This is a children’s book that was written because the author was trying to explain what’s going on in Israel to his five-year-old daughter and he couldn’t find a resource with which to do it so he wrote one himself. Under the Rockets' Glow: Shira's Journey to Courage by Roman Sandler is beautiful and I recommended highly.

Hey Mayim, let me tell you about how I understood what was going on as a child. No one explained it to me. No one read stories to me.
1. I was tear-gassed at school when I was 6 years old(the whole school).
2. My first classmate was killed when I was 8.
3. My neighbor was assassinated when I was 9. (I cried that day.)
4. Around 20 soldiers stormed our neighborhood and wanted to arrest me and my little brother for interrogation (I was 7 and my brother was 4).
5. They stormed our home more than 8 times (I can recount them to you as if they happened this morning).
6. They arrested my father and made me put my hands on a wall when I was 7. (It was at the Shejaia entrance, and I still remember my white sneakers.)
7. They shot at us while we were playing on December 22, 1992 (I was turning 8. I remember because it was my birthday).
8. They arrested my oldest brother when I was 5 years old.
9. I was forced to shower in cold water or very hot water because Israelis used a mechanical stone-thrower that broke all windows and solar panels (which we used to warm water) - that's why I hated showering for some time.
10. They woke us up in the middle of the night a few times. Once, I opened my eyes at the age of 6 to feel a soldier's boots near my head and his gun in my face (I was sleeping on the floor).
@tksshawa@aaronjmate Palestine has been a terrorist state for decades. If you don't understand that then you don't get why Israel has had to defend itself.
Now after October7 Israel WILL take over Palestine bcs it has to.
Why would you give equality to terrorists?
@mtaibbi Everybody can read this & decide whether they believe the 2020 election was rigged.
Even if you believe what the Dem controlled media that Trump was Hitler in disguise abusing legislatures to change rules or ignoring the constitution is wrong.

@AdiscoOn@mtaibbi Bro. Here's the map of what the real traitors to our country did... "for our own good" of course..
Trump's narrative is a strawman created to draw the publics attention to him. Down the road the truth come out & nobody cares..
https://t.co/4NMFOqfX8I
@lizzybetsdad@mtaibbi No. Its about using Trump as a strawman so the public goes after him while the real criminals slip away.
Written as if what they did was a good thing for the country, this article charts who what where used/abused legislatures to fix the election process.

@Kazanir@mtaibbi Yo!..
Ever here of bait and switch?..
They Frickn admitted to doing what they accuse Trump publicly of doing..
This was from 2021. NOBODY picked it up..
https://t.co/4NMFOqfX8I
@mtaibbi Yo! Remember this? 2021..
This should have been (if this was the 90s or before) a Pulitzer winning piece, BUT the article instead reads like major corporate/public figures in secret meetings to control the outcome of a US election was "to protect you."...

We didn’t ask for Democratic censorship requests - we found them organically when looking through things like 2020 election Slacks and searching topics like Ukraine. The only “directed” search was about the Hunter Biden laptop, only because it was a known censorship incident
@An_Abyss313@DrMadsGilbert@aaronjmate@kthalps October 7 WAS an actual attempt at genocide.
Hamas embedding itself with civilians (Rafah etc) & forcing then to stay while they escape into tunnels & people get blown up IS A WARCRIME.
Hamas controlling the distribution of intl aid & making people starve IS A WARCRIME.
@khawatiri2222@DrMadsGilbert@aaronjmate@kthalps Why is it Hamas turns up everywhere civilians are?..
Why is it Hamas controls distribution of aid & food/water inside Palestine, but people never seem to get what they need?
Is it maybe that Hamas wants civilians/children to get hurt so they have propaganda to use on you?
@DrMadsGilbert@aaronjmate@kthalps So funny how you put what Hamas does to people onto Israel & then repeat to the point where that becomes your reality.
No matter what you say tho, you decided to defend rapists & child abusers. You decided to believe their propaganda.
Your reputation is over.
@CarymaRules JC they were "journalist" that died in Gaza. Why don't ppl get this. There isn't anything that happens in Palestine that Hamas is not involved with or embedded in. Why? Because Hamas has governed Palestine for decades. It's generational.
@MaxBlumenthal@aaronjmate@voxukraine Honestly you and #QAaron are pathetic.
And you as well as the other #UsefulIdiots will always be the laughing stock of journalism.
You rolled the dice on Hamas and lost big time.
You chose to support & defend rapists and child abusers.
You're done always & forever.
@ElementsOfGaza@aaronjmate Too bad Hamas ruined it for everybody.
Don't worry Israel is going to make it better, secure Palestine with a new border & over time there will be no more terror in this region.
Hamas terrorized Palestine for decades. It's time to reject their plan for Islamic State.
