This Muslim sister is standing up against LGBT activists who are trying to indoctrinate children with the LGBT ideology at schools in Canada.
She is heard saying: "My daughter is a girl, my son is a boy"
A disturbing thing about popular understanding of the Holocaust is viewing it as a purely German affair. In reality it was a European affair, a continent-wide crime where the Germans would not have had a fraction of their "success" without hordes of willing European collaborators
Putin just celebrated in his speech the USSR defeating Nazi Germany then condemned the West for the Allied bombing of Dresden, which the Soviets requested to begin with
Incredible
The funniest thing about the zionist obsession with the Mufti is besides the fact that no one liked him at the time (the secretary of the Arab League promised to strangle him if the Arabs won in 1948), today the average Arab hasn't even ever heard of him
Two peas in a pod: reactionary nationalists who collaborated with the Axis powers in the hope of getting an independent state out of it. Yet, still retain a cult of personality as nationalist heroes within significant parts of their respective nations & its 'official' mythology.

She can could have gone to the Gulf, high standard of living and conservative. If she is born there she can leave to another country that shares her values.
Also, Muslims started that rally, and then the far-right joined in, which is absurd because Muslims are next on their list

Homophobia isn't a culture and I can't wait for your "country" (in actuality an overglorified tiny patch of feudal property) to start begging for scraps when your oil wells dry up
As a Qatari I’m proud of what happened.
I don’t know when will the westerners realize that their values aren’t universal. There are other cultures with different values that should be equally respected.
Let’s not forget that the West is not the spokesperson for humanity.
@SocialistAlexCA
No one claimed that, but there are other countries with great standards of living that also share her values, like the Gulf. The guy is yelling at her in French "I had to flee my country bec of people like you". No excuse for going there & making minorities feel unsafe
There is literally not 1 single reason not to unequivocally and unconditionally support the protests in Iran. It's the most black & white issue ever. If you disagree, you're simply a bad person
This view is particularly harmful because it shifts responsibility and we end up viewing the Holocaust as some peculiar German industrial death machine, instead of what it was: An entire continent drunk on genocidal racism, filled with savage hatred towards the Other
It's so bizzare how if someone is racist or antisemitic or whatever it's recognized the racist undercurrents in society enabled them to hold such views but if you're violently misogynistic it's because evil women are being mean to you and you need to be treated with compassion🥺
The reason young men flock to alt right MRA movements is because the left gives brain-dead advice to young men. We need to be more compassionate to them, for our own sake.
You'd think if Ukraine was supposedly such a Nazi country the far-right would fervently support it, and yet every single far-right party in Europe, from AFD down to the most tiny niche schizo white supremacist filth have proudly taken Russia's side
Uncomfortable forgotten fact is the IDF in '48, the Nakba IDF, had massive amounts of Holocaust survivors. They were there because when they attempted to return home in Europe they were pogromed by Europeans. They were left to languish in DP camps because Europeans were so filled
& honeslty I find it very risible to see Europeans join hands with Zionist Jews in demonizing Arab immigrants bec "Haha! We are SO against antisemitism!" when the only reason this Jew is a zionist is because your ancestors tried to murder him in 1946 when he wanted to return home
with hatred, even after WW2, that they STILL refused to resettle their Jewish citizens. So is it any wonder that Europe once again finds itself in the midst of resurgent far-right populism, xenophobia, & venomous hatred of immigrants when they didn't confront a similar past?
I hope you know that some of us are not only poor, but from third world countries where the prices of books imported from American publishing houses is astronomically expensive, but okay
I love how on twitter it might seem like being anti Assad and pro Palestine is like two different camps but it's the standard average Arab positon in the Arab World
Friendly reminder to amplify your Palestinian brothers & sisters & stop promoting Jackson Hinkle. I don’t care if he was gifted a copy of the Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ autobiography. The guy is making a profit off our brother & sisters blood & calls Assad a hero. He can eat glass.
21,000 likes it's so over.
Do you morons not know there's no Apartheid in South Africa anymore? Mandela came to power, there was Reconciliation, ANC rules now(for decades). Did you sleep during history class?
Also, most South African Jews resisted Apartheid, even violently
People born in democratic developed countries, even ones with lower standard of living, will never understand the hell others go through to immigrate to a country that isn't a poverty-stricken police state & still be viewed as a dangerous foreigner who'll *never* be accepted
🧵Thread on Jewish Holocaust Survivors and Rabbis in Ukraine denouncing the propaganda of Ukraine being a Nazi country, supporting the war effort, and accusing Russia of acting like Nazis
So a war criminal easily gets asylum but atheists fleeing Islamic countries get rejected, gay people from homophobic countries have to jump through hoops, and Syrians and Afghan refugees get detained in camps. Okay.
@TSSalamander
Absolutely not, the Sauds have no relations to Muhammed. Arabs existed long before Muhammed. In fact as the historian Tim Mackintosh Smith notes Muhammed appeared in the middle of Arab history. Rather all (peninsula) Arabs trace bloodline to the mythical Ishmael
I love how America pathetically bends over backwards to enable the crimes of this shitty blood-stained monarchy only for the Saudis to give them the middle finger whenever the US wants their geopolitical backing on something
Uh, you killed a female journalist, vehemently denied you did it, assaulted people at her funeral, then finally admitted you did it but won't punish anyone
Fascinating to think about how Christinaity became regarded as a "Western" faith because of the Muslim Conquest. The Levant and North Africa getting cut off from the Christian World permanently, thus Europe becoming a Christian enclave, really changed world history massively
Girl you're literally Coptic, in Egypt Christians are lynched in riots at worst and discriminated against/treated with contempt at best, but you think some pro-abortion graffiti you found on the internet is oppression? Get a grip. Also, the West is SECULAR.
Your bio says "activist against Islamophobia". So genuine question, if you can't bring yourself not to be homophobic, by what right exactly do you ask others not to be islamophobic against you?
Ramadan is soon & I'll once again be forced to not drink water and starve myself for a religion I don't believe in, enough motivation for me to work as inhumanly hard as possible to be out of Egypt before next year's Ramadan because I'm not doing this fucking bullshit ever again
Aside from the sexual aspect, I always found it surprising how women don't really realize that no men want to be friends with women
Most men would far prefer hanging out with other men
Last time I asked a girl to hangout one-on-one in a non-sexual way was probably kindergarten
Just learned Spanish people have cocktails named "k-wording Jews" and "k-wording Moors" (we all know what that means) and they actually defend that stuff I think we need Al-Andalus back asap
Are we Arabs really going to do this again? Again we're going to harass and pogrom an innocent Jewish community in our country for the crimes of Israel, until they're forced to flee?
I just contacted two well-connected friends in Tunisia’s small Jewish community to inquire whether this tweet, about a synagogue attack there last night, was true.
Sadly, they said, it is.
The fire was set in protest against Israel last night at El Hamma synagogue near Gabes.
I implore everyone to not fall into stupid campist politics and stand with the PEOPLE facing occupation and repression whether Palestinian or Ukrainian. Israeli bombs aren't falling on Ismail Haniyeh and Russian bombs aren't falling on Zelensky
Ukraine ABSTAINED on the resolution calling for the protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations. Do well to remember that the next time they make the headlines.
Islamization of the 🇵🇸ian cause has been a disaster, so many conservative islamists have no idea that 🇵🇸ians are simply not as religious as they are. Leftist PLO led the resistance for decades & is still popular. Muslim Palestinians joined Christian Shireen's funeral rites
12,000 Palestinians fought against Hitler while your grandfather fought for him. The utter AUDACITY for Germans to think they have the moral high-ground because *checks notes* their grandfathers committed the Holocaust
@labsurde__
In contrast to your palestinian Hamas ISIS-SS Nazi-friends in Gaza I confronted myself with the crimes of my grandparents. My grandfathers were basically allies of the Mufti of Jerusalem, when the zionists fought in the british Army against Hitler. Which side are you on, then?
No Arab is going to take the West seriously after this hypocrisy ever again. This is what not sticking by principles gets you. If you're only going to denounce Hamas' war crimes and not Israel's, you've essentially told Arabs their lives are worth less than Israeli ones
From a recent poll by the Arab Barometer conducted in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank between 28 September and 8 October 2023:
70% of the Palestinians oppose Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

@arash_tehran
I have relatives who are exactly like her btw. Made the conscious choice to immigrate to Canada and are now throwing hissy fits over their children being taught gay people exist
FYI, the guy is yelling at her "I had to flee my country because of people like you"
We Arabs could have had millions of those Jews as our brothers and fellow citizens instead of millions of Ben-Gvirs had shitty fascist Arab dictatorships and monarchies not forcibly expelled them or persecuted them into fleeing
I wrote about the untold story of Arab Jews — and how they formed a solidarity movement with Palestinians, producing joint magazines, street protests, and a vision for peace.
You can't understand Israel-Palestine without understanding them. Please read!
My favorite thing is how the zionists who actually carried out The Nakba were pretty honest and didn't hide behind this "omg why are Palestinians upset with us what did we ever do them😭😭" façade zionists have today
(2nd quote is from Ben-Gurion himself)
The way Palestinians are so dehumanized in your mind as simply a bunch of bloodthirsty barbaric hordes would make an early 1900s British colonial officer blush
I don't understand why the left is so attached to the one state solution. Palestinians would butcher every single Jewish person if they had the chance.
Those losers always use an Eastern European country for this lame joke because they know they'll be called racist if they use another country. Just go back to silently watching Marvel movies please
Are you guys stupid the "semitic" classification is a 19th century European white supremacist race "science" bs and the word "antisemitism" refers to hatred of Jews and Jews only
Assad bombed Palestinians in the Yarmouk refugee Camp, and massacred them in Tadamon. He has Palestinian blood on his hands just like Israel. Burn in heII you diaspora bootIicker
@blakeflayton
You're an american jew who only speaks english. In typical out of touch American fashion, you literally moved to Israel and got shocked at how popular the right-wing is (and got lectured by your likudnik followers once you expressed that lmao)
The way many people are happy to cater to the feelings of religious zealots when it comes to Islam & enforce pseudo-blasphemy laws to appease them is sickening. At this point we need reddit atheism back
Posts about Islam on here are funny bec a gay exmuslim will complain about how Islam treats gay people/exmuslims so a bunch of ppl will go like "Islamophobia you don't know anything about Islam!!" but Muslim Twitter will find it & say "yes Islam murders apostates & gays we ❤️ it"
The seething Isreali hatred for Yasser Arafat is proof enough that laying down your weapon and wanting to make peace with them is still not enough in their eyes. It's either unconditional surrender and acceptance of ethnic subordination or nothing.
This is so insanely cruel, this person is literally saying she's feeling insecure and went to what she considers a safe place to feel better about herself. How many levels of disgusting do you have to be to share this and get thousands of people to mock her for no reason
You're written by Dostoevsky? So you're a caricature of socialism and liberalism written by an theocratic ultra-conservative Christian reactionary monarchist?
Absolutely fascinating to find men on tiktok tailoring their entire online persona as “Dostoevsky sadboy” to desperately chase the glut of Dostoevsky-posting literature egirls on this app.
@lilbabygandhi
You have a fascist government in power in your country pogroming Muslims & stripping their rights rn, where you get this audacity is beyond me. As an exmuslim Arab in a country where my beliefs can land me in jail I need you to shut up, don't use my oppression for your racism
A lot of secular Turks have this weird delusion that Arabs are turning Turkey religious and less secular, not that the majority of Turks are already religious conservatives. Arabs did not elect the AKP 7 times. Secular CHP never won a parliamentary majority in Turkey's history.
Honestly, "Indigenous" versus "colonizer" dichotomy when it comes to Jews and Palestinians (and other places tbh) is frankly useless. If Jews consider the Holy Land their home, then it is. They just had no right to ethnically cleanse another people who also consider it their home
She's getting rightfully dragged but this raises a point about antisemitism. She's having a cognitive breakdown because Jews don't fit into her "indigenous" versus "colonizer" dichotomy. She's not the first./c
Apparently Israel killing that Polish aid worker has turned the mood in Poland in favor of Palestine because look at the replies and quote tweets to the Israeli ambassador to Poland lol
Poland supporting Palestinian UN membership after 7.10 massacre is: 1. A dangerous precedent of rewarding the aggressor. 2. Continuing the 1988 Soviet-led anti-West decision of recognizing "Palestinian state". 3. Rewarding Iran & Hamas against US & Israel position. 4. Complete
This is terroristic religious fanaticism barely different from Al-Qaeda, tinged with ethnonationalist racial supermacy, but it won't evoke revulsion and horror in most of you because it isn't brown people doing it
When Bosniaks defended themselves against Serbian genocide & aggression they were slandered as extremist Islamists, and when Ukrainians are doing the same today they're being slandered as Nazis. It's the same playbook to dehumanize the person you're trying to kill.
The problem with things like "Oh but Ukraine should just give up Crimea for peace, they're never getting it back anyway" is you completely forget there are real people who actually live there, especially Muslim Tatars who the Russian government is imposing cultural genocide on
It's time to stop this fucking nonsense, not a single Palestinian faction, not Fatah, Hamas or the PIJ advocates for expulsion of Jews stop doing zionist propaganda for them. Also you are Iraqi, 600,000 Israelis today are descendants of Iraqi Jews Iraq persecuted into leaving
@notistotny
Slovakia and Romania literally started killing and deporting their own Jews without the Nazis even asking them too. Anyway you should read this
Being a nice person makes you more likable, but you're also not entitled to a woman for being nice. What's contradictory about this? This is why you're going to remain single forever
When this all over & we see the full scale of Russian atrocities, from turning Mariupol into rubble to forcible kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children, history is really never going to forgive all those who chose to look the other way and call Ukraine a Nazi country insted
