Greetings from my new home, Luxembourg 🇱🇺👋 Made little posters to help explain the IB Learner profiles at school. Often use Keith’s work in the art room as it is so accessible #iteachart #internationalteaching #keithharing @ISLuxembourg

Wow…I had no idea..

UNRWA smuggled the Palestinian memory archive from its headquarters in Gaza, meaning the record of every Palestinian who became a refugee after the 1948 Nakba, to preserve their legitimate right to return and compensation in the event of a settlement..
@Rana_Sabbagh has the full story

There was a marathon in Gaza today with almost 2000 people participating. Look at the smile on the face of the runner in his wheelchair 🥹

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

3D-printed technology is being used to help Palestinian children who were injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza but their treatment is at risk due to Israeli restrictions on supplies and aid organisations.

Palestinian children were prevented from going to school by razor wire and Israeli soldiers — so they sat down and studied right in front of them

A horrific video shows an Israeli soldier assaulting a Palestinian child in the village of Al-Ygheer, near Ramallah in the West Bank, during an Israeli army raid on the village today.

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

They didn’t just confiscate them; they deliberately destroyed them! Occupation police seize children’s footballs in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque and intentionally damage them before their eyes. Oppression that knows no bounds.

[Reuters @Reuters]

Dozens of Palestinian children have been unable to go to school in the Israeli-occupied West Bank this week because of a barbed-wire fence villagers say was put up by Jewish settlers across the path they normally use https://t.co/Jiz5eDlsDu

I understand it can be hard for readers halfway around the world to absorb headlines like this over & over. Fatigue for stories of faraway grief is natural.

But every one of these families is shattered, possibly beyond repair. Please do read what my colleagues are documenting.

.@AlexCrawfordSky reports from central Beirut, where buildings have been destroyed and dozens have gone missing amid Israeli strikes.

One father searches through the rubble of fallen buildings, hoping to find a sign of his daughter's whereabouts.

One of the most terrifying scenes for children in the world.

A five-year-old girl was playing next to a school sheltering displaced people when suddenly a missile struck the area, resulting in a horrific massacre.

The girl ran in a state of extreme panic, hysterically, likely driven by the adrenaline rushing through her body, trying to escape the horror of what had just happened.

Sky News report from Lebanon,

Emergency responder one, "It was the devil (who did this). People were burning"

Emergency responder two, "I didn't know if I was in Gaza or Beirut. It was a disaster"

Emergency responder one, "As you put a piece of burger on a grill, people were grilled"

Sky News, "Israeli military say they specifically targeting Hezbollah"

Emergency responder one, "There is no Hezbollah in Beirut"

"If now, there were Jewish people here injured, and they need our help, we'll help them"

"Our message is peace"

"This area has food and beverage, and clothes. There's no military here"

"Beirut is under government authority"

"There is no Hezbollah here"

[Dr. Alaa In Gaza 🇵🇸 @2laa_kamal]

Even now, Palestinian women still pick wild mustard flowers. Holding onto life is how we resist.

[zellie @zellieimani]

Yes, those are nooses for lapels Israeli’s are wearing. Yes, it’s for what you think it means. So, yes Zionism is a racist, supremacist ideology.

We should all be sickened by anyone continuing to rationalize this behavior.

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

HORRIFIC: Video shows an Israeli soldier brutally abusing a Palestinian boy in the village of Beit Furik, near Nablus in the West Bank.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.”

Read that again.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Just watched the video of the Iranian woman filming a US-Israeli double tap strike that would claim her life. The fear in her voice is palpable but she does not stutter when she declares her testament of faith - she chose to spend her final and terrifying moments, committing herself to her faith. Her voice, its tremble and strength, brought me to tears. For the past 3 years, we have seen so much similar footage come out of Gaza, out of Lebanon - last moments caught on camera, last moments drenched in fear, resistance and a clinging to God.

You don’t have to be a person of faith - I don’t even think you need to like religion, or Islam - to understand the profundity of what we are witnessing in these moments.

These are not inevitable deaths, they are engineered.

And what we are witnessing, over and over again, are human beings in their final moments - at their most vulnerable, most alone - making one last act of defiance against a world that has decided they are not worthy of continuing to live.

there’s something so special about nature consistently being on your side. the earth doing what it can to show them they’re not alone
