A Palestinian man was shot in the head today while riding his bicycle, reportedly by Israeli forces.
He was known in his community for feeding cats every day.
We don't hate them enough.
Pride rises at the lowest place on earth 🌈 This June the Dead Sea becomes Pride Land, the biggest LGBTQ+ festival ever in the Middle East. Four days of nonstop celebration community and connection.
Israel celebrates its LGBTQ+ community bigger than ever 💙
“They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, cuffed my hands to end of the bed and pulled my legs apart forcefully.
I felt a penis penetrating my anus and a man raping me. I started screaming, and they beat me on my back and head.
While I was blindfolded, I felt a man who was raping me ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I could hear a camera, so I believe they were filming me.
I cannot describe what I felt. I wished for death. Every moment."
— UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese reads Palestinian survivor accounts of rape, torture, and killings in Israeli detention.
18,500+ have been detained since October 7. At least around a hundred, including a child, have died in custody. And some 4,000 are forcibly disappeared.
“What is lost in Palestine will be lost to us all.” — @FranceskAlbs told the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Hi Ambassador Mike Huckabee,
You wrote, "Zionism is the belief that Israel has a right to exist in safety and security."
The problem with your definition of Zionism is that is supposed Zionism was and is an abstract idea, rather than a movement with leaders, followers, institutions, policies and militias that established the State of Israel in 1948.
That Zionist movement set out to build a Jewish state with a Jewish majority working at Jewish-only cooperatives living in Jewish-only colonies owned by Jewish-only land authorities operating Jewish-only schools in a country of 95% Palestinian Arabs. What could possibly go wrong? let's dive in.
Zionism was the ideology of the movement that said, let's create a Jewish state in a country that's 97%+ non-Jewish.
That's why, when Zionists bought land in Palestine from the 1900s-1948, they uprooted the people living on the land because they weren't jewish. https://t.co/5et8PsWobq
That's why, when Zionists created cooperatives in Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, they insisted on "Hebrew Labor", i.e., "Jews only" -- no Arabs allowed, and even expelled Palestinian Arabs from working at Jewish companies and business. Jews only! https://t.co/oXfyJsWFtC
That's why, in 1948, Zionists militias ethnically cleansed 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. https://t.co/A6l95xmlpG
That's why, from 1949-1956, Israeli forces shot & killed b/w 2,700-5,000 overwhelmingly unarmed Palestinians trying to return to their homes after the war. Because they were the wrong religion/ethnicity (https://t.co/s2RBvscLWY p.416).
That's why Israel expelled another ~30-40,000 Palestinians from Israel from 1949-1959. https://t.co/1d4VqUjxvE
That's why Israel expelled another ~250,000 Palestinians from the West Bank & 40,000 Palestinians from Gaza from June 1967 - December 1967, when it occupied those territories in 1967. https://t.co/rm4KhVazUY
That's why Israel continued to expel Palestinians from the occupied territories from 1968-1993, many hundreds of thousands of them. https://t.co/16FarJ7vAw
This is why Israel has become such a pariah state over the years, because it's insistence on Jewish rule in a country with so many Palestinians.
It's why Zionism has led Israel to become an apartheid state, according to every relevant human rights organization ( @ICAHD in 2010, @UNESCWA in 2017, @YeshDin in 2020, @AdalahCenter in 2020, @btselem in 2021, @hrw in 2021, @fidh_en in 2021, @alhaq_org in 2022, @Addameer in 2022, @AlMezanCenter in 2022, @cacalqudsuni in 2022, @AdvocacyJlac in 2022, @miftahpal in 2022, @ICJ_org in 2022, @DAWNmenaorg in 2022, @amnesty in 2022), since it cannot grant the ~5-6 million occupied Palestinians Israeli citizenship. Israel chose apartheid and Jewish supremacy over democracy.
Zionism also explains why Israel is now committing genocide (according to @amnesty , @hrw , @btselem , @MSF , IAGS, @alhaq_org , @UNHumanRights , @UN_HRC , @pchrgaza , @AlMezanCenter , @WarOnWant , @PHRIsrael , @fidh_en , PHROC, @LemkinInstitute , @theCCR , @ECCHRBerlin , @unitedforrights@JURDIasso , @TheElders , @Oxfam ), because, what a Zionist dream it would have been had Palestine been a land without any people on it! the ideology incentivized genocide.
Mike, I offer courses on the history of Zionism, anti-Zionism, Palestine, the Palestinians & Israel here. Educate yourself: https://t.co/SMV6pMrxEi
The relationship between the #US and #Morocco is growing stronger. The Moroccan government has confirmed that it will participate in the #Gaza Stabilisation Force, inspired by Donald Trump and #Israel. According to @BarakRavid, it will be the main contributor alongside #Indonesia. King Mohammed VI has also accepted Trump's invitation to join the Peace Council as a founding member. @POTUS #Palestine

تخيل يا مؤمن أن ش��ص تسبب في أكبر أزمة تعليم في المغرب يُرقى ويصبح مندوبا ساميا للتخطيط..!
الخلاصة و الحقيقة المرة أنه ليست هناك إرادة و رغبة في الإصلاح.
نفس الوجوه الفاشلة المشكوك فيها يعاد تدويرها في كل مرة كأن بطون المغربيات لم ينجبن سواهم .
��ن يقف خلف هؤلاء الناس المشبوهة !
