* PLEASE SHARE * This is the last time I want to talk about the immense harm of Khaled Beydoun & Shaun King to our community. Most importantly, I underline communal/self accountability & centering the voices of 🇵🇸 & Black folks during our struggles for liberation. 1/
Black women warned us for years about the harm of SK, as when he aired his call with a grieving mother of a Black child killed by police, without her consent. Like our martyr @itranslate123, many Palestinians quickly cancelled SK out of solidarity with the Black community. 2/
SK began heavily posting about Gaza this year till Instagram banned him, likely because as @JenanMatari explains, he disrespected 🇵🇸 bodies, showing nude photos of our men & children including private parts, despite being asked not to by Palestinians. 3/ TikTok @ nataliethehero
SK then tried to portray himself as a victim of anti-🇵🇸 censorship. Still, he not only falsely took credit for the release of Israeli hostages, but supported the Zionist ADL & an unjust 2-state solution. 4/ Screenshots are from gazzablanka on Instagram. TikTok @ nataliethehero
At the start of Ramadan, SK "reverted" to Islam & launched an "exclusive tour" with fellow non-🇵🇸 grifter Khaled Beydoun & @HCICanada. Besides glamorizing & profiting off our genocide (centering themselves/social capital), SK began faithwashing his crimes like Andrew Tate. 5/
Beydoun indulges in trauma porn/tourism, steals posts from Palestinians & promotes normalization with "good Zionists". When Gazan Ahmad AlShaer (gazzablanka) called him & SK out over grifting, they defamed him as a "coward" & "liar" respectively, sending death threats his way. 6/
Major 🇵🇸 activists rushed to defend Ahmad, including @dianabuttu, Alana Hadid, Salma Shawa (Anat International), & @JenanMatari. Like myself, they condemn the decentering of 🇵🇸 voices, & the disrespectful, threatening, divisive, & narcissistic behaviour of SK & KB. 7/
@sasa_ghada Listening to this while thinking & connecting the dots. KB seems to be responding in the same way he did in 2019 when he was called out re: the NZ mosque attack. (using other people's content, profiteering then calling them "cowards"). The repetition is suspicious 1/2
