PSA: Shaun King is a fraud! Don't support him!
Currently my insta feed is full of Palestinians demanding Shaun King's account be reinstated. There are more Shaun King posts than there are posts about Palestine. Most Palestinians on there don't know he's a fake. Idk if he was taken down for posting about Gaza or for committing fraud (again) but
Please tell your Palestinian friends/followers this guy is a fraud! He stole money from Tamir Rice's mother, had multiple "fundraisers" for various causes and kept the money, and most recently claimed to have literally rescued Israeli hostages. He was also selling "memberships" on his Instagram where supporters could give him $5/month to keep making Instagram posts. This is well-documented. People in Palestine don't know this guy's history and don't have time to vet him, so please make sure you tell them if you see them posting him, especially if you know any large influencers!
Black activists have been warning the world about this guy for years.

Motaz posted ''follow Shaun King" in his IG story today. It's not his fault, or even his concern at this point, but Shaun King is a notorious misogynoiristic grifter that Black women have been trying to warn us about for years and one of the people who have also been exploiting the pro-Palestinian movement. Motaz has taken the story down, probably having been informed, but it just means that we have to be more careful ourselves and make it known to as many people as possible who to avoid. Palestine deserves more than the scum of the earth exploiting its suffering to inflict the same on other marginalized and innocent people.

Instagram/Meta removed Shaun King.
Not a good day for those who speak truth to power. It goes to show that Conservative constructs want to kill the messenger. They don't want a debate. They don't even want to have the conversation.

being anti-genocide is not allowed on meta
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like i said before, i don't mess with shaun king like that, but that being said, many things about one thing can be true at the same time. it is very clear that there is a wave of censorship happening across social media against pro-palestinian content in favor of israeli propaganda. so whether or not you like shaun or not, it is very clear what is happening and why. there is clearly a genocide happening in gaza that is being perpetuated by colonizing power. a genocide against an indigenous population for land, resources, and power. basically the same thing america did to the natives here. had it not been for people like shaun king (flawed as he may be), many people would not be aware of the heinous acts of israel against the palestinian people right now. so even as someone who is not a shaun king fan, i am not so myopic in my view of things to not realize that he served a positive purpose when it comes to the israeli genocide of palestinians.
on a much larger scale, whenever a platform or a power attacks someone popular, one of the goals is to send a message to everyone else that they are not safe and that they should back off. it's like a football coach picking on and cursing out their hall of fame quarterback. when everyone else who isn't as popular or powerful sees that on the team, they immediately realize that they must fall in line or worse can happen to them. that's the goal of banning shaun king from ig. however as a black man who understands how connected all oppressive systems are, we cannot slow down. may i remind all my brothers and sisters that israel is where police forces like the nypd go and train in abusive violent tactics, which they then come back to america and overwhelmingly exercise on black and brown bodies. so if you think this does not affect you, you are sadly and deeply mistaken. additionally, this kind of censorship is going to spread. if we don't fight back, it won't be long before you will be arrested for speaking out against israel. this is what israel wants, and they have the money and political power to make it happen. you can either sit back and let it happen or you can fight back. however, make no mistake, it's coming, and this is the first major blow that the enemy has struck in their offensive against our free speech.

Do not trust Shaun King -he is an exploitative and chronic scammer. If you have time to watch the original video, PLEASE do.
I'm also adding the free Palestine tag because he's been in these spaces, and I need people to know he will do ANYTHING to get his money. Stop giving him money. He is going on TOUR to talk about Gaza...

United dystopia of america is unbelievably tone-deaf to the rest of the world. Fuck Taylor Swift for being a cog in this murder machine of capitalism and not cancelling the 'eras' tour screening across Israel, let alone speaking up against this genocide when she has a 'considerable' influence. If any one of you fuckers who has formed an idiotic parasocial relationship with her comes up to defend her, I'll chew you up. Time magazine ought to honour Motaz Azaiza and not just him but every single Palestinian journalist and doctor. Read somewhere how Motaz is 24, Plestia is 22, Bisan is 25, and Abod is 17 and it's baffling how the burden and responsibility of documenting this genocide are upon such young people who have lost their families and yet continue to show the reality while gambling with death every day. Fuck netanyahudi, biden and every other zionist and israeli playing the anti-semitic victim card.

The Palestinian people of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta are being attacked 24/7. Including today. The truce did not include them.
▼△▼△▼△▼△
This is my dear brother @mahmoud.photography97 - please follow and support him.
They've demolished the schools.
It's a mix of settler colonialism, theft, and terrorism.
Israelis, backed by the military, are illegally stealing their land, stealing their sheep, burning their olive trees, ruining their water sources, turning off their electricity, destroying their roads, and so much more.
The people there are now starving and are barely able to stay much longer.

The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend: Canceling Shaun King edition
Reminder that even if someone dislikes Shaun King and Standing Together (King is a fraud, the other an org that doesn't advocate for a free Palestine in any meaningful way) it does not mean that someone is a good person.
I have seen plenty of opportunistic grifters/conspiracy theories glom onto the Shaun King hate train and use that to:
Spread antisemitic George Soros conspiracies
Spread literal antisemitism ("Jews run child sex trafficking rings" see below since original stories expired/"true ally Jews give up Judaism")
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Be homophobic/transphobic or target orgs like Al Qaws that serve LGBT Palestinians for not being "morally pure" and supposedly taking Soros Money (they don't, and even if they did that's not how grants work)
Smear Palestinian activists like Issa Amro who have done good work for Palestine for literal decades and who have been tortured and imprisoned by the IDF multiple times in the last year.
There are many, many people, Palestinians and allies who you can follow who do none of these things.
Follow Motaz, follow Bisan, follow the Palestinian Youth Movement, follow Al Jazeera, follow Wael Al Dadouh, follow letstalkpalestine, follow anat.international, follow Adnan Barq, follow Mohammed El Kurd, follow Noura Erakat, follow Mariam Barghouti, main thing is to follow Palestinians, especially those on the ground in Palestine and those doing activism in the diaspora. They are on many social media platforms, instagram, twitter, facebook, etc.
Palestinians on Tumblr: (don't want to ping them so I'll put a /)
@/palipunk, @/el-shab-hussein, @/fairuzfan, @/7amas1umblrspokesman, @/killy, @/90-ghost and there are many more that I can't think of immediately. I will edit this post if it gets comments or corrections! This is meant to be informative because I get a lot of people asking me why a faceless instagram account is calling a solid activist a normalizer for no reason.
But: There is no good reason to follow people who peddle conspiracies that harm marginalized Palestinians. You should be informed, but be informed by people who are not spreading conspiracies.

🚨PLEASE SHARE!!!
#ShaunKing ‘s account was suspended on IG. He acted as the liaison between the U.S. & many Gaza based journalists , sharing immediately the atrocities Israel has executed upon Palestinians to his 5.7million + followers, since Oct 7. The documented footage exposed a narrative to the world that was often overlooked. HE GAVE A VOICE TO PALESTINE IN AMERICA!
Over the course of this time he &Pro Palestine voices were heavily censored for exposing the TRUTH! I myself had my account temporarily disabled when I tried to share the release of Israeli hostages during the first humanitarian pause. 🤨 Crazy huh?
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHARE FROM THE JOURNALISTS IN GAZA! They need our help to show what is going on there while international journalist are being kept out of Gaza! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 AS OF DECEMBER 25, 2023 more that 80+ Journalist have died while in Gaza…some were specifically targeted. Please amplify the voices of those that remain there risking their lives to document these atrocities.
