🕊️ Before Zionism, this is how Jerusalem actually was.
A Christian grandmother born in the city explains how Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived together as equals no second-class citizens, no checkpoints, no occupation.
Then 1948 came.
Zionist forces attacked Arab residential areas.
Her family was forced out.
Like ~98% of the Christian residents of West Jerusalem.
She ends with the line that hits hardest:
“Our homeland is gone…”
This is the history they work overtime to erase.
Watch every second.
Then ask yourself why this testimony is buried while the opposite narrative is amplified everywhere.

WOW.

AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.

This is very HARD TO WATCH.

This is beyond horrifying.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Among them:

• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.

Israel isn’t “defending itself.”

It is wiping out Palestinian life.

🚨This short film exposes the true story of Israel's creation, entirely through the words of its own founders

For decades, Israel’s lies have been carefully designed to demonize its victims. To ensure that no matter the crimes it commits, the children it slaughters, the world remains incapable of empathy for Palestinians, or at best, treats it with the same apathy that has allowed this to go on for as long as it has

On the 78th anniversary of its creation, it's time the world knew that Israel's past is not different from the brutal present the world is finally seeing

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

Israeli settlers blocked children in Masafer Yatta from playing football on their village field threatened with demolition. The settlers sat before them chanting in Hebrew to intimidate them, while the children watched helplessly. How much longer will this continue?

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Israel is now killing so many people in Lebanon so regularly that the media has lost interest. Much like it did in Gaza.

In 1977, Sylvester Stallone explained why he wrote Rocky and how he convinced Hollywood to let an unknown actor play the lead.

When asked why he wrote the script, Stallone described what he saw as a problem with the films of that era:

"I felt at the time that cinema, at least the movies I had been seeing were at an all-time low. It was everything was anti-society, anti-Christ, anti-government, anti-everything. And there was no one to root for."

He believed films move in cycles, and he wanted to bring back something that had been lost:

"I wanted to get back into the cycle of the films of the 40s and the 50s where people say, 'Hey, gee, I missed the good old films.' Yet Hollywood hasn't taken heed and hasn't made any good old-fashioned type films where morality was at the forefront."

Up to that point, Stallone's career had been built on tiny roles, what he called "atmosphere":

"I was mostly what is known as atmosphere, always in the background or the guy that was being the drunk that was being stepped over in the gutter and other lame roles."

Writing Rocky was his way of giving himself one real shot before disappearing:

"I felt that gee, if I was going to go down at least into professional obscurity, I wanted to at least have the opportunity to say to myself, well, you tried. You put your best foot forward and you didn't make it."

He knew the character had to match what he could authentically play:

"I surely couldn't pass myself off at least as a lawyer in a three-piece suit. I just don't think I have that kind of appeal or whatever it is. So I wanted to take it much more basic. A man from the street. All right. What kind of a man? An underdog. And that being a professional fighter I think has that connotation to it."

When the script reached studio executives, they wanted a star.

They floated James Caan, Burt Reynolds, Ryan O'Neal, Gene Hackman, and Robert Redford. Stallone's pitch for himself came down to persistence and economics:

"Usually it's the old syndrome of knocking on the windows, pestering them, pressing my face in the door, honking their horn in the driveway. In other words, making a real pain in the neck out of myself."

"I kept saying I work a lot cheaper and a lot harder and for a lot longer."

The film was eventually made for $960,000, which Stallone described as roughly the cost of "a good toothpaste commercial."

The israelis killed her: the little girl whose only weapon was a heavy plastic container of water that she’d queued for hours just to acquire

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

How many more Lebanese need to be murdered? How many more children need to be killed? How many more journalists and health workers have to be killed? How many more people have to be displaced? How many more hospitals and schools have to be bombed? Before we force Israel to stop?
