well said celine. It is utterly horrific, but it seems the current genocidal carnage and strategies being used currently could easily be implemented elsewhere, just as you said
There is supposedly a ceasefire. Palestinians are still being killed.
And as a Māwlānā — an Islamic scholar — I am fucking sick of the hypocrisy.
If your answer to Gaza is, ‘Trust in Allah and fight Israel yourselves’, then have the courage to live by your own words.
When your country is attacked, I will give you the same advice.
I will not hurt you. I will not hurt your children. But I will not rescue you either.
No money.
No fundraising.
No platform.
No sharing.
No mobilization.
Nothing.
And do not you dare come preaching ummah to me afterwards.
Allah commands us to stand firmly for justice, even when it is against ourselves or those closest to us (Qurʾān 4:135). He does not give us one morality for Palestinians and another for everyone else.
If you can watch Palestinian children die and tell yourself that their suffering is somebody else’s problem, then remember that principle when suffering reaches your own doorstep.
Fuck your selective morality. Fuck your cowardice. Fuck the comfortable silence.
You cannot abandon the oppressed because helping them is inconvenient and then demand solidarity when you become the oppressed.
If Palestine is disposable to you today, your appeals tomorrow will be disposable to me.
I will not harm you.
But I will not help you.
And when you come begging for the solidarity you refused to give Gaza, I will give you your own answer:
As if the missiles raining from the sky, mass surveillance, sniping of children, blockage of aid, bloodthirsty settler assaults, denials of human dignity, unconscionable genocidal carnage, illegal occupation, separation of family members, destruction of health, education, economic and religious institutions, sexual and psychological torture and all other myriad crimes against humanity were not abhorrent enough, now there are robots that can be maneuvered to cause mass casualties?
What kind of a beyond evil hellscape is this? When will justice arrive and these despicable horrors be stopped?
Whatever fear you had about violent technology in the future, it's already here. It's just being used 24/7 in Gaza.
STOP FUNDING IDF WAR CRIMINALS
Return to sender...
Just like they did on 911 but with planes
probably same explosives that trace to 9/11 israeli mossad terrorists
If they're using it in Gaza, you can be sure they'll use it in the US before too long. #FreePalestine #NoMoreWar

Good they walked out 👍🏽
Note he threatened the Mayor of New York City. Makew sure you never vote for anyone who takes one penny of AIPAC or affiliated money.
Agreed. Walk out. Cancel. Sending love, thanks, and ease to you, Brother Shaun.
Oh. Responding to Netanyahu and the UN today. Walk OUT. CANCEL.
DO NOT COME BEGGING
