“We ask that, as President of the United States, you call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost,” it reads. “More than 5,000 people have been killed in the last week and a half – a number any person of conscience knows is catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians.”
"Beyond our pain and mourning for all of the people there and their loved ones around the world we are motivated by an unbending will to stand for our common humanity,” it concluded. “We stand for freedom, justice, dignity and peace for all people – and a deep desire to stop more bloodshed. We refuse to tell future generations the story of our silence, that we stood by and did nothing.”
"I am a product of war. My family was displaced. Palestinians are spread all throughout the Earth. And we have to get up on stages like this, in the middle of the street, to say, 'hey, we're human. Hey guys, we're people too.' What a ridiculous thing to do. What a ridiculous thing to have to do to say that I'm a person. I bleed. My grandparents bleed."
Palestinian-American writer and comedian, Mo Amer at a pro-Palestine rally in Washington.
Since Bassem Youssuf went out and swore in Arabic on Westren television i think it is our duty to show people that Mo Amr bit where he explains Arabic swear words and why they are so much better than English ones.
Tell you what... if the western world is really really nice and does not participate in killing and funding and ignoring Palestinians, maybe we can all sit for tea one day and explain the intricacies of A7a.
Netflix’s family-based Palestinian-American comedy series inspired by Amer’s real-life experiences as a refugee seeking asylum in Houston after fleeing the first Gulf War in Kuwait is full of hustle. Featuring many colourful characters, the show finds humour in specific cultural details about Muslim and Arab life in Texas and the experience of desperation after reliving past trauma over and over again.
Being “stateless” and belonging nowhere reverberates within the series with rich explorations of the complexities of Islam and the Palestinian diaspora in today’s world. It’s a very fun show based squarely on family with more than a few dramatic thrills to its episodic unfolding.
“Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.” (Warner Bros Pictures)

Mo: I think you stopped too short, you know? You stopped with Moses. Moses is amazing, we love Moses, Moses is a beloved prophet. But there’s other prophets that you should really look into, you know? Let’s not start with Jesus, bring up old wounds. You know what I’m saying, this could help you out. Here read the Quran. (Notices jewelry) Hey this is really nice I like this.
