Brings a tear to me eye

stupid comic idea

When one side of the "conflict" still has the capacity to worry about providing gluten-free food for their soldiers while the other one struggles to provide water for their children, you know who the oppressor is.

When one side of the "conflict" constantly asks for donations to fund their army while the other one does the same to afford basic necessities such as water and food, you know who the oppressor is.

When one side of the "conflict" is still able to post videos from the comfort of their homes while the other one is being displaced from theirs, you know who the oppressor is.

A simple analysis of the hierarchy of needs will clearly show, between these two videos, who the oppressor is.

This is not a "conflict".

It's a crime against humanity.

It's colonization.

It's ethnic cleansing.

It's genocide.

Every time I see a Palestinian child killed, torn up to limbs, his inside organs exploding out of his tiny body. Or a child alive but injured, shivering and terrified. I remember the words of the Israeli knesset member: "The Children of gaza have brought this upon themselves." And I feel sick. How can you see these babies and not flinch, but instead ask about their race and ethnicity to determine whether they deserve this or not? I truly cannot comprehend this.

"I just want to clarify that I’m well informed on the situation that is going on but Byler has only one chance of happening. Meanwhile Palestinians are dying anyway. They have been for years and will continue to die. Since when do y’all care about them and their lives? You started talking about it only when it became trendy.

Fake activists, move on and continue eating expensive food in your comfy house and not giving a fuck about people far away from you dying. That shit happens everyday and if you get involved your psyche will be hurt. Let the politicians deal with this instead of bullying a random actor that didn’t do anything harmful"

browsing through the noah schnapp tag to see what he did now and seeing these words was a literal slap in the face how can someone post this and think theyre a good person???

(When I first read this, I thought you were saying that shit in my inbox and was ready to throw hands, so I was very relieved to see you were just sharing the bullshit from someone else's blog.)

I just searched in the tag and saw this exact post. How fucking horrifying. Instant block. I doubt anyone could reason with this person.

"Palestinians are dying anyway. They have been for years and will continue to die." Can't believe anyone typed this genuinely and without pause. Just say you don't care about Palestinian lives and stop there, you'll get your point across better.

"Since when do y’all care about them and their lives? You started talking about it only when it became trendy." Many people are only just now beginning to really educate themselves on the history of Israel and Palestine. I'm among them - I used to be one of the folks who thought it was too complicated and nuanced to take a stance on. Then I read Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, started reading from news sources and independent journalists outside of mainstream western media, started listening to Palestinian and anti-zionist Jewish voices, and realized how false that was. I take responsibility for not educating myself sooner. But it's actually weird to frame people educating themselves and having empathy for people dying as jumping on a trend.

"Let the politicians deal with this..." Ah, yes, let's leave it to the politicians, who notoriously have our best interests in mind and would never do anything to cause harm. (/sarcasm) "... instead of bullying a random actor that didn’t do anything harmful." If you think sharing violent zionist rhetoric such as "you stand with Israel or you stand with terrorism" or trivializing the deaths of eleven thousand Palestinians with stupid stickers calling zionism sexy, in front of your audience of millions as a celebrity, is "not harmful" then we clearly are not going to agree on anything.
