✝️☪️ This photo was taken in Damascus in 1899. The dwarf is Samir. He is a Christian and cannot walk. The one who carries him on his back is Muhammad. He is a Muslim and he is blind. Muhammad relies on Samir to tell him where to go, and Samir uses his friend's back to navigate the city streets. They were both orphans and lived in the same room. Samir was a hakawati, he had the gift of narration and told stories of a thousand and one nights to the customers of a cafe in Damascus, Muhammad sold bolbolas in front of the same cafe and liked to listen to his friend's stories. One day, when he retired to his room, Muhammad found his companion dead. He wept and mourned his friend for seven days straight. When asked how they got along so well, being of different religions, he said only this: "Here we were the same", pointing with his hand to his heart. 📷: Tancrède Dumas (1830–1905)

Israel’s definition of the “ceasefire” is to continue killing as many children as possible. These two siblings were accused of trespassing the “yellow line” and posing a threat to the terrorist israeli soldiers. In Israel’s statement, “two suspects were identified by troops crossing the Yellow Line in the Bani Suheila area near Khan Younis, carrying out suspicious activity in the ground, and approaching the forces in a way that posed an immediate threat.” Can you see the immediate threat in these two kids?

❗️A little Palestinian girl named Janna was filming herself, imitating one of her favorite internet stars, when Israeli occupation forces bombed her tent, capturing on camera the exact moment her shelter was struck in Gaza. The footage, released with an interview by Al Jazeera Mubasher, shows an innocent child trying to hold onto a piece of normal life before the explosion rips through the background. aljazeeramubasher (IG)
