#Israelis recently took to the streets, rallying for democracy. Now they rally around the air bombardment of #Palestinian civilians besieged for decades in #Gaza and #Lebanon's refugee camps. You want democracy? How about basic humanity?

There is no democracy maintaining a permanent occupation of another people, and there never will be.

Shameful how biased reporting is here in the US. No one showing the violence against Palestinians. @mattgutmanABC but then you don't consider them humans do you? Every Ramadan this happens. Same political distractions.

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

lsraeli settlers flood Palestinian-owned lands with sewage and wastewater in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron city.

[لينة @LinahAlsaafin]

Remember when Israel said they killed 5 Islamic Jihad fighters, only it was five children, then they said the kids were actually killed by an errant IJ rocket?

Today -with zero impunity as always - they admitted they had indeed killed the children.

[The IMEU @theIMEU]

Mohammed El-Kurd (@m7mdkurd) speaks at the UN on calling Israel what it is: a settler colonial project to displace Palestinians.

[Shabnam @SmahmoodS]

21 years ago today. The bullets haven't stopped. Neither have the murders. #freepalastine #MuhammedDurra #ApartheidIsrael

[The IMEU @theIMEU]

On this day 21 years ago, the world watched as Jamal al-Durrah tried to protect his 12-year-old son Muhammad from the Israeli bullets that rained down on them in Gaza. Israeli soldiers murdered Muhammad, whose final moments were caught on camera, a haunting image of the intifada.

[Shabnam @SmahmoodS]

Of course not. Why would there be? Indifference is a colonist's defense. #ApartheidIsrael #FreePalestine

[Jehad Abusalim @JehadAbusalim]

There was no mention of thousands of Palestinians killed, injured, and imprisoned by Israel throughout the decades. There was no mention of Palestinians from Gaza who can't see their families due to the blockade.

[Jehad Abusalim @JehadAbusalim]

There was no talk of who controls Gaza's border crossings, waters, airspace, population registry, freedom of movement of individuals, exports and imports, access to hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
