The killer is that powerful and wealthy people from the Middle East know that their antisemitism is not normal to the rest of the world. They go to incredible lengths to sanitize their English media, and ex-pats studying or immigrating to the EU or the US are careful to not mention the horrific things people said around them, daily, about Jews (or women, America, gay people, or Black people). But if you know someone honest from the Middle East, or know someone that speaks Arabic, or even just study the Middle East or browse Middle Eastern state-sponsored media with Google translate turned on, you will see it. It's not a secret. But it might as well be, the way the UN and Western NGO complex pretends it does not exist at all.

This scene in a fictional movie written by someone who shares my political opinions really confirms my political opinions.

At a bar this weekend, I spoke with a random person in their young 30s. She mentioned that she and her sister-in-law have political disagreements. I asked her which subject in particular. She said: Israel-Palestine. So, I asked which side she stands on. She said she was opposed to Israel genociding Palestinians. Trying not to give away my position, I asked: What makes you say that? She said it was Israel killing 200,000 Palestinian children. I told her that was interesting because Hamas's death toll, which includes fighters, sits at around 70,000. At that point, she made it clear that she wasn't interested in changing her opinion. We have a propaganda and misinformation problem. It seems that many people have developed strong opinions based on lies. But perhaps correct information could help dispel the lies. Though, I suspect the truth doesn't matter as much as the narrative.

When you complete your PhD in literature, you are given the actual list of the 100 greatest books, which are kept secret from normal people. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to tell you what they are and, even if I did, you wouldn't understand them.

That is so insulting Quentin Crisp wasn't a 'closeted' anything he was an out and very visible effeminate homosexual at a time when you faced prison and daily actual violence
Still think one of the my favorite casting choices is Sally Potter choosing Quentin Crisp to play Queen Elizabeth II in Orlando (1992) who was a closeted trans woman at the time, in a narrative about a man magically transitioning into a woman.

If Javier Bardem really thinks Gazans are suffering a genocide - why does he look so damn smug when he talks about it?

Antique dealer is my favourite euphemism for homosexual
Actor Peter Hinwood was #BornOnThisDay, May 17, 1946. Best known for his role as "Rocky" in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). Hinwood is now an antique dealer in London & lives most of the time in Tangier. Wishing him the BEST #birthday 80 years YOUNG #rockyhorror #hunk #BOTD

I remember when I was delusional enough to believe in a two state solution. Then I watched a Palestinian parade of jubilantly showing off the coffins of the literal Jewish infants they strangled. It was like a crowd of teenage girls seeing Taylor Swift.
Honestly can't overstate how beneficial it would be to both Palestinians and Israelis and their respective supporters if they would simply make a two-state agreement and never, ever talk about history again. It's long past time to resolve and move on.

Den Schlรผssel fรผr Kรถnigsberg haben wir 1990 abgegeben und das war eine sehr gute Entscheidung.
Der Schlรผssel als Symbol der Nakba hat schon etwas Tragisches. Er steht fรผr Erinnerung, Verlust und einen Traum, der verstรคndlich ist, aber nie in Erfรผllung gehen wird und politisch an eine Forderung gekoppelt bleibt, die einer realistischen Friedenslรถsung im Weg steht.

the invention of the term "mansplaining" was like 9/11 for the autistic community

The difference between German and Japanese 'Herrenmenschen' on the one hand and Arab 'Herrenmenschen' otoh is that the former considered themselves superior UNTIL they got trounced. After that happened, they updated their priors accordingly, enabling them to accept defeat. 1/2
