Placing misogyny as an inherent trait of men/masculinity is just another form of "boys will be boys" btw. You cannot ever meaningfully hold misogynists accountable if you treat it as an inherent trait of their identify and not bigotry they are willfully perpetuating.
When you state that Israel is a WHITE colonial project and people start breaking down the demographics of Israelis for you... How do you miss the point so badly. It doesn't matter how diverse the colony is when its PURPOSE is to uphold imperialism and white supremacy in the region. People of color can and have contributed to such projects and it doesn't change what they are. The US army is diverse too and it exists to enforce white imperialism.
Also it's as if the Palestinians who got expelled, killed, tortured care if their occupiers are brown or not lmao, we call it a white settler colony because it was conceived by white colonialists who had a vested interest it removing the native population through means they deemed necessary.
Its also frustratingly annoying that Palestinians have to take into account the demographics of nonPalestinians who settle on their land and kill them when criticizing them. "You're hurting our feelings calling us white while we rape, murder, and torture you :(" is somehow a legitimate argument to israelis and their supporters. I literally don't care who you are, you're killing my people in the name of white settler colonialism. I'm going to call you white.
Some of you are operating under this weird white savior idea that you’re saving Palestinian culture by mass consuming Palestinian themed items without sensitivity or reason. You’re not saving Palestinian culture by mass buying kuffiyeh print scrunchies or doing Palestinian miku fanart - you preserve Palestinian culture by preserving Palestinians. Palestinians are going to be the ones preserving our culture, just as we have for decades before this escalation. Not you. Please take a step back and actually treat our customs and identity with respect, not just a thing you can take from.
Just saw a liberal Zionist reblog this and its so funny because good on you you’re not mass buying kuffiyeh scrunchies now can you get out of my family’s homes and give us our land back. Since you understand Palestinians aren’t just people to take from. Right.

I’m Ahmed Alanqar from Gaza, where we have lived our entire lives under siege, facing daily hardships and military actions. In October 2023, the conflict escalated catastrophically, destroying my newly built home, my neighborhood, my workplace, and robbing us of our sense of safety.

We are now homeless, desperately seeking a chance to build a new life away from the constant threat of bombings that have become our grim reality.
As we face this challenge, my children are always at the forefront of my mind: Zeina (8 years), Eileen (7 years), Yamen (5 years), and Ronza, who is just four months old and was born during the war.
My wife Dina and I dream of offering them better opportunities than we ever had, a future filled with security and happiness. 💜
Ronza: A Symbol of Innocence Amidst the Destruction 💝
Every time I look at Ronza, I see pure innocence in her eyes, unaware of the terror that surrounds us. She smiles and plays, oblivious to the danger and destruction around her. I can't help but wonder: How long will this innocence last? How long can we protect her and her siblings from this reality? I know that I want them to have a life they deserve, free from fear and filled with love and opportunity.

€78,110 / €100,000! It's €21,890 til €100k but you can also think of it as €1,890 til €80k. pushing for smaller goals temporarily still helps reach the larger one and can make it feel not as daunting! please help out if you can any amount helps even the minimum of €5!
when i was a teenager it felt very revolutionary to be cruel to myself. like some kind of slow passive protest against how much everything hurt. i starved myself of sleep and food and tenderness because it felt right. it felt sharp and angry and radical and i wanted to be those things. adulthood is the realisation that the world is already working to cut into you well before you learn how to do it yourself. caring for yourself and others is the real protest
Willem Arondéus (22 August 1894 – 1 July 1943) was a Dutch artist and author who joined the Dutch anti-Nazi resistance movement during World War II. He participated in the bombing of the Amsterdam public records office to hinder the Nazi German effort to identify Dutch Jews and others wanted by the Gestapo. Arondéus was caught and executed soon after his arrest. Yad Vashem recognized Arondéus as Righteous Among the Nations.
Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.
Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:
"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."
