So over the last 6/7 months or so [potentially more], some lowlife “cultural Zionist” shits [who are really just liberal Zionists] and their friends have been spreading some pretty serious rumors and lobbing accusations against me, by going inbox to inbox of people close to me/people I associate with, attempting to alienate me, smear me, or God knows what else.
Well, here’s the real story
About two/three years ago or so, there were a group of blogger on here that were part of what they’d called the ~cultural Zionist~ crowd. They were essentially a small group of nobodies who latched onto particular Palestinian bloggers, myself included, in order to build some dialogue and explain the ~real~ history of Zionism, and why it’s ~problematique~ and anti-semitic to criticize Zionism as a whole while ignoring the ~nuances~ behind it.
Being more young and dumb at the time, I humored them, and one blogger in particular, thearcanetheory [arcane, for short].
This was someone I had befriended and even skyped on several occasions, which I very soon came to regret for a number of reasons. They were buddy buddy with many Palestinian bloggers, as well as many pro-Israeli bloggers...and expected everyone to be okay with that.
Arcane and Co. came to police Palestinians and their voices, and would regularly peruse the Palestine and Israel tags just to reblog and derail posts made by Palestinians about their lives and the situation in our homeland, demanding explicit explanation of things that were apparently beyond her comprehension. She’d regularly lob the “anti-Semitic” accusation against Palestinian blogger who failed to distinguish between the different “types” of Zionism in their posts, even to Palestinians living in Palestine who frankly couldn’t and shouldn’t care less when at the end of the day, it was Zionism that resulted in the lives we live today.
I was called anti-Semitic for reblogging a quote by Dr. Norman Finklestein, for example.
This same individual SO demanding of ~nuance~, ~clarification~, and champion of pointing out anything they’d personally deem “problematic” then went on to make a joke about eating Palestinian children with several other bloggers who were pretty well-established anti-Palestinians. She then added to this joke about how Palestinians were “stringy and lean” to eat, joking about Israel’s policy of controlling the caloric intake of those living in Gaza. Apparently, to her, that wasn’t at all “problematic”, as she refused to apologize and instead took a hardline defensive position when people called her out on it.
This post here is specifically about that singular incident [although it lacks the part about being “stringy and lean”, which can be found in her tag, thearcanetheory].
Rather than apologize for this seriously shitty “joke”, she began lobbing accusations of anti-semitism and misogyny to those who called it out, because apparently this ~nuanced~ individual was unable to comprehend why it is that people were so upset with her.
During her time on tumblr, numerous Palestinian bloggers had messaged me, telling me how they no longer felt comfortable writing about their lives/experiences in Palestine because they were afraid of being attacked by her and her posse, which really speaks to the type of bullshit this individual would pull, and was also something addressed in the various callouts of her and her crew.
Part of these “callouts” involved me posting messages she had sent me privately on Facebook, as well as reblogging old posts of hers. In my posting of these messages, I didn’t block out her name. Why? BECAUSE HER GODDAMNED NAME WAS ALREADY ALL OVER HER BLOG AND HER TAG, AS WERE IMAGES OF HER, AND THEY STILL ARE
But what happens instead? Having still not apologized for the shittiness she brought to the site and the shit she’d done to other Palestinians, including her MASSIVE tokenization of Palestinians who were kind enough to humor/speak with her, she then starts lobbing accusations of “doxxing”, claiming me to be a raging misogynistic anti-Semite who only wants to dox Jewish bloggers.
Which is, frankly, bullshit.
Numerous people made posts asking for proof of any of this, saying they’d break ties with me should any sort of evidence/~receipts~ be given [as it should be, because misogyny and anti-Semitism are obviously things that ANYONE should break ties with ANYONE else over]
The thing is, none of those posts were answered with anything other than my posting of these conversations had with thearcanetheory, when again, HER NAME AND IMAGE WAS ALREADY ALL OVER HER BLOG AND IN HER TAGS, AS IT STILL IS, ALONGSIDE HER FREAKING CITY LIKE?????????? If anyone doxxed anyone, she’d been doxxing herself throughout the existence of her blog.
But nope. Apparently this crew of liberal Zionists sought to smear another Palestinian blogger with the same old accusations used time and time and time again, further proving that they’re nothing but shit.
Fast-forward to two years or so later...and this same individual, thearcanetheory [now under a different blog that I won’t refer to here so as to limit the possibility of any more bullshit ~doxxing~ accusations] is going around to people I associate with, asking them to break ties with me because I’m a “misogynistic anti-Semite who runs minors off this site”.
The funny thing is, in the messages sent to others to “warn” about me apparently, NEVER was it brought up who these individuals were to begin with, or what their role in any of this was, from their silencing and policing of Palestinian bloggers and making this website unsafe/uncomfortable for them, to their racist “jokes” against my people and the suffering we endure. How convenient.
Instead, it’s all fed to others with the typical tumblr buzzwords of “abusive”, “unsafe”, etc
Not to mention that these people have just been sulking in the shadows as opposed to you know, actually rallying any sort of attention to it, and the reason isn’t out of fear, but rather because they know that everything it is they’re saying is built on pure and complete bullshit and typical tropes used against Palestinians.
And frankly, it’s all bullshit. If there’s any proof or anyone who disagrees, please, please let me know.
There are people still around today who remember the entire ordeal and can vouch for it.
I still have the original posts on my old tumblr account that I can dig up and post here to further prove my points, but frankly, I don’t quite care enough to sift through them, and these pathetic scum are not worth it.
So I ask anyone who has been approached by any of these people, or anyone who has any questions they would like answers or clarified, please feel free to message me, and don’t fall for these same tropes lobbed by the Zionist crowds to silence Palestinian bloggers.
So if you’ve been messaged by thearcanetheory’s new blog or anyone else about me, take what they say with a grain of salt, and I would be more than happy to provide further explanation and contextualization of anything you may want to know.
Also consider this entire situation and frankly the age-old injustice of it: a bunch of liberal Zionists who consistently derail Palestinians’ posts make a racist, disgusting joke that they won’t back down from, and when they are criticized and called out for it by a Palestinian, they instead depict the Palestinian as the dangerous, abusive, scary person. So I’m the one who has to explain myself, even years later, and apologize. Because I’m the scary, evil Arab guy right.
