🚨This short film exposes the true story of Israel's creation, entirely through the words of its own founders
For decades, Israel’s lies have been carefully designed to demonize its victims. To ensure that no matter the crimes it commits, the children it slaughters, the world remains incapable of empathy for Palestinians, or at best, treats it with the same apathy that has allowed this to go on for as long as it has
On the 78th anniversary of its creation, it's time the world knew that Israel's past is not different from the brutal present the world is finally seeing
The first woman in space wasn’t a billionaire.
She was a Soviet textile worker.
The Soviet Union looked at a factory worker and saw a future cosmonaut.
The world got Valentina Tereshkova.
USSR: First satellite, first animal, first human, first woman, first spacewalk, first space station, first Venus landing, first Mars landing.
USA: Moon landing.
History books: “Clearly the USA won.”
Breaking: Israel’s Supreme Court rejected the appeal against @HussamAbuSafiya’s detention & approved his continued imprisonment under the “Unlawful Combatant” law, without presenting any charges.
He remains in solitary confinement, deprived of medical care and basic rights.
I am Palestinian. These people stood for my people when governments chose silence, weapons, and profit.
If exposing complicity in Israel’s war machine is treated as terrorism, then the word “justice” has been emptied of meaning.
They are not criminals in our eyes. They are people who refused to look away.
سموتريتش يعلن إلغاء اتفاق الخليل:
"أود أن أكشف اليوم عن خطوة تاريخية استكملناها أمس، فبعد عشرات السنوات التي ظلت فيها صلاحيات التخطيط والبناء في التجمع اليهودي في الخليل وفي الأماكن المقدسة في الضفة مقيدة بالترتيبات التي نشأت في أيام اتفاقات أوسلو، اتخذنا قرارا دراماتيكيا يغير الواقع ... أمس استكمل المجلس الأعلى للتخطيط في الإدارة المدنية الخطوة، وسحب مجددا صلاحيات التخطيط المتعلقة بالتجمع اليهودي في الخليل، لقد ألغينا فعليا اتفاق الخليل، وأعدنا هذه المدينة التاريخية إلى مسؤوليتنا".
According to much of the media, the problem is hysterical climate activists and scientists - rather than the fact we are seeing heatwaves obliterating historic records every year now and it’s only getting hotter and hotter and hotter
Shapir, another company promoted at the event, is on the United Nations Human Rights Office’s list of business enterprises active in illegal Israeli settlements
Africa Israel also advertised the "Soho Jerusalem" development in the Katomon area in West Jerusalem.
Africa Israel has been involved in several projects in settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem
The company Jerusalem Real Estate (JRE) advertised projects in French Hill and Ramat Eshkol, illegal settlements in occupied East Jerusalem, in a brochure.

Tivuch Shelly, a major Israeli real estate agency, advertised property in Ma'ale Adunim - a West Bank settlement - in a brochure at the event, describing an "exciting new project just 10 minutes from Jerusalem!".
Pictured here:
Harey Zahav developers participated in the event, promoting Kfar Eldad, an illegal West Bank settlement south of Bethlehem, and Teneh Omarim, another illegal settlement near Hebron

THREAD: Yesterday we revealed details of how the Great Israeli Real Estate event in London marketed properties in occupied Palestinian territory, including illegal settlements.
Below I am posting photos from the event which serve as evidence of this:
“There was substantial evidence ahead of the event that organisers were advertising properties in illegal settlements, and clear calls from MPs and peers, human rights groups, lawyers and ordinary citizens, for the event to be investigated. Instead it was allowed to go forward and now the government is scrambling to respond afterwards"

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya’s lawyer, Attorney Nasser Odeh:
The Israeli Supreme Court issued a decision rejecting the appeal filed regarding the detention of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, and approved the continuation of his arrest under the law for an “unlawful combatant”, without bringing any charges against him, in clear contradiction with international law and the Geneva Conventions, which provide special protection for medical personnel during armed conflicts.
Dr. Abu Safiya remains held in solitary confinement in Nafha prison, under harsh detention conditions, deprived of necessary medical treatment and of the most basic rights guaranteed to him.
Mahmoud Badwan, the platoon commander of Al-Zaytoon, is identified as the armed resistance fighter in the widely shared video who is seen sprinting toward and placing a grenade over an Israeli tank, burning soldiers to death.
He also sniped Israeli soldiers and clashed with them from point-blank range as well as hitting Israeli vehicles with RPGs.
The martyred fighter fell in battle 11 days before the October 10 ceasefire.
