Every year has been catastrophic for Palestinians around the world, but the past 12 months have been unimaginable, writes Guardian columnist Arwa Mahdawi
I’m curious, to the people downvoting: why? Are you unable to see her humanity? What specifically in her deeply personal op ed made you so feel so strongly that you had to downvote this post? I’m genuinely curious. Or did you just see the word Palestinian and downvote it by force of habit, thus proving her point in the process?
This was a powerful op ed written by someone who knows what she’s talking about, exposing some uncomfortable truths about the US and what it valves.
Don’t get me wrong… It’s awful racism is fucking shit and I’m subject to it as immigrant a lot. Obviously not to this level or anyone that was the wrong colour after 9/11.
But what did this article say? What opportunities/jobs/friends has she lost? Why not go into personal affairs, that’s what the title lead me to believe the article was about.
Show us the daily struggles of immigrants and racism in full force! It just boggled down to yet another “generic” preaching to those already in your favour? This isn’t swaying anyone, let’s be real here. Those that need to read it, won’t.
Its the easiest shit to get away with. Hating and masse. Its number one strategy which worked so well against “my people” and this journalist is feeding more into it! Show me your personal story, if you only show numbers, there’s no personality, your people just became a statistic.
Oh so all of Israel is bulldozed Palestinian houses? I guess then all the jews should leave the state alltogether and “go back to europe”, huh?
If you truly believe that will happen, and that we need to act towards that, then you have the same ideals as Hamas and I can hardly take you seriously.

I hope my point comes across.
You can go look up how Israelis bulldoze Palestinian homes and steal their land if you gave a shit…
Could also look up how the Israeli north or Gaza bordering kibbutz look like. For some reason, I don’t think you give a shit …
He already mentioned the houses Israelis built on bulldozed Palestinians houses.

Reread the thread and stop adding your own nonsense to support more mass murdering.
