2 palestinian women were killed today. Ghada Ibrahim Sabatien a 47 year old woman from bethlehem (her death was recorded and her body circulating all over twitter with israelis cheering in the comments) and another woman not yet identified in Hebron. They also killed a 19 year old palestinian boy from bethlehem, Mohammed Ghnaim. 3 palestinians murdered. And every news outlets as usual is reporting like this is normal that it's a result of "high tensions" and israeli soldiers keeping an eye after the attacks but it's not normal. Its not normal that palestinians are treated like rats imprisoned in their own homeland thats broken up by checkpoints that make little prisons within our larger prison and killed at whim

since i see afghanistan trending, please keep your whole attention on the afghan women and young girls living there in this tough time. taliban have the control of the entirety of the country by now and all the girls over 15 andwidowed women under 45 are now being "gifted" to the soldiers so they can rape women however they wish and use them as sex slaves. there are many desperate people in the afghanistan right now trying to escape, but these women are not represented by anyone and a good amount of men in the country are leaving them behind as if they are just unimportant items. the president, the rest of the politicans had already fled the country so the women and young girls are now all left with taliban's nonexsitent mercy. pressure your comminity, government, anyone around you to keep an eye over the afghan women who had been tortured, murdered by the radical islamists for decades.

i haven't been here much but i beg you guys to not ignore what is happening in palestine. please spread information, muna el-kurd and her brother mohammad el-kurd have both been detained by israeli occupation forces, these people are two very prominent activists who are arguably some of the loudest voices that speak about the abuse and ethnic cleansing palestians are facing. israel is trying to silence palestinian voices, this can't just be ignored

An Israeli court is going to rule if they should expel Palestinians from Silwan or not and give the stolen land to an Israeli settler organisation.

Do not relent in your advocacy for Palestine

Do not apologize for standing up to settler-colonialism

Remain unapologetic in tone and speech

Since the beginning of the latest uprising, Israel has arrested over 1400 Palestinians for taking part in protests. Over the next 48 hours, Israel has declared plans to arrest another 400.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Authority has also arrested Palestinians protesting against them & organizers involved in coordinating the strike across borders.

Sure, there’s a ceasefire, but save for the slaughter in Gaza, nothing has ceased: Israel will continue to try and remove Palestinians from Sheikh Jarrah, Israel is continuing to punish those who dared stand up and speak out, Palestinians in the US continue to be targeted and harassed relentlessly, and the narrative is very actively being attacked and shifted to take focus off Palestine

Do not relent

[tamarrud]

we say this after every ceasefire but even if active bombing has stopped, palestinians still face israeli violence on a daily basis. in gaza alone, and as a result of the recent violence, the water supply is now facing 40% shortage, roads leading to hospitals are destroyed, at least 70,000 people have been displaced, 12 families have been completely wiped out, and close to 2000 injured, many of whom will not be able to go abroad to receive crucial treatments as the 14-year siege on gaza continues.

and as always, israel is going to enjoy total impunity on all of these crimes which allows it to continue with the siege on gaza, home demolitions, land/resource theft, detention of children, terrorizing worshippers and so on.

the momentum that was built, especially on social media, has got to continue. it has become quite clear that the movement has done so much specifically in terms of shedding light on the magnitude of israel’s crimes and the absurdity of the justifications that we have been battling for ages.

yes, i cried literal tears seeing people in gaza celebrate the ceasefire but this is a reminder to all that a ceasefire is the bare minimum as different forms of violence enacted by israel never ceased. the fight for human rights has got to continue. keep talking about sheikh jarrah, the occupation, the apartheid, the siege; keep palestine present so that israel is held accountable for its crimes.

“Despite announcements of a cease-fire... We must continue to push.”

[forpalestine-deactivated2024020]

After more than a week of innocent Palestinians getting killed, a cease-fire was finally agreed to.

But don't let this make you forget what Is*ael did and what they will keep doing if we don't keep speaking up about their crimes. A cease-fire doesn't mean freedom for Palestine.

Translation of tweet

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Update: more bodies were found

Eng translation of tweet:

The ministry of health in Gaza:

-243 martyrs including 66 children, 39 women, and 17 elders.

-1910 Palestinians are injured with various injuries.

Update (May 21st 2021): The IDF broke into Al Aqsa mosque and threw sound bombs at worshippers. This is why we must keep speaking up! A cease-fire is not enough. They'll keep commiting crimes and breaking international laws.

israel has been bombing residential towers, refugee camps, media offices and now there are reports that it plans to bomb two UN run schools in palestine. reminder that many ppl who have been rendered homeless by these bombings have found shelter in these schools. palestine's hospitals are overflowing, their top doctors are being killed in these bombings, and the pandemic is still raging while israel is blocking humanitarian aid as well. these are war crimes. this is a genocide.

[gulabilli]

PLEASE do not stop talking about Palestine and spreading information, especially from Palestinians, whether it's here or on other social medias you use more often. Palestinians themselves have said over and over again that spreading this on social media helps, I've seen some people say that it feels different this time now that the world is starting to hear their voices. and please donate if you are able to

It’s a truism that governments lie during wartime. The mandate of a military is to attain its military objectives, not to accurately information its citizens.

It was in 2008, during the Israeli bombing of Gaza that killed more than a thousand civilians, that I first became aware of the Israeli government’s lies. When Israel bombed a UN school and claimed rockets were being fired from there, the UN publicly challenged them, saying they had told the Israelis there was no such activity in the building. Mainstream media largely blacked out this story, while more alternative sources covered it.

Today, the world is seeing the Israeli government’s lies playing out even in mainstream media. AP has asked the Israeli government for proof that there were military targets operating in their building and has so far received nothing. The IDF also told the press they were preparing a ground assault, which later proved to be false. The assertions of Israeli officials are now being questioned on the same networks that once uncritically repeated them.

One of the most destructive lies told about Gaza is the “human shields” narrative. We’re told that Hamas deliberately fires from populated areas to get their own people killed and thus make Israel look bad in the international press. This narrative at once serves to dehumanize Palestinians as people who hate Jews so much they willingly sacrifice their own children to kill them and at the same time to shift blame from Israel for the thousands of innocent civilians killed by its bombs.

Besides being specifically disproven false in countless individual cases (the UN school mentioned above and the bombing of Al-Shifa hospital and targeted killing of the Bakr boys in 2014 being examples), credible outside observers in Gaza, from UN agencies to rights groups to medical staff, have been unable to confirm this narrative. Yet we continue to hear it repeated as if it were proven fact.

When the 22-year-old volunteer medic was killed with a bullet to the back of the neck as she ran with her hands in the air surrounded by other uniformed medics, the IDF put out a video of her saying in an interview that she was a “human shield on the front lines of saving lives.” She was clearly using a metaphor for her role as in protecting shooting and teargas victims from death, but the IDF essentially tried to use this as ‘proof’ that her true role was to be killed by Israel so as to help delegitimize it. They even tried to claim that she was throwing molotov cocktails. All of this would be laughable if a beautiful person werent dead.

But we don’t even have to disprove to disqualify the “human shields” narrative as a justification for Israel’s mass killing. All we have to do is ask ourselves: if you know that bombing a target will kill innocent civilians and still bomb it, at what point are you engaged in conscious and willful killing? Given the extremely low casualty rate in Israel, does the killing of thousands constitute legitimate self-defense? And, when the other side is calling for a mutual ceasefire and refuse, can you still claim that they are the problem?
