مجزرة مخيم تل الزعتر \ August 12 \ 1976

This is who we send our tax dollars to and fight wars for.

Congrats America!

Stop whining about your $20 burritos you spoiled brats!

Yeah we all know what the real use case is here. Everyone in tech is just a different flavour of death merchant at this point.

[Abdulruhman Ismail @a_abdulruhman]

His fiancée sold her gold to search for his remains. Three years later, he returned to her alive.

For three years, Adham Al-Banna’s family believed he had been killed alongside three of his brothers. They mourned him, received condolences, and searched desperately for his body.

His fiancée sold her jewellery, and his family gathered what they could to hire a lawyer, hoping only to find where he had been buried.

Then came the miracle: Adham was alive. He had been held in Israeli prisons and was released only days ago.

His story is Gaza’s wound in miniature: families trapped between the missing, the detained, and the dead.

Please meet 9-year-old Mohammad Said Shabaan, a young soccer player and devoted fan who lost both legs and one arm in an Israeli airstrike.

Despite his injuries, he still plays soccer inside and outside his family’s tent in Jabalia. His dream is to receive prosthetic limbs and play with other children again.

These photos were taken just two days ago. I noticed he was wearing @BellinghamJude jersey.

Wasn’t that a good omen for England yesterday?

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

why aren't environmental organizations condemning this in the strongest language?

The world thought Orwell's most famous paradox to be satire, but Israel just proved it's actually literal truth:

all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.

Israel is the enemy of life itself. as long as this cancer exists on earth, no one, and nothing is safe from their hate and poison.

[Dr. Yara Hawari د. يارا هواري @yarahawari]

Yesterday, an Israeli soldier opened fire on a Palestinian family sitting in their car. He was ten meters away. It was broad daylight.

The father, a lecturer at Bethlehem University, was shot in the head. Another bullet passed through their seven-month-old baby's jaw and struck the mother as well.

The baby, Sam, did not survive.

The US used #white_phosphorus in #Falluja back in 2004 during the occupation, disfiguring genes for generations. Israel is dropping genotoxicity in south #Lebanon. . . "shared values"

@AbubakerAbedW I don't think he meant clique of people in the way you interpreted it - his point was he didn't want select people from Hamas or fateh running the show without input from the people.

The genocide in Gaza is not in the past tense. The blockade, starvation, and killing continue—this is still the present reality. Lord, have mercy.

[B.M. @ireallyhateyou]

"Jewish forces carried away 28 Arab inhabitants who were then burned alive with petrol."

Speaking of ceasefires: A British document from August 1948 refers to a massacre in the recently-occupied and uprooted Palestinian village of Al-Tira, Haifa, which took place during a truce.

A few weeks earlier (see quoted tweet), before the final occupation of Al-Tira (today the Jewish town of Tirat HaCarmel), the newly-founded State of Israel literally threatened the village's residents with a "Nakba", in what might be the first use of the Arabic term in reference to 1948.

[Mustafa Barghouti @Mustafa_Barghouti @MustafaBarghou1]

Only 9 trucks of humanitarian aid were allowed by Israel to Gaza yesterday instead of 600 according to the ceasefire agreement.
In General Israel is allowing only 20% of the agreed number of trucks (600).
While Gaza needs 1000 trucks daily.

@UNICEF
A 13-year-old Palestinian girl was denied access to education in your schools —not because of safety, not because of capacity, but because she does not wear a hijab.

Let that sink in.

In the middle of war, displacement, and trauma—where children are already fighting just to survive—an institution that is supposed to provide education and psychological support chose discrimination instead.

This is not about religion. This is not about culture.
This is about control.

A child’s right to education is not conditional. It is not negotiable. It is not something to be granted or withheld based on personal appearance or beliefs.

When you deny a child access to education over a personal choice, you are not “protecting values”—you are violating fundamental human rights.

And the hypocrisy is staggering: these “learning points” exist because of war, because children have already lost their homes, their safety, their normal lives—yet instead of protecting them, we are adding another layer of exclusion?

This is unacceptable. Full stop.

If we truly care about our children, then their dignity, their freedom, and their access to education must come before ideology, before personal opinions, before control.

No child should have to choose between who they are and their right to learn.

Do better.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel killed this little Palestinian girl in Gaza today.

They shot her while she was sitting in class inside a tent in Beit Lahia.

She was only 9 years old.

No headlines. No outrage. No condemnation.

Not a peep from the “international community.”

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

if these babies were Jewish it'd be on a 24 hour cycle. broadcasters would be screaming "holocaust" from the rooftops. their parents and grandparents, uncles and aunts and neighbors would be interviewed. we'd know about every soccer game, dance class, and school play they ever participated in. politicians would be enacting new laws, sending billions more to Israel. and so on.

western media is beneath contempt because we don't hear a peep about these young lives, just like we didn't hear a peep about the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

[Omar @omar_dddg]

Doctor friend from a hospital ER in Beirut describing some of the scenese: a toddler with a missing leg fainted from crying, mothers from all religions are wailing in corridors, an older woman with a crushed femur, not enough doctors to treat dying patients.

It’s a bloodbath.

Black Wednesday, Lebanon: You can not assess Israel without linking its present to its past, and specifically to its introduction of weapons and methods of terrorism in the 1930s. This is when Zionism planted its poison in Arab communities. This is a state which: 1) poisoned the wells, literally, of Arabs during its war of ethnic cleansing; 2) disregards the lives of every Arab at every age, and of both sexes; 3) despises anti-Zionist Jews and regards their lives as it regards Arab lives; 4) makes alliances with antisemites if they serve the Zionist agenda; 5) adheres to no treaty or agreement and considers the violation of treaties as a matter of strength; 6) encourages and pushes the West—not that the West objects— into strict, solid alliances with despotic regimes around the world because they serve the Zionist agenda; 7) instigates, encourages, or intensifies every civil war in the region; 8) adheres to a racist, bigoted ideology and regards Muslim and Christian Arabs as an inferior population just as it regards Jews of Asia and Africa as inferior; 9) supervises a racist, perverted society which laughs at the suffering and slaughter of Arabs; 10) is a society where a mere 3% of its population regarded a ceasefire during the Gaza genocide as merely acceptable; 11) uses its lobbies in Western societies to crush freedom of speech and resorts to propaganda to distorts the truth; 12) corrupts political systems in the West to ensure that subservient representatives are elected; 13) uses its wicked and corrupt alliance with the US to impose a regional order which is based on tyranny, alliance with Israel, and sectarian divisions and fragmentation; 14) accepts nothing less than the total surrender of Arabs, and is willing to kill Arabs even after they surrender; 15) wishes to empty out all neighboring countries around Palestine so that its settler-colonialist community feels secure; 16) regards lying and deception as preferable diplomatic and propaganda tools; 17) enjoyed using car bombs, truck bombs, and booby-trapped donkeys as preferred methods of intervention during the long years of the Lebanese civil war to murder the largest number of civilians; 18) firmly adheres to Bernard Lewis’ theory that Arabs only understand the language of force and oppression; 19) has successfully fooled the only superpower into thinking that Israel is an indispensable ally that is required to do its dirty work. 20) weaponizes the legitimate fight against antisemitism to ban any criticisms of Israel and Zionism. This is a genocide state that is incompatible with humanity.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

So many of you are shocked by Trump's behavior & methods.
But this is what Israel has been doing almost continuously for 80 years & you fucks kept looking the other way.
