btw i am in complete agreement w this essay by mohamed al-kurd Jewish settlers stole my house. It’s not my fault they’re Jewish specifically when he talks about how anti-semitism is weaponized against palestinians and the minefield trap of navigating language around israel. but for allies, and particularly for allies in the west, you can and should use discretion to differentiate between "zionist claims of anti-semitism" and genuine antisemitism in your ranks. it's growing more and more difficult when institutions and governments are claiming "from the river to the sea" is an anti-semitic chant. its an agony to navigate when BDS is called "supporting terrorism." all of that is purely bullshit.

but it is doubly incumbent when there are white supremacists, assadists, and various other idiots infiltrating. it is patently obvious that evangelical christian extremists, the european and american far-right, the elon musks and the likes are antisemitic and pro-israel.

this is not the responsibility of palestinians and the palestinian cause. this does not and cannot affect the basic reality of settler colonialism and should be held very, very suspect if it is used to distract, downplay and excuse palestinian suffering and the ongoing genocide in gaza. i also do not entertain the notion that arabs, muslims or pro-palestinian activists are inherently more anti-semitic than any other demographic because this is also an explicitly political claim. but that is all one thing and inter-personal communication is another. there are many many jewish ppl marching in pro-palestine rallies worldwide and it is just basic courtesy to make sure they do not feel alienated by you, personally.

i want people to appreciate pigeons. not "ehehe skrunkly little trash gremlins. so adaptable and resilient". nothing wrong with that sentiment towards racccons and opossums, but when people do this about pigeons, it shows a fundamental misunderstanding about a pigeon's place in the world.

pigeons were beloved. they were pets, they were tools, they were food. we found use and pleasure in everything about them. then they became obsolete. then they stopped being popular. an animal that we have literally thousands of years of deep history with, completely discarded by mankind to the point most people are ignorant of their existence outside of "rats with wings".

Roshdi Sarraj, the photographer who took this widely shared picture of Israel's destruction of Gaza, was himself later killed by an Israeli airstrike.

I think nonstop photos of rubble create this unspoken attitude that Gaza (or Ramallah, or Baghdad, or Damascus, or...) is just a wasteland, that nothing of value exists there and nothing is really lost. That it was always rubble anyway. This is maybe the first photo I've seen of Gaza City showing that it's a real city worth calling home, and the destruction hits so much harder like this.
