Israel has killed Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al Ashqar during the World Cup as death toll among athletes surpasses 1,000

[sonan @sonaneater2]

An article from a couple years ago where homeless people were interviewed about what they lost in encampment sweeps always sticks with me. I think it's important to keep these statements in mind when people try to sell you insulting lies about humane policy.

More good news today. Mohammed’s family brought together the families of his co-defendants—the three Palestinian (non-American) kids arrested on the same bogus allegation—connected them with their lawyer, and used Mohammed’s deal as leverage for their release. They just walked out of prison and were reunited with their families. This was the quiet plan all along.

Three more kids freed from Israeli military detention; 356 to go. Onward.

I have some incredible news to share. Today, after 9.5 agonizing months, Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was released from Israel’s Ofer Prison and into his father’s arms. The Israeli military had no right to take him in the first place, and the family credits the relentless grassroots campaign that kept up the diplomatic pressure to free him. He’s in rough shape, but okay, and on his way to the hospital for treatment. Once he’s discharged, his mom, dad, brother, and sisters will have his favorite meal and a very belated 16th-birthday celebration waiting for him at home. I’ll share more details soon.

Now that Mohammed is free, the family is asking all his supporters to keep fighting for the hundreds of Palestinian children still unjustly trapped in Israeli military prisons.

The family requests privacy for now.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone — lots to be thankful for.

It is again, with not only broken, but destroyed hearts that we pray for the souls of our martyrs. Ameen Abu Dalal has been with The Sameer Project from the very beginning. He was the brother-in-law of our late camp manager and team leader Mosab Ali, Allah yerhamo. They are now together in Paradise. Ameen was loyal, dedicated, reliable, and the brother to every member of our close knit team.

Last night, during a breach of the so called “ceasefire” the occupation murdered Ameen, his wife, his young children, his three brothers: Mohammad, Bayan, and Mustafa, and his mother and father. This multi-generational family was sleeping peacefully in their building when an airstrike hit. They didn’t have a chance. Mosab’s wife Dina, who is abroad with her children after a medical evacuation for her son lost her entire family. In one moment. The occupation murdered OUR family’s entire family.

Ameen was an integral part of The Sameer Project team. Quietly, without need for praise or recognition, but with purpose and love for his people, he worked day after day to serve. He didn’t want to take days off because the camaraderie he built with the rest of the team was so important to him. His children were his world and he gushed with pride when we recently posted a picture of his beautiful daughter on our Instagram page - a representative of what should have been the future for Palestine.

And now they are gone, they are all gone. It is hard enough to comprehend the loss of one, how do you begin to understand the loss of an entire family.

This was supposed to be over. A family was planning for the future. The occupation killed them tonight. And by doing so they broke us. We are asking for prayers for our team, for our dear Dina, for the souls of our martyrs, Mosab, Ameen, his children, and their whole family.

There is no safety until the occupation falls. Glory to the martyrs.

Whether the military occupation likes it or not, Palestinians are not leaving. We will rebuild and live on our land and the 7 million Palestinians abroad are ready to go back. Support us: https://t.co/8acbhBJDN0

With the horrible news of annexation of the West Bank today, our determination will not falter. The occupation is pushing harder on Palestinians and we will push back. Our right of return and the liberation of Palestine are non-negotiable.

Palestinians in Gaza do this everyday with their willingness to keep going. Our “Yalla Na’merha” (Let’s build it) campaign, we seek to clean out roads for people to go back to their neighbourhoods and for water trucks to reach more areas. This week we cleared two sides streets in the Nafaq area in Gaza City for $7,927. This was coordinated with the municipality.

Donate to the Return Home campaign so that we can clear more roads! https://t.co/8acbhBJDN0

Do you ever wonder what you would have done, how you would have acted, during periods in history of extreme oppression and suffering?? When there is a clear right and a clear wrong. When there is an opportunity to stand up to evil and support the persecuted and the individuals burdened with undo pain. Support: https://t.co/Qq06pRHy69

How would have reacted? What action would you take? Now is your chance. History will not judge the silent immobile kindly.

16-year-old Palestinian-American Mohammad Zaher Taysir Ibrahim, detained by Israel since February, has described to his lawyer with Defense for Children International–Palestine the grim, inhumane conditions inside Ofer prison where he is being held.

He said dozens of children are packed into overcrowded rooms, with some forced to sleep on thin floor mattresses. There is no heat or ventilation — only two blankets per child and a single Quran in each cell. Meals are starvation-level: three small pieces of bread and a spoonful of labneh for breakfast, half a cup of dry rice and one sausage for lunch, and often no dinner. Fruit is almost never provided. Prisoners are allowed outside only 40 minutes a day, when they must also shower, though six showers serve dozens of boys. The cells reek from lack of sanitation. Ibrahim has lost weight and developed scabies amid the overcrowding, cold, and neglect.

DCIP says Israel remains the only country that systematically prosecutes children in military courts, charging Ibrahim with stone-throwing — a crime that carries up to 20 years. Despite his U.S. citizenship and family appeals to Congress, Israel continues to hold him.

Today is the last day that Lebanese farmers in Blida can harvest their olives. They have had to obtain permits from the IDF via UNIFIL to farm their own land. During the war and the ceasefire period, the Israeli army committed ecocide on a mass scale, destroying olive trees with equipment and white phosphorus attacks. Some of the olive tres they destroyed were hundreds of years old.

[The Sameer Project @sameerproject]

Ceasefire???? 🔉🔊VOLUME UP! “Good” morning from Gaza…https://t.co/jw67AhauWA.

While an agreement for a ceasefire is in place on paper and in the ceremonious signings for show by the world leaders, the reality is the that the occupation has already broken the agreement dozens of times. Even last night a new massacre was committed against the Abu Shaaban family, as a tank shell was fired directly at their vehicle while they were trying to check on their home in the al-Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City. The attack resulted in the killing of 11 members of the family, including 7 children and 3 women, in a full-fledged crime that exposes the occupation’s deliberate intent to target unarmed civilians without any justification.

The agreement is only in its early stages and for now Israel controls about 58% of the Gaza Strip. This means families who think there is reprieve and go to check on their homes will still be killed, like we saw this evening, when an arbitrary buffer zone is breached..

We being very cautious, very careful, Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal ) x The Sameer Project will do our due diligence when helping return families to the North. Stand in support of families that want to go back, despite the continuing fighting, but in a safe way.

Do you remember Amal? You won’t recognize her now!! https://t.co/dT6xhwAxvs.

The 7 year old came to our Refaat Alareer Camp after being discharged from the hospital prematurely, battling severe acute malnutrition. She was skin and bones, no energy to even sit up.

Now, after months under The Sameer Project care Amal is a normal looking, healthy girl…she has cheeks! Amal needed a special diet of wheat free products to manage her Celiac disease. We provided her with nutritional food parcels and she has been under the care of our medical team onsite at our medical point at Refaat Alareer Camp. She gained weight safely, slowly, and now she is running and playing, singing and dancing, her parents have their child back.

We can help rehabilitate and heal more sick and injured children and adults, but only with your help. The Refaat Alareer Camp now has 75 families in it, we can add more and help them recover - just like Amal - with your contributions.

Donate to the Camp Campaign to support Gaza’s most vulnerable cases, with your help they can start to heal.

In violation of the ceasefire, Israeli occupation forces killed 6 people and wounded 29 others across Gaza during the past 24 hours.

[روني الدنماركي @aldnmarki]

Survived two years of genocide. Spent every minute covering Israel's barbarity for the world to see. Poured his heart out to the world when everything seemed too overbearing. Did everything he could to make the children and the next generation around him feel safe.

Today, brave journalist Saleh Al-Jaafarawi from Gaza was gunned down in cold blood by members of one of the crime syndicates Israel has been funding, training and supplying.

Unbearable, unfathomable loss.

[Hadi @HadiNasrallah]

Israel-backed terrorists just killed this journalist in Gaza. He survived a holocaust to be shot during a ceasefire. RIP Saleh Al-Jafarawi 💔
