This is worse. Looking at these you can tell they have no significant monetary value. They were confiscated as a fear tactic. Nothing more.

This picture breaks my heart everytime it appears in my dash. It’s a fear tactic, alright but—

The first one in the left corner: It’s a first communion rosary, and it’s not cheap.

The black one in the first line: That’s a widow rosary and it’s old.

The white one in the second line:  is a commemoration rosary. It has a miniature picture in the round part. I haven’t seen that since the 70′s.

In the third line, multicolor one: It’s an Anima mundi, I have only seen those in the hands of Rosary ministery’s old ladies. The oldest ones are from the 80′s after Juan Pablo II came to Mexico for the first time. It’s one of the old ones, I know because the crucifixes are different. 

The third one on the fourth line: Red and gold. The style is old, the metal is dark, that’s a 50′s rosary, probably a quinceañera one (or it’s maybe older, from the 40′s when the brides carried red roses with their offerings).

The fifth one on the fourth line: It’s a quinceañera rosary with Ignatius’s tear. The style is old and in my part of Mexico is orphan girls who used it. At least it was when I was young.

The third one of the fifth line: the blue one with the anchor. That one I have only seen in Veracruz and it doesn’t look new.

The fifth one on the fifth line: That’s a 90′s wedding rosary. Black and white patterns were popular on that date.

The fourth one on the last line: That’s a first communion rosary from the 30′s. It’s delicate and most probably silver.

The rest wrench my heart too, the humble everyday rosaries with wooden beads and knots. Those are cheap and bear the wear and tear of their user handling. But those  I described are much more.

Those are mother’s rosaries.

Those are not just rosaries. Those are mementos, that’s the proof of their families stories. They are taking from them the only portable things they can carry to feel the connection to their families.

It’s not a fear tactic. Call it like by its name.

It’s dehumanization.

I want you all to know that an Arab Muslim from Tunis proposed the Theory of Evolution near 600 years before Charles Darwin even took his first breath. Don’t let them erase you.

his name is Ibn Khaldun

Also, it was not the apple falling from a tree that made Issac Newton “discover” gravity. He was reading the books of Ibn Al Haytham, an Arab Muslim from Iraq, who pioneered the scientific method, discovered gravity and wrote about the laws governing the movement of bodies (now known as Newtons three laws of motion) some 600 years before Newton existed. Without him, modern science as we know it wouldn’t exist. Read on him. His achievements are far greater than what I’ve just mentioned here.

#no offense but arabs literally invented chemistry and algebra and we came up with the concept of the camera #the cataract operation that’s still practiced today was invented by an Arab #we created alchemy and the wright brothers used abbas ibn firnas’ findings and writings to build on to create a plane #I could go on and on and on #pls don’t erase our scientific history

I reblog this post every time I see it

We fucking replaced a Muslim scientist with an apple?

In the middle ages, THE place to go for an education was the middle East, or, failing that, Spain. The Muslim world didn’t have the same limits placed on scientific inquiry that the Christian world did, and since they were willing to look at more than just Aristotole and actually compare texts to the observable world, they had some incredible scientific and mathematical advancements. And street lights and toilets. I mean theories and algebra are great and all, but street lights and toilets. In the 12th century. Also medical advancements, and fewer rules against women studying. Hell, women *should* be the ones studying the female body, would you rather a woman see your female relatives, or some old man? Would you rather have someone who lives in the same kind of body, or one who has no first hand idea what the parts can do?

Can we just add that many leading scientists, mathematicians, and doctors from the “Muslim World” during this time were Sephardim and Mizrahi Jewish people? The Rambam (known better to Gentiles by his Greek name Maimonides) was an Aristotelian scholar who influenced and was influenced by his Arab contemporaries. Jewish scholars in general were key in translating texts from Arabic into Latin because it is a requirement to be able to read prayers in one’s native language. Let it also not be forgotten that Moorish culture (poetry, science, mathematics) was at its height during the Almoravid dynasty, when the Muslim rulers were far more accepting of Jewish people in positions of power (one served as unofficial treasurer to the Spanish caliphate, as a Muslim colleague got the official title); the establishment of the Almohads in Spain coincided with the caliphate’s decline both culturally, territorially, and in terms of tolerance. Don’t erase Sephardi and Mizrahi Jewish scientific and literary contribution and oppression in medieval Middle East/North Africa/Spain in to prop up the idea of a more advanced “Muslim world.”

Reblog if you think Finn deserves to find his family, surname, and heritage after 20 years of being an oppressed child soldier

Everyone, including myself at times overlooks the fact that Finn had it the worst than everyone else and still draws the short straw in universe and out

  • Finn grew up with no family and was thrown into a child soldier program
  • Finn didn’t even have a name till he was given one as an adult
  • Finn was raised to kill
  • Finn was at best a weapon and at worst a slave
  • Finn wasn’t allowed any individuality

Rey, Kylo Ren, Poe, Hux, Phasmsa, Luke, Leia, Han, Finn has had it worse than anyone and after he manages to escape and DOES help blow up the super weapon he just wants to be free of war and death and live a somewhat peaceful life:

  • He’s called a coward and tazard by Rose
  • Forced into another mission he doesn’t really want to do
  • Lectured on how he doesn’t understand suffering and needs to stop being so selfish
  • And finally when there is a chance for him to find even a little peace in saving his friends at the cost of his life but at last be done with fighting, he’s denied even that and told he was wrong again.

Finn’s life is made up and defined by his lack of choices, being controlled by others, and sacrificing what he wants or what’s good for himself for others. Even in the fandom.

But no, let’s just keep portraying him as a cinnamon roll who is defined by who’s last name he gets to take. He’s a happy, seeet boy with no worries.

He’s a grown ass man who’s lives through hell.

I personally ship Finnrey, but I’d be just as happy if instead of ending up with anyone, Finn finds his family.

Maybe he was a child stolen from Jakku and since it’s clear from Rey the universe doesn’t care about Jakku, no one ever asked where he went. Plus the irony of Finn being from Jakku would be Rey and Poe both giving Finn a knowing shit eating grin that he’s from the planet he constantly talks shit about.

Maybe Finn is a Mandalorion and has a family in Sabine Wren. Because why not? Rey can be everything from a Skywalker, to a Kenobi, Emperor’s grandaughter, but Finn, an elite soldier with a natural gift for fighting and adapting to any situation can’t be from a civilization of warrior?

Maybe Finn is related to Windu, or Lando, or maybe he’s royalty and is actually a prince. Maybe he’s just some kid stolen from a simple family who miss him.

Regardless, Finn deserves his OWN story arc, family, and happy ending.

Who

The FUCK

CARES?!

they deliberately left out Danny Glover, Whitney Houston, and Mariah Carey and forgot to mention that Sandra Bullock and Jeff Goldblum have Jewish heritage

In a story important to Jews and Christians, they hired Jews and Christians

Also completely left out Ofra Haza who played Moses’ mother and is legit 100% Israeli.

You guys are fucking exhausting.

The Prince of Egypt: *consults with countless scholars from all three Abrahamic religions to make sure they were telling the story correctly, hires notable black and Jewish talent for the voice cast, taps the guy who played Coalhouse Motherfluffing Walker in “Ragtime” (a show all about racial tensions in America) on Broadway to sing one of the film’s most beautiful songs, taps the same Israeli singer to reprise her role as Yochaved in almost every foreign dub of the film, and is generally much more respectful to its source than any live-action Biblical epic released in the past fifty years*

It’s because the kids aren’t white

Obviously what’s happening to these kids is horrific but should we really be calling them concentrating camps though? What do Jewish people think about this?

Hello, Mexican here. They are fucking modern day concentration camps. Children, even infants, are being ripped from their homes, forced into overcrowded abandoned Walmart’s, with only 2 hours a day of outside time. This is no way for children to live. There is a mural on the wall of Trump with the quote, “Sometimes by losing the battle you find a way to win the war.” Do you know what people call shit like that? Propaganda. You can fuck all the way off. I cannot fucking believe you chose to fucking nitpick how this humanitarian problem is discussed because you’re uncomfortable with the horrors happening right before our eyes and would rather call it “problematic.” I can’t fucking stand gringos for bullshit like this.

Hi, Jew here! They are concentration camps and any Jew worth their history will tell you that. The Trump murals, the “we’re just going to take your baby for a bath”, the photos of confiscated rosary beads, the older children taking care of younger children they have no relation to because there are no parents around.

We see this shit and it sends chills up our spines because that was the kind of shit gentiles ignored because it wasn’t “that bad”. It wasn’t “that bad” when they were just confiscating our wedding rings and throwing them into a pile because we were “prisoners”, because it wasn’t “that bad” when they were separating children from their mothers to put them into a separate barracks, because it wasn’t “that bad” when little kids were having to flee through Kindertransport without their parents. 

This also isn’t the first time this has been done in America. The Japanese were held in concentration camps here during WWII. And what’s happening now sounds strikingly similar to that as well. A concentration camp is literally just a place where you concentrate a certain group of people against their will.

Hi, not every Jew thinks the same way. I don’t like the term and I also don’t like what’s happening to these kids.
