Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
The idea of the erasure, the annihilation, of Palestinians is being clearly articulated by Israeli political and military officials. A US lawyer who has brought a case against the Biden administration for its “failure to prevent genocide”—which is a crime, too—spoke of how rare it is for genocidal intent to be so clearly and publicly articulated. Once they have achieved that goal, perhaps the plan is to have museums showcasing Palestinian culture and handicrafts, restaurants serving ethnic Palestinian food, maybe a Sound and Light show of how lively Old Gaza used to be—in the new Gaza Harbour at the head of the Ben Gurion canal project, which is supposedly being planned to rival the Suez Canal. Allegedly contracts for offshore drilling are already being signed.
Arundhati Roy, ‘Our country has lost its moral compass’, Hindu
The grandfather, who is also blind as a result of severe diabetes, feels isolated despite having his family around him.
"If an air strike targets the house or the neighbourhood, I cannot move, not even using the wheelchair. I am completely paralysed, I cannot see and I can barely hear and move my arms. What has helped me is that we evacuated by car when the situation was less dangerous," Abujubein told MEE. . . .
"What did the world that has long talked about human rights and the rights of people with disabilities do for us? My granddaughter has a subject about human rights in school. The first time they learned about people with disabilities, she was happy that she could reflect on me," Abu Jubein laughed.
"She came to me repeating what she had learned about their rights and how they should be given a special treatment."
"Now where is this special treatment? Did the world at least call for the evacuation of the displaced from Gaza until the end if the attacks?"
"Even hospitals are targeted. When the Israeli occupation started bombing hospitals and then besieged al-Shifa Hospital, we thought that this would be the start of an international revolution against the occupation, because the protection of patients and children inside hospitals is the core value of human rights."
"But, surprisingly, nothing happened."

..The story of Zeina, Marah, Kamel, Youssef, little Yara, and many children in my tent.. Zeina and Marah say to her mother: I want to play like before the war, I want to go to the amusement park, I want clothes and a clean house, I want to celebrate the holidays, I want to go to school and learn, I want to feel safe and sound......
Her mother: She does not answer and feels disappointed with tears on her cheeks
Marah and Zeina: Mom, why don’t you answer? Mom, don’t cry. 😭😭😭
Mom, we understand everything, and yet we will play and learn 👇👍👇

seeing a video of idf soldiers peeing on a dead body and then kicking it & you want me to think these people are “in danger and fearing for their lives”. like they’re spawns of satan himself with the crimes they’re committing and i hope every time they close their eyes to sleep, they’re haunted by the lives they have taken…i hope each generation of their families don’t know peace until they all wither and croak.
from the river to the sea palestine will be free!!!

A six year old tried to commit suicide in Gaza. A six year old. Read that again. Is it still not clicking for you? I can't even put how this made me feel into words. I can only question how people can support this. Where is your empathy???
