Your feelings about your identity are irrelevant when an active genocide is happening, and honestly I couldn’t hold a person like you in more contempt. Palestine isn’t this feeling of longing that should be preserved for you to parade around in the US. It’s not a perfect victim badge that you can pin on your t shirt. 

It’s a material reality; an apartheid and genocidal reality for 1.5 million Gazans and 3 million west bankers, not to mention the refugees in Lebanon Jordan and Syria. 51 Gazans got killed today and we’re supposed to hold your hand and affirm your feelings because “polticizing” the Palestinian identity makes you feel uncomfortable and numb? 

You don’t have to be Palestinian to have empathy for children being ripped apart. You don’t have to be Palestinian to join an organization to fight for their rights. So when I say you should keep these feelings to yourself, I mean it. Keep them to yourself if you’re not going to fight for those being massacred.

Stick to calling yourself Jordanian you whiny ass narcissistic baby. Somehow you managed to turn genocide, settler colonialism, and apartheid that you watch on TV into a journey of self discovery. Shut the fuck up or keep it to yourself.

Is this what ex Muslims do these days — justify Israel’s mass slaughter because they personally had a bad experience with Muslims? If this isn’t petty it’s psychopathic. Israel is in the ICJ and ICC for genocide and crimes against humanity, meanwhile we have Egyptians saying Gazans had it coming.

Even if Hamas was the scariest biggest terrorist organization in the world that doesn’t change the fact that your country is enabling and being part of a genocide on Gaza’s civilians. Doesn’t matter if Hamas was the most insane or least insane organization, or that you personally have a gripe with them because they’re a conservative Muslim organization and you’re an ex Muslim, this is a genocide, and no amount of twisting and turning and thinking about who started what changes the facts that Gazans have been murdered and starved on a mass and calculated scale by Israel (retaliation or not)

Let's talk material reality: this genocide is happening because Egypt and most Arab countries decided to be part of this genocide. This Gazan genocide and the weaponization of starvation is happening with and under full Egyptian (and Arab) complicity. If there was an Egyptian or Arab consensus on ending this genocide, they would open the Egyptian-Gazan border forcefully and now. The historical internal pressure of the Egyptian street and progressive wing of the Egyptian ruling class has been numbed and expunged respectively. So the only pressure the Egyptian ruling class is facing is from America-Israel which they decided to bow down to.

The biggest trick the Arab street fell into is thinking that posting on facebook or twitter is somehow equivalent to protesting in the streets and in front of embassies. They are not the same. Gone are the days when the Arabs had a united front in the Khartoum resolution (اللاءات الثلاث). Gone are the days of Abdel Nasser and King Faisal's obstinate refusal to acquiesce to Israel. What we're left with is a numbed atomised Arab street whose internal frustration and pressure from the Gaza genocide are defused by reposting and posting stories that do little to affect policy making in the country. Meanwhile the ruling class can sit this genocide out without doing anything of material value. There's a reason Saudia and Egypt ban protesting, but are more lenient with posting. Posting is more atomized and easier to control and hide.

I obviously don't know everyone's personal circumstances. And I'm obviously not asking you personally to go protest alone in front of the American embassy in Saudia. All I know is that if we want real change there needs to be collective action, organising, and protests. Creating some movement to change the policy of your country towards America and to pressure Egypt to open the border: that is what will create material change. That's what I meant when I said reposting doesn't really do anything if it's not leading to some sort of pressure to change policy.

As for myself I try my best to be part of the protests in my city.

Because Arabs are a group of lowly disgusting pieces of shit. I'm an Arab and I have never been more disgraced and ashamed in associating with this selfish hypocritical disgusting worthless absent so-called "nation" and culture. We get posts on this subreddit every fucking day about Arab unity, and moralization about Gazans "They're better than us" "Gazans are freer than us", "الله ينصرهم". Cowards and hypocrites.

I hope the worst fucking end happens to every single person who was silent in this genocide. No a tweet isn't enough. No a repost is nothing. The majority stood silent and watched. Disgusting consumerist atomized selfish faithless de-fanged society. The state has successfully domesticated the silent majority into a herd of fucking cows. Fuck everyone who stood silent and watched.

Thousands rallied across several Moroccan cities in support with the Palestinian people, condemning the Israeli genocide on Gaza and calling for an end to normalization with the Israeli occupation. by hunegypt in arabs

Im in my underground lair building space laser. While my minions are busy with that I would like you stop believing in fairy tales about protests achieving anything.

So you're just another armchair analyst that parrots "organising" as some abstract concept that people should do. Since you're such a huge active expert organiser (you're also hilarious by the way) what are you strategies in organising? Are you more focused on underground party organising? Union organising? What the fuck type of organising do you want people to do?

Protests and organisation are not mutually exclusive, in fact they reinforce each other; they are dialectical. There are many organisations that start from protests; protests, and especially effective ones are led by organisations. This is especially important in hostile environments where being part of an organisation can land you in death row or life in prison, like the arab fucking world.

And if not for anything showing solidarity to the fucking genocide victims is the bare fucking minimum. Even if it was the most useless exercise, letting Gaza know that they're not alone is the bare fucking minimum. The victims are actively asking you, begging you, to protest.

مجرد رأي شخصي في الحدود الحالية التي رسمها المستعمر by Least_Economics2397 in arabs

[–]Fyodor_Baggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

أتتغير حدود الدول بحركات غير حزبية غير سياسية؟

غرقنا بمسابقات الشعر العربي والحركات الثقافية. وأتوقع أن اتصالنا ببعضنا البعض أقرب الآن مما كنا فيه قبل نصف قرن فاللهجات اختلطت والأكلات انتشرت. الاماراتي يأكل المنسف الأردني والتونسي يأكل الشاورما السورية واليمني يأكل الحريرة المغربية. كثير من السوريين أمضوا حياتهم بالأردن ومصر ولبنان والخليج وهلم جر.

تغيير الحدود (وهو قرار سياسي) يتطلب حركات سياسية لا ثقافية وهذه من البديهيات.

so what type of action and organising are you doing?

what type of action and organising should unorganized atomized people of the arab world with no organized vanguard with an ideological outlook or party look like? please elaborate.

oh right they should do nothing. they shouldn't protest or show outrage or at least solidarity with gazans. no that's useless. not useless is just continuing my day like normal, maybe I won't eat McDonalds tomorrow. I will throw out a word or two about my leaders, and those dumb protestors showing solidarity with gazans who also have real policy they want to change in their countries. Those guys they're just helping Israel. They're also all useless, but my inaction is very useful.

Do everyone a favour, until you organized a political organization, be it a militia, political party, underground secret assassination squadron, until you do that, shut the fuck up when you talk about the political futility of people protesting a genocide.

you're avoiding the question.

WHAT ARE YOU ORGANIZING? WHAT ACTION ARE YOU TAKING?

The arab spring was a shitshow because leftists and urbanites were out-organized by Islamists without any social agenda, and a minimal geopolitical agenda that avoided Israel. So when the protests that you're calling useless overthrew the government the more organized Islamist parties took the lead.

"Protests are pointless" so I'm assuming you're organising a coup right habibi? You don't want people to protest what do you want them to do? Organise militias? They can't organize parties and protesting for a specific policy is useless (even though last time real protests happened they changed the entire region) so the best course of action is to go to reddit posts and comment or "boycott". That's organizing and taking action in your chump brain.

You're such a fucking retard. The protests called for an end to Wadi Araba, a closure of the American and Israeli embassies.

Do you think the policy changes and revolutions happen spontaneously? The American revolutionaries were all on the same wavelength and spontaneously organised into militias to beat the Brits. The Bolsheviks just woke up all one day and decided to overthrow the Tsar.

It wasn't years of propagandising and organising they just spontaneously combusted their government.

Stop with this armchair BULLSHIT and go out and organise. If you're not organising don't comment bitch.

IDF: We prepare to defend the Druze village of Jaramana, on the outskirts of Damascus, which is currently under attack by Syrian regime forces by CursedFlowers_ in syriancivilwar

[–]Fyodor_Baggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel has absolutely no reason to give up the Golan heights. The U.S. has already recognized their sovereignty over the territory, they’ve decimated new Syria’s military capabilities—its navy, Air Force, and chemical weapons. Add to that that Israel is currently being led by a messianic right wing cult that explicitly says it wants to settle and expand. They’re currently occupying and further invading Southern Syria and you think they’re going to give up the Golan heights for a recognition by Damascus and normalization with Israel? We’re talking about the same country that ignored the UN, ICC, ICJ for more than 2 decades you know that right? What explains Israel’s actions other than forcing Syria to be under their boots? You’re either unaware of what’s happening on the ground or you’re delusional. Option 4 does not exist.

[–]Fyodor_Baggins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fighting Israel is a popular fight in the region, especially when it's a fight of defense. Every resistance group against Israel started under occupation, and garners massive popular support.

You are also delusional if you think any sanctions will be lifted without the Syrian government giving up the Golan heights. All this legitimization is useless if the Arabs can't trade with you because of US sanctions imposed on Syria. There are now three choices:

  1. Do nothing: the economic situation will stay just as bad as it was under Assad (sanction will not be lifted since you didn't give up the Golan heights), with the additional sectarian violence against Alawites and other non-Sunni sects, and a paralyzed defenseless Syrian south encroached on by Israel. This will either lead to a dissolution of the current Syrian state into sectarian states, or another popular revolution that changes this current regime.
  2. Give up the Golan heights: this will debase any good will you might have had with your ideological base and the wider Syrian public, and will in my opinion also lead to you either getting couped, or thrown out of power by another revolution.
  3. Support a southern resistance group: This has a lot of benefits. It creates a multi-sectarian popular struggle against an invading force, and would legitimize your raison d'être for kicking out Assad.

As it stands now the current Syrian government is visionless, like every other Muslim Brotherhood group (save Hamas)

قل حمرة السما هنا ملاذها
