A Twitter thread from Iyad el-Baghdadi (above), the founder of Kawaakibi Foundation and the author of The Middle East Crisis Factory
I’m a Palestinian and I do not enter conversations or debates that are premised upon my own dehumanization. Such as:
– Palestine doesn’t/didn’t exist
– Your people aren’t a people
– Go back to Jordan (or Hejaz, or Arabia)
– You are the colonialists
– You don’t belong here (this is our ancestral homeland, not yours)
– Palestinian refugees aren’t refugees
– You left your homes in 1948 and 1967 out of your own accord
– You were squatters in historic Jewish land
– Yes we kicked you out from your land but get over it, it’s ours now, get over it
