The basic (colonial) double standard of the Israel Palestine "conflict" is that any Palestinian violence justifies any Israeli violence, but no Israeli violence ever justifies any Palestinian violence, and once you see it, you'll never stop seeing it.

Israel bombed my home, killed many of my friends, family & colleagues. But our pain should NEVER be exploited to spew antisemitic hatred! This never helps us a jot. It only damages the justness of our cause! Antisemitism makes one an oppressor, not an ally! Reject hatred!

This new episode with @OkazuYuri has EVERYTHING: gay haircuts, yearning, rage against the patriarchy, they were *roommates*.... Let’s dive into the magical world of Yoshiya Nobuko, girls’ culture, and lesbian fiction in Taishō era Japan! link.chtbl.com/historyisgay46

So many Jews critical of Israel are talking about real antisemitism and your response is “criticism of Israel isn’t antisemitic.” Yeah we know that. We’ve probably been criticizing Israel longer than you have. When we say something is antisemitic listen to us

My fellow American Jews. The Holocaust was devastating. I lost family to it. The killing of Israeli civilians was horrific. But right now we are not the victims of genocide. Palestinians are. Israel & the U.S. are perpetuating it in our names. Don’t let them #neverAgainIsNow

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate. 1/5

'(Freddie Mercury) was sheer poison, a man bent - the apt word in the circumstances - on abnormal sexual pleasure, corrupt, corrupting and a drug taker.' Never forget how cruelly homophobic the tabloids were, even when we were dying of #AIDS. #FreddieMercury

Trans women deserve safety

The expression “call a spade a spade” comes from the work of Plutarch, who originally wrote “call a fig a fig & a trough a trough.” Figs & troughs were crude slang for the Vulva, so what Plutarch meant was “call a c*nt a c*nt”. When Erasmus (1466-1536) translated Plutarch’s work & changed it to a garden spade to avoid embarrassment.
