Just a random thought but can you imagine how much information about Palestinians and our history exists in Hebrew sources and we don't have access to that bc the vast majority of us don't speak it, let alone read and write it?

esp because Israel destroyed our archives so there's probably information we don't know that was sealed into those archives and are now gone forever

[halalchampagnesocialist]

I'd also be doing a disservice to not mention the family lineages that have been wiped out by Israel which means that's even more family and community history lost

[fairuzfan]

A lot of Palestinian books (as in, owned by palestinians) is in Israeli archives rn under the title "abandoned property". These are things with people's full names written on them often in books, but they're considered "abandoned" because in '48 a bunch of people looted our homes, especially our personal libraries.

if you can stomach it i would recommend watching the body cam footage of the sonya massey killing, i'll try to describe it but it's hardly possible. you can't truly understand the type of extreme, completely volatile aggression that happens with cops if you haven't seen it, and it's captured here very harrowingly.

several officers are in her house, calmly talking with her about her id and vehicle papers for some time. it's routine administrative stuff, no acute danger or stress whatsoever. one of them tells her to take her pot off the stove, remarking that they don't need a fire in the house now, she walks over into the kitchen and complies. he suddenly backs off towards the front door despite already being several feet away. she asks him where he's going, he says "away from your hot, steaming water." she repeats "my hot, steamin' water?" in an amused tone. then adds "i rebuke you in the name of jesus," in a similar joking tone while pouring the water down the sink. the atmosphere is completely calm, you might even say amiable.

she's at this point still separated from the cops by her kitchen aisle and several feet of additional distance. the cop prompts her to repeat what she said, she repeats her joke about rebuking him in the name of jesus [with the scary water she just poured out]. she doesn't even realise there's been a complete 180 in his head. he goes "you better fucking not, i will shoot you in your fucking face," she's stunned by the sudden abusive language for half a second, immediately he draws his gun directly at her head, she gets out a panicked "sorry!" and ducks behind the aisle, he rounds the corner into the kitchen specifically to advance right next to her, immediately fires 3 shots at her head from above at minimal distance. she's dead where she stood, or cowered rather, by the sink in her nightgown.

after a few seconds you hear the click of him turning on his body cam, saying "she came at me with a pot of boiling water." for the recording. he also nonchalantly tells his partner there's no need to get a med kit because it was a headshot. it's one of the most clear cut cases ever and it's fully recorded only because his partner did already have the body cam on throughout.

i just watched it and i need everyone to understand how FAST this happened. the timeline with timestamps from the video i watched is below the cut. if you don't want to know the exact timing, just understand that it went from "you're not in trouble, we just need your ID" to murder in UNDER A MINUTE. fuck pigs always and forever jesus fucking christ

"you're not in trouble, we just need your id" 13:15

"go turn off the stove, we don't need a fire while we're here" 13:56

"in the name of jesus i rebuke you" 14:11

"you better fucking not, i swear to god i'll fucking shoot you right in your fucking face" 14:14

shots fired 14:20

(also he's screaming "drop the pot, drop the fucking pot" over and over as he shoots her and continues screaming it after shooting her three times in the head from like 4 feet away. as if she's still holding the pot at that point)

she was still breathing in this awful horrifying heartbreaking painful way at 18:00 when he says he doesn't want to waste his med kit.

note: sonya's family & the lawyer they hired have said they WANT this video to be seen and to spur action for the upcoming election.

she says "i love yall, thank yall" at 10:53

"you're not in trouble, we just need your id" 13:15

"go turn off the stove, we don't need a fire while we're here" 13:56

"in the name of jesus i rebuke you" 14:11

(also he's screaming "drop the pot, drop the fucking pot" over and over as he shoots her and continues screaming it after shooting her three times in the head from like 4 feet away. she drops the pot as he advances on her and it shows up on his body cam from around the corner. he claims she threw it.)

he LAUGHS and says "naw, dude, it's a headshot" when his partner says he's getting a med kit at 14:48

"forget it, just let her fuckin... there's nothing we can do, man." 15:15

she was still breathing in this awful horrifying heartbreaking painful way at 18:00 when he says he doesn't want to waste his med kit.

she's still gasping at 20:00. the non-shooter cop is still holding pressure but no other medical aid has been given. ems arrives shortly thereafter.
