Meanwhile, Zionists chase me around with a pickup truck just or wearing a keffiyeh... "When we say there's a material difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe, this is exactly what we mean. Mayim Bialik saw a man wearing a "Zionism is Racism" shirt in the parking lot of her favourite vegan restaurant— and immediately imagined a violent attack that never happened. No one touched her. No one threatened her. No one harmed her children. A grown, five-foot-four mother saw a political message she didn't like, and her immediate instinct was to broadcast her hypothetical, imagined trauma to the world as though she had survived a war zone. Zionists have been so culturally protected that many genuinely cannot distinguish between having their politics challenged and being physically unsafe. A political t-shirt becomes an existential threat. A stranger in a parking lot becomes a near-traumatic event. Meanwhile, Palestinians don't have to imagine the violence being inflicted on them. The bombs are real. The starvation is real. The displacement is real. Yet somehow, the woman with the podcast microphone, the celebrity platform, and every institutional protection imaginable-- is still asking us to centre the chill that ran down her spine because she saw a piece of cotton she didn't like. Nothing happened, Mayim. Your children witnessed nothing...except political dissent. Nobody threatened you. Nobody hurt you. Nobody touched you. You saw a political message you didn't like, imagined the rest, and now expect the world to participate in your performance of victimhood while Palestinians endure horrors that require no imagination whatsoever. The narcissism -- and the immense harm it causes -- are absolutely off the charts..." - Gur Tsabar #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli #freepalestine
