#this whole year has been bnfs being assholes to palestinians

[palipunk]

Saw that you don't support Dalishious. Can I kindly ask why? I find it very hard to navigate around this fandom.

A few things, I have it all under their username if you search up Dalishious or Kispesan on my blog, but if it’s difficult to put together - they had originally written a very poor and tone deaf article about Eurovision that completely ignored the concerns of Palestinians and knew of the boycott Palestinians had asked for with the event but watched it anyways? 

Half of their apology was directed to others and essentially was just a link to my post to explain what was wrong with the article and didn’t elaborate or really say themselves what was wrong? I had reblogged their apology with these concerns and a few others I had but their reply was condescending and tried to say they had talked about Palestine on their blog before (they actually hadn’t, the org they listed was about various different struggles in the Middle East, which did include Palestine - but it’s a bit weird to say you talked about Palestine when you were just citing an org that talked about the Middle East as a whole, since we’re not homogeneous?) 

I’ll put the rest under the read more because it does involve the discussion of the buffalo shooting (cw shooting mention, antiblack violence mention, bigotry towards Palestinians, antisemitism mention) 

Sometime after that they received an ask about Palestine and had answered it with a link that was connected to another post. This was the ask:

Which I will say its very ironic that they want to be more supportive and respectful of Palestinians all the while conflating Palestinians and our liberation with antisemitism (which BDS or antiSemitism was not even mentioned in the ask), if you check this post now, Lydia has deleted the link after being called out on what it contained - but the linked post was a very misinformed post about BDS and that BDS was targeting jewish organizations and students for no reason (which they weren’t, and this has been debunked for months), but the most insulting and quite frankly extremely bigoted part of the post was the implication that BDS was inspired by the Buffalo shooter and that BDS was comparable to post 9-11 surveillance of Muslims. Which if you aren’t aware, BDS is the main Palestinian led organization calling for boycotts and sanctions towards Israel and there have been attempts to criminalize the boycotting of Israel. 

I believe the op of the post has deleted it (Good ) but there are dozens of people who saw it that can attest to it’s existence, including the people under my post, my Palestinian mutuals, and in the notes of theirs. Lydia received another ask about Palestine and their stance and Lydia basically denied anything happened and continued on as normal, which was incredibly messed up as they had just linked something that implied Palestinians were inspired by a white supremacist that had just murdered ten black people in buffalo. (if you can figure out the wayback machine, it was under this link: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/benedarkmansabookiread/686650329403670528 )

after their behavior towards me and my friends and their arrogance I have no interest in supporting their content or posts and I would implore others to do the same and hold the people around them accountable for bigotry - Palestinians shouldn’t be thrown under the bus
