Please reblog! Likes don't help, reblogs spread the word.
There is something I've been wanting to say, because the Zionists in my reblogs keep complicating things. I don't need a PhD in history or to recognize that ethnically cleansing Palestinians is wrong, or that the colonization of Palestinian lands and changing the names of cities -even if the current names are Hebrew not Arabic- is wrong. I don't need a degree to recognize that carpet bombing civilians including men, women, and children is wrong. I don't need a degree to understand that bombing ambulances is wrong. I don't need a degree to understand that bombing hospitals is wrong. I don't need a degree to understand that Israel is a mere colony built on Palestinian blood and stolen land, and exploits the suffering of Jews to justify its crimes and its illegitimate existence. Stop trying to make it sound "complex" by telling me things like "you're not educated enough to speak". I don't think I need a degree to understand that a father or a mother carrying the dead bodies of their own children on camera for the world to see and for the world leaders to stop this madness is wrong. What I think is wrong, is harassing pro-Palestinians on social media and trying to make them assume things are too complex. Nothing's complex about ethnic cleansing.
You don't need to be some expert to say stop killing innocent Palestinians!

Global strike on the 15th!! Called upon by a Palestinian. This is legit, and they are giving us PLENTY of time to spread the word. This isnโt sudden.
Unfortunately my parents are zionists. I do not think Iโll be able to protest irl. But if you can, DO. And if youโre like me, speak out online and share and spread resources like your life depends on it, because the lives of Palestinians depend on it!
