They still using this shit-ass talking point even if it has been refuted a million times?

Even if you wanna argue for this point, Palestinians are an arabized people who are descendants of the ancient Levantines. They have a history tracing back before Islam and Christianity. In fact, Palestinian Christians and Palestinian Samaritans make up one of the oldest communities who have had a continuous presence in the Holy Land. Furthermore, with the Arab expansion following the Prophet's (pbuh&hf) death, the people in the Holy Land were Arabized, and many of them adopted Arab culture. Converting to Islam or being Arabized does not erase your indigeneity. The fact is that they intermingled with the local Christian, Jewish, and Samaritan population due to the lax inter-faith marriage traditions in Islam, this is why Palestinians can trace their lineage back to the ancient Israelites.

Like no matter how much wanna argue, this is such an asinine point.

Additionally the Ancient Israelites were not the first inhabitants. Like the Romans they were an empire that established on the location. We trace our lineage even further back to Ancient Canaan.

As Nur Masalha discusses in his “Palestine: A Four Thousand Year History”, the identity and cultures of Palestine are living organisms: they change, evolve and develop.

People in the comments: please stop talking about how "it's not relevant" that part of the zionist narrative steals our history to excuse itself of colonization. It very much is part of the pattern that allows zionists to claim land and enforce occupation — "archeology" that is manipulated and falsified manufactures much of the consent you see for violence. Academia, as I mention multiple times, enforces colonization and the theft of culture and history is how zionists rewrite history to erase our ties to the land.

"people in real life: hey man how's it going" is a killer phrase. instantly neutralizes whatever insane discourse you find online. gonna start using that from now on

Had the funniest experience earlier of my swiftie coworker putting the new white girl breakup songs™️ album on the speaker at work and the moment she left the room long enough for her phone to disconnect from Bluetooth our older coworker immediately put on 10 hours of relaxing tibetan flute music instead and we all collectively sighed in relief

this is like the democrat version of when republicans see a long line at the food pantry and are like "this is what america would look like under communism"

it should be mentioned Professor Samer Alatout is Palestinian

there is a non-insignificant amount of “leftists” on the tweet app who are mad that the disciplined, principled, and organized student encampments have rules against recreational drug usage and sex, accusing them of “gatekeeping” 🤓☝️ and “puritanism” 🤓☝️ like little freaky ass 69 gods. this is the absolute state of western individualist hedonism. this is what happens when you go decades without organizing and have no recent example of what a successful, pointed attempt at agitation is like, so you think everything should be a hippie gathering like burning man, instead of something like the BPP, who had similar regulations and advanced many of their goals. if you want to assert your (anarchists i have no smoke for you but please close your ears) AUTHORITY over an institution that is controlled by the ruling class, forcing them to divest from a genocidal entity, you must have some amount of discipline and attempt to keep behavior that could result in petty interpersonal conflict to an absolute minimum. you must have focus. it’s not a cookout or a party. this isn’t supposed to be fun…these kids are organizing against the intellectual arm of the ruling class. every day i become more third worldist. 😭

tell me about it

Pour one out for a real one.

Reading up on him, he was a pretty cool guy. He was one of the first people to stand up to John Money about his theories of gender development and position that intersex infants should receive surgery and never be told about it using his abuse of David Reimer as ‘proof’, asserting that Money didn’t have the evidence and standing his ground even when Money straight up started screaming at him. And then later he was proven right when he got into contact with David Reimer, not only discovering proof that Money was wrong but also how abusive and horrific Money had been. He then went on to write advocating for intersex and trans rights and to avoid unnecessary procedures on intersex people without full informed consent and that intersex people are part of natural human variation and that we deserve acceptance and not to be treated like a disorder.

A quote I really like from him: ‘Nature loves diversity, society hates it’

BDS added this section to their boycott page and I think people really need to read it:

please remember, pushing unorganized boycotts without carefully fact-checking every company in the list can be actively HARMFUL to the boycott movement.

hope you don't mind me adding: here's a list from the website about which companies to target our boycotts at right now:
