What a beautiful statement of solidarity as we're seeing a world sanctioned genocide of 1.1M people being announced, live streamed, cheered and actively supported by all powerful countries and institutions and mostly black and brown students standing against it being harassed, doxxed and threatened.

We are seeing so many people tweet their goodbye's but the words of this 27 year old Gazan will definitely haunt me: "I do not forgive the world from East to West for what will happen to us, and I hope our pictures will haunt you until the end of your life."
@timnitGebru oh, some pictures [made by palestinians] from the recent days will indeed haunt those mourning, not cheering until the end of their lives.
The ones with beheaded Jewish children, mostly.
There is no collective responsibility, but there is war, started with no declaration by the palestinian combatants on the ground, the sea, and the air. Also televised, mind you.
@ladybuginthemug@infosec.exchange btw, if you read the JSLA statement, please be aware that there's a ton of disinfo there. For example what they refer to the "massacre of a peaceful demonstration" is prevention of the hamas provocations at the border. Here's what hamas themselves were saying about it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11JEQGjFly6FNZVFJC-S2uxA9T0RYDTH5/view?usp=sharing
Opposing Israel in this particular conflict, past Oct 7th, is opposing the right to defend, siding with iran and russia. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm puzzled by yours on this topic.
Nobody has to be a fan of Israel to support their retaliation against hamas. Just like there are many people who weren't fans of Ukraine who are now ready to fight, volunteer, etc. for it. Win the war first, figure out the "whatabouts" later.
Jews taught me that my country has no right to exist, that I have to open the borders to everyone on Earth, and if a brown person wants to kill me I have to just roll over and die. But I'm supposed to feel bad when those same standards get applied to Israel for once?
@jonn How much does Israel pay you?
