i dont think there is a word yet that can describe how absolutely vile israel is. they killed thirsty children by targeting a water tank.

how inhumane do you have to be to support this, to fund this, to excuse this, to ignore this and pretend as if it isn’t going on?

If anyones interested in learning about the first black vampire short story, published in 1819, heres a link to the wiki, its called The Black Vampyre, and its about a former slave turned vampire who seeks revenge on his slave master. Its actually a first in many categories!

you can read the story itself here

Not only is it the first Black vampire story, it's the first comedic vampire story, the first story to include a mixed race vampire, the first vampire story by an American author, and probably the first anti-slavery short story. Some scholars believe that the text was written in response to John William Polidori's The Vampyre.

Me: portraying Hamas as unreasonable and subhuman only suits to serve Israel and justify ethnic cleansing. We must deconstruct how they are portrayed and while not excusing what they’ve done, understanding them beyond the label of terrorist, which is wildly racialized and has been used to malign several freedom fighters who are working toward decolonization/liberation, is vital to understanding their political aims. What if we held the same nuance for them? Why is Israel allowed to brutalize and maim civilians but aren’t labeled terrorists? Why is colonial violence so justified that the violence from occupied people is never understood to be a necessary means of resistance. How can we challenge the narratives we hold that continuously paints a resistance group as subhuman stupid animals that must be wiped off the face of the planet. The best way to end the violence of Hamas is to end the violence of settler colonialism.

Smart people with the best reading comprehension: okay but they are terrorists though?? Do you condemn them?

IOF just executed one of their own because they thought he was Palestinian. How is this not terrorism? How is this not a death cult, fueled by hate and fear? How is this not the violence of empire where no one would bat an eye if he was REALLY Palestinian and killed because that is routine. That is the norm.
