A reminder for those who need it: Gaza isn’t a modern city/prison recently created to house Palestinian refugees.
It is an ANCIENT, historical place that dates back thousands of years. It is intrinsic to human history, dating to the Bronze Age.
And it’s more than a war zone.
One of the biggest problems with Israel’s siege on Palestine is their attempt to abolish anything that proves how old it is and how long people have lived there.
Indigenous people would never bomb relics and artworks that their ancestors built.

Recently, I was discriminated against at my workplace by an Isra*li couple. They had a problem with my 🇵🇸 pin, & demanded my manager force me to remove it in front of them.
After a call with legal and HR, I was told that wearing that pin was an act of “political solicitation.”
After months of stewing about this, I’ve decided to go very public about it because it’s incredibly racist, and and absolutely incorrect.
Wearing a flag is not an act of political solicitation. Being proud of your heritage is not political. And I won’t be quiet about it.
