His love for Gaza shone through in his photographs, seen in his steadfast portrayals of joy and beauty. Whimsical compositions by the sea depict young boys jumping and playing. In a series of works focused on his grandmother, a survivor of the 1948 Nakba who was displaced from her native village of Isdud, Arandas portrays her as a symbol of strength and perseverance in Gaza, zooming in on her weathered hands harvesting olives against deep fertile earth. Traces of personal and cultural histories can be seen in the crisp light of ripe olives and the details of intricate embroidery adorning her hanging dress.

“Where can I begin talking about Gaza and Palestine, and how can I begin when I know that I am the living dead? Everyone who writes about Palestine has prepared himself to be among the dead, but despite our prior knowledge of our fate when we write and write about this land, we do not stop or for a moment hesitate to inhale her love,” he reflected.

I'm reading about how Israel, in the immediate aftermath of the 1948 Nakba, deliberately replaced olive trees and other indigenous flora with European plants. This ecological disaster, which is now proudly hailed under the banner of 'making the desert bloom,' was done to 'de-Arabize' the landscape, and to cover up - often with fast-growing European pine trees -the ruins of Palestinian villages that were destroyed by Zionists forces.

And I just need everyone to read this passage from Pappé, because the symbolism of what happened to those European pine trees in the desert speaks for itself:

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, by Ilan Pappé (2006, p. 227-228.)

I don’t want to slow down for you. For anyone. That’s why I can’t be with someone who doesn’t know my language. I know you’re learning ASL. And it’s so endearing and often hilarious. But I can’t share everything I’m feeling in a way you’ll understand. I want you to know me, to really know my heart and soul, and have you understand my most silly, convoluted thoughts. My feelings. Because without that, you’ll never really know me. Yes, I feel everything that’s there between us. But I also feel the empty spaces. And I don’t want to live in an empty space. I don’t want to fall in love in an empty space.

#elizabeth is definitely the best part of s5 #her character was great in s4 but this was HER season #especially this scene imo #this one and also that scene before her surgery where she explains what it would mean for her not to be able to use her hands for weeks #what an amazing and beautiful character #and she's cute af all the time #elizabeth wilder #new amsterdam #notting queue

New Amsterdam didn’t take my father away from me. This hospital gave me my father. Showed me who he was. Who I could be. And that’s the day I realized I wanted to be just like him, the day I knew I wanted to be a doctor. So, I wanted to start by asking all of you the same thing my father asked his staff every hour of every single day: how can I help?

#finally FINALLY finished this show last night #the full circle they did was pretty emotional #and most of all i'm just glad they didn't stretch this show like one specific medical drama #what a special and different show this turned out to be #the way most of it was just an excuse to diss on the american health system #and that's why i think max's end makes sense i think #trying to change the laws and what's underneath everything is what he had been doing the whole time #was sad about a few things that bothered me though #obviously sharpe leaving. and also lauren and leyla not ending up together #but ehhhh i'll take it because this last season was good #especially loved the first ep and the one related to roe v. wade #and how the last ep felt like a cicle and tried to tie it all up together #i'll definitely rewatch this show at some point #new amsterdam #shows #notting queue

it has been genuinely devastating to see major governments, global news outlets and ignorant celebrities spreading a narrative that supports and upholds a regime responsible for the genocide of thousands of innocent lives. palestinians have been suffering for decades and nobody has cared; nobody has offered them the empathy that is now being so generously handed to a military force that is brutally murdering and displacing the palestinian people. 2.2 million people in gaza have had their electricity, food, water and fuel cut off. we are witnessing firsthand the utter annihilation of a population — dehumanising media coverage, blatant islamophobic propaganda, hundreds of children massacred — please understand that taking a "neutral" stance is siding with the oppressor. free palestine today, tomorrow, forever. from the river to the sea 🇵🇸
