Christmas Eve at the Church of Nativity, Bethlehem, Palestine 1951

IOF soldiers killed three Israeli hostages even though they were waving a white flag. Israel took responsibility and said it violated their “rules of engagement” but also justified it by saying the terrorists wear street clothes so it’s hard to know and it’s like…your soldiers saw a universal sign of surrender and helplessness and were like “they might be Palestinian so shoot to kill” and we know this is used to target civilians and not Hamas because so many civilians have reported being shot at, killed, or targeted despite clear surrender. And further collaborates hostage reports of the IOF just not showing any restraint and shooting indiscriminately.

Do you see this shit????

Seattle Public Library is doing this awesome program called Books Unbanned that allows teens and young adults (ages 13-26) access to their collection of e-books and e-audiobooks from anywhere in the USA. All you need to do is fill out a simple form and you get their Books Unbanned card. Please share this information far and wide. I know they're not the only ones to have done this, but the more the merrier!

you arent going to be capable of any meaningful kind of solidarity with anyone if your response to new perspectives or information is to pretend you already knew.

if you cant say things like “i hadnt thought about it that way” or “thats a good point” (or even, god forbid “thanks for checking me on that”) when theyre appropriate, consider whether youre actually interested in developing your understanding or if youre just invested in your political self image.

‘I wish for death’ - Twelve-year-old Alma says. She fled bombing and shelling twice before the third place they sheltered was bombed, She was rescued from the rubble only to find out both her parents and all four of her siblings had been killed. She found her 18-month-old brother in an unimaginable state. Her little brother was beheaded from the rubble after the IOF massacred them.

Seeing the reports yesterday about how as of November 27, while Israel had released 117 hostages as part of the agreement, it has taken 116 new captives from the West Bank should tell you a lot about Israel.

One reporter said something like "for every family celebrating the return of their child from Israeli captivity, another family is mourning due to the detention of their child by Israel"

Israel hates nothing more than to see Palestinians rejoice, this is why they banned celebrations and distributing sweets in the first place.
