The University's administration has seemed to be extremely bigoted in the past, so probably.
A little bipolar.
Zionists are the most evil mother fuckers ever.
Wow what the fuck—that’s tragic.
Oh they were Khamas too /s
RIP. I can't even begin to imagine what their families n friends must be feeling rn
Damn it I wrote a long comment and it got discarded because I'm wearing gloves which are already hard to type in.
From memory.
Your post is very sad and shows just how indiscriminate Israel is doing their ~~genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupational land grab,~~ I mean the special military operation against Hamas of course.
Thank you very much because it sent me on deep dive about Islamic law and how it varies between groups. From there I ended up learning that really good za'atar is made there. I'm almost out of what I have so I got some of that and some more things from Al'Ard.
They claim everything they sell is Palestinian-made. I sent them a question about how they're doing getting this stuff out of the country. Anyway it came with a free keffiyeh which I've thought were dope since I had a roommate with one and he explained its significance. This was almost 20 years ago. Now I feel confident to wear it and I'm ready for a scuffle if someone has a problem.
So thank you for the last hour and a half of learning!
I knew very little about Palestinian culture before this genocide. I have learned so much, which I'm immensely grateful for, though I regret the circumstances that fuelled my interest. I have found that learning about Palestine and its people has helped me to understand this conflict beyond the horror of the ever-increasing casualty figures, while keeping me grounded enough that I don't emotionally burn out and have to tune out from what's happening.
You might enjoy this article about Palestinian weaving. It's quite short, but it has some good links for more reading.

Ugh, I'm all too familiar with that frustration. Thanks for rewriting what you able to, I appreciate your comment even (especially?) if it isn't as coherent/details as your intended one was.
Are you on drugs or a bot. What a weird thing to say
