Don’t stop talking about Rafah, Palestine

There are an estimated 50 000 pregnant women in Gaza, with more than 180 giving birth every day. Without hospitals the chances of survival for mother and child drop drastically

Death to settler colonialism, free Palestine!

If anyone still thinks the original tweet was an exaggeration, here’s a video from 2009 of Israeli's watching bombs falling on Gaza

Transcript from their interview with Keren Levy, an Israeli real estate agent:

Keren: They Chose Hamas to rule them, it's their fault, they got it to where it is now 

Reporter: Don't you think it gets worse bombing them? 

Keren: No I think that is the only solution, I think they should just clear off all the city, just take it off the ground. 

Keren: Yes I'm a little bit fascist.

Happy Easter! He is risen! Hallelujah!

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Mary Magdalene makes early trips to Jesus's tomb, maybe to anoint His Body with funeral oils, or maybe just to cry. In this cartoon, she refers to these trips as her "mourning routine." The word "mourning" (grieving) sounds like "morning" (the early part of the day). This pun implies that Mary's early daily ritual (her "morning routine") is one of sorrow (hence, "mourning routine"). 2. As Mary approaches Jesus's tomb in John's version of the story, she sees that it's open and hurries to the apostles to have them inspect it. In this cartoon, however, she's too exhausted to recognize what the open tomb implies (that the dead Jesus has somehow left His tomb). She continues into the tomb to wait for Him to return, and only after several minutes does the event literally dawn on her. This particular sunrise has seen the Son rise.

He has risen! Hallelujah! happy Easter everyone!

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

[stuckinapril]

the article goes into doctors' accounts of this in more detail, but they describe being tied to chairs and sliced with glass. being thrown into vehicles and beaten on the way--with rifles, with fists, hoses, sticks. they were constantly humiliated. they had to stand for irregular hours. they were left in nothing but boxers. many of their families don't even know they're detained and are frantically reporting them as missing. actual doctors. israel is now torturing doctors in gaza.

[stuckinapril]

adding that since israel’s raid of this respective hospital, 13 out of the 200 patients have died. because the doctors who were treating them are now being held in torture chambers.

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict

[tamarrud]

Like it's been said before that when Israelis and Zionists cry "why do you single out Israel?!", they should in fact be reminded that Israel singles itself out. I mean, who commits violence at this magnitude and then bemoans being the victim??

[intersectionalpraxis]

"A reporter asked a Palestinian child "What do you want to be when you grow up?" The child said, "We're Palestinian, we don't get to grow up." Majority of the Palestinians murdered are children under the age of ten. What crime have they committed?"

Children in Gaza represent roughly HALF of the population -that's a million human beings under the age of 18. Recent figures have also stated that one Palestinian child is killed every 15 minutes. And over the past 4 months alone -10,000 of them have been genocided and many more are still under the rubble. Many Palestinian children have also been targets of the IOF for decades -from their disproportionate targeting of women and children to the rampant imprisonment of Palestinian youths and kids in Gaza and the West Bank.

I have spoken about this on my page many times before -the IOF continues to terrorize Palestinian people and systematically robs the childhoods of Palestinian children in so many ways, and I don't know how anyone can look at what is happening and remain silent. Learning about how over a 1000 children have also had one or both their legs amputated since the start of October 7th, 2023, and over 25,000 have been orphaned -this should continue to enrage you, but I still see people think that Israel has a 'right to defend itself,' and that in itself is both a depraved and despicable statement to make.

May the IOF rot.

Palestine will be free.

My entire twitter feed is people in Rafah saying they’re terrified, saying their good byes, and asking us to remember them in our prayers. Rafah is facing a massacre. It’s a genocide. We will not know the number of deaths until the morning.

There's a super famous singing festival in italy that airs for a week every year. This year, one of the singers, Ghali, did some very remarkable things on that stage. Ghali was born in Italy from Tunisian parents, his career has been going on for a while, but this was his first time on that stage.

He made a song where he references Palestine where he sings: "how can you say everything is fine down here, where in order to trace borders with imaginary lines you bomb an hospital, for a piece of land or for a piece of bread there is no peace" . He also did a medley, singing also in arabic for the first time in the history of the festival.

Last night, during the final, he ended his performance asking to "stop the genocide!" I don't have to tell you that there's absolutely nothing pro-Palestine on italian media... and he used the biggest stage he could use to say that.

Today on a tv programme he was accused by the Isra*li ambassador of spreading hate and violence, to which he replied with those words in the following video (credits to the person who translated it here):

The italian TV broadcaster quickly posted a press release to distance themselves from this speech and to reiterate their whole support to Isr*el lol Towards the end of this tv programme, a few hours after Ghali said what you can hear in this video, they read the press release out loud. This is how Isra*li propaganda works everywhere, thanks to the complicity of our governments.

Just want to post about him because he really risked it all and I appreciate him incredibly for everything he did...if only everyone could do the same. And fuck italy and its fascist government.
