Israeli Soldier Mocks The Young Souls They've Been Killing.

Children aren't children everywhere.

They are martyrs in Gaza.

They are downtrodden in East Turkistan.

They are starved in Yemen.

They are laborers in Africa.

They are orphans in Kashmir.

They are wounded in Rakhine.

A street interview with Israelis about Palestinans from 2017.

These are the "innocent civillians".

People need to learn that most of the Israeli settlers partake in and support the oppression and the genocide. (I mean, "settlers" stole their homes from Palestinians to start with but that's obvious.)

Imagine spending millions of dollars to form a perception about Al-Qassam and then they share only one video of truth (which is they treated the hostages very well, from the old woman who thanked them when parting to the other old woman who held their hand, to all the hostages who made thumbs ups.) and suddenly all your perception games are done for. Must really suck to be Israel and its supporters lol.

On the other hand, all the Palestinian hostages said they were tortured, isolated, treated badly. The Israeli army told one woman if she yelled out a slogan for Al-Qassam, then they would arrest her back. The first thing she did was yell out a slogan to support Al-Qassam. They think they can win against people of integrity and courage of this level.

Israeli people are singing and dancing to the lyrics:

Gaza, Gaza, Gaza is a cemetery (×2)

There's no school in Gaza

Because there are no children left in Gaza

These are the ones left

They are an extinct species.

Someone else already corrected that Ibn al-Haytham didn't invent camera obscura but he was the first to understand the principle behind it and explain it. They even shared a link. He IS known as the father of modern optics. Sorry I made that one mistake and it was too late to edit when I noticed it. I mentioned it in the comment I made, you could find the person who corrected me from that comment and reach the link. And about Al-Khwarizmi, he did demonstrate completing the square to solve quadratic equations. Even the wikipedia page for "completing the square" specifically points him out.

I did my best to try and summarize these as best as I could and picked figures I thought would be the most interesting to read for people. I had to skip some scholars that I wanted to talk about and many things the scholars I mentioned did, to keep it simple and short.

And yeah, every civilization has its start, its peak, and its end. The Golden Age of Islam is no exception to that. There were great Muslim scholars who came after the Golden Age too (in the Ottoman Empire and other places), but not as many, because a place like Baghdad never came after that. It was one of the most populous cities, and when the Mongol Empire invaded, they slaughtered more than a million people. Libraries were burned, they tortured scholars to death. They demolished the dams on the Tigris and the Euphrates that the Abbasids had built up over a period of five centuries, depressing agriculture and slowing population and economic recovery for many centuries. Like obviously they couldn't just recover and keep doing maths. I think the loss of those libraries and that knowledge is one of the saddest losses in history.

There was also Al-Andalus alongside Baghdad, another incredible (almost unrivaled, Al-Andalus is genuinely fascinating) civilization. (711-1492) And when you consider how Europe built its riches by exploiting and occupying other countries, you gain another perspective on how it might've been more luxurious and comfortable for them without having to work as hard, in the simplest words.

And yes, Muslim polymaths were inspired by not only India but also Greece, Persia, Egypt, they translated many of their works too. Muslim scholars properly credited their predecessors and built upon what was already discovered, unlike Europe, which advanced thanks to the knowledge they got from Muslim scholars, yet a big majority of people don't know now. Some people in a subreddit might know these things but in general education/academia, they are not talked about. Many people genuinely don't know and they can't know if no one teaches them, and this is a good opportunity to do so.

Thanks for the additional information, this was fun. I quite like this post because of the information everyone has been sharing.

was talking to my mom about how white people ignore the contributions of poc to academia and I found myself saying the words "I bet those idiots think Louis Pasteur was the first to discover germ theory"

which admittedly sounded pretentious as fuck but I'm just so angry that so few people know about the academic advancements during the golden age of Islam.

Islamic doctors were washing their hands and equipment when Europeans were still shoving dirty ass hands into bullet wounds. ancient Indians were describing tiny organisms worsening illness that could travel from person to person before Greece and Rome even started theorizing that some illnesses could be transmitted

also, not related to germ theory, but during the golden age of Islam, they developed an early version of surgery on the cornea. as in the fucking eye. and they were successful

and what have white people contributed exactly?

please go research the golden age of Islamic academia. so many of us wouldn't be alive today if not for their discoveries

people ask sometimes how I can be proud to be Muslim. this is just one of many reasons

some sources to get you started:

PubMed Central (PMC)

Arabic Medicine in Literature

Google Books

A History of Medicine: Byzantine and Islamic medicine

but keep in mind, it wasn't just science and medicine! we contributed to literature and philosophy and mathematics and political theory and more!

maybe show us some damn respect

UN sent aid trucks coming to the Kerem Shalom Border Gate to enter Gaza were stopped by Israeli citizens and the passage was prevented.

A woman was shot by snipers while waving a white handkerchief and walking with her child in Gaza.

SHE WAS WAVING A WHITE HANDKERCHIEF.

WITH HER CHILD.

This is what they do. They do this all the time. This is why the Israeli hostages were shot by the IOF as well, because all they care about is killing.

Bloodthirsty monsters.

We shouldn't just boycott the brands that support Israel right now, we need to cancel them. We must never go back to consuming certain brands, because some time passes and they make a few discounts and then people forget that their owners didn't change, they didn't change. We need to cancel them forever.

NEVER go to Starbucks. (They admitted putting elephant poop inside their coffee anyway. You can buy more reliable and cleaner coffee or make it yourself with recipes you can find on the internet.) NEVER go to KFC, McDonald's and other fast food companies. (You can find local bussinesses that have healthier and probably more delicious food.) NEVER subscribe to Disney+. (You can pirate.)

NEVER forget what these companies are in reality, at their cores. We can be independent of them. We don't need anything they have to offer. They aren't indispensable. We don't have to let the consumerist values these biggest capitalist corporations of our time are trying to push onto us define our society.

This is how a wounded Palestinian, who was shot by an Israeli sniper opposite Nasr Hospital in Gaza, was rescued by a Gazan doctor and her team.
