As A Jew, Telling Us That We Shouldn't Expect You To Stand For Us And Condemn Hamas While Also Expecting

As a Jew, telling us that we shouldn't expect you to stand for us and condemn Hamas while also expecting us to stand for you and fight against Israeli apartheid is gross. We should be standing for each other.

And don't whine about 'transactional activism.' I have no reason to support you if you want me dead or at the very least powerless and silent.

to be clear, i have no opinion on what you want as a jew. hamas also has no interest in you as a jew. hamas is explicitly an islamist, militant liberation movement that is borne of and focused on the israeli occupation. broadening it to "jews" is israeli propaganda, which has consistently declared all jewish people the enemy when hamas has not, and held palestinians responsible for (very real) global anti-semitism when they are not. the issues of global anti-semitism and jewish safety are the responsibility of their respective european, north american, african and asian governments. they do not rest on palestinians, the victims of zionist ethnic supremacy.

but if you are an israeli jewish citizen who supports the occupation and the idf that is currently enacting a genocide, then you have no right at all to demand anything of palestinians nor their allies. you have missed the entire point of saying "palestinians understand that condemning hamas is a dogwhistle for justifying their own death" and are attempting to imply that palestinians and israelis are equal parties who just don't get along. you are also (incorrectly) equating not condemning hamas to supporting violence. you are attempting to imply that ending israeli apartheid is a favor to us, when it is in fact the only way to end hamas. it is for your own good before it is for ours, because i don't think you as a human being should believe that only a genocial, fascist, apartheid regime can keep you safe.

this is not about transactional activism and the fact that you think an occupation can be reduced to transactional activism is worrying. your apartheid regime has just killed over 8700 people, including 3000 children. take some responsibility for yourself and time to reflect. you do not have the currency to ask for transactional activism.

Please please please I know we all love Friends and Chandler was our favourite character and Matthew always put a smile on our faces and that’s all amazing but can we please please please talk about this:

“I've had a lot of ups and downs in my life. I'm still working through it personally, but the best thing about me is that if an alcoholic or drug addict comes up to me and says, 'Will you help me?' I will always say, 'Yes, I know how to do that. I will do that for you, even if I can't always do it for myself! So I do that, whenever I can. In groups, or one on one.

And I created the Perry House in Malibu, a sober-living facility for men. I also wrote my play The End of Longing, which is a personal message to the world, an exaggerated form of me as a drunk. I had something important to say to people like me, and to people who love people like me.

When I die, I know people will talk about Friends, Friends, Friends. And I'm glad of that, happy l've done some solid work as an actor, as well as given people multiple chances to make fun of my struggles on the world wide web...

but when I die, as far as my so-called accomplishments go, it would be nice if Friends were listed far behind the things I did to try to help other people.

I know it won't happen, but it would be nice.”

- Matthew Langford Perry

Two sides of INTJ

INTJ: *wanders around city in the night while dreaming about living the life they read in books, lays on sofa with candles all around and theater music on, stares at a painting for ages because it reminds then of something important*

Also INTJ: *has their life in an excel sheet, knows when dreams are too crazy and scale then down into achievable format, and wants to make sense all the time*

I know I'm a bit late to saying this but frankly if I found out a secret society of magic-users were just playing nonsense sports and making up slurs for the rest of us instead of helping us out with famines or leukemia I think I'd apply for a job with my local witch hunters

Why the heck did I give this post a like?? This is awful and making me really sad :( 

Just thinking about how Dexter is completely alone and everyone he loves is dead and knowing Landy he's probably going to die soon and if he does it'll probably be for a pointless reason

Shameless self promotion, but I´m about 50k words deep into a (German, sorry to all of you British folks) story about what could have happened if Valkyrie and Skulduggery had joined Dexter´s team during TM7... the main POVs are Dexter´s, Val´s and Saracen´s and the focus is on the mission as well as on the characters´ feelings / relationships.
