73 years of an ongoing #Nakba (catastrophe)
73 years of illegal occupation,
73 years of ethnic cleansing,
73 years of genocide,
73 years of mass expulsion.
Former US President Jimmy Carter: ′′There is no such thing as Israel, there is something called #Palestine.. & there is an entity called Israel occupying the land of Palestine".

This Ramadan, I'm holding in my heart those who are apart from their loved ones and are behind bars in Egypt today, among them translator Marwa Arafa, blogger Mohamed Oxygen, lawyer Hoda Abdelmoneim, activist Mohamed Adel, and countless others whose names we know and don't know.
BBC World Service compiled evidence on 160 cases of children shot in Gaza by the IDF
It found that in 95 cases (60%) the child was shot in the head or heart
In most cases the victim was under 12
And you will never see this on CNN or FOX evening news
If Washington is serious about peace, it must begin with reality — and three fundamentals:
1.Israel’s campaign of erasure in Gaza and the West Bank must end. Accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity is not optional.
2.This is not about managing or feeding a population. It is about freeing them. It is about ending the occupation. It is about the inalienable historic, legal, and political rights of the Palestinian people — to self-determination and return.
3. No just and lasting peace can be built around the Palestinian people. It must be built with them.

The horror of #KunanPoshpora#Kashmir will never be forgotten
Females aged from 8 to 80, r@ped & gang r@ped by #India.
Over 100 brutally molested.
Justice remains elusive.
Occupation continues.
Resistance lives on.
Remembrance is Resistence

“It was the Indian Army's ranger. We called them Mukti Bahini.
They would take girls at night and bring them back the next morning.
They butchered everyone.
They raped women, hanged them with nails hammered into them.”

We just completed our last meeting, at the Senate, for Aafia here in DC for now. Off to Ft Worth to report to her about all the people who are supporting her. @FowziaSiddiqui@Aafiamovement@mariakari1414@icna
I just dropped the Pakistan Delegation off at FMC Carswell to spend 3 hours with Aafia. I look forward to them reporting back to me at noon Texas time. @Aafiamovement@FowziaSiddiqui@mariakari1414@Moazzam_Begg I will see her for a legal visit tomorrow
It is rather sad that the PK Ambassador was running round the halls of Congress last week trying to persuade members that PK has a functioning democracy, rather than respecting the democratic will of the people & supporting us with Aafia! @Aafiamovement@FowziaSiddiqui
