Israel has worked hard to portray Gaza as a barren wasteland, backwater that is a terrorist stronghold. In reality, Gaza is a beautiful city/region with a rich history that has been decimated from constant bombings and strangled by the blockade. So much of what is being destroyed by Israel are restaurants, bookshops, schools, universities, houses and much of what contributes to life in Gaza and people’s livelihoods. Places that are attached to and filled with the memories of Palestinians in Gaza. It’s not just about making life miserable for the people who live there, but about projecting a particular image of Gaza to the world. This is also similar to how the US has portrayed places like Afghanistan to justify its invasions.
When you call me a stupid hor just know that this is who you’re talking to
A released captive Amani Hashem embraces her son Adam and returns to her family after spending 7 years in occupation prison. She shared her experience in the interview.
What stuck with me is when she said: "On the rare occasions the occupation would allow family visits, they would let me see both of my kids but only hug one of them. My kids were so young they didn't understand. I'd hear the younger one saying: "Why didn't mom hug me too? Does she not love me?" That's when I realized the limitless of the occupation's evil. They stripped me from seeing my children grow up, I'm getting to know them from the beginning now."
I am speechless.
I do not understand people who see genocide and say "why won't The World do anything" and "someone please make this stop" but refuse to support armed resistance from Palestinians themselves. I don't understand how you can see the images of IOF gestapo terrorizing, brutalizing, kidnapping, and mass murdering Palestinian children and adults and not thank God that there's an armed Palestinian resistance fighting tooth and nail to destroy the genocidal regime by any means necessary. you want someone to stop this? then support the people who are fighting
Israeli occupation forces are blocking ambulances and ordering them to return as they were trying to get injured Palestinians from inside Nourshams Refugee Camp in Tulkarm city in the West Bank.
Until now, 6 Palestinians have been killed since yesterday after Israeli occupation forces raided the refugee camp.
This's a systemic behavior of the IDF, they deliberately let injured people bleed to death.
For those who don't know, this is not in Gaza. This's in the West Bank, another Palestinian territory under occupation.
قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية تمنع سيارات الإسعاف وتأمرها بالعودة أثناء محاولتها الوصول إلى الفلسطينيين المصابين داخل مخيم نور شمس للاجئين في مدينة طولكرم بالضفة الغربية. حتى الآن استشهد ستة فلسطينيين منذ الأمس عقب مداهمة قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية للمخيم.
هذا سلوك ممنهج لقوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلية، حيث يتعمدون ترك الأشخاص المصابين ينزفون حتى الموت.
“Her name is Lulu…she is scared of the loud bombing just like us.”
The beautiful children of Gaza who risked their lives to save their cat from Israeli bombing
Thinking about what journalist Momen Alsharafi said, after having lost 21 members of his family, that he is so worried about what will happen after the war.
"The question that haunts me is what should I do then? After the war, after the work pressure ends, in my free time, what should I do? What should I work on? How do I fill my free time? It's going to be long. No brothers, no sisters, no father or mother, not even the children I used to play with, my nieces and nephews."
This is going to be the reality of tens of thousands of people in Gaza who had lost everyone. Who will they go to for comfort? Who will be there to help them through? Who will they visit on holidays?
Israeli crimes aren't just what's happening at this moment, their impact is for a lifetime. Fuck israel.
