When Iyad el-Baghdadi tweeted “I’m a Palestinian & I stand in solidarity with the people of Kashmir who are being used by Hindu Nationalists as a punching bag to quench their supremacism,” he set off a Twitter storm where others are reposting his statement from Nigeria, Libya, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Australia, Switzerland, the US, Canada, Pakistan, & elsewhere. It was retweeted nearly 2,000 times & liked nearly 5,000 times. Kashmiri solidarity has finally been born.

I’m an American & I stand in solidarity with the people of Kashmir who are being used by Hindu Nationalists as a punching bag to quench their supremacism.
