Here is how 16-year-old Palestinian American Mohammed Ibrahim described watching Walid Ahmad die in front of him:

مرده تو بدرد کسی نمی‌خوره، درست، ولی مرده مردم داخل بدرد تو می‌خورد که با هزار ترفند «دستگاه سرکوب فروریخته» و... فریب‌شون دادی و فرستادیشون به قتلگاه سپاه تا بقول خودت #شهید_الکی بشن و از خون‌شون اعتبار بگیری و امروز روی خون‌شون اسکی بری

I grew up in Jewish Detroit. I've been to services at most of the Reform, Conservative & many Orthodox shuls in Detroit.
100% of them are Zionist. 100% of them raise an apartheid flag. They encourage their congregates to donate to Friends of the IDF so as to get a tax break for donating for genocide.
Nearly all of them say the "prayer for the state of Israel" during Shabbat morning services. jewishvirtuallibrary.org/pra…
Most of them say the "prayer for the soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces" during Shabbat morning services. masaisrael.org/resource/the-…
These actions do not just make th community morally bankrupt ... but they of course endanger members of the Jewish community as well.
You make not like the phrase "hurt people hurt people"... but hurt people do in fact hurt people and facts do not give a flying fuck about your fragile genocidal ego.
So when will leaders of Jewish Detroit speak up & bring an end to our community's role in the mass murder of the Palestinian & Lebanese people?
When will our leaders stop adorning their institutions with symbols that represent apartheid & genocide to the vast majority of the world?
End this maddness.

اینکه بنیادی در آلمان که پیشتر نسخه فدرالیسم برای ایران پیچیده و وابسته به حزبی است که در پارلمان فدرال آلمان حتی یک کرسی هم نداره، جایزه‌ای برای ملت ایران صادر کنه و به امانت به آخرین وارث ذکور یک خانواده امانت‌ندار بده، همانقدر مهم و موثره که گفتگوی او با وارث تقلبی هیتلر بود!

Ecology in Wynter: the world between plot and plantation
A little piece I wrote ages ago on Sylvia Wynter's ecology which has been stuck in the academic ether for a while - I hope it's useful to someone somewhere 🌱

They're now working as UDP because AIPAC has become toxic for congress members.

Don’t care what any centrist says about Abdul’s win, especially not ones outside Michigan. Don’t talk about it if you didn’t get mailers like this daily. The ads on tv were so racist that my 3-year-old could tell and asked why they were so scary. Can’t tell me that didn’t matter.

Haley Stevens: "I have stood with the Jewish community when it was easy and when it was hard, and I am not going to stop now."
Me: 60% of Jewish voters in Michigan voted for El Sayed.
What she calls "the Jewish community" doesn't exist. It is a concept used to manipulate us. We fiercely disagree and oppose each other. That's not a community. But that's how it is.
Haley Stevens and others like her are obsessed with fantasy Jews and don't see the real ones all around them, such as former U.S. Rep. Andy Levin who she took millions in AIPAC money to kick out of Congress.

There is literally no issue in American politics other than Israel that creates situations like this.
Keep it in mind the next time someone accuses you of hypocritically singling out Israel for criticism. Remember this unique lunacy.

کینگ‌میکر در روز تولد کینگ رضا پهلوی عکسی را انتخاب کرده که خودش، قاسمی‌نژاد، سوژه‌ی اصلی و واضح آن است، و شاه سوژه محو. ای بختت ایرانی که نه از شاه شانس داری و نه از شاه‌ساز.
امروز زادروز مردیست که امید یک ملت برای رسیدن به آزادی، دموکراسی، شکوه، احترام، و رفاه است.
ما با چشمان خود دیده‌ایم و با تن و جان خود چشیده‌ایم که پشت شاه را خالی کردن و کنار ارتجاع سرخ و سیاه ایستادن چگونه درهای جهنم را به روی ایران باز کرد و ترسناک‌ترین هیولاها را بر ایرانیان حاکم کرد.
ما این بار کنار آخرین پر سیمرغ ایران ایستاده‌ایم، تا آخرین نفسی که داریم پشت او را خالی نخواهیم کرد، و تن خالی از جانمان هم کنار دشمنان ایران نخواهد ایستاد.

We were nearly killed two days ago.
Settler-terrorist Tomer Liani bashed my head against the ground repeatedly, then the IDF and police blocked the ambulances and prevented hospitalisation.
All because we caught the settlers locking locking a gate to more than 20 Palestinian communities, trapping entire families.
We exposed Tomer Liani, Shimon Atia and Nevo Nadalski directly committing crimes against humanity in Masafer Yatta, and we were punished by the Israeli police and court for this.
Israeli state terrorism in the West Bank is at its peak, and the authorities are doing everything to keep Palestinian voices silent.

Hi, I'm free.
Beat up but fine. Police stole my phone. Settlers punched me in the face several times, likely broke @AdeleShoko's wrist and gave @the_andrey_x a concussion. They threatened to shoot us with an assault rifle over and over.
Will tell the full story later, but for now, I just want to be clear about what happened. We witnessed two settlers locking a military gate in Umm al-Khair, blocking the only way to more than twenty Palestinian communities: trapping families inside, preventing students from reaching school and workers from their jobs, blocking delivery of food and access to ambulances, etc.
It's a crime that the military has this ability at all--but last night, we discovered that random settler terrorists also have the key. We confronted them and began asking questions on camera, and they nearly murdered us for it. When the police finally arrived, they arrested Andrey and me and charged us with assault.
The gate is still locked.
