Palestine Never Forget US & Israel

2023-12-28 Don’t Stop Speaking About Palestine The steep penalty for speaking up for Palestinian rights is often higher when you are Muslim. Presumptively Antisemitic describes this reality as a “racialized double standard.” When Muslim Americans exercise their constitutionally protected “free speech” rights to criticize the U.S. government’s persistent failure to hold Israel accountable for its systemic violations of Palestinians’ human rights, they are often “treated as security and cultural threats deserving of social stigma at best or criminalization at worst.”
Recently I saw a meme pop up on one of my social media feeds that read: “Don’t Stop Talking About Palestine.” It was a much-needed reminder that censorship is deadly for Palestinians. At present count, the death toll exceeds 20,000, with no end in sight. No matter the challenges we may individually face, even myself as a South Asian-origin Muslim in a professional position, they pale in comparison to Israel’s unrelenting bombardment and starvation of Palestinians. https://www.commondreams.org/opinion/don-t-stop-speaking-about-palestine
