If you refer to Palestinians in Israel as "Arabs", you are helping to promote Israel's narrative that we are a homogenous, interchangeable, monolithic people. It erases our identity and our history and ties to our land.

Palestinian citizens of Israel are still Palestinian.

With this in mind, you'll start to notice that Israel will always refer to us as Arabs when discussing anything about Palestinian life in Israel, how "inclusive" they are, how "good the Arabs have it" and suddenly call us Palestinian when speaking about "terrorism" and "violence".

They only bring up our identity to conflate us with terror and promote the narrative that we are an inherently violent, antisemitic people. It is all part of their campaign to erase us.

Don't fall for it. Don't propogate it. Call it out when you see it.

I don’t seen nearly enough mention of the Negroponte Doctrine, the doctrine by which the US bases how it frames its support for Israel on. It’s a doctrine that, when you finally learn about it, you will see /everywhere/ you hear any US official speaking on Israel.

The Negroponte Doctrine states that for the US to -NOT- immediately veto any UN resolution against Israel, it must contain each of the following:

A strong and explicit condemnation of all terrorism and incitement to terrorism;

A condemnation by name of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, Islamic Jihad and Hamas

An appeal to all parties for a political settlement of the crisis;

A demand for improvement of the security situation as a condition for any call for a withdrawal of Israeli armed forces to positions they held before the September 2000 start of the Second intifada.

So when you see US officials refusing to outright condemn Israel, or always bringing up Hamas or w/e in response to ANY serious questions about Israel, there you go. This is their literal rulebook.

Okay, no, you know what. This is not good enough. I’ll tell you why.

Your country is at war because your country’s military has chosen to colonize Palestine. Your country is at war because your country’s police (funded and trained by the American taxes you pay) has been brutalizing Palestinian people, including children, most recently on the most holy night of the most holy month for Muslims at one of the most sacred sites in the Islamic faith. your country is at war because it is trying to uproot, remove, and cleanse Palestinian land of Palestinians. 

This vicious cycle began when the British gave up their mandate on the Israel-Palestine region in 1947 and handed the problem to the United Nations, who proposed the original two-state solution, which, now that I’m looking at that map, does not seem unreasonable. The Jewish Palestinian leadership at the time agreed. Yes, later the armies of the surrounding Arab nations invaded the region but, they were unsuccessful in their efforts to reclaim the land that is today known as Israel, because by the end of the 1987 war with Egypt, borders had been drawn that, again, allowed for Palestinian sovereignty over the West Bank and the Gaza strip. 

The problem began after Egypt and Jordan recognized Israel and its borders. That, Ms. Gadot, is when your people, massively aided by Americans, started occupying The West Bank. Today, it is no longer a Palestinian territory. Palestine is, technically speaking, considered a de jure sovereign state. Do you know what that means? It means it is considered a state presiding over territory that it does not actually have jurisdiction over. That’s what your people have made of the West Bank.

I am genuinely livid seeing that you are trying to reaffirm that “Israel deserves to live as a free and safe nation,” as if it needs reaffirming. Israel is so free a nation that it has been displacing, brutalizing and slaughtering Palestinians in their own home for decades, and it is so safe that it is capable of doing so and continuing to do so without consequences because of its Western alliances, who, for all their talk of a two-state solution, do not even recognize Palestine because it would violate their diplomatic agreements with Israel. Israel is the warden, not the inmate. It is free as a bird, and safer than you are, coddled by the wealth you have earned in the country that funds Israel’s success in ethnic cleansing.

As for your leaders, I have little to say except that you of all people need not worry. It is not your interests they are going against. It is not your people they will continue to kill. It not your nation that has crumbled like dust, and is burning while the world watches, uncaring. Your leaders are with you, and your peace is promised.

As of twelve hours ago!

Stand with Palestine!

End the occupation!

End apartheid!

Free Palestine🇵🇸✌️

Footage of Israeli forces throwing grenades on ambulances and medical staff trying to help those injured. This is a violation of international law. The medical staff waists to treat those in need. And as usual, they are targeting them.

Israeli occupation forces shot a young Palestinian man at the Shuhada Street military checkpoint in Hebron. The same forces are seen taking him away.

Israeli settlers attacked a mosque in the occupied city of Lod and Palestinians gather to defend it.

Footage of the collapse of the 16-story Al Shorouk tower in Gaza after Israeli air strikes. The residential building also housed local and foreign media outlets.

The hypocrisy of Israel is unbelievable. Some may have seen the video of the rocks being thrown at an Israeli car and idf solider protecting the man. Versus Israeli settlers attacking a Palestinian car in the occupied city of Tiberias and chant for the death of Arabs.
