My past experiences with arabs makes it really hard to sympathize with Palestine

If you don’t want to support Palestinians, that’s up to you. But to bring up other ethnic groups and how they treated you as justification for your silence against people being murdered simply for existing and living in an apartheid state is low.

The situation in Palestine isn’t about “arabs,” as much as it’s about one group of people being wiped out and are living in an open air prision in their OWN country while being oppressed by a powerful, callous and brutal regime who are settlers and theives.

Have some compassion. Especially if you’re Muslim.

exactly.....oh some arabs were rude to me so I dont care about palestine is very dumb way to look at it. I have had bad experience with all races at some point, would never make me not have any compassion for people being mistreated
 
Are you from edmonton? I agree that the Lebanese people there are sooo racist. I used to live there growing up and they would pick on Somali kids and african kids in general.

The “ummah” is a farce tbh, nobody cares about the uyghurs or they just gave some sympathetic words on social media but left it at that. They’re in the exact same situation as the Palestinians (oppressed by an outside group), where are the protests? Tells me everything I need to know.

We can be against genocide but still say that there is an issue in the Muslim community when it comes to whose issues are highlighted/fought for and whose are ignored
 
Imagine if people started disliking somalis because of racist trolls, never generalise an entire group. I understand your past experiences, but it should not hinder showing empathy to innocent and brutalised people.

I live in Egypt for 15 years and I did face racism rarely but even that time the people in the street used to defend me. and the Somali community in Egypt knows how to defend itself.

it doesn't mean that you face some racism that all Arabs are bad.

Honestly, the uighur muslim situation is a lie. The west is using it as a diversion. Basically china want to build a pipeline towards europe and that would be a massive gamechanger, thats why they are literally taking these uighurs into *re-education camps*. They don't suffer, nothing happens to them the organ harvesting and the rest is a full on lie at worst they are taught CCP propaganda.

They're being brutalized because they're weak, otherwise they'd do the same thing of they had the opportunity.

Israel has the most advanced military, yet are fighting a group of people who have just pebbles and home made rockets for over 73 years, and have yet to fully conquer them. You tell me who’s the weaker one.

You can sympathize with the Palestinians. Stop talking so much about racism. Racism is a bad habit but is not a real problem.

I am really sorry about your past experience but...

How the f*ck is bullying you got from some kids relevant to what is going on in the world right now??

Are you that low to ignore or at worse support, the continued brutalisation of an occupied people because you got bullied by someone.
