Kyrie Irving says he cannot concentrate on basketball due to the Palestinian-Israeli situation

[2Quik4UHoes]

All jokes asides, why the fukk should a black man in America lose sleep over the Israel/Palestine conflict?

Because accepting this level of oppression, funded with U.S. tax dollars, enables this type of behavior at home. Not to mention the Palestinians showed solidarity with the Ferguson protests by advising them through Twitter on how to deal with the Israeli made tear gas that was being used against them.

Oppression shouldn’t be accepted, country’s that supported South Africa’s apartheid regime shouldn’t be accepted, that nativist mentality is incredibly ignorant and fully ignores the interconnected nature of resistance and struggle throughout the world. America isn’t a bubble or vacuum and it’s dumb of us to sit and act like it.

Won’t slander him for caring about other people and issues..just won’t do it.

 

[get these nets]

The intimidation still happens. You have people being 'cancelled' for criticizing Israel and then being labeled anti-semitic still. They have media bltiz on this shid like clockwork and the right-wing American infrastructure is in league with the Israeli right wing.

Israel-Palestine is becoming more of a partisan issue.

By pushing bills that punish Americans for exercising their rights to protest, people who don't care one way or the other about the conflict see exactly how Israel gets down.

If you work for the govt. or contract to them, you can lose your job for joining/promoting BDS. Free to criticize the American govt., but can lose your livelihood for criticizing/boycotting a FOREIGN govt. In states where the bills have passed.

Straight BULLshyt.

Because Israel normalizes apartheid . As long as Israel is allowed to do what they’re doing it sets a scary precedent for the future. Right now there are white people who romanticize making Zimbabwe Rhodesia again.

Meh, honestly I sympathize but not losing any sleep over it.

Sympathizing is better than apathy.

Ain’t nothin wrong if you focused on Black issues. But the Palestinian struggle is close to the global Black struggle in spirit. The enabling of Israel is eerily similar to the impunity that whites act with here against Black folk.

The Black people/police conflict has been happening for decades. What Police is doing now is not new. But of course this fakkit Kaepernick waits for it to be a trending topic to act like it’s affecting his life.

To give context

Its crazy, each Palestinian faces a different form of oppression from systemic oppression in Israel itself to neo Manifest Destiny in the West Bank to a straight up open air prison of 2 million in Gaza. All with a smidge of apartheid. With ultra racist Zionists trying to lynch them and beat them and shoot them down, with the police complicity to boot.

Israel is conducting elite levels of oppression.

I can’t wait until the day they get their shyt pushed in

Dylan Roof had a Rhodesia flag in one of his pics before he shot up Emmanuel AME. Brehs thinkin that these cacs ain’t on some global white racism type shyt are foolish. Stay on the island if you must but solidarity must be shown to others suffering similar or even worse oppression.

This is why I can't lose sleep over it, it's so much we deal with here in America.

 

[Skooby]

It's fukked up what's going on over there but Kyrie has a job to do. He should do it or retire.

I forreal saw this in trending threads ending around "due to..." and knew exactly what the rest of the title would be.

Breh, be a fukking professional.
