“To question why the Palestinians have ‘rejected’ compromise is to look at the region’s past and present from a particularly skewed perspective. Palestine has been wiped off the map, its land colonised and its people ethnically cleansed. Expecting those on the receiving end to be satisfied with the crumbs from the table is both unjust – and wishful thinking.”
— Ben White, Israeli Apartheid: A Beginner’s Guide
“Solidarity is not the same as support. To experience solidarity, we must have a community of interests, shared beliefs and goals around which to unite, to build Sisterhood. Support can be occasional. It can be given and just as easily withdrawn. Solidarity requires sustained, ongoing commitment.”
— Bell Hooks (via theproblackgirl)
I feel so privileged I get to live this life, however painful or beautiful it may be.

Hope people use this time to check themselves on their internalized Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism— especially if you’re American or European. It is not “normal” for the Middle East to be “constantly at war”. Muslims are not more inclined to violence and “barbarism”.
The state of the region is the product of decades of colonialism, exploitation, and racism in play. The word “Middle East” itself stems from those very same things.
We cannot shame ourselves into change, we can only love ourselves into evolution.
