This afternoon, a silent processional marched through midtown Manhattan.
The processional, organized by ‘Jewish Elders for Palestine,’ stretched for 2-3 blocks and passed through Times Square.
Many participants cradled white bundles symbolizing dead Palestinian children.

“This place, @bluestockings has saved lives, period.”
These services, however, may get the store evicted. In late October, Bluestockings received a 15-day “notice to cure” from its landlord…

Al-Jazeera reporter: Israeli bulldozers shot and ran over pregnant women in labour. They were carrying white flags and attempting to reach a hospital in Tal Al Zaatar, Gaza.
This is heartbreaking. A woman in Warren, Ohio, has been charged with abuse of a corpse for trying to plunge a toilet after having a miscarriage at 22 weeks while using the restroom.
This reporter on AlJazeera is talking about how terrible and awful it is to see the children who finally started returning to normal be absolutely devastated after the bombing started again and to watch their eyes change and seeing them realize their parents cannot save them. . .
Today I talked to Hala (my cousin’s daughter) who’s the only survivor of her family. Hala is 8 years old, she doesn’t talk about what happened and she doesn’t speak with anyone since. I haven’t been able to speak with her since they were killed over a month ago. Hala lost both her parents, her 3 sisters, her grandparents, her two aunts, three uncles and all of her cousins that were in that house. I have thought many times about what I would tell her when I call her for the first time. I haven’t spoken to my remaining family who are still alive for over two weeks until today. Because of the “fake truce” I managed to video call them today as they had internet connection for the first time. Hala was next to my uncle and saw my picture on the phone. I kept asking for her multiple times. She then took the phone and went into a dark room to talk with me alone. I froze. I just kept saying Habibti Hala I miss you so much I love you so much. I couldn’t mention her family, and I genuinely didn’t know what to say to an 8 year old who just lost her whole family. I just talked to her about how I want to visit her soon and how much I miss her and all the toys I bought for her and I asked her if she wants anything in particular and she told me “I just want to see you and come live with you far away.” It broke me so much. I held my tears inside my chest and wondered what on earth did this little girl do to deserve all of this pain. I kept trying to think of things that will excite her but she was very quiet, not the Hala I once knew. Not the happy Hala who gets excited at the most simple things. Not the Hala that laughs with her whole heart, but a new Hala who’s barely able to smile. I told her I’ll take you to the best amusement park and she was shocked and said “oh you have that there?” Her little brain cannot comprehend that life is normal outside her home. All she can picture is destruction, bombs and dead parents and sisters. I wish I can hide this little girl in my heart from this cruel world forever. Hala is one story only, there’s more than 1 million children in Gaza who’ll grow up with so much trauma and unimaginable losses. Our hearts cannot bear all of this pain.
The 5 day cease fire is welcomed. We need a full cease fire.
Something to keep an eye on. The cease fire coincides with the long holiday week in the US.
In addition, Israel has rolled out a massive PR campaign, which was evident this evening by watching TV.
So, for 5 days Americans will sit at home, watch football, and get flooded with pro-Israel ads.
Meanwhile there is no bombing, and the timelines on social media platforms will probably have pictures of turkey and pies.
It’s important that you keep posting and speaking out about the ongoing genocide. This 5 day agreement is not the end of things.
Every day I check to see if the e-SIM is still active. Am so grateful it continues on ❤️ #ConnectingGaza
Thank you @Mirna_elhelbawi for the opportunity to help!!
HAPPENING NOW: The same US military ship taking weapons to Israel that was in Oakland is now being protested by hundreds at Seattle/Tacoma port. Because of these protests, a worker ON THE SHIP is now wanting OUT, refusing to participate in genocide. Our protests are moving people

Our member Ju-Hyun spoke at the National March on Washington for Palestine on Nov 4 organized by @palyouthmvmt@PeoplesForumNYC@answercoalition and others.
As Korean people we embrace Palestinians as our siblings in a common struggle against imperialism.
Headline "Explosion Gazans Say was Airstrike Leaves Many Casualties in Dense Neighborhood"
@nytimes isn't sure where these explosions came from. They could be spontaneous 🤷🏽♀️
Probably NOT by the IDF burning people with white phosphorus & dropping the equivalent of a nuclear bomb
