False! Watch the film “Gaza Surf Club” by Philip Gnadt. Gaza had the largest surfing community in the mediterranean per capita before you turned it to ashes.
This morning: Israeli occupation forces execute a pharmaceutical sales representative at Beit Einun intersection east of Hebron, occupied West Bank.
Basil Al-Mohtasib panicked and stopped the car when he encountered Israeli soldiers, who proceeded to execute him in his vehicle.
Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity’s darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands - and enforces - an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.
I've known Refaat Alareer (@itranslate123) since I was 17. He taught me my first English writing course. More than a teacher, he was a mentor, a friend, and he truly cared about his students beyond the classroom. His passion was the English language, but he didn't teach it as a means of disassociating from society, as is common among many English-speaking upper and middle classes in the third world. For Refaat, English was a tool of liberation, a way to break free from Gaza's prolonged siege, a teleportation device that defied Israel's fences and the intellectual, academic, and cultural blockade of Gaza.
When Refaat taught English to me and my friends, he ensured we read Malcolm X, or el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, as he often reminded us to call him. He emphasized that learning a language requires understanding its culture and being critical and mindful that language is not free from questions of power and representation.
Refaat's journey in learning and teaching was filled with struggles. His life was challenging, marked by significant family losses. Yet, he persevered, fought back, and wrote back. One day, many of us, as Refaat's students, will share parts of his story. However, today, let's remember that Refaat has a family in Gaza mourning a loving father and husband. If we owe Refaat anything, it is to continue our fight until a ceasefire is achieved, until the destruction in Gaza ceases. So, #CeasefireNOW!

BREAKING: CHILD HOSTAGE MUHAMMAD NAZZAL SPEAKS OUT ABOUT ISRAELI ABUSE
“Elderlies died and they were stomped and beaten.
They broke my arm and finger last week.
They beat me again today.
They did not provide any medical treatment.
The Red Cross only today treated my arm.”

The testimony from these boys should be front page news. They're describing beatings during their transfers from prison, freezing conditions in the prisons, denial of food. The female prisoners have also been corroborating similar stories.
🇵🇸🇮🇱 Piers Morgan asks professor @normfinkelstein how he thinks his parents, who were both Holocaust survivors, would’ve reacted to October 7th.
“They [his parents] had the right to hate the people that destroyed their lives, and the people of Gaza have the right to hate the people who destroyed their lives.”

Palestinians used the (Pause) of the war to check their houses that got destroyed by the Israeli occupation
At least they are alive, nothing else matters and the baby cries for feeling hungry not for being injured.
What it’s about when you don’t have any options?
You have to choose between bad things and the worst!
Solitary confinement is TORTURE. I can relate very well to that despite spending only one year in an underground tiny one. You lose your cognitive abilities. Processing what people say around you takes a few seconds. That may explain why he seems lost. May the Almighty help him.
Zionists created a cookbook to teach “fresh-off-the-boat” Western settlers how to use local produce and spices unfamiliar to them. “How to Cook in Palestine” is the European or American housewife’s bible on cooking in their new land of Israel according to its author, Erna Meyer.
The way the Nazis used the swastika, a religious symbol, and turned it into a hate symbol, and now the israelis are using the Star of David, a religious symbol, and turned it into a hate symbol.
History is simply repeating itself and people are blind to it.
Imagine the level of heartache for a child to really feel this in their core and mean it. It should shake every fiber of humanity in you to hear her voice.
so much of the western empire runs on slavery. and yes, i mean even now. seeing children at the cocoa farms with my own eyes changed my life. til this day i don’t like chocolate and try to avoid it as best as possible.
i’m hoping that collectively we are going to change this.
I like how zionists are now exploiting the fact that most of their international supporters don’t speak Arabic or Hebrew.
This is the fakest video I have ever seen, from the extremely clear Hebrew accent that leaks in even more when she speaks Arabic, to the odd filming trying to get the sign in the back and even the obviously fake airstrike sounds being added.
To put into perspective how she sounds, it’s equivalent to an Indian call centre scammer with the most obvious accent trying to convince you he’s from California.
