After being kidnapped by the Israeli soldiers in December from inside the Awda Hospital in Jabalia, Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh is announced dead today. He passed away on April 19 after sustaining severe injuries while kidnapped.
Dr-Al-Bursh was the head of Orthopedics at Shifa Hospital.”
Pro-Israeli protestors throwing a firework at the UCLA encampment— credits to FilmThePoliceLA. Link to original tweet. This is extremely dangerous and could have started an uncontrollable blaze and killed people. It’s commin sense. This was an act of intentional violence.
Jews for Palestine had major presence at this encampment, many being physically assaulted by the Zionist protestors.
Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.
As protests start ramping up and violence escalates please remember:
DO NOT PUT MILK IN YOUR EYES FOR PEPPER SPRAY OR TEAR GAS.
It can and will cause infection due to bacteria. Flush with water, distilled if possible, and never EVER wear contact lenses to protests where there may be police retaliation.
The west can ban social media sites and they can try to silence palestinians and people speaking up for the palestinians by deleting blogs, accounts or by censoring us but the truth will always prevail. And the people will never give up on Palestine. We will never stop supporting them so they can try all they want, they cannot stop the worldwide support of Palestine thats keeps growing each day. And one day hopefully in near future, palestine will be free. its inevitable.
as someone who was a student journalist in college, i'm absolutely in awe of columbia university's student journalists covering the nypd raid on their campus right now. they're bravery is commendable and they are 100 times more impressive than the fucks who attended the White House correspondence dinner the other night.
Solidarity with all the students and student journalists on college campuses right now who are fighting against fascist states and the excessive force being used against them and especially those on columbia's campus right now.
you can listen in if you google wkcr student radio. my connection's spotty but that could just be because of the storm's in my area.
EDIT: dropping the link because other reporters are blaming students. Don't listen to them. Listen to the students:

We are basically watching as Zionists go from "Israel would stop levelling down entire buildings on top of civilians if Hamas just agrees to a hostage deal!! Why won't Hamas just give us the hostages?!!"
To, well, this
In real fucking time. You couldn't say "we don't give a fuck about the hostages" any louder. And let's not even get started with the Hamas elimination part because you and I both know that is the most deranged goal and that literally no one believes it to be achievable. Absolutely everyone knows it's a ploy to excuse more mass murder with the goal of exterminating Palestinians and you have to be really very fucking stupid to believe otherwise.
