I’ve been triggered.
Do Muslims in usa have ‘true’ friends?’
Americans are taught not to think. Swallow propaganda. I see hate gathering as a dark cloud over all things Muslim.
The day my best friend voted in a president who hates everything about me, I realized all my white ‘friends’ were not friends at all. I was unaware of their condescension.
I stand for justice, not revenge. Palestinians have a right to enjoy life as Israelis do. They are denied a life of dignity. As such resistance becomes completely necessary.
