Had an underwater sea clean in Sinai, Egypt was absolutely the best feeling but you have no idea how exhausting it is to Cary around a bag of garbage during a dive. Please don’t throw ur rubbish in the sea.
Long ago, I set up a Twitter list of UK political journalists.
Almost none of them are saying a single thing about South Africa's ICJ case.
Do they not think it's worth reporting on whether the UK government has potentially helped facilitate a genocide?
Really?
I can NOT find the International Court of Justice hearing on CNN, BBC, Channel 4, Fox News, MSNBC, CNBC, CBS, NBC, I24, DW, Sky News, or any mainstream US/EU TV channel...
Only Aljazeera English, so far!
What explains this unprecedented campaign of disinformation by omission?
Gotta love when a white person tries to intimidate indeginous people, using fake news and a threatening tone in favor of colonial zionist criminals.... and that white person gets slapped back with facts
#SouthAfrica rocks.
“Maybe you’re not used to women talking!”
What an absolutely disgusting, racist display of whatever “journalism” this is supposed to be. Her explicit contempt for Arab/Muslim men is indicative of how many/most journalists like her - esp white women - engage with Palestinians.
A major embarrassment for NYT's @gettleman
and his story on "How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence."
Gal Abdush is the Oct. 7th victim whose story leads and is featured throughout the NYT article. Her family is even featured as the cover image. NYT describes her as a "symbol" of Oct. 7th sexual violence.
But Abdush's sister says "there is no proof that there was rape." She also accuses the NYT of manipulating their family. They didn't know that she would be presented as a rape victim.
In other words, NYT weaponized both a dead woman and sexual violence to spread propaganda in the service of a genocide.
I know that Yoseph Haddad is lying or misinformed because I’m a Christian from Gaza.
My family is sheltering in the Holy Family church, not from Hamas, but from Israeli airstrikes that murdered my cousin at St. Porphyrius.
It wasn’t Hamas that murdered my great aunt Elham who only wanted to return home. She was sniped and left to bleed to death. The Red Cross wasn’t given permission to rescue her. And last week we discovered a tank had run her over and flattened her body. We don’t know if she was still alive when it happened.
It wasn’t Hamas that murdered Nahida and Samar Anton, my family friends, when snipers shot them and seven others in the church courtyard.
It wasn’t Hamas that confiscated our lands in 1948 when my grandfather’s home was destroyed by the Haganah. Hamas didn’t even exist until 39 YEARS after we were expelled from our homes and 20 YEARS after the military occupation of Gaza.
It wasn’t Hamas that bulldozed my family’s orchards in 2004. It wasn’t Hamas that prevented my relatives from travelling to Bethlehem to pray at the Nativity, or Jerusalem to pray at the Holy Sepulchre for Easter.
All my relatives and family friends who left Gaza did so because they couldn’t stand the suffocation under the illegal blockade. And the truth is, we’re part of the middle and upper-middle class of Gaza; we have the means to leave. And many have relatives in the “West” and in the Gulf states that they can go to. Many of the Muslim upper-middle class also left, just as they did when Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing operations in December 1947.
Despite that, I have relatives right now in the church who refuse to leave. Who will not let the cleansing of Palestine happen again to them. They say - proudly - we are Palestinians. We were born here, and we will do everything in our power to remain here.
So stop speaking for us. Stop putting our lives at further risk. And stop participating in our persecution.
I am watching this right and Refaat says the following: "Of course we always fall into this trap of saying, 'she [Fadwa Tuqan] was arrested for just writing poetry!' We do this a lot, even us believers in literature...
