October 7, 2023 - During the al-Aqsa flood operation a football fan, and guerrilla of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, took this iconic photo with 90-year-old Esther Cunio, after she told him she was from the country footballer Lionel Messi is from, before leaving her in peace and moving on.

Esther Cunio was living in an Israeli Kibbutz on occupied Palestinian land, and she is originally from Argentina. It is important to note that her kibbutz, Nir Oz, close to Gaza, is built on the ethnically cleansed Palestinian town of Ma'in Abu Sitta, and was founded in 1955 as a Zionist military outpost as Israel took over more and more Palestinian land during the ethnic cleansing campaigns of the Nakba.

Palestinian factions react to Donald Trump's comments about the US occupying and "developing" the Gaza Strip.

🟢 Hamas condemned Trump's statements "in the strongest terms." "We affirm that these statements are hostile to our people and our cause and will not serve stability in the region. Rather, they will pour oil on the fire. We will not allow any country in the world to occupy our land or impose guardianship over our great Palestinian people who have offered rivers of blood to liberate our land from occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with Al-Quds as its capital."

Hamas called on Trump to retract his statements, which they deemed irresponsible and at odds with international law. They called on the Arab League and UN to address these comments.

⚫ Palestinian Islamic Jihad considered that Trump's comments, made while receiving the wanted Netanyahu, "are nothing more than a new version of the ill-fated Balfour Promise—where those who have nothing are promised to those who do not deserve it."

They called the event "a meeting between the war criminal and the arrogant real estate mogul, which epitomized the reality of the American-zionist project in our region." This project works through intimidation, brute force, and genocide, "flouting all laws, regulations, and the will of our peoples."

PIJ affirmed that these statements leave no doubt that the US is leading a war of genocide, displacement, and the expansion of occupation. They considered Trump's plans, from ending UNRWA to seizing land, are a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security.

PIJ concluded: "Our Palestinian people, who have been resisting for over a hundred years, will not succumb to the dictates of Trump or anyone else. His foolish statements will only serve as motivation for us to reinforce our resistance until we achieve our objectives of liberating our land and ending the occupation. Our Palestinian people and their resistance forces are more determined and resolute than ever in confronting these conspiracies, and we call on the Arab and Islamic peoples to stand against this conspiratorial project, which targets all the peoples of our region and portends serious impending threats."

🔴 The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was similarly direct: Gaza is not a real estate project.

They considered the statements "nothing but an extension of the genocide war waged by the Zionist enemy under the direct American cover, and an attempt to establish a new colonial project based on ethnic cleansing and the uprooting of our people from their land."

They added: "Gaza is not a commodity in the hands of a war merchant like Trump or anyone else; rather, it is an integral part of historical Palestine, which stretches from Ras al-Naqoura to Rafah, and it is the gateway upon which the forces of colonialism have repeatedly crashed throughout history."

"Any dream of controlling Gaza is merely an illusion that will shatter against the rock of the steadfastness and resistance of our people, and the fate of any American occupation force in the Strip will be no different from that of the zionist enemy; our people will confront it with all their strength and determination, just as they repelled the zionist aggression."

"Gaza will forever remain a graveyard for invaders and an oasis of steadfastness and resistance for its free and dignified people."

The PFLP called on all people to "confront this colonial scheme." "We especially urge the active forces in the United States to take to the streets and declare their rejection of this new crime, which reflects the true face of American imperialism that colludes with the zionist occupation. Our struggle against this colonial, extirpatory project is the battle of all free peoples who reject colonialism, displacement, and the uprooting of a free people from their land."

UN Slashes Number of Women and Children Killed in Gaza by 50% - VINnews

(VINnews) — The United Nations has apparently slashed in half the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza. The UN published th

The report showed more than 14,500 child deaths on May 6 but then changed it to 7,797 on May 8. It also revised its figure for women fatalities from more than 9,500 deaths to 4,959 deaths. The UN attributed its original, higher figures to the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza. The UN gave no source for the lower figures in its May 8 update, but the figures precisely match those from the Gaza Ministry of Health, also controlled by Hamas. (This begs the question, how can we accept the new numbers as being any more accurate than the old ones?)

I mean Hamas has every reason to lie about these figures. We've been saying it from the start.

You didn't pay attention when "hospital bombed by IDF killing 500" was fed to the news by Hamas and by the next day the story had changed to "Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket falls short and hits parking lot of the hospital, possibly killing dozens".

Want to share this statement from @Aldanmarki on twitter:

"The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is often viewed in the west as an "extremist" group, mostly a misunderstanding based on their oh-so "scary" name. Last Monday I was speaking to a Palestinian with considerable knowledge on the Palestinian resistance factions, and he told me something very interesting about the PIJ. The PIJ is a fighting organization, not a political organization in the traditional sense. Unlike Hamas, Fatah or even the PFLP, the PIJ do not have any set-in-stone vision for a future Palestinian state. The PIJ does not envision political leadership in a liberated Palestine. Their political program makes it abundantly clear that they will leave political decision-making up to the Palestinian people. Their refusal to engage in bureaucratic politics also makes them the only resistance group none of their other groups dare to criticize. By solely focusing on the armed struggle, the PIJ would never be involved in murky corruption scandals like other groups have been in the past.

The PIJ is a moderately religious organization, and perhaps one could argue even more moderate than Hamas. Their political program calls for the total unification of the Islamic nation between both Sunnis and Shias, and envisions the fostering of a democratic culture in which all internal disputes can be resolved in a respectful and grounded manner without the interference of foreign powers.

Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan, who passed away in May this year due to starvation from his hunger strike, was affiliated with the PIJ and served as their spokesman in the early 2000s. He was a respected figure by all Palestinians across the political spectrum and would often be seen mingling with student groups from all factions. Khader Adnan was, in many ways, the physical embodiment of the political catch-all nature of the PIJ."

Misc. Final Partners in Justice Parts

Hey, everyone! I know it's been literal years since I've worked on this. Unfortunately, I don't have the motivation to finish it, so here's the last few drafts I had waiting to go along with other ones that never got finished. Below the cut will be what the final plans were.

Thank you all for enjoying this so much! You're all amazing!

Part 20: Bats decides to keep those at home inside, only he goes out. He has no control over NW and RH (and whoever else is not at the manor) but advises them to stay inside. Y/N pouts because she can't see Damian. Maybe some e-learning, and facetiming with Damian

Part 21: the band pick up lines. School is e-learning rest of year. Disappointment over lack of concerts, prom, and so on. Everyone's reactions to that. Maybe Damian asks Y/N to home-prom?

Part 22: decision day (May 1st) Damian and YN announce they're going to Gotham University. Prom at home, except idk if it'll be Y/N with her family or a social-distanced one with Damian. Graduation cancelled, reactions to that.

Part 23: social-distanced date lol that the batfam definitely spies on. More e-learning.

Part 24: Jumps ahead to virtual graduation, probably the last of the posts

->->-> This was meant to be updated as the pandemic continued on and life changed. Obviously, life got chaotic, I went to school, went on a mission for my church, and have returned since then. There would've been a more officially ending for it all if things had gone as initially planned.

Thank you all again! It's been a pleasure seeing how much love you all have had for this series

"National liberation, national renaissance, the restoration of nationhood to the people, commonwealth: whatever may be the headings used or the new formulas introduced, decolonization is always a violent phenomenon. [...] Its unusual importance is that it constituted, from the very first day, the minimum demands of the colonized. To tell the truth, the proof of success lies in a whole social structure being changed from the bottom up. The extraordinary importance of this change is that it is willed, called, demanded. The need for this change exists in its crude state, impetuous and compelling, in the consciousness and in the lives of the men and women who are colonized. [...] Decolonization is the meeting of two forces, opposed to each other by their very nature [...]. Their first encounter was marked by violence and their existence together – that is to say the exploitation of the native by the settler – was carried on by dint of a great array of bayonets and cannons. [...] Decolonization never takes place unnoticed, for it influences individuals and modifies them fundamentally. It transforms spectators crushed with their inessentiality into privileged actors, with the grandiose glare of history's floodlights upon them. [...] The native who decides to put the program into practice, and to become its moving force, is ready for violence at all times. From birth it is clear to him that this narrow world, strewn with prohibitions, can only be called in question by absolute violence." - Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth

"When we spoke, nobody listened to us, So we have taken the noise of gunpowder as our rhythm And the sound of machine guns as our melody" - Kassaman, Algerian national anthem

"This weapon will remain in the hands of the Palestinian resistance. It will not leave our hands except into the chest of the occupier. There is no rational resistance movement that abandons its weapon and leaves its people unprotected. The resistance is not some foreign force that appeared suddenly among the Palestinian people. The resistance is the choice of the Palestinian people themselves. This weapon is not ours. It is a trust carried on behalf of the Palestinian people and the martyrs. We are obligated to protect it, to use it correctly, and to maintain the confrontation with the occupation." - Mohammad al-Haj Mousa, Islamic Jihad

"Does the world expect us to be well-behaved victims while we're getting killed? For us to be slaughtered without making noise? We've tried peaceful resistance. We decided to defend our people with whatever weapons we have." - Yahya Sinwar, Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas

"The world didn't care about Palestinians. In the 70s, Palestinians knocked down everything [...]. The resistance fighters carried out operations around the world. They did not spare Europe or the Arab world, and the world became puzzled. This Palestinian, who we thought would end with the Nakba, turned out to be capable. And it must be that if he goes towards liberation strategies, he is capable. Because the whole world sympathizes with him. At this time, when Palestinians would strike, the whole world sympathized with us. The world respects the strong. True, the world sympathizes with the weak but it despises the weak and helpless. When we were weak and helpless, they despised us. When you're weak but defend yourself, they respect you. Do not respond to those who say that the world was against us, but when we went on the path of peace, the world stood with us. It's not true. The world stands with you today because you have a rocket." - Nizar Banat, Martyr of Truth

"It is out of the question for us to give up our weapons so they can kill us and our people. Lebanon cannot exist without resistance." "As long as occupation exists, resistance and its weapons are a legitimate right under all laws ... The issue of the resistance and its weapons is not open to debate by anyone. Our choice is to confront 'israel' to the point of utmost sacrifice, to the furthest extent, and we will not surrender." - Naim Qassem, Hezbollah Secretary-General
