" due to a "pro-Palestinian" protest that had chosen the neighboring park as its gathering place. Australia has seen some very outspoken antisemitism at protests, including the march shortly after October 7 that chanted "Gas the Jews."

Also on November 11, protesters targeted a synagogue along a march route. They sat in their cars, spraying green smoke and shouting at people leaving the synagogue. The march itself featured a record number of horrifying signs and chants.

On November 7th, Congregation Beth Tikvah in Montreal was firebombed, and the back door of the Jewish organization across the street (Federation CJA) was set on fire.

On November 4, protesters chanted "Bomb Israel," and burned an Israeli flag outside the only synagogue in Malmo, Sweden.

During October, there were 501 antisemitic acts under investigation in France in just three weeks, including groups gathering in front of synagogues shouting threats, and graffiti such as the words “killing Jews is a duty” sprayed outside a stadium.

On October 18, people firebombed a synagogue in Berlin after homes all over the neighborhood were graffitied with stars of David.

And also on October 18, hundreds of "pro-Palestine" rioters attacked the Or Zaruah Synagogue, in the Spanish enclave of Melilla in North Africa, while worshippers were inside.

Based on the video, they seem to have blocked the synagogue entrance completely, while screaming "Murderous Israel" and waving Palestinian flags. (Melilla is an autonomous zone belonging to Spain. It borders Morocco.)

On October 17, during pro-Palestinian protests, hundreds of rioters set fire to Al Hammah synagogue, an abandoned house of prayer in central Tunisia. They hammered down the building’s walls and raised a Palestinian flag on the building. Police did not intervene.

The Facebook page "Tunigate", which has around 88 thousand followers, published a video of the assault. So did "Radio Bousalem”, with 83 thousand users. The vast majority of comments on these videos welcome these acts. The building was severely damaged and almost completely razed to the ground.

On October 15, bomb threats were sent to many East Coast synagogues. Attleboro synagogue Congregation Agudas-Achim received one of the emails, which read, "The bombs will blow up in a few hours. A lot of people will die. You all deserve to die."

On October 8 -- again, while Hamas was still in Israel -- Madrid’s main synagogue was defaced with graffiti that read “Free Palestine” next to a crossed-out Star of David.

And on October 7, an assailant in Rockland, NY fired a BB gun at two women entering a synagogue. Later in the month, a banner at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in the area was vandalized with the words, “Fuckin kikes."

#if you have used “Free Palestine” as if it's a sort of verbal assault you can shout in comments or scribble over flyers #if you are unwilling to hear what the Jewish term Zionism means to the people who use it #if you cannot name one Palestinian human rights activist #and most of all if you don't know how Hamas abuses Palestinians and you still think it's The Resistance #then you. are. the. problem.#if you don't know people in gaza have been protesting Hamas and blaming it for deliberately instigating a war they don't want #if you don't know how often they've spoken out about Hamas stealing aid and selling it to them #and especially if you don't want to believe me much less find Palestinians in Gaza to listen to #also if you didn't know about any of the stuff in this post BUT you have taken it upon yourself to tell Jews that “it's not antisemitism”#like seriously everyone deal with your learned distrust of Jews challenge #wall of words #fire tw #guns tw #violence tw #Instagram

Isr*el is uprooting trees, destroying zoos and starving animals.

Where is the uproar from environmental and animal rights activists? The IOF was literally shooting sheep in the streets of Gaza.

Begging people to give a single fuck about what is happening in Palestine.

You aren't experiencing a war though. You live in Tel Aviv, completely privileged and sheltered from the effects of war. You aren't even in the IOF because you were deemed unfit to serve. Palestinians don't have a formal military to be able to go to war against Israel. It is a one sided war with only one participant, Israel, who is waging war and Palestine is suffering from war and genocide. The fact you think you are experiencing a war really shows your true colors. You probably believe in a two-state solution at best.

you are scrolling my blog, while claiming to be pro-palestine. before you are two choices. you can either a. send me a borderline delusional ask overanalyzing my every word, seeking the worst possible interpretation you can derive from my posts, while making facts up as you go along to support your claim, trying to paint me as an oppressive monster. or you can b. share and donate to one of the many gofundmes for palestinian families and individuals i share on this blog. you get to decide which one of these actions is directly helping the people of palestine and the palestinian cause. do note that the asks you send me do not upset me or make me mad or make me change my behavior, but rather make me laugh. and genuinely worry about your mental wellbeing as well. actually, there is a third option. you can also c. unfollow me, even block me, and go on your merry way

#n like im not acting like im The Victim here i never did lmao. i literally just said 'my experience'#asks #anon #the chances that the person who sent this actually experienced war in their lives is zero #the chances that the person who sent this isnt a usamerican settler are slim to none #the chances that this person is an actual activist are also zero #like u do realize that this claim is belittling and infantilizing palestinians right

it's kind of scary and disgusting the way people are responding to the fact that Joe Biden is enthusiastically participating in genocide with "no candidate is morally pure" dude this isn't about whether or not he shoplifted in his 20s. thousands of people are being murdered and he is going out of his way to make sure that doesn't stop

#also if you respond to every bit of political discourse with 'RUSSIAN PSYOPS'#you just look like a child trying to participate in a grown up discussion #i cant even imagine how it must feel to be Palestinian right now and see people brushing off this genocide like this #the way you people will be like 'voting is powerful' then tell people not to use the power of their votes is um disgusting and immature #you guys need to grow up and start listening to the real activists. like im begging you guys to read #stop getting all of your praxis from tumblr it makes you sound like youre 12 and dont know how elections work

I gotta say, I am seriously fucking concerned with the amount of people here who seem to wholeheartedly believe that the correct answer to the genocide against Palestine is ANOTHER genocide except the other way around. Please stand back for 2 minutes and seriously think about whether you think it’s ever a helpful or just cause to advocate for the deaths of millions of people, especially when plenty of said people are Jews whose families fled there after barely surviving the Holocaust because hardly anywhere else would treat them like human beings or accept them at all since the antisemitism that allowed the Holocaust to happen was not solely in Germany and didn’t magically disappear after the war ended.

Look. The situation is simple when you boil it down to this: Israel is bombing and starving Palestinians like fish in a barrel and doesn’t want to allow aid to Gaza, which consists of a population of over 50% children. Israel allowed the Nakba and displacement of Palestinians for decades and tries to hide it from public view. This is genocide. The Israeli government is at fault for this. Israel holds the power here because they have the power to bomb and starve millions of people and force them out of their homes, and Palestine certainly does not. It’s an utterly horrific, inhumane thing to do with no excuses for it and it needs to stop. This is the simple part that is glaringly obvious for everyone to see and it’s almost laughable for anyone to deny it.

Okay. You’ve successfully identified the main problem and the “bad guy,” if you want to put it in childish simplistic terms. So the question now is: what next? Say Israel agrees to an immediate ceasefire. What do you, impassioned activist on the internet, propose should be done to solve this situation after that? What should be done to free the Israeli hostages? Do you think the UK and the US, two of the most powerful countries in the world who actively help Israel commit its atrocities against Palestine, will ever do anything to help the Palestinians once Israel loses its power, even if better governments are eventually elected? How should the Palestinian land be claimed back? Where should all the Israeli citizens go? Should they all be forced out to Europe and America, even if that isn’t where they originate from, where the already-rife antisemitism has spiked even further since October 7th and Jews who live thousands of miles from Israel and have nothing to do with Israel’s actions face horrific hate crimes every day? Do Israeli children deserve that? Who’s going to pay for their travel and accommodation? Or, should they all be allowed to stay there and live side by side with the Palestinians? Do you think most Palestinians would be happy to remain neighbours with the citizens of the country that has oppressed them so fiercely for over 75 years, even if said citizens didn’t partake in it or in fact opposed it? What about the 20% of Israeli citizens who are Arab or Palestinian? Do you hold the same opinion of foreign settlers in Israel as you do its citizens whom have made a home there for many generations? How do you discern between settlers and “real” Israelis? Do you see any difference between them at all? Why? And what should be done about Hamas, the group that openly calls for the genocide of all Jews around the world and commits war crimes against Israeli citizens? How much of the history behind Israel’s occupation of Palestine are you aware of? Do you think the British government should be held accountable for splitting Palestine in the first place? How would you go about that? Would it be fair to punish the British people for their government’s actions when British citizens didn’t vote for it? How does that compare to your view of Israel and its citizens, and why?

I am absolutely NOT asking trick questions here or trying to “gotcha!” anyone. I am asking these questions precisely BECAUSE they are extremely difficult to answer, with several of them contradicting each other, and they are meant to get an emotional reaction out of you. I certainly don’t know what the “correct” answers to most of those questions are, and that’s exactly my point: there is no simple answer to a problem that has been going on for decades with such a wide, complex history. Historians and political experts who know all the facts and have studied this shit for years don’t know the answer and it’s honestly insulting to all the people suffering to log on every day and see so many people go “actually 😌 I, a random 20-30 something year old on the internet who isn’t even touched by what’s happening in Palestine, have figured it out before everyone else! Just delete an entire country and all its citizens off the map 😊 This is a moral thing to suggest! And if you disagree with me you’re promoting Zionism/terrorism 😘” There are no simple answers and if you think there is one — and especially if you think that answer is to kick citizens out of the country their family has lived in for generations — then you are both wilfully ignorant and evidently fuelled more by hatred than an actual desire for peace and an end to death and oppression and I don’t believe there is a crumb of sincerity in your activism.

Am I naive enough to think that fighting against oppression and occupation is always going to be peaceful? Obviously not. But you’ve got to think about where and when said violence is actually going to be beneficial, and where and when it’s violence purely for the sake of violence, which is NEVER justified. You can’t advocate for human rights and then turn around and say “oh, but not for you.” EVERYONE deserves food and water. EVERYONE deserves shelter. EVERYONE deserves to receive treatment for sickness or injury. NOBODY deserves cruel and unusual punishment or torture. And EVERYONE deserves to be alive. Those are essential human rights that should never, ever be denied wherever it is possible to give them, and disagreeing with that reflects extremely poorly on you and your principles. Think about what narrative you are pushing when you claim an entire people “deserves” bad things. The constant dehumanisation I see happening in online activism (and far too often in real life too) is actually terrifying and if you want to do some real good in the world, I need everyone reading this to examine their potential internal prejudices, even the ones you don’t think you have, and think about who exactly you’re helping when you express thoughts that perpetuate them, and who you may be harming in the process.

Anyway, now that I’ve gotten that out of the way…

Here are some useful resources if you want to make a difference and help people:

Standing Together (an Israeli movement advocating for ceasefire and peace between Israelis and Palestinians)

Zochrot (an Instagram page that seeks to educate the public about the Nakba)

Parents’ Circle (an organisation run by relatives of Israelis and Palestinians killed in the conflict who advocate for peace)

Operation Olive Branch (a Google Doc of Palestinian families seeking evacuation)

Mesarvot Network (an Instagram page run by young Israelis seeking to refuse the IDF draft and end military violence committed by both Hamas and the IDF)

Other Gaza aid organisations to donate to

zionists love the pinkwashing angle so much you would think israel has the most queer-friendly policies on earth but they don't even have gay marriage there

#like okay ig...#i get the strategy it's the whole we're the only democracy in the middle east it's actually just like europe here arabs are so uncivilized #we hate them even though we literally live here thing #which is like straight out of the colonizer handbook. as is everything else they do #but i mean wouldn't that be the bare minimum for the we love gay people here they hate gay people there pr campaign #and the pinkwashing works i've literally seen it from people who would be my mutuals' mutuals. this summer. just crazy #but it's not surprising that it would work on white gays or just western gays because people will do tiktoks about how they're 'illegal in #74 countries!' (idk how many it is) like they're the victims (when it's countries they'll never go to) not the actual gay people who live #there #which is just so telling #and queerness/other things like feminism being weaponized is always so frustrating you'll literally see people who hate the gays every #day of the year pretend they're gay rights activists in the name of killing palestinians. and in the name of colonialism in general #and of course even if you could get gay married there that wouldn't make it better. but you can't even do that so like. okay ig?#do you think gay israelis are effectively utilizing gay power by killing the people whose land they've been colonizing for decades #and like i say: brf slt

Reading Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib's tweets is like reading someone who calls themselves a feminist spouting victim blaming stuff about rape victims needing to cover themselves up and stay home at night.

#palestine #free palestine #gaza #free gaza #israel is a terrorist state #israel is committing genocide #genocide #palestinian genocide #israeli apartheid #ahmed fouad alkhatib #this person makes me so confused #like how on earth do you claim that you're a peace activist and pro-palestine if you blame the Palestinians for their genocide and #make excuses for israeli war crimes #I know there are women who want to abolish women's rights and I know there are gays who oppose gay rights #but usually these kinds of people don't call themselves feminists or gay rights activists

Reclaiming Roots: Mimi's Fight for Palestinian Identity and Justice

During Land Day on March 30, 2024, standing on the back of a truck, a microphone in her hand, a Palestinian keffiyeh covering her hair, Mimi chanted for the freedom and ceasefire of Palestine: "From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free".

Mimi is a Palestinian activist living in the DMV (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area. She was at the march in remembrance of the Palestinian Land that commemorated the event of March 30, 1976. Mimi said: "Land Day is a day that commemorates Palestinian resistance to the Zionist occupation of our land. An announcement came that the Zionist regime was going to steal thousands of dunams of land from the territories of Palestine. And so Palestinians struck and organized and protested against this decision and on this day, six Palestinians were killed and hundreds more were injured."

Land Day also coincides with the Great March of Return that begins on March 30, 2018. This date marks a series of protests and demonstrations held in the Gaza Strip to demand the right of return for Palestinian refugees to their ancestral homes and lands in what is now Israel. For months, Palestinians have gathered at the fence that separates them from Israel. Mimi said: "Two hundred and thirty Palestinians were killed, tens of thousands were injured. And yet this day is about resistance. It's about commemorating those who came before us and those who will come after us as well, and paved the path for us to be able to resist in all forms against our oppressors, against the occupation, for the right of return of all Palestinian refugees in the diaspora, no matter where they are in the world."

She links the commemoration and resilience to the situation of Gaza today: "We're also here today to demand an immediate and permanent cease-fire, for the freedom of all Palestinian prisoners, to lift the brutal siege on Gaza, to end all U.S. aid to the Zionist state and to end the year-long occupation of Palestine."

Mimi connects her activism with her family's heritage: " My ancestors fought for their land and they paved this path for me. Being in the diaspora, being somebody whose grandfather was uprooted from his land, who was displaced, who has not seen his homeland since the 1960s.. "

She roots her activism as part of her identity: "It's important for me to reclaim that part of him (her grand-father) and part of myself and part of my heritage and my identity to fight for my people in Palestine, to fight against the oppressive systems … It's my responsibility, not just as a Palestinian, not just as an Arab, not just as a Muslim, but just as a human being who believes that liberation for Palestine means liberation for us all.

Moreover, as a phoenix that's reborn from its ashes, Mimi, even after being separated from her ancestor's land and her community and culture does not give up and it strengths her, even more, to fight: "I feel this push to organize more and this pressure to bring in all of the Palestinian diasporas that are in the West that have been disconnected from their culture and bring them into politics, educate them about our heritage, about our identity, about our revolutionaries, our thinkers, our academics."

Mimi finds her force to organize and advocate thanks to her roots: "It's that connection to the land that keeps me going. It's the connection to our olive trees, our citrus trees. It's the connection to, just how holy our land actually is. Connection to the sea. And just again, the connection to everything that my grandfather was uprooted from."

Emotionally, she narrates her travel to her native land that happened last year, " It was my first time back home and it was the most beautiful experience of my life. It's something that I'll never forget, to see where I came from, to see where my ancestors walked, to see Yaffa (يَافَا), which is now colonized, to just walk the same path that my ancestors did."

This travel made her activism and conviction stronger and pushed her to organize more in the U.S.: "It was a very beautiful moment, but it also exposed me to the on-ground harsh reality of the Zionist occupation and pushed me to do more when I came back here."

It's shit like this that's why I write so many posts about these Palestine cosplayers faking concern for some people because they hate others:

Syrians only count as human to these people when they lie about events that did happen to Syria and count on nobody noticing when they're lifting the atrocities they denied or relished a few years ago and relabeling them as Palestinians to suddenly admit their favorite failson actually was killing people all along. This is not human rights, this is selective empathy and humanity for the few.

#palestine #gaza #syria #aka fake human rights activists who only count Arabs as humans if they're Palestinians killed by Israelis #Palestinians killed by the despots of the Arab world need not apply #Arabs killed by the dictators of the Arab world need apply even less #if you do not care about dead children in Idlib or Aleppo you do not care about dead children in Gaza full offense #you are terrible human beings faking being decent ones and deserve all the scorn and contempt you so richly earn

#it actually makes me sick like physically ill how much praise is heaped onto goyishe american leftists #people who could not point to gaza on a map six months ago. whose knowledge of middle east history comes from outdated textbooks and twitte #for being anti imperial activists and well educated anti imperialists with all the right buzzwords and all the right opinions #meanwhile nothing i say will ever be good enough bc i'm jewish and palestinians are tokenized by people who care more about appearing #like someone who Listens to Palestinians as opposed to 1) doing anything material to help them (like donating money)#and 2) not spreading obvious misinformation. something that does material damage to the cause of liberation #AND further fuels the most insidious of zionist propaganda which relies on the antisemitism of ignorant western goys #this propaganda banks on their antisemitism bc it's that fucking reliable #every white western goy that harasses jews or spreads misinfo about jews or is straight up just racist towards random israeli immigrants #ppl living in the west like running coffee shops that are now having their windows smashed bc that what? supports palestinian liberation?#makes it that much easier for actual zionist propagandists to say 'see. this was never about imperialism. they want an excuse to harm you.'#'you are only safe with us'#i grew up in a cauldron of this kind of propaganda and i was playing on hard mode i got it from the orthodox #it took years of dutiful unlearning. of wrestling with some really difficult realities. of realizing that i'd been not only lied to #but information had been deliberately kept from me to keep me from knowing the true depths of the horror happening in gaza #i did not get the luxury of starting to care about this six months ago during a concerted effort to correct the record #i had to put in the effort to unlearn two decades of propaganda given to me so young i don't remember a time when i didn't know it #and i am by far not the only jew with this experience #i have put in way more effort to care about this than every white western goy with a megaphone posting palestinian flags on IG #but none of that matters bc i am a jew and for the last 5000+ years we don't get to decide how we're discussed or how we're remembered #never mind how many jewish voices (and yes! even israeli voices!) have been supporting liberation efforts in palestine for years.#who've done an amazing job reaching more people who need help seeing through the propaganda they were raised on #i can only be a token who speaks only in protest chants or i can be an evil zionist. the anti imperial work doesn't matter.#bc anti imperial work is hard and none of them actually want to do it they just want the protest photos #anyway this is why i don't discuss this on the piss on the poor website. tbh i don't trust y'all

I sometimes wonder

Why do people forget that Hamas is an extreme right wing fundamentalist organization that would murder every leftist that allied with them for "pragmatic" reasons after supposedly liberating Palestine? They've explicitly said they're anti-communist.

But, obviously, none of you Free Palestine folks will ask those questions because you're all western leftists who won't ever be subjected to violence from your own peers that are supposedly "liberating" you. You will live your comfy little lives in your comfy little apartment in California while every single communist who dreamed of liberating Palestine is hanged for being a leftist after Hamas wins.

You fuckers would see the Proud Boys rising against a centrist American government (or, supposedly, against Israel) and would gleefully join them only to be surprised once they started executing your friends by the dozens.

Do not ever let or suggest that we need to prop up extreme right wingers for liberation. You will get people killed. You're not anyone's ally, you're just doing this for your own sick amusement and ensuring to yourself you're a good person.

None of you are.

Oh yeah! Did I forget about the part where Israel directly funded Hamas to crush the PLO? Ya'll always conveniently forget that part. Congrats on ya'll cheering for the Mossad-paid controlled opposition.

#I hate palestine discourse #it's always a bunch of fucking morons praising LA RESISTANCE for attempting to liberate palestine #when LA RESISTANCE is currently a bunch of violent right wing cunts that would gleefully murder any leftist they got their hands on #ya'll would gleefully report a palestinian peace activist for being anti-hamas so he gets tortured #sounds wild? well that's exactly what happened to one famous palestinian activist #who was reported to Hamas by a friend who currently works for The Intercept #and now western fags go and say “um ackshually sweetie hamas is good”#YALL ARE SUPPORTING THE MOSSAD FUNDED CONTROLLED OPPOSITION! SHUT THE FUCK UP!#israel palestine #free palestine #(for real)#hamas
