Stones collapsed from the Qibli Prayer Hall in Al-Aqsa Mosque due to ongoing Israeli excavations, with occupation authorities preventing any restoration work in the area.

‼️Bad Words (w/ @susanabulhawa)‼️
"I think we're the only people in the world, maybe in history, who are expected to experience our own genocide and then be expected to watch what we say so we don't offend the people who did this. So I resent that, & I reject it completely. Which is why I double & triple down. Because I do -- I think they're demons."

All that needs to be said on this matter, and the cowardly capitulations people make when put in the crosshairs of spineless, disingenuous critics.
Love you @susanabulhawa, and beyond proud of you.
“GRIEF.”
Is there a better word in English to describe how those of us with an umbilical cord connected to SWANA feel right now?

We are literally watching our Gaza correspondents starving live on TV, watching their bodies go thinner and thinner, their faces paler and paler, the look in their eyes sadder and sadder.
This is unforgivable. History will not forgive us for having let this happen. Shame on us
An unknown element of this is that Universal, the label both Kendrick Lamar and Drake are signed to, has a director named Haim Saban.
He is a former Israeli soldier, raised hundreds of millions for the Israeli military, and is credited with "writing Biden's script on Israel."
⚡️BREAKING:
Israeli undercover agents have kidnapped Mahmoud and Ahmad Muna, owners of the renowned “Educational Bookshop” in East Jerusalem, a cultural landmark for over 40 years. The shop was ransacked, and books were seized during the raid.
The brother of the owners told Haaretz: "They went through the books with Google Translate and took away anything they didn't like.” “They took every book with the Palestinian flag on it”

I'm devastated to learn of the sudden passing of Mousa Qous, a leader and bedrock of the Afro-Palestinian community in occupied Jerusalem. The city has lost a part of its soul. It is particularly cruel, but not surprising, that the occupier initially refused to allow his imprisoned daughter Shaden Qous out of its dungeons even to bid farewell to her father (https://t.co/7apa8NJPCf). I have just learned that thanks to the efforts of lawyers, she was allowed out at the last minute and able to attend his wake.
We were honored that Mousa Qous contributed to The Electronic @Intifada, including this piece from 2017, looking back on his life of struggle and how he continued to serve the people of Jerusalem despite the brutality of the occupation through his work at the African Community Society.
May he rest in peace, and may his memory always be a source of power and strength to his loved ones and everyone whose lives he touched. https://t.co/e4CDTQSOFM
in the meantime, here is the correction to the politically motivated perversion of the historic record. I remain hopeful the @OxfordUnion will remedy their error in good faith, integrity, and loyalty to the truth above all.
I reiterate my demand to the @OxfordUnion to reinstate my original speech, unedited. They are attempting to alter the historic record at the behest of zionists.
I'm looking for a barrister in the UK to send an official letter to the @OxfordUnion because one of my core stipulations, to which the union agreed in writing, was that the recording of my remarks not be altered in any way.
Please DM me if you can help. Zionists have been rewriting history for the past eight decades. It is the duty of writers, thinkers, academics, and historians to resist such imperial perversions of the historic record.
Every record of their unspeakable barbarism and every record of our resistance and loyalty to life must be preserved intact. One would think an institution like the @OxfordUnion would adhere to such principled fidelity to truth, but it seems they, like so many in this world, are bowing to zionist bullying.
I urge the @OxfordUnion once again to reverse this ignominious decision to edit the historic record. They should try to learn a thing or two from Palestinian children who fearlessly face these zionist hooligans with nothing but rocks and their bodies. No one is asking them to fight these monsters as we do. Rather, we're just asking that they adhere to their own stated principles.
today, the @OxfordUnion set the original version of my speech to private (see screenshot) and uploaded an edited version, one minute shorter, seemingly following zionist pressure. see their statement on the matter.
such modification of my speech and censorship is unethical and contrary to the ideals they purport to uphold. this censorship and perversion of my remarks comes after the original YouTube video had garnered hundreds of thousands of views and thousands of comments in less than one week, which was apparently was bothersome to zionists.
whereas the previous leadership of Ebrahim Osman-Mowafy withstood zionist bullying, his tenure ended in early December, when a new president took office. the usual zionist threats are working on him, it seems.
as Palestinians struggle to make our voices heard in the midst of a genocide, it is particularly egregious for the @OxfordUnion to bow to the very same forces committing that genocide.
it was bad enough to have been in the same room with genocide apologists and individuals who've actually murdered or caused the murder of people, but to find out that my speech has been edited to cater to them is intolerable.
the @OxfordUnion has not seen fit to issue statements, retractions, or other forms of censorship in the case of some truly abhorrent individuals that they've hosted in the past, such as Tony Robinson or Tzipi Hotovely.
Robinson was sent to prison for repeatedly inciting violence against refugees and Muslims, Hotovely made public calls to genocide against Palestinians. her remarks were so vile that it provoked calls for her expulsion from the UK.
and yet it was my speech that they saw fit to edit. why?
I demand the original speech be reinstated in its entirety as it was previously posted.
for the record, thanks to https://t.co/WbuiYFZfLT, the originally posted version cannot be erased from the web: https://t.co/2pKMZsgihA
That's right: I won the fight against Sheffield Hallam University. However, I can't find it within me to rejoice over this much-awaited news as I live through the most horrific times of my life. Northern Gaza, where I hail from, is being annihilated NOW. https://t.co/fCu17NRE6z
The craziest part of this story is that @YaelBRAUNPIVET, president of France's parliament who expelled the MP for 15 days (the heaviest possible sanction) for brandishing a Palestinian flag under the pretext foreign flags were forbidden in parliament, herself did wear an Israeli flag whilst presiding parliament!
@Omar_Gaza Habibi ya Omar, on this special day when we were gifted with your presence in the world, I am thankful you are alive & safe.
Every life from the motherland counts, our love is resistance too & I am so grateful for your life & light habibi bro 🤲🏽❤️
#Gaza has one of the youngest/most literate populations in the world.
In 145 days, #Israel exterminated 1% of Gaza’s child population & orphaned 19,000.
They’ve also destroyed 9/10 schools & all 7 universities.
In the information age, there is no excuse for ignorance anymore.

How we respond now to #Gaza will be a test of all of our souls.
In the span of just 145 days, #Israel has killed & maimed +100,000 Palestinians trapped by an illegal aerial, nautical & land siege.

Of 2.3 million population, 1.5 million have been forced to flee/shelter in #Gaza’s southern-most governorate, Rafah, usually home to 280,000, while the North has been levelled & is facing starvation.
