“BENGALIS BORN IN ASSAM:
We are Indian!
BJP SUPPORTERS:
No you’re not!

KASHMIRIS BORN IN KASHMIR:
We are not Indian!
BJP SUPPORTERS:
Yes you are!”

–Waqar Nadeem Rajput

When the character & duration of India’s siege in Kashmir gets overwhelming, we focus on the little kids for whom it must be unbearable trauma. We owe children not just a future, but everything.

Kashmiris are a grateful people & routinely thank others for standing with them. It’s an honor to support one of the most important political struggles of our times that can change the course of human history for all suffering humanity. Personally, I cherish their blessings & prayers & consider them the highest reward of all for doing the right thing. I once, about a year ago, thought they saved my life from what could have been a dangerous blowout on the highway. I love their quality of gratitude but cherish those blessings from the bottom of my heart. Gives me hope I’ll be around long enough to see a free Kashmir, free Palestine, & Rohingya living free in their own homeland.

The magnificent mothers of Kashmir giving on-the-job training to stone pelters. The mothers of revolution against colonial occupation yet Islamophobes dare talk rubbish about our need to save them by bombing their homes, schools, mosques, fields, arresting or forcibly disappearing their sons!

Not real crazy about using the word ‘whore’ as an epithet & outright object to suggestions that ‘Zionists’ are the malignant force behind every evil in the world. The former is misogynist & the latter is anti-Semitic. Get real tired of explaining that so if you use that stuff, I just delete your comments. Expand your repertoire of indignation but mostly stop using women & Jews as scapegoats for your lack of understanding.

ABC News reports that according to data from the Gun Violence Archive, there were 346 mass shooting incidents in the US in 2017; 340 mass shooting incidents in the US in 2018; & 279 mass shooting incidents in the US in 2019 through August 31st.

If the US is so damn concerned about fighting terrorism, maybe it ought to bring its troops back from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, & elsewhere in Africa, & from the southern border with Mexico trying to catch refugees, & relocate them to fight the white guys modeling themselves on US special forces who are shooting up malls, discos, schools, & other public places in the US.
