"For Asian Americans, the Oriental became a shadow to dispel, a double to destroy, a name to reject. But if Orientalism provided much of the intellectual energy that drove the growth of Asian American literature and culture, many of us forgot or overlooked that Said was Palestinian and claimed the Palestinian cause as his own."
Muslims were disinvited to a US Democratic campaign event. Not a good look. I wish we had other options for voting. These people want to do a genocide without people yelling at them i guess:(
Delegitimizing UNRWA was always the goal. One does not accidentally elicit random confessions under torture—the confessions you get are the confessions you set out to get.
Defunding UNRWA is precisely the politics of collective punishment. Even if these allegations are proven, there is no justification in this unless your goal is wiping out an entire people.

"Is US’s Suspension of UNRWA Funding Retaliation for ICJ’s Interim Ruling?"
Chicago City Council set to vote on ceasefire resolution despite multiple efforts to postpone
Chicago alderpeople have tried to postpone a city council vote on a Gaza ceasefire by citing proximity to International Holocaust Remembrance Day and even the upcoming Democratic National Convention. A vote is finally scheduled for this week.
These people are not giving up, sharing these ridiculous garbage photo ops and spreading it like it's the proof of Muslims and Jewish fighters praying at the same time while serving the Genocidal army of IDF.
I guess they are counting on their followers to be ignorant and stupid to not know that no Muslim EVER pray towards Mecca with their shoes on the prayer mat, with an exception when the person is badly injured in battle and unable to remove his shoes (or wash them before the prayers).
If a country can only create fake stories about beheaded babies, mass rape of female captives, murder of babies cut out of pregnant women's womb and thrown in fire, fake stories about tunnels, or computers, fake nurses and so on and so on, then they really have no legitimate case to stand on.
But for sure, the man who said he saw the pictures of beheaded Israeli children, didn't hesitate to believe in Israeli reports about #Hamas infiltrated #UNRWA and ordered to cut the lifeline of millions of innocent civilians.
We really living in a bizarre world, self inflicted ignorance and joyfully supporting an ongoing genocide is wide spread.
FYI:. I am anti theist, grew up in Muslim Iran, but chose to become a humanist with respect of religion as a personal matter, but fighting it if becomes an institution enforcing its laws on others.
"A mass burial was held in Rafah for dozens of Palestinians whose remains were returned to Gaza by Israel. Although relatives of missing family arrived at the grave site, a proper burial was not possible for the dead as their bodies cannot be identified."
Standing Together @omdimbeyachad statement composed by members of the Palestinian Leadership of the movement, in response to the BDS movement accusing them of "Serving Apartheid Israel’s Propaganda".
Palestinians found 30 bodies buried under the sand in black plastic bags after the Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the Khalifa bin Zayed school in Beit Lahiya, north of the #Gaza Strip.
Remember the level of outrage when Ukrainian forces found #MassGraves of their soldiers with their dog tags hanging on wooden crosses to make it possible to identify them?
The western hypocrites were calling it war crime, but not a single freaking western leader or media is even talking about these atrocities.
I'm getting physically sick of these disgusting crimes going unnoticed, tolerated and even supported.
Sameh Jindiyya’s daughter was born nine days ago in Al-Shifa hospital. Ever since he has been frantically searching for food for his nursing wife. “This is how we’re born in Gaza,” he tells Mondoweiss. “We are born with death hovering over us.”
A teenage girl sits next to the dead bodies of her three siblings and cousins - just three of more than 13000 young human beings (not Hamas members) murdered by #netanyahu 's #israel , its' complicit supporters and silent enablers who did not call for a #ceasefire .

#israel / Ministers From Netanyahu's Party Join Thousands of Israelis at 'Resettle Gaza' Conference
[…] During the conference, participants were presented with details of Jewish settlements, maps, and the stages of preparation, along with calls for decision-makers to acknowledge that a war victory can only be claimed through the Jewish resettling of the Gaza Strip.
“Our position has not changed on recognition of a Palestinian state: We would do so at a time that best serves the cause of peace, […] The U.K. for its part, and I think along with its allies, continues to believe that a two-state solution protects the peace and security of both Israelis and Palestinians.”
