Israel is doing what America did to Natives almost bar for bar🧵
-Claiming they have a right to the land bc there ppl were there according to their holy texts -> america was colonized in the name of god and “manifest destiny.” w/religion being used to justify it

one thing i’ve noticed at protests is white ppl outwardly agitating cops. they flip them off, call them names, etc. don’t get me wrong, screw the cops, but white ppl agitating cops when they’re in a crowd full of brown and black ppl is soooo dangerous and reckless

idk if i have to say this again bc its been said a lot, but for people who havent been teargassed before, its miserable. Your eyes sting, it makes you need to gasp for air but you cant do that or else you inhale more. its painful.

did a mall shutdown and there were several times i saw white allies flipping off the security/cops, yelling at them, cursing at them, etc. this was a smaller protest compared to the marches with wayyyyy more police presence. they were putting all the black & brown ppl at risk

exactlyyyy. i feel like they think they’re using their privilege to stand up to power but in reality they’re abusing that privilege bc all they’re doing is antagonizing cops who will likely take it out on brown & black ppl, not just the white person

Native communities in NA have an opportunity right now. palestinians are actively doing physical decolonization and taking their land back. this should be a moment of us mobilizing to support them and learn what true decolonization is. instead, we are arguing over “pretendians”

i meant using more of their religion to hide behind their actions i.e. if you condem israel you are antisemitic despite manymany jewish ppl who hate israel. i also wanna point out that america is not a theocracy either but they still used religion to justify their actions

in that situation, especially given the type of action, is not necessarily a time or place you want to agitate the police bc it could easily get out of hand and the black and brown ppl would be targeted more than the few white ppl

i think it depends on the organizers/type of event/overall context. my op was referring to an action in a mall, where there was overwhelming amount of private security and police, with maybe 100/150 ppl in attendance. inciting something then, where the crowd is mostly (1/2)

the way zionists frame anything to do with palestine as “threatening” to Jewish people is intentional. they want Israel to be synonymous with an entire religion when it isnt. Israel is a colonizing, genocidal institution and THAT is what palestinians are fighting against.
Imagine being a Jewish student on this campus and watching this terror-supporting parade make its way through the University.
How can Jewish students feel safe in this environment?
