okay, i'm tapping out for today, but i did make a baby sized palm crown for shams and noor. obviously the texture didn't sit well with them so i just held them still for the photo then spared them from the annoyance 😅

ah i'm Definitely out of practise but i still remember how to make roses :D in primary school we had a baby palm tree in the courtyard and since roses are the easiest shape to make, we'd make like hundreds of those and give them to each other at the end of the day

I’d be nothing without @el-shab-hussein.

I’ve been silent for too long and can no longer bear to keep this inside: @tododeku-or-bust is a good person and deserves many good things.

[feluka]

I’d be nothing without @fairuzfan.

tbh palm sunday always used to be palm saturday or palm monday for me because i got all my leaves from the school garden and school was always closed on sunday. now i can just buy them whenever but i still continue the tradition of celebrating on the wrong day 👍

While we're at it: using language that downplays genocide is a form of genocide denial.

Joe Biden isn't doing a bad job, Joe Biden is providing material support for genocide.

Israel isn't handling the situation badly, Israel is committing genocide.

Employing euphemisms minimizes the reality of this genocide. It's disrespectful and dangerous.

If you are more uncomfortable with the word genocide than you are with the reality of genocide, then you are not prepared to be part of any serious discussion. Work on that on your own time.

[Audio transcript:

"I've lived my whole live in Gaza strip and I have never felt hope like now. Never. I mean it's magical feelings running in my veins right now. In my head, I'm in Gaza city, in the north of Gaza strip, rebuilding my city, after this genocide is ended. Even started to dream that my friends from Yaffa, Haifa, Akka, Al-Majdal, are returning to their cities after being displaced for seventy five years. These young heroes in universities around America and the world are stronger than the last occupation in history.

And for the first time in our lives as Palestinians, we hear a voice louder than their voices, and the sound of their bombs, and even stronger than their control in all aspects of our lives.

In the seventies, the occupation prime minister said after decades of killing Palestinians, stealing the lands, and establishing the state of Israel over the lands, " the adults will die, and children will definitely forget".

Wait, is that the greatest remontada in history? Because it's children and youths who are leading the movement now for a free Palestine, putting everything they have on the line to demand justice, and the end of the genocide, and a new era of the world, not based on oppression, exploitation, or colonialism.

Do you know what the best part is? Demonstrations and calls for boycotts in the academy institutions are not limited to a certain people from certain religion, color, culture, race, or maybe economic level. We're all different, so we can no longer be accused of antisemitism, serving some agendas from outside... we are just different people, calling for the same thing. People to people, and people to justice.

200 days we've spent escaping death every single minute were not in vain, and those 40,000 innocent souls were killed during these days were not also in vain, and this is the first time feeling this, and to tell you this, keep going because you are our only hope, and we promise that we will hold our ground, and tell you the truth, always.

And please, don't let their violence scare you. In Arabic we say, "dahrahom fel heit", in English that means, they don't have other option but trying to terrify and silence you, because you are demolishing decades of brainwashing. You are making the change. The real change.

Their violence means we have begun to affect them deeply, believe me. We are at the bottom of this bottle and we are very, very close to the end of this genocide, maybe closer than any time before. Thank you. Thanks for each one of you. Because you've made us - me and my people - feel that we're free, we're heard, and we are going back to our homes, and that- I've spent the whole night thinking about every video I see, you are shouting for Palestine, you are protesting for Palestine, you are dancing, singing for Palestine. I feel it here in my head, that I'm going back, and I'm free. And one day we'll celebrate it in real. in Ghazzah, together. Keep going, and we will, too. Salam."
