@shadihamid @hasanthehun why does it make a difference to the civilians whether we blow them up deliberately or blow them up because we couldn't give a shit if they die 6.5K views · 747 likes · 28 reposts · 11 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid @hasanthehun We deliberately blow up civilian targets all the time and supply Israel and Saudi with weapons to deliberately blow up civilian targets too. We deliberately killed thousands of children in Iraq via vicious sanctions and when asked if the civilian price 19.7K views · 2.4K likes · 103 reposts · 54 replies Open on X →

It's technically true that the US has killed more civilians than al-Qaeda as @hasanthehun says but that's because the US is a superpower of 350 million people and al-Qaeda is a relatively small terror group. It's comparing apples and oranges. Also, key difference: US policymakers 300.1K views · 442 likes · 41 reposts · 626 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid The other question is: why do so many of the world's Muslims want to live in a non-majority Muslim country? We see this across Europe, too. Is there a reason? 25.2K views · 3.1K likes · 48 reposts · 38 replies Open on X →

This view is disturbingly common on the right, where it wouldn't have been 25 years ago. Here's someone who's a senior editor at The Federalist saying openly that he wants to back to a time when there were "almost no Muslims" in this country. 465.9K views · 584 likes · 71 reposts · 873 replies Open on X →

The main thing we want is to go back to when there were almost no Muslims in this country. We don’t really care how moderate you think you are, your religion is incompatible with American society. 185.3K views · 5K likes · 346 reposts · 135 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid Stop. The “fringe” has stolen the Jewish people’s safety across the West. Jews are fleeing Europe again because of your movement. Antisemitism isn’t a bug, it’s a feature in your movement. https://t.co/CQpVE74tcu 329 views · 12 likes · 1 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid Shadi, you had me right up to the last sentence. There is not ever was a genocide 261 views · 15 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid @arash_tehran Hamas “isn’t good” you are literally too much of a coward to say what they truly are because people will lash out at you. They are a death cult that are obsessed with murdering Jews and torture and kill their own people. 262 views · 10 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

I share this frustration but would be careful about judging a movement based on its worst or loudest fringes. In the pro-Palestine circles I'm in (and maybe I'm a victim of self-selection), I feel most people are reasonable and understand that Hamas isn't good. And even if they 27.7K views · 59 likes · 8 reposts · 43 replies Open on X →

Our conversation with the Christian nationalist William Wolfe was not an easy one, especially towards the end when we had a tense back and forth about whether Muslims practice "taqiyya" or whether sharia is being imposed on Dearborn.

The so-called “pro-Palestine” movement in the West does not even accept Palestinians who criticize Hamas. This movement is irredeemable. 43.1K views · 976 likes · 131 reposts · 39 replies Open on X →

I commend @shadihamid for his restraint. I was getting pissed listening, and I think I heard a little edge come into Shadi's voice at times, but he stayed very professional. 18/xx 6.3K views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

@shadihamid The pro-Palestinian movement should be led by Palestinians in Palestine & refugee camps, and everyone else should follow suit 4.2K views · 282 likes · 11 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

And of course the pro-Palestine movement shouldn't be defined by its worst fringes. In any righteous movement or cause, there will always be extremists. This is an unfortunate reality of political life. But these voices can't and don't define the larger movement. 17.4K views · 109 likes · 7 reposts · 39 replies Open on X →

The pro-Palestinian movement should be a big tent and that includes welcoming Zionists who are horrified by what Israel has done in the name of both Zionism and Judaism. 171.6K views · 277 likes · 23 reposts · 159 replies Open on X →

You can be a Zionist and oppose what Israel has done in Gaza, as many liberal Zionists do. There's nothing in the belief that Israel has a right to exist as a Jewish state that necessitates being okay with killing large numbers of Palestinians. 276.6K views · 548 likes · 54 reposts · 293 replies Open on X →
