Hey, reach out to the Jewish people you know, especially if you live in the United States.
My heart is with those who celebrate Palestine in good faith. However, it is important to recognize that yesterday, in Time's Square, people were cheering for violence against Jewish people.
Swastikas were displayed. We are seeing this online in the United States, where Jews are already at extreme danger for religiously based violence.
There are militant white supremacist hate groups that are using this as fuel. Please do not bolster them.
The guy who lives down the street from you who wears a yarmulke and goes to synagogue on Friday night is not the Israeli government.

Thoughts of a Hebrew Israelite Woman #1
Misrepresentation is one of the most frustrating things. A fact that I'm coming to experience. Between Kyrie Irving, Kanye West, Twitter and the rest of the world on their experience with the Black Hebrew Israelites.
The first thing that I would like to say is that there are two diffrent camps or thought processes of the Hebrew Israelites. The main difference would be Jesus. I'll refer to them as BHI, purely to make this easier. The ones that people are familiar with believe in the Old and New testament. So for example kosher foods. Most Christians eat pork. A very non kosher food. A common thing that I've heard is because Jesus fulfilled the old covenant, so they can. The BHI don't necessarily believe that. Or they believe the laws of the Old Testament should still be followed. Along with Holy Days etc.
Then you have the Hebrew Israelites. I will refer to them/me as HI. We follow the old testament. The simplest comparison I can make is we are like the Jews. Holy days, dietary laws. All of it. Just from being on the internet the HI don't seem to be well known. The people I meet or see online seem to all follow the BHI way. But that's beside the point.
(The more I write the more topics I want to cover.) I wanted to be very clear about this. Unfortunately everytime I see anything about Hebrew Israelites it's in a negative light. As I literally write this sentence I'm making up my mind to make a little blog series about this. So hey if you made it this far.
Next Topic: Hebrew Israelites antisemitism
I want to apologize for the people who have negatively been impacted by the BHI. I know that most people have already made up their mind. So this really goes out to the people who are going to be receptive. We aren't all like this. Nor do we agree with their methods. Israelites are a people about peace. Their methods as far as I'm concerned aren't of God. Unfortunately negativity gets the most press.
My credit is I was born and raised in this way of life

So Unmesh Kohle's Muslim friend too had a play in killing him over his post for supporting Nupur. Now his friend wasn't some uneducated muslim go on but his friend for 16 years. Unmesh had even given 1 lakh to him for his daughter's marriage and helped him financially for other matters yet when it came to his beloved prophet, he didn't bat an eyelid and killed his friend.
16 years of friendship. Let that sink in.
I am sorry but after this hindus are going to find it difficult to trust even the good Muslims now.
I love how a book can coax a friend to kill another friend.
To the man accused, I hope you never find your jannat

The attacks against Christians in Tamil Nadu rarely get counted as hate crimes or communal violence. In many cases, Murugavel said, the police broker a compromise between the aggressors and the victims. A Madras High Court lawyer and former Public Prosecutor based in Chennai said that the police also systematically downplay the seriousness of the cases. “On the occasions they do register cases, they avoid those sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) that deal specifically with religious violence such as 295 (defiling a place of worship), 295A (outraging religious sentiments), 296 (disturbing a religious assembly), 153 (provoking a riot) and 153A (promoting enmity between religious groups),” the senior lawyer said. Another lawyer who provides legal aid to persecuted Christians in the Delta region of Tamil Nadu. said that by not invoking the sections of the law that deal with communal violence, the police are able to pass off the well orchestrated attacks as conflict between individuals. “The political motivation behind the attacks is rarely the focus of the police investigation. It helps protect the leaders who instigate violence. This also helps the Dravidian parties maintain that Tamil Nadu is a secular state,” the lawyer said.

God's Love & Justice Because nothing says just and loving like sending babies straight to Heaven, after mercilessly butchering them and their mothers, and letting their virgin sisters live, so they could be 'married' by their killers.
Numbers: 31:1-18
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people. And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the Lord of Midian. Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war. So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war. And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand. And they warred against the Midianites, as the Lord commanded Moses; and they slew all the males. And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods. And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire. And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp. And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Double Book Launch: 'Religion, Hateful Expression and Violence' and ICC-commentary in English, French and Arabic - ASP22 Side Event.
Tumblr media
Digital public goods are changing the way international criminal law is disseminated, studied and consulted around the world. The Digital Public Goods Alliance has already certified a publisher that specializes in international criminal law (the Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher ('TOAEP')) and the leading e-learning platform in the field (Lexsitus), both built onto the award-winning ICC Legal Tools Database ('LTD').
Chaired by Professor Gregory S. Gordon (Chinese University of Hong Kong), this side-event discusses a significant new TOAEP-release on religious hate speech and a commentary in Arabic, English and French on Lexsitus:
Hate Speech in the Name of Religion: Are Religious Leaders and International Criminal Justice Doing Enough to Deter Such Hateful Expressions?
Online Commentary in Arabic, English and French Lexsitus: Has the Future of Digital Capacity-Building in International Criminal Law Arrived?
A side-event to the 22nd Session of the ICC Assembly of States Parties, convened by the Centre for International Law Research and Policy (CILRAP), co-sponsored by Norway, Indian Society of International Law, Coalition for International Criminal Justice, Clinique de droit international pénal et humanitaire (Université Laval), Stockholm Center for International Law and Justice, Human Rights Law Centre (University of Nottingham), Northumbria Centre for Evidence and Criminal Justice Studies, Norwegian Helsinki Committee, and Canadian Partnership for International Justice, with financial support from Justitierådet Edvard Cassels stiftelse.

@febuwhump Day 20: Knife Wound
Fandom: Dragon Age Whumpee: Female Lavellan
Summary: Getting stabbed in Val Royeux wasn't how she pictured her story ending...
AO3 Link
~~*———————————————*~~  
"Heretic! Death to the false Herald!"
The words reached her ears like they came from the Fade itself, her hands held automatically on the hilt of a blade she hadn't fully registered was there, and the hands of whomever had plunged it into her abdomen.
Then the hilt was gone and so was the figure holding it; distant footsteps leaving before she could understand where they were. Her hands were wet. Warmth spread rapidly across her skin but the rest of her body grew cold.
Miriel looked down, and the moment her eyes fell upon the blood coating her hands and clothes, the pain hit. Her legs buckled, sending her harshly falling onto stone; her bones rattling with the impact.
She could feel her body trembling. The world faded into place around her like she was only just waking up, and she wanted to return to sleep. The panic in her throat gripped her fast, the air leaving her lungs faster than she could draw it back.
Was this it? Was she about to die here, in some quiet street of a shemlen city with nobody to witness? After everything, was this what the Gods had planned? It wasn't fair. She wanted to scream, to beat her chest and cry into the wind in protest but all she could do was claw uselessly at the ground, leaving bloody smears behind and staining her cheeks with tears.
"She's waking up!"
Lavellan opened her eyes from what she thought was a blink, blurry eyes floating across the figures suddenly crouched above her. Pressure touched her stomach and the pain in her abdomen suddenly hurt like flames, drawing a cry from her throat and quickly snapping her to lucidity.
"Be still, Inquisitor." Cassandra. That was Cassandra. "You were fortunate Leliana's agents were watching you. Any longer-.."
"Now's not the time to linger on what if, Seeker. I can slow the flow of blood but I am no healer." Dorian? So that was whose hands were so tightly on her wound, "We need to get her away from here."
"I've got her." Iron Bull. No sooner had she recognised his voice than gigantic arms had wrapped around her slight frame, lifting her effortlessly. She opened her mouth to speak, to try and protest or thank them or something, but the pain had eased from whatever Dorian had done and her head swam once more, closing her eyes as her head lolled against the firm warmth engulfing her.
