The fact that this looks so incredibly believable, yet moves in a way that only a zoologist would be able to tell is unnatural (flexibility, speed, & blinking details that are all either impossible or unrealistic for the species), is going to make life MISERABLE for many people🧵
Olive trees for Palestinians and Mulberry trees for Armenians are both symbols of resistance. Like Olive trees, Mulberry trees can live for thousands of years. In Artsakh, the azerbaijanis systematically destroyed Mulberry trees just as the israelis did in Palestine.
Woah this is news to me… apparently carrying out military attacks against a blockaded civilian population with the intent to force them out of their homeland constitutes genocide. Very glad that we needed the court’s confirmation!!
I keep thinking about this. When my grandfather and his family escaped massacres in Mardin, they took their key with them to Palestine. When zionist militias forced him out of his home in Jerusalem, he took his key with him. He held on to both keys of his homes until he passed.
Israel has destroyed over 800,000 olive trees in Palestine since 1967. This ecocide has been likened to the slaughter of the buffalo by white settlers on the American continent. The colonizer's goal is always to break indigenous people by severing their connection to the land.
This line. This is one of the most haunting lines I’ve ever read. In 15-20 years people will remember this line and will have to confront the reality that they stood by while the world rained death and destruction upon Gaza.
So the fake beheaded babies story was credible enough to run on basically every front page in the lane but the we need to be very cautious about whether the people bombing Gaza bombed Gaza. Got it.
Read this and then read it again.
This is a campaign of indiscriminate and utter destruction of densely populated areas inhabited largely by civilians, half of them children.
An IDF spokesperson said:
“The emphasis is on damage and not on accuracy.”
