Reporting from Al-Nusairat refugee camp.
A residential tower was targeted by an Israeli air strike.
Many people were killed and injured including children and babies.
Civil defense workers are still trying to rescue people and extract bodies from under the rubble. Horrific scene as usual

Oakland’s own Shauna McQueen is the Exec Dir at https://t.co/nHtDo6ujUx, a charity for the homeless in Las Vegas w/ great success to find permanent housing. If you can, donate to this super-worthy cause under supervision of a super trustworthy leader.

This type of harassment never gets reported, but it’s shameful and disgusting. People in our country have a right to wear whatever scarfs they want to wear and people following them and making them uncomfortable is just wrong and discriminatory. Palestinians exist and need us to fight for their liberation.

@ShaykhSulaiman Permanent ceasefire and release of hostages and prisoners in Israel is the solution. Israel must leave all occupied areas

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

BREAKING: HAMAS OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON CEASEFIRE

“Based on our responsibility towards our patient and steadfast Palestinian people, and our tireless endeavor to strengthen the steadfastness of our heroic people in our proud Gaza, to provide relief and heal their wounds, and to consolidate the will of our victorious resistance on the seventh of October in the face of the Zionist enemy.

After difficult and complex negotiations for many days, we announce, with the help and success of God Almighty, that we have reached a humanitarian truce agreement (temporary ceasefire) for a period of four days, thanks to persistent and appreciated Qatari and Egyptian efforts.

Accordingly the terms set out are:

— A ceasefire on both sides, a cessation of all military actions by occupation forces in all areas of the Gaza Strip, and a cessation of the movement of its military vehicles penetrating into the Gaza Strip.

— The entry of hundreds of trucks of humanitarian, relief, medical and fuel aid into all areas of the Gaza Strip, without exception, in the north and south.

— The release of 50 women and children of the occupation’s detainees, all under the age of 19 years, in exchange for the release of 150 women and children of our people from the occupation’s prisons under the age of 19 years, in order of time imprisoned.

— Stopping all occupation air traffic in the south for four days.

— Stopping all occupation air traffic in the North for 6 hours a day, from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM.

During the truce period, the occupation is committed not to attack or arrest anyone in all areas of the Gaza Strip.

— Ensuring freedom of movement of people (from north to south) along Salah El-Din Street.

The terms of this agreement were formulated in accordance with the vision of the resistance and its determinants, which aim to serve our people and strengthen their steadfastness in the face of aggression, and it was always mindful of their sacrifices, suffering and concerns, and it conducted these negotiations from a position of steadfastness and strength in the field, despite the occupation’s attempts to prolong and procrastinate the negotiations.

While we announce the arrival of a truce agreement, we affirm that our hands will remain on the trigger, and our victorious battalions will remain on the lookout to defend our people and defeat the occupation and aggression.

We promise our people that we will remain loyal to their blood, their sacrifices, their patience, their bond, and their aspirations for liberation, freedom, the restoration of rights, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, God willing.”

I’m sorry. I’m sick of seeing these images and don’t want to share them. But how can we live in a world where we can state that this is self defense??

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Jenin is in the West Bank. And Hamas is not in the West Bank. So Israel is attacking a hospital and they can’t try to justify this atrocity by claiming to be going after terrorists. This is just what they do.

[Voice of Rabbis @voiceofrabbis]

What Zionists cannot tolerate is the friendship between Jews and Muslims.

Torah Jews were among their fellow Muslims at a rally to protest Israel's genocide, and Muslims welcomed them very warmly.

Jews and Muslims are at peace in friendship.

Muslims are not enemies of Jews.

@jacksonhinkle It took 75 years for the IDF, CNN, BBC and the Western media to create the narrative that every resistance organization that opposes the interests of the West and the US is a terrorist.
It took the IDF, CNN, BBC and the Western media 40 days to prove who the real terrorist was.

Large Jewish-led protest at the federal building in Oakland, calling for a ceasefire. Organized by @jvplive and others. @Oaklandside

[Darwin BondGraham @DarwinBondGraha]

Police have completely closed off the area around the federal building in downtown Oakland, where hundreds of protesters are staging a sit in, calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.

[Nikki Fortunato Bas, Supervisor @Nikkiforallofus]

Community – I am urging @POTUS President Biden and our members of #Congress to call for an immediate #ceasefire. I thank @RepBarbaraLee and others who are already following the will of the majority to end the violence in #Gaza.

A story of Olives and Cactus:
“Wherever you see cactus, know there was a Palestinian village in that place ” . That’s what they tell you if you ever visit the West Bank. Israel has been removing, bulldozing , erasing villages and cities for decades to terraform the land . But the problem is , Cactus keeps growing back . No matter how they try to destroy the land and the soil and build their settlements , cactus keep coming back.
A friend of mine just came back from there carrying a gift for me : Locally squeezed olive oil from a her village in the West Bank . “Forget the commercial stuff you buy from stores. We squeeze oil in our own villages.”
They squeeze the olives on the stone mills, use clean dedicated straw bags to squeeze it on the extruding machines . Same process that has been done for 100,200, 400 maybe 600 years . As old as these trees. You take a product of the land , squeeze it to its limits and you get that pure green gold.
A healing potion of life .
“Just put some oil” is the answer for everything in Palestine. Hungry ? Add oil. A bit sick ? Rub oil. Want to feel better about the world? Oil as old as the earth is there for you. They are not just olive trees. They are family . They are there to feed you , heal you and take care of you. How can you uproot a member of the family and call this land yours ? I have no idea . The trees don’t agree with that . And cactus definitely don’t agree with that. Maybe we got it all wrong! Maybe olive trees are not just an extension of Palestinian heritage. Maybe, Palestinians themselves are an extension of the land . They are like the trees . You can beat them , you can pressure them , you can squeeze them and push them beyond any human limits. But they don’t die . Like crushed olives that produce green gold. And from death, a million lives will be born. And their pain will eventually be the healing potion for all of us.
And if you try to uproot them , they won’t go away . You think they will. But they come back. Like cactus . To defy you , to stand up for you , take your abuse and prick you back. They are there , to stay . Forever
