    A school division in my city just had to apologize for showing an anti-colonialism message in the context of Canadian colonialism and genocide of indigenous north americans at some event because some absolutely victim brained zionists complained about it assuming it was about Israel, so sadly this situation doesn't surprise me

    The very deliberate conflation of zionism and antisemitism by Zionist orgs in an attempt to defend their genocide has so much to answer for.

      I have, since learning the definition when doing a report in high school on merchant of Venice like 15 years ago wondered how it came to only refer to jews but never really looked into it cause at the time I still had to sort through a lot of anti-semetism (in the colloquial sense) while doing historical research behind the play. I crushed my Othello report by writing on what racism at the time amounted to vs today because we weren't given that framing before reading it and that is a massive part of reading the play in modern times and did a whole thing about how the modern concept of race and racism was born from capitalism and figured I could do the same again. Instead I just learned that Europe was a really bad place to be Jewish at the time and more than I thought. However I did work in the literal terminology in to get a dig at the war on terror and also it was like a year or two after the second Intifada and 06 Israel/Lebanon war and I found thst definition super fucking interesting and while i got a good grade I also didn't have to present my work to the class like everyone else and just got to do my presentation to the teacher. Also I had NO CLUE I was this based as a kid. This was coming from a place of pure contrariamism and noticing if I just barely follow the curriculum guidelines while giving my teachers a good read I could enjoy school. Little did I know that's just being a good student.

    I'm sure links have been linked, but I'd like to get a solidarity keffiyeh, also they just look nice. I'd like the cool pro playtime black n white and if I were to get some where would be somewhere that my money is well spent? I'm a big fan of things that are like scarves

    i feel like this was done with the purpose of setting a precedent whereby other companies can't do the same thing but claim any sort of innocence or ignorance.

    this shit is way too scripted to be real
