A bottomless pit of depravity… Never have I seen such endless, shameless, callous deceit
Palestinians are mourning their dead after Israel launched strikes on Gaza hours after a ceasefire deal was agreed. Latest updates: trib.al/3ZhtLnZ

Before calling anyone to ask about something, I pause and wonder: Is this something I can Google instead? This is the karma I put out into the world with the hope that I will be repaid in kind.

في تعميمات كده في كوكب الself help مؤذية اكتر ما هي مفيدة. مثلآ: - انا كده و يا الناس تتقبلني يا بلاش - انا صريح بزيادة والناس هي اللي نيتها وحشة لو فهمتني غلط - أي حد ينتقدني يبقي توكسيك لأ يا جماعة مش كل حاجة من دي تنطبق علي كل حد. في ناس طباعها لا تعاشر ومحتاجة تغير من نفسها

Is it that “no one understands you” or “no one is interested in bending over backwards to accommodate your irrational behavior”?

Brilliant
A colonizer is always angry, because a colonizer is always guilty. A colonizer is always violent, because a colonizer is always afraid. A colonizer is always angry and afraid because a colonizer is never home. - Lately I started getting words for it, this colonizer homelessness, the fact that colonizers look and feel like aliens to natives not only because they don't belong, but because the colonizers themselves feel the same way. Think about it: wherever a colonizer goes, whatever they see, smell or taste, it is never theirs, or completely natural. It is not organic to them, but engineered; their whole existence is. Whatever sustains and nourishes the native, threatens the colonizer and reflects their strangeness: the food, the music, the landscape, the flora and fauna. the sounds and smells, everything. Whatever comes naturally to the native is a great effort for the colonizer: they don't understand the codes, and never will. They can't be still. Aa colonizer is not an immigrant, a tourist or a guest, they have to find meaning for their stay. It must be a higher purpose, a higher calling, else what can explain both their presence not home, and the violent means they always need to maintain it? We are not designed to inflict pain and injury for comfort. We need a story to put us in a positive light. - So much of the western world's anxiety, I think, is just a colonizer's latent, repressed homelessness. Because colonialism is not just taking other people's home, it is also, and forever, being without one yourself.

Let’s assume for a minute this is true.. Did it occur to you to ask why Palestinians trampled each other? Why would anyone be so desperate for food that they would willingly enter a stampede?
There was no massacre of Palestinians in Gaza today. You’ll be hearing that there was. It’s propaganda. Palestinians trampled each other as they fought for the aid that the IDF sent in knowing that Hamas was going to steal it like they have stolen all aid. Hundreds of Palestinians were trampled to death and many others injured. In parallel, a Palestinian mob tried to attack IDF forces who proceeded to shoot warning shots in the air and when the mob didn’t stop, the IDF fired at their legs. As I said, no massacre in Gaza. When the propaganda starts populating your feeds, just know that it is 100% false. You’ll be hearing about this fabricated massacre across all mainstream media in 3…2… Here is footage of the Palestinian mob trying to steal aid and trampling each other. Don’t believe the lies that are being fed to the media directly from Hamas.

Freedom is never willingly granted or graciously bestowed. It is TAKEN, sometimes with force.
Do you agree with China? 🇨🇳

Notice how not a single one of them so much as blinked, let alone interrupted their prayers, until they were physically shoved by these armed thugs
🇵🇸🇮🇱 This is how Israel treated Palestinians who attempted to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque last Ramadan.

It’s one (horrific) thing to be at war and it’s an entirely other league to be a besieged civilian suffering at the hands of a military that is shockingly morally bankrupt, overtly unscrupulous, and glaringly dishonourable. #IsraelApartheidState #IsraelIsATerroristState

First it was Stockholm syndrome. Then it was threatening their families if they don't act happy. Now it's drugs and tranquilizers. Keep throwing things at the wall, maybe something will eventually stick.
