Alright let's imagine a scene that is all too normal in palestine. A palestinian business owner finds his building covered in graffiti stars of Davids and Hebrew that says "gas the arabs" and "death to arabs"

Now imagine there's a reporter there and asks the palestinian business owner what happens and they say "the jews attacked my business"

Pause. Now your response might be "uncle no. Say israelis not jews" and then this is when he would look at you like youre stupid because the israelis doing this are jewish. They are not the Christians or the druze or the palestinian ones with Israeli citizenship. They are Jewish israelis who believe in their religious supremacy. When you graffiti stars of david all over a palestinian business, car, or the street you seek that conflation. it sends a message, this is jewish land and you're next.

The problem is that these videos circulate in zionist circles. "Watch this video of children in gaza calling for the death of jews" "watch how they say they want to fight and kill jews" those children are referring to Israeli soldiers that come in night and do their raids with the star of David attached to their uniform or the ones that bomb them. It's easy to watch those videos and assume that palestinians are indoctrinating their children on anti semitism or you can realize that those children's only interaction with jewish ppl is through violence and parents cannot protect their children from this. Doesn't matter context is lost

Abby Martin went to Jerusalem and interviewed israelis for 2 hours and she says every israeli was extremely confident to say that this land is for them and that they should push the Arabs out and when she interviewed palestinians they spoke of freedom from occupation and their dreams. That's reality. Not the soundbites.

And yet we have invasive youtubers and interviewers constantly in the street of ramallah or wherever in palestine asking palestinians "do you hate jews?" And in those videos you hear those palestinians say "no we have no problem with jews we have a problem with occupation and we have a problem with zionism." Bc this is how we are trained to respond to this trope. Palestinians are very aware what the world thinks of us and the reality is that many palestinians have internalized it and we grow up reading books on the Holocaust and train ourselves to recognize anti semitic dog whistles so zionists don't get the soundbites they want.

So we say "anti zionism is not anti semitism" and we say "israeli zionists" and we do not say "jewish supremacy" even thought it exists in palestine but "zionist supremacy" and in these carefully worded speech we water down what is happening to us in an effort to not deter people away from solidarity. But it means nothing. The world categorically blames palestinians for rising anti semitism they blame us for jewish insecurity globally.

marxists: anarchism is an unserious ideology

anarchists: shows how much you know, it's not a political ideology at all it's a LIFESTYLE (all political ideologies are equally bad so we don't have one)

#i dont Want To Be Sectarian but.#how is this even different from a liberal who shoplifts and does graffiti #what part of life is this person doing differently from a liberal engaged in some other counterculture #this is like if the FBI could custom order a belief system to poison organizing efforts

Finally saw across the spider-verse for the first time. Immediately started drawing this until like 3 am.

Anyway, here’s my spidersona, Spider Ink. She comes from a post hardcore grunge world where everything is rendered with ink and the youth are fighting against a fascist regime that wants people to only color within the lines.

Featuring a lil Hobie bc he’s the best guy to ever

#across the spiderverse #spiderverse #spidersona #hobie brown #hobie spiderverse #spiderverse fanart #spider punk #spiderman #spiderverse oc #oc #moth draws #messy sketch bc my brain cells only stretch so far #I like to imagine my oc as a tattoo artist in their personal life and an activist graffiti artist on the side #her webs are ink based #wherever she goes she always makes a mess #she’s not actually bothered by hobie splashing the paint
