39 years ago today, Palestinian artist Naji Al-Ali was assassinated by Mossad in London.

Naji was born in 1938 in the Palestinian village of Al-Shajara, between Tiberias and Nazareth and one of the more than 531 towns and villages destroyed by jews during the Nakba.

At the age of 10, he was expelled from his homeland to Lebanon in 1948.

Naji used to say that little Handala—his most famous cartoon— was a symbol of the Palestinian people and, more personally, of his stolen childhood and aborted youth.

“They tell little children to turn their backs, but I don’t turn. The boy is the age I was when I left Palestine, and he will not grow up until I return.”

“Handala was born ten years old, and he will always remain ten years old. At that age, I left my homeland. When he returns, Handala will still be ten, and only then will he begin to grow older. The laws of nature do not apply to him. He is an exception because the loss of one’s homeland is an exception. Things will become normal again when the homeland returns.” - Naji Al-Ali

Rest in power hero.

i don’t think people really fathom the gravity of the Palestinian genocide or a glimpse of it. Palestinians in Gaza can NOT escape. they are airtight trapped and guarded by most powerful and advanced military/tech on the planet. literally all they can do is anticipate death.

She's still in the Israeli torture prison btw, since everyone is talking about @RoKhanna being detained for a few minutes. Apply as much pressure as you can please.

Please don't let his plea get lost in the news. While movies are breaking box office records, there are children struggling to survive. My son is sick, and our campaign hasn't received any donations in a while, while his condition worsens every day. Any share or donation could give him a chance at treatment. 😭

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

Chickenpox is spreading rapidly across displacement camps, where 9,300 cases have been recorded over a two-week period, amid catastrophic humanitarian conditions as 1.7 million displaced people live in overcrowded tents, suffering from severe shortages of clean water, sanitation services, and healthcare, exacerbating the spread of disease and leaving children especially vulnerable.

We need an independent autopsy any time a Black person is found hanging in this country

[Translating Falasteen (Palestine) @translatingpal]

A displaced Palestinian woman vents her exhaustion at having to survive another summer inside a tent in Gaza. Her bitter, half-joking complaint captures what daily life in the camps has become under the Israeli occupation: searing heat with no shelter that keeps it out, no electricity for something as basic as a fan, sweat and sand and insects, and almost no clean water to drink or wash with.

More than two million people have been pushed into these tents after the occupation destroyed their homes and flattened Gaza's power and water systems, leaving families to endure soaring summer temperatures, disease and filth on the ruins of their own land. Her words turn a single hot day into a window onto the slow, grinding misery the occupation has forced on an entire population.

OMG!!!!!! @papermagazine HAPPY PRIDE!!! 🌈🧱❤️

[Amir @AmirAminiMD]

He has had an emergency decompressive hemicraniectomy, left-sided, where the likely dominant brain side is damaged forever. He will probably never be able to speak again, and never be able to feel and move the right side of his body.
At his age, the reason for that is most likely a mass intracranial hemorrhage and swelling due to severe head trauma. He must have also spent a long time in a coma, hence the tracheostomy.

This is, without much room for doubt, the face of a tortured man who has barely survived an emergency procedure, which in normal circumstances would be extremely uncommon for someone his age - and whose quality of life has been reduced to almost zero forever.

44 boys raped child for over a year (and other children too). Youtuber who's exposed 3 of their names got more years in prison than all 44 rapists combined.
South korea for you.

[Help baby KENAN 🇵🇸 @help_kenan]

Unfortunately, KENAN’S eyes condition has worsened in both situations, whether inside the tent or outside it.

Some people advised me to apply warm compresses to help relieve the pain in his eyes.

I did what I could to ease his pain 😭💔
we still need your support to take my son into an Ophthalmologist and get the required medical attention!

Orange harvest in Jaffa, Palestine

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

A Justice Department lawyer just signed a memo saying disabled Americans have no right to live in their own homes. In the same document, she admits no court in the country agrees with her.

Read that again. A government official wrote down, in black and white, that her own argument is wrong by every legal standard of the last thirty years, and she made it anyway.

Here is what it means in plain terms.

Right now, 8.4 million people get help that lets them stay in their own homes. Aides who help them dress. Care that lets them work, see friends, raise their kids, sleep in their own beds at night.

This memo tells states they can cut all of it.

And if they cut it, where do those people go? Into nursing homes. Into institutions. Into facilities where someone else decides when you wake up, what you eat, who your roommate is, whether you go outside today.

A lawyer who has visited people locked in these places said their whole world shrinks to one hallway. That is the future this memo is opening the door to.

Keeping people in their own homes is cheaper. In one case, home care cost under $7,500 a year. The nursing home would have cost close to $50,000. The cruel option is also the expensive one. They want to spend more money to make people's lives worse.

So why?

Because last summer Trump signed an order to deal with homelessness by force, by sweeping people off the streets and committing them. He said it out loud during the campaign: the mentally ill belong back in institutions.

The only thing standing in the way was the law that says people deserve to live in their own communities.

This memo is how they get around it. And it landed the same week Republicans slashed Medicaid, giving every cash-strapped state the perfect excuse to start cutting.

A think tank drew up the plan. A lawyer wrote the memo. A president signed the order. Three signatures, and millions of people could lose the right to their own front door.

We are about to spend the summer celebrating 250 years of American freedom.
Some Americans are about to find out it doesn't include them.

Unfortunately, this is what we found inside the drinking water tank: worms. My children are drinking contaminated water. Please help provide safe drinking water.
