I have no skin in the game. I’m not religious, I grew up in a much smaller religion than either Jewish people or Muslims, and I decided early on that I do not believe in any gods. Culturally, my environment was very Islamophobic growing up, my mom still can’t stop badmouthing Muslims. I have no hatred towards Jewish people or Muslim people. When Muslim people commit atrocities towards any group, I call them atrocities, when Jewish people commit atrocities, I call them atrocities.

You seem to take issue with Palestinian nationalism, but what do you call Israel’s genocide? Is that not a form of nationalism? Refugee crises are a topic of debate, and no country is obligated to take on refugees. Who’s cutting whose heads off in Gaza? Israel has bombed it to rubble indiscriminately, they’ve not only killed innocent men, but also women and children. They’ve intentionally targetted marked and lit humanitarian aid vehicles and killed impartial aid workers and paramedics. To call their actions barbaric is an insult to barbarians. Nobody’s enslaving Jewish people in Palestine, but there’s thousands and thousands of Palestinians being rampantly murdered by Jewish people. If you could stop being the victim for five seconds, you could see why so many people have a problem with what’s happening in Palestine.

P.S. You’re more likely to get disappeared by ICE nowadays if you’re in the States as a POC, especially a refugee.
