"Calling (your) representatives" was a 21st century US-American prayer, most prominently used from the early 2010s throughout the 2020s. The prayer and the associated ritualistic act of using a cellular or landline telephone to attempt to contact a servant of the local chapter of the civil capital-orthodox aristocracy were believed to be able to influence these servants in order to ward off evil from the person invoking the prayer or practice. It was most popular with adherents to the doctrine of liberalism, to whom interfering directly (or physically) with matters of their own government and its aristocracy was anathema.

THIS is what's wrong with the phrase "Self-Hating Jew". I am NOT self-loathing because I oppose the state of Israel. I love my Jewish heritage, my Jewish culture. I love Yiddish as a language and I love Yiddish theatre and I love klezmer.

My culture is incredibly important to me, and that is a core reason why I oppose Zionism. Zionism has sought to ERASE my culture and everything that I love about it in favor of the idea of a manufactured "Israeli culture".

In Israel, Palestinian Imprisonment Continues Even After Death

The policy of postmortem detention leaves grieving families without closure. 

[nativenews]

142 dead Palestinians, most of whom are children, are kept in refrigerators as form of collective punishment and psychological torture against their families. Some have been there for 40 years. Read that again.

It’s wild seeing people go “okay it’s clearly Stockholm syndrome” to freed hostages thanking Hamas, saying goodbye and smiling/waving to Hamas as the IOF takes them and then also Israel keeping hostages under tight media supervision and advising them not to speak on their experiences when in actuality what probably happened was during this time the captives learned closely the the propaganda of their government that paints Hamas and Palestinians more broadly as monsterous subhumans wasn’t true. You can’t deny that hostages have consistently reported they were treated well and that the real fear was from the constant bombardments.

Comparing that with Palestinian captives being released after years of torture and abuse, some unable to even recognize their families, mothers crying over the lost years with their children, all of them detailing the horrors they face AND the fact that israel is keeping the bodies of those who died during imprisonment to finish out their sentence, them telling release children that they will be back, banning celebrations and expressions of joy in public at the release of captives as “supporting terrorists”

Idk just the more you see the more warped everything is.

"Stockholm Syndrome" was invented when a hostage complained that the police kept doing reckless things that endangered her life so the hostage-taker kept protecting her from the cops.

She was fully aware he was only protecting her because she was useful as a bargaining chip, however the fact remains the cops were the only danger to her life during the hostage situation. Rather than admit this the cops had someone make up a diagnosis as part of a smear campaign.

So the hostages that have been protected by Hamas while Israel dropped countless bombs in an attempt to kill them do in fact have a connection to Stockholm syndrome.

Biden should rightly be denounced but don't forget BOTH parties are beholden to the Zionist lobbies.

No republican ever stood up to Israel.

Only Obama did that.

crazy that in the 1970s they were like, "fine, women can play sports. but because they're innately less athletic than men, only in a special ghettoized League For The Frail And Delicate where they get paid less 😊". And not only is that still the system in 2023, but viciously lashing out at the smallest challenges to that system gets framed as Feminist Praxis

[synthient]

even setting aside the fact that gendered bodytype averages aren't universals, and plenty of individual (cis) women and (cis) men could easily go to toe to toe. have we considered that the fact that all the most prominent and well-paid sports are ones that require things like Being Tall and Having Muscle Mass, as opposed to, ex, gymnastics...is itself an artifact of sexism

[beemovieerotica]

also to people who are like "well do you think WOMEN should be playing AMERICAN FOOTBALL against MEN" actually I don't think anyone should be playing american football on account of, you know, the irreversible brain damage.

seeing Palestinian men having to expose their own stories of surviving sexual abuse to combat the flood of atrocity propaganda painting Palestinian men as barbaric sexual abusers should make every white western “feminist” ashamed of themselves but I know the suffering of Palestinians has never moved them

[psychotrenny]

The good thing about the word "Tankie" is that it's a very useful litmus test for how worthwhile someone's politics are. Like if a person uses that word unironically like as an pejorative then you instantly know that they whatever they have to say is unlikely to be worth listening too

To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.

And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.

Saint Porphyrius Church, built in 1150 and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.

It's not an accident.

Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.

Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.

It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.

Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.

But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.

There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.

Traditions they've carried for centuries.

So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.

Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.
