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.

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.

Burkina Faso renounces its Non-Double neocolonial Taxation Treaty with France, a pact that has been in place since 1967.

Burkina Faso under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré has withdrawn from the Non-Double neocolonial Taxation Treaty with France that was established in 1967.

The Burkina Faso government announced the termination of the double taxation agreement, signed on August 11, 1965, which had been in effect since February 15, 1967, along with its subsequent amendment signed on June 3, 1971, which took effect on October 1, 1974.

The decision comes as a result of France's refusal to renegotiate the terms of the agreement. Olivia Rouamba, head of Burkina Faso’s diplomatic service, explained that this action is necessary due to France's lack of response to requests for negotiations made in January 2020 and late 2021. The denunciation will become effective within three months from the date of notification.

This move is seen as significant, as it will impact French multinationals in Burkina Faso, who previously benefited from tax exemptions under the treaty.

A “huge blow” for France

Phillipe Traoré, a tax expert from Burkina Faso, explained that the double taxation treaty, among other things, allows individuals and companies to avoid paying taxes on the same income in two different countries.

He believes that this measure is “very serious for French multinationals” established in Burkina, adding that “all French income derived from activities carried out on Burkinabe soil will now be taxed.”

“In fact, with the convention signed, the Burkinabè did not deduct any withholding tax on income from services provided by French people (individuals and/or companies) in Burkina,” he said.

The tax expert pointed out that French companies, in particular, are exempt from many taxes in Burkina by virtue of the double taxation treaty.

In his opinion, this gives them a competitive advantage over all other companies operating in Burkina Faso.

“It is a real blow for France and a financial windfall for Burkina,” insisted Phillipe Traoré.

This denunciation comes 48 hours after France suspended all development aid and budgetary support to Burkina following the support given by the Burkinabe military junta to the National Committee for the Defence of the Homeland (CNSP), which overthrew Mohamed Bazoum in Niger on July 26.

Comfort Women

Hi anon! You’re right to bring this up!

Just for the record, I believe what Japanese government did wrong and horribly in WW2 should always be addressed and talked about.

Abe’s attitude towards the topic should be judged and talked about.

So instead of making jokes and memes and making what happened in Asian a footnote to the current political storm, it’s a good time for people with this intention to make their posts to address it. To rise awareness. To judge every human but especially politicians (since they influence in a larger scale) like how this should be done properly. Why stop with some half assed, incomplete and under-informed google survey?

I believe you tried to make an addition to my previous post, and I thank you for that.

Just like what I’ve stated in replies in that post, i think people should address what happened in that time done by colonialist Japanese government to both China and Korea. People have the ability to acknowledge someone had this terrible attitude towards an important topic while knowing how far is too far to make jokes especially when making it a footnote or foil to all about the so call first world countries which mostly are also colonialist and have their own fair share of war crimes.

Comfort women is a very important topic. Actually, there are not only Korean NGOs focusing on it, asking the Japanese government to make amends, there’s Taiwanese NGOs doing that too for both the Japanese government and the USA army.

If people care about the topic, then make hard work doing just that.

Also there are petitions on the internet too! Sign them if you feel like wanting to make some contributions! Or donate to NGOs! Do something other than hitting some reblog and like button.

Everything in the political realm is like that. The only positive chance can be made by engaging in the real political-social movement. Vote and protest and campaign about it.

It’s actually disrespectful to the topic and all the victims and people who have being working on it for DECADES for some people just wanted to gain that instant gratification or making “western people should learn from this event!” kinda jokes, exploiting other countries’ situation for their own frustration because they also couldn’t set their government to the right direction. And only use such serious topic to justify their own, actually just personal and emotional behavior.

Really, at the end of the day, our own respectively government can only be as decent as the people. When my government did thing wrong, my friends and I asked ourselves what have we been doing wrong? Was that we stopping paying attention to every step it took for a bit too long? Or maybe there’s some events we can do to push it back. Or maybe there’s a coming election where we can voice out our opinions. (Not roasting people online and enjoying the illusion that we at least did some thing.) It’s called being an actual, engaging and responsible citizen.

The UNRWA is concerned that if they do not receive more funding they will run out by the end of February please spread this message

in case any of you missed it, despite the ICJ's ruling for Israel to facilitate MORE aid into Gaza, the global west has responded by cutting funding to UNWRA, which is responsible for delivering significant amounts of aid into Gaza, as well as surrounding areas such as Lebanon. The countries cutting funding consist of the US, Australia, the UK, the Netherlands, Swritzerland, Italy, Germany, Finland, Canada and Japan. This was all due to a claim by Israel that members of UNWRA were Hamas-members or sympathisers which, at the end of the day, is a claim that concerns only 12 members in a total of 30,000.

Without proper funding, UNWRA is likely to run out of resources by February of this year (only another month) and urges the countries that have suspended donations to reconsider. This is a blatant move from the colonialist countries of this world to starve Palestinians even further when they are already facing unforeseen levels of famine.

Please take some time out of your day to call your reps, your political leaders and urge them to restart their funding. In the meantime, here is a link to donate to the UNWRA.

#colonialist countries surprise me every day to what new lows they can sink to #the depravity of the US and their simpering lackies #who wield so much power and use it all for profit #may every politician in power at this time die miserably #unwra #free palestine #free gaza #free west bank #palestine #fuck israel

Colonialist Macron Slams Russia's Africa Project A Predatory

Colonialist Macron Slams Russia’s Africa Project A Predatory

Paris still displays a “paternalistic, condescending and contemptuous attitude towards Africa,” a Nigerian essayist told Sputnik. His statement follows Emmanuel Macron’s accusations against Russia for its so-called “predatory” ambitions on the continent. The French president recently denounced Russia’s “predatory project” on the African continent, but how much leeway does Paris have for itself?…

hey. you. yeah you. if you think every and all zionists are inherently evil and the jewish people have no ties to the levant then the posts about antisemitism are about you.

#antisemitism #jewish #jumblr #i am TIRED of seeing people reblog my posts about antisemitism #with their previous post or following post being 'death to zionists'#or 'all israelis are settler colonialists who deserve to die'#define zionism for me #every definition of all forms of zionism #which is something i cannot do so i am sure you cannot do #so to claim you hate all versions of a concept you do not know is extremist to begin with #but then to have it a concept deeply rooted in jewish identity and history is uuuuh antisemitic #now tell me the history of the land of israel #and the connections between jewish holidays and the land #you can't do that either because then you'll need to admit that jews also belong in the land huh
