But instead, the U.S., Britain and other European powers finance, arm and back to the hilt Israel’s occupation, including the siege of Gaza – Precisely to prevent Palestinians obtaining the arms that would allow them to protect themselves against Israeli military might.

Nelson Mandela was in USA's terror watchlist until *2008. The guy who fought against apartheid state of South Africa, won a Nobel peace prize, became a president, a beloved character across the globe was in the terror watchlist of USA. So I wouldn't actually take murica's opinion about labeling a person or group of people as terrorists. Chances are they're actually fighting for the freedom of their country.
That's why they call Hamas terrorists instead of freedom fighters. In their eyes The Nelson Mandela was a terrorist.
Anyways as Nelson Mandela said
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🍉
“If I came with a Bible in one hand and a rifle in the other, knocked on your door and said:
‘According to my Bible, my family lived in your home two thousand years ago.’
Would you pack up your bags and leave?”
Be furious.
Be absolutely enraged.

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
America has now bombed and conducted illegal wars in:
- Iraq
- Syria
- Libya
- Somalia
- Pakistan
- Afghanistan
- Palestine
- Yemen
But Muslims are the terrorists?
Scars tell stories
Stories of triumph,
Stories of losses.
They say so much,
Even though they lack a mouth.
Purposeful or accidental,
There's a story to tell.
The firey explosion of a tank,
Or an accidental hit with a toy,
Tell a story nonetheless.
Jagged or clean,
Faint or dark,
Risen up or dented down,
All have a
Story to Tell.
Surgical scars,
Ment to help the living.
Methodical scars,
Meant to harm
but not kill.
Self done,
Used as a means to escape.
What? You may ask,
Only the person could tell.
War scars tell
War stories
Stories of Triumph
And shame.
Gunshots, blades, burns,
All leave their marks.
Scars from play,
Are perhaps the most entertaining.
A fall in a playground,
A hit too hard with a plastic sword.
Leaves the owner laughing,
As they tell
The stories of their scars.
Scars tell stories,
So be careful when you ask.
Some scars hurt,
Long after they
Bled and Burned.
Some are ashamed
Of the marks on their bodies,
Others find pride in marred skin.
Scars tell stories,
So some prefer to hide.
Others want the scars to see light,
Because they wish for their stories to be known.
Scars tell stories,
So it's important to listen.
Scars have power over the owner,
And those around,
Some overcome the power,
Others still struggle against it.
But all the same,
Big or Small,
Shallow or Deep,
Scars tell Stories.
