Periodic reminder that I’m entirely self-funded. If you’d like to support my independent journalism from the West Bank—which, at the moment, has left me pretty banged up—I’m currently offering 20% off subscriptions to my reporting. You can redeem it at the link in the next tweet.

Conservo un archivio di notizie e video dalla Palestina da oltre vent'anni ma, giuro, questo video appena ricevuto è il più assurdo di tutti.
Le due colone nel video sono attiviste di "Hashomer Yosh".
(Per chi non conoscesse gli attivisti fascio-messianici di Hashomer Yosh basterebbe dire che sono stati sanzionati persino dal governo complice USA).
Ogni giorno, ogni fottuto giorno, le due donne si svegliano all'alba, invadono un terreno di proprietà di un pastore palestinese nel villaggio di Tiran a sud di Hebron poi, muniti di altoparlante, si avvicinano alle pecore e diffondono a tutto volume musica trance tedesca per spaventarle e costringere il pastore ad abbandonare il terreno.
Ogni mattina.

Mi verrebbe quasi da ridere, se non fosse tutto così tragico immaginare le povere pecore vedersi arrivare ogni mattina queste due psicolabili con la loro musica tedesca.

Mi viene in mente quel gran genio del mio barbiere Giuseppe, detto Pino.

Pino conosce bene i suoi clienti, conosce le loro passioni, le loro fissazioni.
E tra uno shampoo e una sforbiciata, tra una pennellata e un contropelo, fa sempre una domanda ad ognuno di noi su argomenti che lui ritiene siano i nostri preferiti.

Non si intromette mai nel monologo, ci lascia parlare fino alle fine e poi ci regala una sua battuta disinteressata.

Per aver accennato una sola volta a Gaza, Pino ha deciso che il mio argomento preferito fosse la Palestina e perciò, da due anni, mi tocca rispondere ogni volta a una domanda su Gaza: "Com'è la situazione lì?".

E ogni volta Pino rimane deluso dalle mie frasi brevi e svogliate, si aspetta sempre un bel discorso come quello fatto dal cliente appassionato di moto antiche ma non può esimersi dal concedere anche a me una delle sue rinomate battute.
A nessun assiduo cliente ha mai osato negare una battuta dopo un discorso.

Una volta gli parlai della Cisgiordania e dei continui furti di case e di terre.
Pino ci pensò su un attimo, poi disse: "Noi italiani, ci lamentiamo dei nostri immigrati, e cosa dovrebbero dire i palestinesi con i loro immigrati?"

"Pino, questa battuta è stupenda" gli dissi.
"È vero, è vero" rispose entusiasta William, il suo aiutante originario del Ghana.
"Non l'ho capita", disse un pizzaiolo che aveva fatto un bellissimo discorso sul lievito madre.

Pino spiegò più volte la battuta fino a quando il pizzaiolo riuscì finalmente a capirla.

Pino è felice nel vedere i suoi clienti andare via felici.

I recorded this about two hours before the settler attack on Umm al-Kheir

Dr. Abu Safiya is a hero who stayed with his patients despite the threat to his life from Israel's ruthless genocidaires. This pipsqueak Goebbels was such an embarrassment that even Netanyahu didn't want him representing his government.

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@Syria_Strategy Syfo genocide not to mention 1937 Amouda massacre and 41 attack on derik.

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@Syria_Strategy They are trying to erase 15000 years of syrian history. There are no kurdish lands in syria or cities,in fact kirds only recently(last 2 centuries) started moving to cities on mass.There is no "syrian Kurdistan" and southern turkey used to be majority syrian Christians before 1

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@CdricLabrousse Is being erased and no one bother to speak up against all the lies.
And of course all nations that plundered our history are happily supporting the erasure of land that first discovered agriculture.

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@CdricLabrousse Except it's a made name With no bases in fact or history. Imagine if syrians tried to change the names of places im france? Kurds are indo-european from iran there is no kurdish land in syria. The biggest contribution kurds in general did to syria were the massacres our history 1

مملكة قطنا (المعروفة اليوم بموقع تل المشرفة) هي واحدة من أبرز الممالك العمورية القديمة في سوريا، وتعود أصولها الاستيطانية إلى عصر البرونز (قرابة 2700 قبل الميلاد). تقع المدينة الأثرية على بعد نحو 18 كيلومتراً شمال شرق مدينة حمص، بإطلالة استراتيجية على الطرف الشرقي لوادي نهر العاصي

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@qunfuz2 Years of syrian history and nobody bother to open a book to check the facts.

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@qunfuz2 Kobani come from "company" it isn't a Kurdish word and secondly did syrians demand that Germany or France or Brazil change places names to accommodate them? Kurds in Northern Syria mostly arrived the last centur and they didn't build those towns.
The pkk is trying to erase 15k

Nine years ago, #Iraq's PM formally declared victory over the Islamic State (#IS/#ISIS) in #Mosul

I spent months covering that battle - and those before it and after it, as well. Always at my own risk and my own expense, embedded with the Iraqi forces as a freelancer.

Journalists do things like this because we believe they are important.

[B.M. @ireallyhateyou]

Two days ago, an Israeli soldier posted a photo of himself riding a child's toy motorcycle, in a child's bedroom, in an occupied Palestinian home in Hebron, West Bank.

The sticker censoring the face is from the original Instagram story.

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@CdricLabrousse One time an infamous "headchopper" got identified in a photo and he turned out to be known intelligence officer (he was alawite).

[Just Syrian @Iiuumn]

@CdricLabrousse Thing is there always was cooperation between assad gov and ISIS.I heard plenty of alawite officers saying that "ISIS is ours" and there plenty of cases both in and out of the battlefield of obvious cooperation between them.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Yair Netanyahu, son of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has reportedly changed his legal name to Yonatan Hon.

The Netanyahu family has a long history of changing surnames. Yair's grandfather, Benzion Netanyahu, changed the family name from Mileikowsky to Netanyahu after immigrating to Mandatory Palestine in the 1920s.

بدأ فلاحون في محافظة القنيطرة جنوبي سوريا، حصاد محاصيل القمح في المناطق الواقعة على طول خط وقف إطلاق النار، بعد التنسيق مع قوات الأمم المتحدة لمراقبة فض الاشتباك "أندوف"، بعد أن منعت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي وصولهم إلى أراضيهم.

وقال رئيس اتحاد فلاحي محافظة القنيطرة، عبدالرحمن خلف، إن الاتحاد تواصل مع "الأندوف" لتسهيل وصول الفلاحين إلى أراضيهم، موضحاً أنه زودها بقوائم أسماء المزارعين الواقعة أراضيهم ضمن المنطقة، بالتنسيق مع الجمعيات الفلاحية والبلديات ومخاتير القرى.

وأ��اف خلف أن "الأندوف" توجهت إلى القرى والتقت الفلاحين والوحدات الإدارية، بهدف منحهم بطاقات تسمح لهم بالوصول إلى أراضيهم وحصاد محصول القمح، وفق صحيفة "الوطن".

من جهته، أوضح مختار قرية العشة بريف القنيطرة الجنوبي، محمد عجاج الطحان، أن المزارعين عانوا خلال الفترة الماضية من منع قوات الاحتلال وصولهم إلى أراضيهم، إضافة إلى تعرضهم للمضايقات والاعتقال.
