It's barely even queer, when the least safe of minorities (as evidenced by being the most hate-crimed) isn't protected amongst you. Queer has always had a defiant political element, and there's nothing defiant in joining the majority of humanity in hating Jews. You're just aligning with your next oppressors, and then you'll pretend to be surprised when they turn on you
"I'm tired of living through historic events" actually becky you're living in one of the most peaceful periods in human history in one of the safest countries on earth. it's just that you're being bombarded by scaremongering 24/7. unplug and be free becky.
I think something a lot of people don't get is that they think Zionism is Jewish supremacy, when in reality it's Jewish nationalism. And they don't get what nationalism is either. Right-wing, populist, ULTRAnationalist parties like the GOP, Reform UK, Vox or AfD have stolen the word and turned it into "xenophobia". All it means is that nations have the right to their own state that protects them.
If you think the US should exist, you're an American nationalist. If you think China should exist, you're a Chinese nationalist. If you think Germany should exist, you're a German nationalist. Anti-Zionism means you desire the destruction of the only Jewish state.
also if you think America and Canada shouldn't exist, but you placidly sit back and go "well, not much to do about that" but actively advocate for the destruction of the only Jewish state
"not destroyed just dismantled!!!!1!!" stfu. we see you. there's no way that "dismantling" doesn't end with roughly 6m more dead Jews.
Being detained and deported for attempting illegal entry to aid a terrorist organization is not kidnapping. Little material aid is carried by these flotillas, they could easy get it through via proper channels, and breaking the blockade aids Hamas weapon smuggling.
I'm so sick of israhell consistently getting such high scores in the eurovision
I think we need to neutralize the cabal of zionist jewish illegal propaganda voting by making sure that ALL the candidates are Jewish, that way the worldwide jewish communities won't be able to organize around voting for Israel.
all jewish eurovision, it's the only way to fight the zionist agenda
My father had to pay almost 2 million tomans for 2 gigabyte of shitty vpn config from god knows where just so my family can see my face after more than a month. Just to paint a picture of how EXPENSIVE that is: one dollar is about 180000 tomans and one euro is about 210000 tomans and it’s increasing daily with Iran’s current inflation no thanks to the mullahs
And why is that? Because the shitty islamic regime has cut off the internet since the war started to silence Iranian voices
And yet the regime supporters get access to government provided internet to spread regime propaganda…
Anyways fuck the islamic republic regime and free Iran💚🦁❤️
There is a recording making its way around Arab intelligence services this month. In it, Mahmoud Abbas, the 89-year-old president of the Palestinian Authority, serving twenty years into a four-year term, expresses quiet satisfaction that Saudi Arabia was struck by Iranian regime missiles during the war. He says, in the coded language Palestinian politicians use when they think nobody is listening, that the Saudis had it coming.
He did not know he was being recorded.
He knows now.
...
When Israel and the United States opened the war on the regime in Iran this spring, the Palestinian factions discovered something they had spent decades insulating themselves from. They were irrelevant to their own war. The biggest Middle East war in a generation was unfolding, and nobody in any serious capital was asking Ramallah or Gaza what they thought.
The Palestinian commentator Ahmad al- Attawna put words to it on Arab television:
"The Palestinian people clearly have no leadership, and I'm not speaking metaphorically; even in reality, there is no true leadership capable of presenting the Palestinian people with a vision or a sense of where they are headed."
That is a Palestinian, in Arabic, to an Arab audience, saying the thing Palestinian intellectuals have been whispering in private from Amman to Ramallah for years.
...
On paper, Mahmoud Abbas should have welcomed this war. The regime in Iran is the patron of his worst enemies; the force that expelled his government from Gaza in the 2007 coup and has been agitating against his rule in the West Bank ever since. The humbling of Tehran should have been the best month
Abbas had in twenty years.
Instead, he spent it nursing a grievance.
Saudi Arabia has spent the last several years reducing its financial support to the Palestinian Authority, the slow drawdown Gulf royals use to send a message. Abbas has never forgiven them.
...
So when Iranian missiles started landing in Riyadh, Abbas, if the recording is authentic, which every official I have spoken to about it believes it is, expressed joy in what he thought were private conversations. Open pleasure that the Saudis were getting what he felt they had coming.
The Saudis found out, as the Saudis always do.
...
What this month exposed is a truth the Palestinian national movement has spent fifty years concealing from the world and from itself.
It does not have principles. It has patrons. Hamas's loyalty to Iran lasted exactly as long as Iran was the strongest player in the room. Abbas's commitment to Arab solidarity lasted exactly as long as the Saudis were signing the checks.
Call this what it is. A franchise operation. Loyalty runs in one direction only: downward from the top, and evaporates the moment the royalty payments stop.
I have spent years being told, in every Western capital where I am invited to speak, that the Palestinian cause is the conscience of the Arab world. This month, the Arab world watched Hamas refuse to lift a finger for the regime that armed it for twenty years, and watched the president of the Palestinian Authority laugh at the destruction of the country that has paid his civil servants’ salaries for most of his presidency.
Therein lies the conscience of the Arab world.
Iran will punish Hamas quietly, the way Tehran punishes proxies who disappoint it: a late transfer, a missed shipment, a Quds Force contact who stops returning calls. The Saudis will decide what to do with Abbas, and my guess is that Mohammed bin Salman is already running the arithmetic on whether it is easier to replace the old man than to reform him. Saudi-Israeli normalization is back on the table, and MBS is not the kind of ruler who lets a man with a recording problem sit across the table of the deal that reshapes the region.
The Palestinian people, the actual people, the ones nobody in Ramallah or Doha or Tehran has consulted in decades, will be handed whatever arrangement the leaders decide to hand them.
That is the consequence of a leadership that spent a war performing for three audiences at once, and forgot the oldest rule of politics in the Arab world:
Someone in the room is always recording.
If this gave you a sharper picture of what just happened in the Arab world, forward it to one person who is still operating on 2023 assumptions.
He thought nobody was listening. The Saudis heard everything. And the Palestinian Authority will never recover.
The Palestinian-raping dogs story is literally the funniest thing to come out of this war like ppl believing in the mossad agent dolphins was also good but this is next lvl schizophrenia

Noam Bettan saying the Shema on international TV during the Eurovision Final point reveal is everything to me
If you saw this, and you are Jewish? You knew exactly what he was doing.
And it was fucking EVERYTHING to me.
It was a stressful situation. So what's he do? He covers his eyes in Shin and says the Shema.
Essa enai, I cast my eyes to the mountains from where does my strength come, it comes from the Lord.
Yeah. Eeeing Jews be Jewish visibly on the international stage? So incredibly special to me. So important.
Thank you Noam Bettan. Thank you for praying visibly. At home and away, morning evening and night.
Just. Yeah. That...means so much to me, to see a Jew pray in a context that isn't life and death or despair or greivous harm. No its "am I going to win or not" just like how the Christians in the same position would clasp their hands and pray to their Jesus in the same position.
Thank you.
Thank you for making me feel normal. Thank you for making me feel like I can be MORE JEWISH. I needed to see it.
This? Is why things like Eurovision and Israel being in Eurovision matters.
Fuck the rest of the world. It's for people like me.
Dude, let them have this. They went from "Israel shouldn't compete" to "fine then we won't compete" to "Israhell is gonna suck anyway no one vote for them" before finally settling on "well they got only second place with solid ratings from the judges as well as the audiences, so I call that a win for Palestine" (? I guess?).
Like, they need something to hang on to or their entire identity and all the Performative Good Person Points they've been accumulating for the last 2.5 years get erased.
Not only is OP super brave, I actually think this post is what's gonna do it. It's gonna free Palestine. Just watch.
