I paid (almost) that much for a tetanus shot today and I was thinking the exact same thing as I handed the pharmacist the money. I just paid $1000 for this. 🤦🏽‍♀️😭🤬

[Mohamad El Chamaa @MohamdEch]

Today I exchanged 20$ for 1,500,000 LBP. 3.5 years ago this same amount was worth 1000$!

[PALESTINE ONLINE 🇵🇸 @OnlinePalEng]

Israeli occupation forces held Palestinian child Hamoudi Mustafa Ammash at the Barta'a checkpoint near Jenin, and took him to the interrogation center, under the pretext that he insulted the soldiers at the checkpoint.

Israel Katz warns Palestinians who fly the Palestinian flag to ask their parents about “your Nakba” — and warns, “If you don’t calm down, we’ll teach you a lesson that won’t be forgotten”. https://t.co/NjuDIxp5AH

Imagine getting deported from the town you were born and raised in because a guy from another country wants your house

[Jalal 𓂆 @JalalAK_jojo]

They are chanting "Shufat is on fire", referring to Mohammad Abu Khdair, the child who was kidnapped, tortured, forced to drink gasoline and burnt to death.

This is the #FlagMarch endorsed by the Israeli Government and protected by 3000 israeli forces

[TIMES OF GAZA @Timesofgaza]

A group of Israeli settlers attack a Palestinian woman with pepper spray in Jerusalem.

[Hind Hassan @HindHassanNews]

One of the most unbelievable things I’ve ever seen! Even in death Shireen Abu Akleh is attacked by Israeli forces. Police attack pallbearers carrying the coffin of a journalist who was shot in the face by Israeli soldiers. Why? Because the coffin is draped in the Palestinian flag

[Issa Amro عيسى عمرو 🇵🇸 @Issaamro]

Happening now: Israeli settlers occupied a new Palestinian building in Hebron. We are losing our city in Hebron.

@OgeroTelecom @ikreidieh DM has been sent. Thank you.

[Yasmine @yas_m]

@ikreidieh @OgeroTelecom our landline has been down for over 2 months. It’s a problem in our whole building. Some ppl without phone for over 6 months. We have repeatedly called & submitted the problem. Several times. Nothing has been fixed yet.

عم نتحمل ونلاقي طرق نعيش، ونفسياتنا بالحضيض، بس موت ناس أبرياء بسبب الفساد عصر قلوبنا. صور النعوش وفوقها صور المحروقين لاففتهم جروحهم. ما في كلام يا #عكار.

When was the last time you had a conversation that's not about August 4, the power cuts, the fuel shortage, the dollar rate, migration or the complete collapse in Lebanon?

[édith @ineditrice]

I sometimes wonder why are the current leaders in 🇱🇧 so keen on staying in power. There is nothing left to steal, the country is bankrupt, there is not one single ministry which is profitable at the moment. What’s the point?

[LeShaque @LeShaque]

I keep bringing up the civil war because it was the worst period in Lebanon’s history and this economic collapse is overtaking it. There were ways to my life work back then. There aren’t now. 20/

[LeShaque @LeShaque]

I was warned about how bad the situation in Lebanon is and I expected the worst, but living it is different. I was born and grew up during the civil war and figured, “I survived that, I can survive this.” I will survive, but only survive. 1/

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Let it be known that according to @JoeBiden admin @StateDeptSpox, the lives of 9 children and all other Palestinian civilians murdered in cold blood over the last few days don’t matter. Can’t even condemn the murder of children. No moral conscience. Depraved and deplorable.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

1) Status quo: occupation/apartheid is violence against Palestinians

2) Then Israel escalates through evictions/beatings/shootings

3) Then some Palestinians respond w/violence

4) Then Israel "responds" w/massacres

If u start reporting at #3, you're misleading your audience.
