My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.
When we say another Nakba, I really wish we were exaggerating…..they are walking into homes, using kitchens…it’s like flashbacks to 1948 and stories of homes occupied with food still warm.
On the evacuation pamphlets Israel dropped on Palestinians is a QR code that leads you to this map: these are all the areas that need to be "evacuated" because they're going to be bombed.
Tell us again, with your mighty liberal chests, how this isn't a genocide.
Israel has every hospital in Gaza surrounded with sniper drones that are firing at anyone they see. This is the stuff from dystopian novels and movies that Western audiences love so much, except it's real, and their governments are funding it and media is justifying it
The United States was one of only six countries in the 192-member United Nations to vote against a resolution yesterday calling for an end to illegal Israeli colonization of territories seized by military force in contravention of international law.
The climate in America is wonderful now! @Ash_Prashar isn't even Palestinian, but his kuffiyeh scarf was enough to get this racist, entitled woman to physically attack him & throw hot coffee at him & his 16-month old child, whom she wished would "burn in an oven."
Arabic words like “shaheed,” “jihad,” and “intifada” are regularly mistranslated or misconstrued in English-language media to stereotype and demonize the movement for Palestinian liberation.
But what do they really mean?
