The silent Apartheid in the Western world
Are you a westerner and ever wondered what it feels like to live in an apartheid state?
Well, in only 5 years, we have tasted two different apartheids. Let me refresh your memory.
2020 – Do you remember that virus? In only a few days, the whole world was shut down. It took us around a year for the first vaccines to be created. This article won’t debate if the vaccines were useful or not, but I will clarify the rift it created in the societies. The rift it created between friends and families. The Western world at least was soon divided into vaccinated and non-vaccinated people. Just like Palestinians and “Israelis.” Even so, vaccinated individuals were still as likely to get infected, to be infectious for others, and still had the same risk to die from COVID or to suffer from its consequences; they enjoyed better rights than people who weren’t vaccinated. They enjoyed check-free stays at restaurants and hotels, in parks and museums. All those rights they enjoyed while the unvaccinated had to get in long lines to get their 24-hour pass after being tested for COVID. While a vaccinated and unvaccinated infected person posed and suffered the same risks as the other, the vaccinated enjoyed much more rights while the others' freedom was restricted overnight. Awfully like Palestine, isn’t it?
The second apartheid we are witnessing in the Western world is the apartheid of politics. Overnight, two camps were formed: Pro-Israel or Pro-Palestine. And one of those groups enjoys much greater freedom than the other. While the other gets deported and fired for speaking up, gets beaten, shamed publicly, or even killed for speaking up against a senseless slaughter committed against the Palestinians.
All I can tell you is this:
The trenches of Salman the Persian have become underground missile cities. The birds of Yemen (drones) are aiding Palestine on a near-daily basis and halting the world’s economy. The US is willing to sacrifice itself and the world for a single few… Just like apartheid intends.
Stop apartheid in all its forms!
Labayk ya Allah!

PS: for those who call me anti vaccer. No i am not. I myself am vaccinated.
I am not denying the effectivness of vaccines. I am calling out the unjust limitations of freedoms set upon non vaccinated people that were unjustified compared to vaccinated people as they werent that much safer from infecting others.
