Just Wondering Why You Hate Israel So Much. Do You Not Think Israel Has The Right To Exist?

Just wondering why you hate Israel so much. Do you not think Israel has the right to exist?

You’re wondering why I hate a settler-colonial state that is ethnically cleansing a group of people through violence and a racist legal system? Would you like me to apologize for not being ethically/morally bankrupt? Would you like to ask me why I’m against war crimes and human right violations too?

"Does Israel have the right to exist?” is an intentionally vague and tricky question. The full question is:

“Does Israel have the right to exist at the cost of Palestinian lives” and the answer is NO

Israel does not have the right to ethnic cleansing, settler-colonial displacement, discriminatory legislation, human rights violations, and war crimes.

I refuse to call it a conflict. I refuse to let you name it as if it were just a disagreement between two people. Israel is occupying a foreign territory and terrorising its people since 1948. Israel is an apartheid « state » built on stolen land. It is more than a conflict, it is a genocide of the Palestinian people that is still going on to this day. Israel is carrying out ethnic cleansing for the sole purpose of promoting Zionism— a racist and supremacist ideology.

Since western media sucks and literally no one is talking about this, please reblog if you see this!!!

The IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) are forcibly removing Palestinians from their home in Sheikh Jarrah, a neighbourhood in Eastern Jerusalem, and giving them to Jewish settlers. This is not only supported by the government, but was ordered by it in accordance to a law claiming that these houses belong to Jews and they have a right to them. Once these Palestinian families are removed from their houses, they will become homeless. 

I have never disagreed with the Jewish right of self-determination and think that they deserve to have a state where they are safe from anti-Semitism, but when it comes at the expense of other people, MY PEOPLE, it is unjustifiable. When you are forcing people out of their home, a home which they have been living in since before Israel was even established, claiming you have a right for that house, that is just disgusting. When I am made to feel like a stranger in my own home, excluded and treated as a fifth rate citizen, that is unacceptable. 

 Also, this is happening just a week after the “Death to Arabs” protests by Jewish extremists in Jerusalem. 

no because fuck mainstream media and fuck the blissful ignorance so many people are choosing to live in. recognize that there are people who have been suffering for years. you don’t have to carry that burden but acknowledge them like you acknowledge any other nation. because when the US goes through something, the whole world is expected to care and if you don’t talk about it, you’re immediately a POS who is racist and sexist and a list of other awful things. a majority of the people saying those things wouldn’t be able to find my country on a map.

palestine needs your attention. palestine needs your prayers. palestine needs your help. if you ignore this any longer you will live knowing you essentially ignored the ethnic cleansing of what was once a great country. do not let history repeat itself in a new form. i urge you all to look up what is happening in sheikh jarrah. all you are 100% obligated to do is simply recognize the issue and make it more public so that maybe someone with more power can step up. please.
