Attack On Titan and Palestine

Certainly, “Attack on Titan” is not affiliated with Palestine or Israel.

However, in my view, certain aspects of the story bear a striking resemblance. As stated in Indonesian’s law, “true freedom is the right of all nations, and as a result, colonialism on this world should be eradicated, as it goes against humanity and justice”.

Attack on Titan is set to return soon.

I’ve come to the realization that what happened to the Eldian/Ymir subjects is reminiscent of the situation in Palestine.

Both are enclosed by massive walls, kept in the dark about what lies beyond. Children are told that life within the walls is sufficient and beautiful, yet the world outside holds much more.

There are no monsters on Paradise Island (within the Eldians’s wall) or in Palestine. Marley propagated the notion that Eldians posed a threat, just as Zionists did.

Eldians simply desire to live peacefully within their land (now boundaries), but that’s not enough for Marley. They seek ethnic cleansing, fearing the destructive power Eldians possess, a power erased from their people’s memories by their king, who only wanted them to live ordinary lives. Eldians can coexist with other ethnic groups if given the chance to connect with the wider world, but Marley keeps sending Titans to terrorize and kill them.

Similarly, Palestinians have the strength of their Muslim brotherhood given by Allah, but they too just want to live in peace. Zionists continue to send their armies, threaten, terrorize, and manipulate facts.

Marley feared this potential, just as Israel did with Palestinians.

Historically, Israel began as Holocaust refugees welcomed by Palestinians, only to become colonists in the end.

Marley sent colossal, armored, and female Titans to colonize Eldians, breaking their walls and allowing Titans to devour Eldian people.

When Eldians tried to defend themselves, they were labeled as terrorists, as monsters.

Eldians have the right to be free, as do Palestinians. Palestine will one day be free 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Stop genocide, stop ethnic cleansing, live side by side in peace!

End war and spread love!

Allah Ya Jabbar, the Mighty, is the One.
