i really hate when ppl say “how can israelis carry out ethnic cleansing when their parents and grandparents fled the holocaust” – partially bc it shows zero understanding of the militarized israeli psyche and how the holocaust plays a major role in state propaganda to garner support for endless occupation and apartheid, partially because there is no sociological research that shows that a group that has suffered genocide won’t do the same thing to others
what i get much more caught up asking myself is: we are a people who deeply understands the yearning and the pain of diaspora. 3,000 years of psalms and prayers and songs and holidays and stories that remind generation after generation of where the jewish people came from – not voluntarily, but through ethnic cleansing and forcible transfer and expulsion
and yet we chose to inflict the unspeakable pain of exile upon the palestinian people
It didn’t feel right to let this sit in the tags. If you aren’t comfortable with what I’m doing, please say so.
My mother happened upon this uniquely spherical cat at a thrift store in Texas and felt compelled to purchase it despite not wanting to keep it herself and at Christmas offered/pled for one of us to take it home. Alas no one would adopt the poor creature so I, being a plushie collector, took it with me. It is currently living in and guarding my car.
