Try it...

An Egyptian programmer created a page dedicated to every Palestinian soul killed by the occupation during the war of extermination in #Gaza.. So far, he has registered 72,000 names.

Each point of light on the screen represents the name of a martyr, and when it is clicked, the name of the person it belongs to appears.

The link is in the first reblog :

I Am Not a Number

A memorial for the 60,199 Palestinian victims of the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Each dot is a name. Each name was a life.

Israel passed a death penalty law that will allow them to execute Palestinian detainees many of which have been detained without due process and many of which were kids when they were detained.

This is the equivalent to camp executions the Nazis did. It's exactly the same thing

This death penalty law doesn't apply to Israelis of course because Israel is a violent apartheid

Israel passes bill mandating death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terror

The Bill's Wording Creates a Distinction Designating It Almost Exclusively for Palestinian Terror, While the Ideological Burden of Proof It

Israel's Knesset passed a bill on Monday mandating the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of deadly acts of terrorism. The bill stipulates that the death penalty will be imposed on a terrorist who killed a person "with the intent to deny the existence of the State of Israel."

In doing so, the bill's wording creates a distinction designating it almost exclusively for Palestinian terror, while the ideological burden of proof it sets is expected to make its application to Jewish nationalist terror nearly impossible.

Sixty-two lawmakers voted in favor of the contentious bill, including several opposition members; 48 voted against it, and one abstained. The law is now applicable in any territory that Israel functionally controls, including the West Bank and 53 percent of the Gaza Strip.

They literally started popping bottles and drinking champagne immediately after voting on this btw. And they were all wearing little golden pins on their lapels shaped like nooses.

Even just saying that sounds like ham-fisted antisemitic propaganda, but it's genuinely just stating facts.

You can't see it clearly in the above picture where this modern day Nazi is celebrating the new law allowing him to murder more Palestinians but he's wearing a golden noose pin. Along with the other Zionazis in attendance

To take the lesson out of every experience…… to silently forgive people not necessarily for their sake but more so for yours…… to hold yourself accountable but simultaneously view past experiences through a lens of compassion…… to make peace w things you can’t change……. to let people be who they naturally are even if it means losing them… to be okay w people misunderstanding you…. to recognize that things not working out is the universe’s way of protecting you from things or people who were not meant for you…… to be kind and gracious but also to stand up for yourself where necessary…… that is the way to living a happy fulfilling life unencumbered by yesterday’s regrets

My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!

Grim forensic accounting by Gaza’s Civil Defence teams in Gaza have documented 2,842 Palestinians who have “evaporated” (leaving behind no remains other than blood spray or small fragments of flesh) since the war began in October 2023.

Experts and witnesses attributed this phenomenon to Israel’s systematic use of internationally prohibited thermal and thermobaric weapons. The investigation identified specific US-manufactured munitions used in Gaza that are linked to these disappearances.
