I’m getting really fucking sick of the Palestine Movement’s obsession with “celebrity” activists and how much it prioritizes these western activists over actual Palestinians.
All the time on social media I see incidents of sone western activist living in America losing their job for speaking out against Zionism and then proceed to raise $20,000+ through a GoFundMe account in response. All of that money could have been better spent by being directly given to Palestinian families in Gaza who lost everything because if the genocide, or at the very least organizations with a good reputation for helping Palestinians in Palestine. Western activists will survive without your $100 donation, Palestinian families in Gaza won’t.
Tgis obsession with propping up the personalities of “activist celebrities” is one reason the Palestine a movement has become such a clusterfuck. I’m talking about people like Hasan Piker, Greta Thunberg, Chris Smalls, Ms. Rachel, Kehlani, and Vic Mensa to name a few. How about we start focusing on actual Palestinians? The flotilla activists are the same way: they receive so much money and support when they know full well the Zionist authorities won’t let them into Gaza, making the flotillas merely a stunt. Yeah, they were tortured in Zionist prisons but so have thousands of Palestinians who will never have their voices heard in global media.
Or, when Elias Rodriguez goes to trial in a few months you can be sure he’s going to get tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars in legal donations from Palestine activists. Gaza is suffering and yet you think giving money to a guy who will clearly be found guilty and spend the rest of his life in prison is a better use of your funds?
Celebrities and influencers should not be propped up on a pedestal at all but the same thing goes for these “I was fired for saying ‘Free Palestine’, I’m a martyr now, gib munny pls” types. Palestinians should be the ones centred here, not western activists who have made loads of money and clout for being pro-Palestine.

Algerian Jews were granted legal status to pursue French citizenship under the Cremieux Decree in 1870. Postcolonial try to argue this was a "divide and conquer" strategy by French imperialists. But the decision had actually been advocated since the 1830s by prominent French Jews, most notably Isaac Cremieux who lobbied the French government for Jewish emancipation in Algeria because he saw them as fellow jews.
Ironically many French imperialists and monarchists held a more favorable view of Muslim Algerians. They envisioned a dual political system. Napoleon III for had this "Arab Kingdom" project, a system in which Arab elites would retain a recognized aristocratic status similar to that of European nobles, while gradually reforming the feudal system to make it less burdensome for the peasantry.

The only people who care about the Palestinians are Shiites and Palestinians themselves. The Gulf Arabs are a lot of Jew traitors and white leftists just want to virtue signal.
