Please listen.
“They are being raped. I am not exaggerating. The prisoners are being raped. We were being cursed 24/7. They tore our Quran books, they urinated on our Qurans.”
A Palestinian who was just released from Israeli prisons testifies that the Zionist regime is subjecting Palestinian political prisoners to brutal treatment, including sexual assault and rape.
Take in this image. Think about what it means to have a number drawn onto your body in the middle of the night. A child is narrating. Read it in his voice.
not to be all serious and stuff but do you guys ever see a video of yourself as a child and feel sick about the choices you’ve made to betray someone so innocent
there are five people sitting in prison for sending aid to Gaza via the Holy Land Foundation because they were accused of sending money to Hamas without proof, but you can send money directly to Ukraine's military...
A very large part of the reason why I’m anti-Zionist is because there is simply no incentive for Israel to stop inflicting this type of torture. It has been well-documented for the past 75 years. As long as they have power, they’ll continue.
"Decolonize academia" as in make it so that universities generally support various real decolonization movements and reflect it in their curriculums? Or as in more diversity lol
For people who are upset about being asked about your views on Palestine:
What do you think it feels like, as a Palestinian to hear someone use social justice-y language to say you aren't owed an answer as to whether or not a person gives a shit about your oppression?
Koren publishers, the same people who publish siddurim and talmud sets, is putting out a book denying one of the deadliest massacres of Palestinian people.
Sometimes I think about what these soldiers must have underwent, psychologically, so that they can do this night after night without qualms. Utterly terrifying when you stop and consider it.
@communoah
I'm not sure if this works for anyone else but applying to 8 or 9 in one hypomanic-ish night and then waiting and responding to inquiries for a week or two works way better than setting daily goals or whatever
enough about serving cunt, let's talk about serving Kant. How do you honor aesthetics as having arisen from a faculty of disinterested judgment in your daily lives?

"Hey! I saw these specific trees in the background of your picture that show where you live. EYE am just telling you to warn you. Because of all those OTHER creeps out there :)"
The reason I refuse to make a glib platitude abt violence being bad is not because it’s something to celebrate. It’s because the relevance of what I personally think is right pales in comparison to the plain inevitability of violence under conditions of a military occupation.
Ladies if he

He's not your man. He's Gregor Samsa.
Jesus matters so little to Judaism that he isn’t even our favorite false messiah. Ask any orthodox 12 year old for an example of one. they’ll mention a bipolar guy from the 1700s.
If Jesus isn’t Jewish then Christians aren’t saved.
To deny his Jewish identity is to deny the ancient prophecies given by Jewish patriarchs that lead to Christian salvation.
Your choice.
If you lost everything and became homeless tomorrow, would you want "services?"A psych evaluation? A social worker pitifully bobbing their head at you while informing you of curfew?
Or would you say "I just need some fucking food and a place to stay"
I’m bracing myself in horror for what’s going to happen in Palestine for the next couple of weeks. I’m sad to see how many people believe that support for decolonization by any means necessary equals a gleeful approval of every last decision or a flippant acceptance of bloodshed
Dr. Lara Sheehi, an Arab psychoanalytic researcher, is being discriminated against by the American Psychoanalytic Association following unfounded accusations of antisemitism against her that were instigated by a Pro-Israel hate group, StandWithUs
It is shocking and horrifying that Zionism has been normalized into a friendly, apolitical value to be protected, to the point that this was allowed to happen.
Skunk water sprayed onto students. Without investigation.
Two Columbia University students, both IOF soldiers, sprayed a chemical weapon on peaceful protesters. Skunk spray is used on Palestinians in the West Bank by the Israeli occupation. It is known to cause nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
@Columbia
must take action.
The images that Zionists project onto the movement for Palestine—namely, that this movement supports rape as a means of resistance—must be met with zero tolerance and treated as lies. We must let go of all premises that they’re well-intentioned, or even confused
"what about people who rape or murder under an abolitionist society" is actually not a dumb question and i'd wish people would stop dismissing it like that
the way Zionist college students depend on people's lack of knowledge about Judaism for their BDS bills is kind of hilarious. Unless all you eat is Osem soup nuts, those peanut butter cheetos, and Israeli wine...kosher + BDS is very easy
in retrospect, I think it’s pretty cool that I got through the worst few months of my life by simply going to operas and plays two to three times a week. 10/10 coping strategy. Should be added to DBT manual
While that food truck losing one spot at one food festival was a three day discourse, a Palestinian lost her entire job as a pediatrician because of a Zionist doxxing website. This happens all the time, left and right.
A Palestinian pediatrician working at Phoenix Children's Hospital. She wrote on her personal Facebook account, "The end of Israel is near." The Zionist institutions contacted the hospital, accusing it of anti-Semitism and inciting public opinion until she was suspended.
The board of Ben & Jerry’s has confirmed they will not renew a licensing agreement in Israel. This effectively means the licensee will not sell or manufacture Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel or its illegal settlements.
Read our full statement:
the gag is that by explaining to a man how you’re better than another type of woman and labeling her a “pick me” you are in fact engaging in your own beautiful and unique pick me behavior. like a pick-me snowflake
There's this (newish?) trend where someone says "therapy is for good people (me) and not for mean people (they'll learn to be meaner)" and gets all these retweets
Also it bears repeating—if there ever is a ceasefire, the death toll as a result of this period of time will continue to rise. Forget that Israel controlled the water supply and electricity and was already killing them that way before October 7th—the results of these past 6…
My hot take is that Ashkenazi food is good and some people like it and others don't and we don't need to come up with ahistorical reasons as to why it tastes the way it does
I'm seriously wondering what the average twitter user thinks happens in a therapy session. Is it like, we teach people a list of words every week? And they memorize it and then tell us how they used them with their friends?
other than the fact that demonizing mutual aid for Gaza is racist, you'd just have to be a fucking idiot to think that Hamas relies on its funds from college students doing mutual aid
If there is a ceasefire now, or tomorrow, or next week, the violence that the Zionist entity has enacted upon the people of Gaza will not have ended. How many lives will be lost this year, next year, due to the razing of a hospital? There’s no way to count.
Idpol has a very real role re the genocide in Gaza, and it’s usually the following:
“If I’m Zionist, it’s because this is *real* to me. If you’re anti-Zionist it’s because you’re 22 years old, TikTok-pilled, a provocateur, terminally online.”
What does this imply?
There is no identity politics, no trauma response language that could ever excuse what is being done to the people of Gaza. There are children carrying corpses, there are babies dying in the NICU. It really doesn’t matter who you are when you look at it and shrug
(types of responses to this)
1. haha good joke!
2. What about other minority religions? you don't care? huh????
3. You are not a real Jew
4. I understand, but you have to see that 4 months off is really hard for employers
5. Atheism forever! fuck your sky daddy!
Leftist Jewish facebook is where you say "how do you say this in Yiddish" and you get an essay about the fetishization of Eastern European Jewry in the comments
Somebody one day will tweet "my beis din is finally happening!!" and everyone will be like "mazal tov" and they'll say "I'm not converting, it's just somebody sued me bc my ox gored them"
i think shehecheyanu is the most beautiful bracha of all. Thank God not for the beauty of the moment, but for having sustained us through life so that we could come to it.
For every palestinian college student that gets doxxed over their anti-israel tweets, how many accounts are there out there on this website that are calling for a second holocaust? are they getting doxxed?
To people who want to learn more about Deyr Yassin and the impact the Nakba had on the Palestinian people, I'd recommend 1948: Creation and Catastrophe as a source
The ADL and the AJC petitioned to get the Holy Land Foundation's tax exempt status revoked in 1994. In 2001, George Bush issued an executive order to shut it down on the claim that the schools they were funding "encourage children to become suicide bombers."
The basis of these claims against the Holy Land Foundation are founded upon anti-Arab conspiracy theories and tangential relationships to Gaza's government.
This is why everyone should steer clear of all mental health startups like BetterHelp or Talkspace. They do not guarantee your privacy, nor are they legally considered therapy or counseling in the US.
I sat shiva for my mom after she set my bedtime at 9 pm. I covered the mirrors w a sheet and sat on a little chair about it for about 12 minutes and then she was like “hey it’s time to go to school”
Basically everyone has a “John Lennon beat his wife” style fact that they cant stop themselves from sharing if anything even tangentially related comes up in conversation
@CliveSLewisBR
A Catholic church? Of course. A mosque? There would need to be quite specific circumstances, and it would have to be clear that we were observing rather than participating. We can say "Amen" to Jewish prayers in ways that we couldn't to Muslim or Hindu worship.
Only a monster of a state could do break in at 4 am and arrest sleeping people so that they can demolish their house and take everything they have. Dear God.
@USC
you're more concerned about the safety of people who dug through someone's personal social media for tweets they didn't like than of someone whose family is currently being threatened?
