it’s literally there. in black and white. fight me.
Okay let’s fight
First of all, your ignorance is showing right off the bat with you saying “’Arabic’ people living in Israel”. It’s Palestinians people, and second, there is no “Arabic” people. Arabic is a language, and Arab is an ethnicity.
Second, there are no “affirmative action” policies in place to “protect” us ha. There are over 70 Palestinians cities/villages WITHIN Israel, some of which have existed since before Israel “declared independence”, are unrecognized and receive no support whatsoever, despite paying the same Israeli taxes as everyone else.
- There is literally a law in place that allows smaller Israeli towns/communities to choose to kick our or prevent Arabs from moving into them in order to preserve their “fundamental outlook”.
- There is a bill that makes it illegal for Palestinians within Israel to commemorate their ethnic cleansing
- Most Palestinian communities within Israel are devoid of genuine opportunity, receive less funding, and Palestinians are regularly turned away from jobs based on their race.
- There is a law that pulls government aid for families of children that have no been vaccinated. This law may seem neutral, but it targets Palestinian families because Israel shuts down clinics the clinics that provides these vaccines in Palestinian communities, leaving these tax-paying families without support.
All of this, and I still haven’t gotten into the fact that Israel was founded on the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, after numerous massacres such as:
- The Sa’sa massacre in which Israeli forces massacred 60 innocent Palestinian villagers for no reason other than to “restore confidence” in their terrorist forces
- The Jaffa massacre, in which Israeli forces hurled Palestinians into mass graves in their conversion of Jaffa from a Palestinian Arab city into an Israeli Jewish one.
- The Deir Yassin massacre, in which Israeli forces gunned down the unarmed men, woman, and children of the village, killing over 100 people, some of whom the Israeli forces would trap in their homes and throw grenades through the windows.
- The massacre of Lydda [Lod], in which Israeli defense forces were “ordered to shoot anyone “seen on the streets"”, resulting in these Israeli forces massacring over 250 innocent Palestinian men, women, and children.
- The Safsaf massacre, in which over 50 Arab men were executed with their hands tied behind their backs by Israeli forces
Just to name a few, btw, because there are many, many more.
Over 500 Palestinian towns and cities were completely depopulated and burned to the ground.
And I STILL haven’t gone into the blockade of Gaza that has been “formally” in effect since the late 1980′s, but existed before that as well, in which Israel limits the basic living supplies allowed to flow to the Palestinians of Gaza.
Or the over 200 internationally illegal Israeli settlements built in the West Bank of Palestine, on illegally confiscated Palestinian land. These settlements house over 300,000 illegal Israeli settlers, who are provided with weapons to “protect” themselves by the Israeli government. These settlers regularly attack Palestinians and are always protected by the IDF, while those defending themselves from these terrorists face severe consequences, and are often killed in retaliation.
These settlements limit the ability for Palestinians to move within their own land, as they are connected by roads built [or in many cases, stolen] exclusively for Israeli settlers, with very steep consequences for any Palestinian caught driving on them. This results in isolated Palestinian communities surrounded by racist settlers who routinely attack them, burn down groves, houses, mosques, and even churches, who are protected by the government.
You know were many of the survivors of these Israeli massacres and ethnic cleansing attempts congregated? In the Gaza Strip, which is one of the most densely populated regions on the planet.
“But Hamas fires from civilian areas!!!” In the Gaza Strip, there is NO “open” land, as everything is nearby something else. You can fire from the center of the most “open” park, and just yards away there will be a hospital or a hotel or homes, etc.
So Israel literally wiped Palestine off the map and continues to do so through both “legal” means, as well as illegal ones. They massacre us, they steal our land, they lock us into open-air prisons and slaughter us, yet those who choose to defend themselves are the ones blamed for all of this?
Hamas is not without flaws of course, but to pin the blame on Hamas, which is a RESULT of Israeli atrocities against the Palestinian people [and was also FUNDED by Israel in order to fuel a “religious Palestinian militant movement” to fight against the secular Palestinian movements in order to destabilize us, by the way]. How can this be Hamas’ fault, when Hamas has only existed for the last couple of decades, whereas Israel has been doing this for the last 60+ years?
How’s that for black and white? And how about you shut the fuck up about stuff you very obviously couldn’t know less about.
Fight me :)

5 years ago i was a fucking mess & now i’m a fucking mess but at peace with it and with cooler fashion sense
there was an American hate group from 1987 to 1993 called the Dotbusters that violently attacked and killed people who were wearing bindis.
if after knowing this you make fun of hindus for wearing bindis to express their religion or if you use bindis solely as fashion accessories in order to appear “exotic” or “quirky” you are trash
Friendly reminder that the intro to Lion King….the non english bits leading up to the “circle of life” is not random yelling in *Africa voice* it is an actual language, Zulu, spoken by 10 million people, it is the most widely spoken language (out of 11) in the country of South Africa (1 out of the 54 countries in the continent of Africa, the continent home to somewhere between 1500-2000 languages and around 3000 distinct ethnic groups)
this isn’t to say that you have to friggin learn the language to sing along with a disney film, it just means that you should be mindful, respectful, appreciative and respectful. don’t be yelling out whatever noise comes in to your head when you hear it
Ok but someone knows what does this say?
The lyrics before the english comes in…in “circle of life”
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion]
Nants ingonyama bagithi baba [Here comes a lion, Father]
Sithi uhm ingonyama [Oh yes, it’s a lion]
Ingonyama [It’s a lion]
Siyo Nqoba [We’re going to conquer]
Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw’ enamabala [A lion and a leopard come to this open place] (repeats)
[queue English lyrics]
I would like to further add that language has there own cultural nuances so something that can sound extremely meaningful in one languages may not sound as majestic when translated to another (I know this as someone who has an understanding of 5 languages and speaks 3 of them fluently) so if you are thinking “oh it ain’t that deep they are just yelling: the lion is coming!” dial it back
Worth noting that “lion” and especially the word Ingonyama is a very respectful word to talk about a Zulu king, especially in praise. It’s so heavily associated with royalty in isiZulu that a different word is used for an animal lion - Ibhubesi. This isn’t just announcing the arrival of an animal, it’s celebrating the arrival (or coronation?) of the king
