You have no idea how MANY times I notice this. Blind sages. It's right in front of you all.
Like talking to walls.
“save the children” is an alt-right dogwhistle and I really need y’all to accept that

Last time I heard it, it was from a Dem on Piers Morgan, of all places, and it was "Israel killed Palestinian Preemies!"
So that checks out. Hell, there is a whole SQUAD out there equipped with Soooo many dogwhistles, you would think someone meticulously misplaced those on purpose.

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

The big blue "Plestia" in the end really seals the deal. Some huge Influencer Vibes. Kind of encapsulates it all nicely. It's like having the 6th eliminee of last year's Big Brother season as your guest of honor.
Oh not forget Linda Sarsour. They literally scraped clean the female presenting nipples terrorist list for this, didn't they.
I wonder who is more offended by the order of events, Linda or the makloube. Literally Daytime Talkshow "followed by our favorite Dishes From AFAR"

As a seasoned Reviewer #2 I have some questions that are more like comments:
10:45 is considered MORNING by these retards???
Drum circle for 45 minutes???
I love how CHANTS! WITH! ANGELA! takes more time than whatever "queers for palestine" is vfjfbjskskfnb poetic
Abolition letter writing??? I thought this was college not high-school hshfjbfjs
What's a WATER RITUAL and how is it relevant??

Do you know what tomorrow’s cause will be for Israelis? Same as it was today: defending their existence and trying to get their hostages back. And I’m pretty sure it’ll be the day after tomorrow’s cause too.
Similarly, for the protest leaders who shout about wanting to kill Zionists, their goals don’t change day to day. Nor do the goals of the Nazi-like murderers in whose honor these protests are organized. But the numbers of these protests, which are supposed to show some measure of righteousness, are ballooned by two categories: people who want to kill Jews and people who treat political causes like a car radio, flipping from station to station in search of the popular songs of the day. (I realize many of them may not know what a radio is.)
Israel doesn’t get to wake up with a hangover, sleep till two in the afternoon and find a different party the next night. This is real life. If Hamas isn’t defeated, Israelis will continue living next to the skeletal framework of an underground tunnel system that exists to hold future Israelis hostage. And above that tunnel system will be the people who intend to take those hostages.
We should stop excusing the people who plead ignorance as they follow murder-minded grad students. And under no circumstances should policy be made with them in mind, or because enough of them are standing elbow-to-elbow a hundred yards from their dorm. The people who live in the real world can’t afford it.

Almost done with my crochet strip lace cotton ribbon for raising awareness of the ongoing hostage crisis. It still needs to be starched and sewn in place. Still not sure where I can ask to have it displayed, but I’ll figure it out.

Wheezing here, lol I wish people had like, a smidgen of understanding of WHAT is Isreal and HOW Israeli society works.
I like to put it on a spectrum: imagine on the one side of it, the most hierarchical, honor abiding, stern and orderly society - I am naming Japan.
Now Imagine the complete opposite of it. That's Israel.
This is a sovereign entity, that one of its pretty prominent (a fairly widespread, pretty biased and right leaning, but anyway) media outlet goes on and writes down something like that:
"Dozens of reserve paratroopers received Order8* - and announced that they would not report due to personal reasons.
These are soldiers who finished their regular service and continued serving due to the ongoing fighting. After examining the fighters' claims, the brigade decided to honor their individual requests individually. The IDF announced that they would not be punished.
The company commander: "You can't continue to say that everyone makes their own choices, I didn't choose this shit."
*Order8 means "war, report immediately within the next 24 hours." Since the 7th of October, Israel has been essentially operating under Order8.
===
Reservists are the backbone of our society. Anarchy is the mother of Order, and all that.
🇮🇱

Why Qatar, Iran, China and Sudi Arabia have poured over 12 billion dollars into US Ivy League Universities and various collages dorbtge past decade+?
Worse, why weren't those "donations" disclosed properly to the states?
And EVEN WORSE, where the FUCK is the government?...

Said is the individual who untied the idea of Orientalism from its roots to "Curiosity" and tied it to the notions of "Racism."
Creating the bedrock on which "Criticism" became "X-Phobic".
This man singlehandedly fucked up the western understanding and developmwnt of ideals like Free Specch, Rights, Self Determination and worst of all:
CRITICAL LITERACY.
His rhetoric nestled well right into the middle of the "White Guilt" and festered.
[I literally remember reading his writings as part of my Architecture studies. IN ISRAEL. And I remember, how my eyes shifted around at the left-leaning educators, even here, who would accommodate certain topics but would "kindly reject" aka lower grade, certain OTHER topics. That was a decade ago.]
Tumblr media
"Edward Said in an interview with Ari Shavit:
"[Q] 'In a binational state, the Jews will quickly become a minority, like the Lebanese Christians.'
"[A]'... the Jews are a minority everywhere. They are a minority in America. They can certainly be a minority in Israel.'
"[SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!???]
"[Q] 'Knowing the region and given the history of the conflict, do you think such a Jewish minority would be treated fairly?
"[A] 'I worry about that. The history of minorities in the Middle East has not been as bad as in Europe, but I wonder what would happen. It worries me a great deal. The question of what is going to be the fate of the Jews is very difficult for me. I really don't know. It worries me.' [-]
"[Q]'So what you envision is a totally new situation in which a Jewish minority would live peacefully within an Arab context?'
"[A] 'Yes. I believe it is viable. A Jewish minority can survive'
"So Said is basically saying to Jews, 'You're used to being a powerless minority. Why can't you stay that way?' How did being a minority work out for Lebanese Christians?
"In case people don't know Lebanon had been created to be a Christian state (Christians had been under French protection for almost 1000 years).
"Admittedly the influx of Palestinians starting in 1948 upset the religious/ethnic balance between Muslims and Christians in Lebanon which need to the bloody, 15-year Lebanese Civil War which decimated the economy and led to the large scale emigration of Lebanese Christians and the implantation of foreign actors like Iran via Hizbullah into their government. Before all this it has been that most prosperous and socially free country in the Middle East. Now Christians make up approximately 30% of Lebanon and the place is basically run by Hizbullah. The economy is in shambles and last I heard their currency was literally worthless and people were dealing with real food insecurity.
"Why should Jews sign up for that? Only people with no mind of self esteem or self respect would be ok with returning to a position of weakness after attaining a position of strength after much blood, sweat and tears. And all this just to be nice? Oh, FUCK NO!
"This all goes back to people expecting Jews to be self-effacing supplicants. THIS IS WHY I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SELF-DEPRECATING HUMOR THAT PEOPLE THINK OF AS A BADGE OF HONOR IN THE JEWISH COMMUNITY. PEOPLE WILL REALLY BELIEVE THIS AND ACT ON IT.
"It's kind of like people who say segregation wasn't so bad. Who does that benefit? Not you, that's for sure..."

I think he is absolutely right.
Because when you go for All or Nothing time and time again, and each time you get less and less, the chances of getting left with Nothing is pretty much the end game.
It's a culture of suicide.
