The psychological projection of Zionists

I'm starting to see some people in the spiritual truth movement start to engage a little bit more with the genocide of Gaza, eight months in now that it's starting to pick up speed and also that so many people are deciding to just turn their attention completely away from anyone who's been silent.

 And I'm starting to see why people stayed silent for so long because people are coming out with some shockers.  Some really ignorant things, and when you hear some of these things it just makes me think ‘oh you really should have stayed silent’, or least done a little bit of research into the issue before you spoke.  Perhaps listened to Palestinian voices or even just journalists who are well-versed with the Israel-Palestine issue like Abby Martin, Norman Finkelstein, Ilan Pappé, etc.  

 So I had a conversation yesterday with somebody in the spiritual/truth community, which has sadly just been a complete and utter disappointment for the last eight months, I have to say.  I’ve decided to crop his name out because this is not really about him, I don't want people to go and shame him.  He did reveal himself to be a liberal Zionist of sorts, although one that seems to be slowly deconstructing that world-view. 

 So you may already know that I don't suffer fools gladly, nor do I take kindly to people sliding into my DMs trying to police my content or my expression, especially the kind of people who are just do-nothing losers who've literally not said anything about the whole issue, they're not engaged with the issue, they're not talking about the issue, they're not at the center of the movement.  They're not well-versed with the issue so literally how dare you slide into my DMs and police my content and my expression?

 If I want your opinion, I would ask for it.  So I was pretty fierce with him, but let's talk about the point that he brought up during the conversation where he claimed that calling for the dismantling of the settler-colonial Zionist entity that  illegally occupies historic Palestine is calling for genocide.  And saying it's the same as calling for the destruction of Palestine.  There's so much wrong with this and it’s always the people that are doing the least that have the most to say about how you conduct yourself if you are a person that's speaking up and actively engaged um but never mind the fact thathe tells me that ‘he feels my heart’ but has been pretty much silent about an actual real genocide that's happening but he wants to prevent another genocide, an imaginary genocide that thinks will happen as a result of my words.

 Never mind the fact we keep on being told that our words aren't doing anything and our posts aren't doing anything and that we're not really helping.  But if we call for dismantling of Zionism, that's dangerous and that's going to cause genocide.  Never mind the actual genocide that's happening, they won't say anything about that but they must prevent the actual proper genocide of the Jewish people.

 Calling for the dismantling of the Zionist entity is not calling for genocide.  I also don’t really appreciate people asking me to do emotional labor when the information is out there, there's people posting about it all day long on Tik Tok, on Instagram, on YouTube, there's books on the subject, there's articles.  How dare you slide into my DMs and ask me to explain what a one state solution is?

 What land back means?  Land back means returning the sovereignty of the land to the indigenous people and allowing them self-determination in their ancestral homeland.  It means allowing the right of return to the diaspora who were thrown out of their houses, or their grandparents were thrown out of their houses.  It means reparations.  It means apologies.  Acknowledgment of the atrocities that were committed.  It means talking about it in history books. 

 It means a lot of things.  But it does not mean genocide of the people that are already living there.  It does mean atonement for those who are guilty of war crimes.  All people guilty of war crimes need to be in jail, as stipulated in international law.  This is not rocket science, guys.

 How dare you project genocidal intent onto Palestinians and onto the anti-genocide movement when clearly quite obviously the opposite is happening?  The evidence is clearly and plainly available to all.

How dare you invert the facts in this way?

And for those of you who are supporting, please continue to support Muhammad's campaign.  So far we've only raised enough to evacuate his wife and ideally we'd like to evacuate his whole family.

 You can donate via this link and if you can’t afford to donate at this time, you can really help us by sharing the fundraiser.
