Today, Sun Oct. 27th, marks the 72nd yr of a brutal Indian military occupation of Kashmir. There are ~1 million Indian troops currently on the ground, making Kashmir the most militarized region in the world. Today in Chicago we demand an end to the occupation & #standwithkashmir
The poetry of resistance: "We were and we shall be" #standwithkashmir
95,000+ killed
20,000+ orphaned

I know this may come as a shock to many, but you can find both the Iranian gov & US gov corrupt. It’s possible. You can understand that the internet block in Iran is deeply horrid while knowing that US sanctions have been blocking Iranians from internet services for yrs already.
Bc of the internet block I’ve been trying to buy calling cards to contact fam & friends. It hasn’t been working. And thanks to US sanctions, I also can’t call/contact using google voice or other US-based services. If you want to talk about communications block, blame the USA too
The protests in Iran are due to the gov’s mismanagement of funds (specifically gas prices this time), widespread corruption, and a deeply crippling economic situation that has been only exacerbated and intensified by US sanctions and affect every Iranian, every single day.

okay time to talk about Israel's apartheid wall & checkpoints: a thread.
In the short time I was in Palestine last month, on 2 separate occasions Israeli soldiers made my friends take their pants down at the checkpoint between the West Bank & Israel.
We were walking through the checkpoint & they yanked her aside & forced her to drop her pants & lift her shirt in a tiny room while a teen soldier watched from behind a camera in the ceiling, machine gun in hand (clearly just for aesthetics given you can’t shoot through a camera)
The time before that my Palestinian friend was coming to pick me up. What should be so infuriating & shocking is a daily reality for Palestinians living under occupation. What should have just been a quick trip (just 10mi/16km, ~20mins) between Ramallah & Jerusalem takes ~1.5hrs.

Hi just a friendly reminder that "objectivity" is a white myth™ that erases histories of colonialism from whiteness making it seem like white people are somehow better equipped to talk about your people & culture than you are, because you're "too close" to the subject matter.
Spoke today at a local college & was called "too subjective", which I hear a lot. Yet, if I said the same things as a white person I wouldn't have been questioned. Like white people have nothing to gain from a growing body of reductive research that continues to orientalize us!
Much of academia (esp in fields of anthro, history, science, etc where "objectivity" claims are paramount) has roots in accelerating/maintaining white supremacy/imperialism. Ya'll really only just as "objective" as Columbus or Vasco da Gama--the original western anthropologists.

ETHNIC CLEANSING & CULTURAL GENOCIDE IN #KASHMIR

Since the coming of #Islam to #Kashmir, since 1389 there have been 7 recorded exoduses of Kashmiri #Hindus and #Sikhs due to genocide and persecution at the hands of radical Islam.
2/n
 The first exodus OF #Hindus from #Kashmir (AD 1389-1413) was under the Shah Mir Dynasty. Tourists may not notice that the iconic Dal Lake has a mass grave of Kashmiri Hindus known as "Bhatt Mazar" or "grave of Brahmins".
3/n
 The second mass exodus (1506-1585) of Kashmiri #Hindus and #Buddhists was under Ali Shah Chak Dynasty, which made the persecution of Kashmiri Hindus a royal policy.

They boasted that they killed 900 Hindus daily for refusing to convert to Islam.

After raising protest in a letter to President Trump, now American lawmakers have acted legally against India over the #Kashmir issue urging for US intervention. What makes the report more startling is that the doc was submitted just days after #HowdyModi
greatgameindia.com/american-lawma…
On 12 Sept 2019 Senators Chris Van Hollen, Todd Young, Ben Cardin and Lindsay Graham wrote a letter to President Trump raising concerns over #Kashmir issue. Congressman Eric Swalwell said Kashmir is not just about India but has worldwide military, economic and moral consequences.
In a first step towards legislative action by American lawmakers against India over #Kashmir US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has added an appeal to end what it calls a “humanitarian crisis” in Kashmir in its report ahead of the annual Foreign Appropriations Act for 2020.

The Kashmir problem, an Anglo-American operation against India provides the culminating illustration of the hostility between India and Pakistan and the imperialistic ambition to rule over the sub-continent under the trusteeship of the United Nations.

When I was in Kashmir in the fall of 1952 some two-thirds of the officers on cease-fire line were Americans and not all of them handled themselves with discretion. Last UN negotiator was American Frank Graham & Administrator for Plebiscite Admiral Chester Nimitz.
- Chester Bowles
"Despite high caliber of these men & all goodwill in the world UN efforts to achieve Kashmir settlement took on character of an American operation. In a situation where passions ran high we have not only failed but have come in for sharp criticism." US Amb greatgameindia.com/kashmir-proble…
