It's insane how I made this exact same comparison in the notes of a pro-palestinian post after a zionist replied to it, damn. well said.
do you not realize that jews are indigenous to israel? there is both genetic and archaeological evidence. additionally the reason most jews who lived in europe simply can’t return (where they are not indigenous to anyways) is because their neighbors literally were robbing and raping and killing and turning them into the nazis and other armies that were trying to kill them. it wasn’t just the nazis killing them. and do you know the state of antisemitism in america? jews make up the majority of victims of hate crimes, more than any other minority group in the united states. the fbi releases statistics every year. israel is the only country where they are not subject to outright discrimination on the basis of ethnicity and religion. this is because jews are not white. they are from the levant. if palestinians are not white, and many are actually originally from even further north than israel/palestine (many common last names translate to “the (name of non-arab group formerly colonized by the arabs)), then neither are jews.
yes palestinians are also victims of colonization, by the arabs and british and turks, NOT by israel; who aside from india is the only successful state to have fully decolonized. this does not mean palestinians are treated entirely fairly, but part of this is due to the fact that palestine has an entirely separate government, and israel has fully withdrawn from gaza aside from continuing to provide water and electricity, something they are not required to do as a separate country. egypt does not provide these resources despite also having a blockade set up.
palestine was not peaceful for jews before the establishment of israel. look up any given city or town and the word “pogrom” and you will be met with the story of a systemic killing of jews in that municipality
I’m going to have to use a few examples to explain this.
Romani people are ethnically indigenous to northern India and are currently mostly dispersed thoughout Europe, they were also victims in the holocaust and they are also heavily discriminated against in all parts of the world they live especially in Europe. If, leading up to and after the holocaust a Romani person created a Zionist-like ideology of a Romani ethnostate. If after WWII, with the help of the British they mass immigrated back to northern India as refugees and were welcomed by the indigenous Indians already living there. Would it have been okay for them to then commit their own nakba and colonise a portion of northern India and rename it Romaniland or whatever the fuck?? Start expelling and murdering the Indians that had been living there for generations who also have an ethnic claim to the land? Packing 2 million of them in a 45km squared strip of land and do to them what Israelis are doing to Gazans? Having the fucking audacity to say it’s okay because “they were here first” 1000 years ago? While also somehow simultaneously claiming that there were no people there? “a people without land and a land without people” ??
Did you know that before Zionists settled on Palestine, they also considered Uganda and Argentina for their Zionist state?? The Zionist ideology is inherent to the existence of modern Israel and is the reason it was created, the racism, colonialism, apartheid and genocide is not the fault of a bad government but the foundation of the country itself. The Zionist ideology and genocidal intentions were already in place before they step foot in Palestine and could also be happening right now in Uganda or Argentina instead so don’t try to bullshit that “they were here first” because they would be doing this regardless of the location.
Palestinians are victims of Israeli colonisation as we can see with our own eyes right this moment and literally how dare you even say that. Also you know who else is killed and discriminated against everywhere in the world they go? Women, gay people, disabled people, Romani people, this wouldn’t justify any of these groups creating their own apartheid state anywhere in the world and start doing what Israelis are currently doing.
I want to make it clear that in the process of the Israeli state returning the land to Palestine and ceasing to exist, not one single person needs to be harmed or killed, a lot of them won’t even have to leave the country and can just live in Palestine, amongst Palestinian people of all religions including Jewish, as they did when they first arrived after WWII. If Romani people also wanted to move back to northern India without colonising it and creating an apartheid state this would also be completely okay fucking obviously. Modern Israel is not the Israel from the bible. Every piece of land on earth is already belonging to an existing country and you cannot create a new one without occupying another. Sucks but that’s the reality. Have a terrible day.
We made the Covaccine and Covishield. We completed over 1 billion vaccinations. We are way more capable than what's thought of us. But India could've avoided so many deaths if the US wasn't like this.
also re: covid vaccines, people have said this but places like India, Korea, etc are very very very good at medical research and India is the biggest distributor of vaccines. it is not "the us needs to give/donate Poor Countries medicines because they are too stupid to figure it out themselves" it is "the us copyrighted the ingredients of the vaccine and so nobody can make them outside of the country"
which is vastly more insidious than simply not performing charity
It's so weird when people say that these western stories are very inclusive, they have people from every race yet they don't include Indian people who migrate and settle in all developed countries over the world. You'll find loads of us in America, Singapore, UAE, Western Europe and even China, South-East Asia and South-Asian countries. We are everywhere yet are somehow almost always ignored or added as a second thought.
no but i am actually going to cry. grover being played by a desi actor will forever make me cry as a desi person who never saw himself in pjo because there weren’t any desi characters because this is THE representation we need

Thomas's diary is something Sona would have relations to as it is in Spanish, this we can deduce it was started in his overseas trip and includes his first truly nice memory of Alastair. James' gun was what he used to save Cordelia from Lilith in COI.
James' gun may have a silver band, (it's not found yet so Cassie may have future plans for it) and Thomas's diary was a cherished possession of one of his closest friends.
So far, my theory about the ghost being Sona or James is holding up well.
Neither.
Here it is.
I plan to draw Kamala Joshi in a Nauvari sari. I feel it would suit her and hope @cassandraclare can include this in her story or maybe @cassandrajp can also draw her in this attire. I was born and raised in Mumbai so I’m very excited at the prospect of my city being included in a series I love. The Nauvari ( Nine yards of fabric) is also referred to as the Kaashta or Lugade. It is a traditional sari of the state of Maharashtra and Mumbai is the state capital. Unlike other sarees, the Nauvari is built to mirror the traditional trousers that men wore and is made to be comfortable and easy to move in. It was also the staple of the Maratha clan of fighters, which was a clan that rivalled the Mughals in power and firmly established guerrila warfare training in their soldiers.
Hi. I don't know how to link stuff but whenever I reblog stuff (to save it cause idk how to archive) I specifically mention "made by bang-tan" so is that okay?
what is wrong with "credit to the artist"? the credit is given, i'm confused
there is everything wrong with re-uploading the artist’s work without their permission and excusing urself by saying “credit to the artist”
lets say you’re in college. you decide to plagiarize someone’s essay, stealing their effort and hard work. you hand it in to ur prof. its not ur own work, but u write “credit to whoever wrote this” at the top. its as stupid as that. why would u steal someone’s work knowingly??
and it doesn’t matter that you admire their work. “i reuploaded it so i could share it with my followers! i was appreciating your work!” is the most bullshit logic i’ve heard. if you appreciate other people’s work, find the proper source and LINK IT TO UR FOLLOWERS INSTEAD. ppl want their work respected, not redistributed
