*lebanese journalist | could not find date of martyrdom

spent the whole day confirming all of these names and looking through multiple resources. the ones with dates are journalists who’s date of martyrdom and/or exact cause of death is stated by sources besides the government media office official list.

The fact that people keep conflating critiquing government practices and policies with hating an entire religion with its own diaspora of practice is concerning, like in the long term

exactly. people are conflating their own identity with a genocidal regime and then scream bloody murder when you criticise the regime because THEY feel like it’s an attack on their identities 💀 it’s so stupid.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: people who think criticising israel and wanting to dismantle an ethno-religious apartheid state is a sign of antisemitism are only giving their religion and ethnicity a bad name.

it is a farce to believe that israel is the only way jews can be free. it is a farce to believe that jews are more marginalised than the palestinians as a whole.

there was absolutely no need to establish the state of israel in the first place. palestinians welcomed jewish refugees. they only demanded the british reduce the number of jews migrating to palestine because the zionists were saying things like “build a jewish land as jewish as england is english” or “remove the arabs from the land for the jews” or “a land with no people for a people with no land”

it’s completely understandable to not want crazy psycho colonisers and settlers to enter your land from europe of all places when they’ve been spreading ideologies of ethnic cleansing and taking over your land based on THEIR religious scriptures.

and not even that, the very first chapter (well technically second but the first chapter is just defining ethnic cleansing so my brain doesn’t count it HAHA) of ilan pappé’s ethnic cleaning of palestine describes what is truly written in jewish scriptures.

of course there are multiple types of zionism (as you often hear israeli leftists and pro-israel people talk about when you criticise zionism) but this—political zionism—is what’s being weaponised and used in modern day israel to oppress the palestinians. not that the other models or zionism are not rooted in colonial projects as well lol but that’s a separate post for a different day.

the point is… it doesn’t take a genius to understand why palestinians opposed the eventual large emigrations of jews from around the world to palestine. if you’ve seen my post on the timeline of the nakba, you’ll understand exactly what i mean.

having a connection to a land thousands of years back does not give you the right to claim someone else’s home as your own. and saying that should not automatically label you as antisemitic because that implies that your religion supports and endorses the ethnic cleansing of native people from the land to “build your holy land”.

and even so, the land is not just holy to jews. it’s holy to christians and muslims too. it’s valuable and dear to all people of abrahamic religions. so it makes no sense for one group to claim the entirety of it on religious grounds.

nor does it make sense for a marginalised group to claim someone else’s land because they have been ethnically cleansed from the land they were born in. the reward of jewish suffering cannot come at the expense of the suffering of palestinians. i’m not sure why that’s so hard to understand. i don’t see where the antisemitism is in all this.

and i certainly don’t understand the idiots rattling on about “the second coming of holocaust vibes” because zionists are being criticised and as a result there is a spike in antisemitic sentiment among bigoted individuals. how can you worry about a second holocaust when there is a genocide ACTIVELY HAPPENING RIGHT NOW that is being carried out by YOUR STATE, on the basis of YOUR IDENTITY, endorsed by YOUR PEOPLE.

how one can overlook the killings of 20K people and think “gosh i’m worried they’re going to start executing my people again”? i’ll never understand.

never mind how antisemitism is not even a systemic issue. jews are not systemically discriminated against for being jewish. most ashkenazi jews can get away with being jewish with nobody batting an eye other than bigoted people being vile and disgusting. palestinians on the other hand not only are being oppressed by israel and actively being killed and displaced, they are also frequently profiled for being arabs. they are frequently profiled for being muslims. they are systemically profiled. especially in western countries. look at how all the western universities support israel and speak up for israel yet nobody squeaks a word out for palestine. students have to make individual efforts to show solidarity.

refaat alareer was a UCL alumnus yet they refused to even say “rip refaat” on their page. point blank refused. 3 students from brown university were shot for wearing keffiyeh. and yet, universities still want to police students for saying “from the river to the sea” and “intifada” as if they’re calls for genocide.

and even if they are (they’re NOT but let’s imagine)… a call for a genocide cannot take precedence over AN ACTUAL genocide??

ugh sorry this got so long, anon. i got a lil angry. it’s just baffling to me how people can ignore the palestinians like this and refuse to show even an ounce of empathy.

someone on twitter said:

the double standard of the palestinian “conflict” is that any palestinian violence justifies any israeli violence, but no israeli violence ever justifies palestinian violence.

and i haven’t stopped thinking about this since.

any violence by israel is seen as self defense on a land they took by force. and any retaliation by palestinians is seen as an act of “terrorism” even though it was their land that was stolen. it was their people who were massacred and ethnically cleansed in 1948.

it is the palestinians who are constantly being oppressed. it is the palestinians who are largely stateless. it is the palestinians who do not have a right to return. it is the palestinians who are being silenced. it is the palestinians who are being murdered in cold blood.

israel must be dismantled and palestine must be liberated. the palestinians must receive compensation and a restoration of their rights. they must be given their land back. no questions asked.

and before all that… there MUST be a permanent ceasefire and an end to occupation.
