🎥 “Despite having a medical referral for treatment outside Gaza, he remains trapped due to the border closures.”
Palestinians issued an appeal for 1-year-old Issam Al-Nabih, who is suffering from severe hydrocephalus that has caused dangerous swelling of his head and requires specialized treatment unavailable in Gaza.
Despite receiving a medical referral for treatment abroad, Issam remains trapped because Israel continues to keep Gaza’s crossings closed.
Gaza health officials say Israel’s restrictions on medical evacuations through Rafah have contributed to the deaths of an average of 10 patients a day awaiting treatment outside the Strip.
There is a flood of sexist comments about @AdeleShoko screaming during the attack, and I have three things to say:
1) You should absolutely scream when you're being attacked, it can throw off the attacker and attract attention
2) I'd like to see how these commenters handle a settler attack
3) Sexists can fuck right off
When the world seems close to pear shaped,
When leaders fill you with despair
When things look dark and dreary
And love seems far too rare -
CUDDLE A DUCK

This is Yisachar Holtzman.
He slashed the tires of the CNN car, smashed our windshield and threw a rock at our car. He is a "professional" settler, previously residing in a terror outpost near Hebron; now near Sinjil.
Make him famous.
Sen. Mitch McConell was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to "Alive."

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”
She's still in the Israeli torture prison btw, since everyone is talking about @RoKhanna being detained for a few minutes. Apply as much pressure as you can please.
A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war
