tanks in Dheisha refugee camp, Bethlehem

This is in the West Bank, which Hamas does not control and where it has barely had a presence since the PA, Israel, and the US collaborated to drive them out after they won the 2006 election.

They smashed Shireen Abu Akleh's memorial in Jenin (West Bank) too.

at least 111 palestinians have been killed in the occupied west bank so far by the idf and the armed settlers, including 33 children, some targeted by a drone strike where israeli forces deliberately blocked ambulances from arriving on the scene, and just today a farmer harvesting his olives on his own farm in nablus

not to mention over 1500 detained, of which two have already been beaten to death in israeli jail. meanwhile the village of khirbet zanuta in south hebron is being ethnically cleansed already due to israeli settler terrorism, at least the eighth community since october 7 to be cleansed this way

"Via Scott Long. For those interested, I've uploaded my entire library of books on Palestine/Israel to the cloud, in digital form (mostly pdf and epub) so you can access them. It's a little over 1700 books, a lot of them good and important, some of them historical or political curiosities. Nearly all are in English, I'm afraid. You can download any that interest you individually, or the whole library (about 13 GB). And feel free to share this."

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

Murals and graffiti on the streets of Ireland in solidarity with the Palestinian people agaisnt settler-colonialism

You tell the pizza guy you don't have any money and want to pay in pussy and he just breaks down crying. You were his thirteenth job of the day, after also doing lyft and Doordarsh and task rabbit, and honestly like, the sentiment is nice, he WOULD like some intimacy (he's so tired by the end of the day, he can't even masturbate and anyways he feels so disconnected from his body, it's like a tool for capitalism and he struggles to view it as something capable of pleasure) but honestly, if you could PLEASE just give him $20 so he can afford something off the value menu at McDonald's. And you feel so miserable, like damn, you and the pizza guy end up splitting the pizza and just talking, and he tells you about his lifelong dream of taking up scuba diving and you tell him about your little etsy business that you do on top of your office job, and for a moment the human connection is enough for the both of you. Yall still fuck. Five stars, delivery driver was considerate, flexible and was open to pegging.

Out of an abundance of caution: Do not search your name, or the names of people you know.

There’s rumors about the website tracking the names that get searched, so you could put yourself or other people under scrutiny if you do so.

Every major Palestinian city and refugee camp in the West Bank is being invaded right now. We told you time and time again this was never about H*mas.

It seems like Al Jazeera is the only one with any live feed of Ghazzah. The air is full of smoke so thick you can still see it in the dead of night. Have you ever seen a city so dark?

i'm trying to post a long list of informational resources on palestine and tumblr simply will not let me

is there a limit to how many links you can put on one post? it just says there's a "problem"

testing with one link

testing with two more

testing with three more

and the rest:

my intention in posting all these is as follows: i love everyone standing in genuine solidarity with palestine, but some of you are really uninformed and thus your talking points suck shit and you don't know how to respond to the most basic, common lies about palestine and palestinians--sorry for being harsh, but it's true. if you want your advocacy to be better, please actually know the basics of how this whole "situation" functions. the imeu has put together a lot of fact sheets^ that can help you get a basic understanding. note that these are all at least a few years old and not about extremely recent developments, like the current crisis, updated numbers on the population of west bank settlements, etc.

MARCH ON WASHINGTON D.C.

(Saturday, November 4th, 2:00pm @ Freedom Plaza)

More information, including on transportation from your city, can be found here and here.

McDonald's giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE

how will people live with themselves 5, 10, 20 years from now knowing they blindly fell for propaganda and rooted for genocide. We ask how the general German public, every day average people sided with the Nazis. We say to ourselves 'it would not have been me'

It IS you.

This news surfaced yesterday and I just want to say this isn't new. This happened and has been reported more than once. There are also the Yemeni Jewish children who were kidnapped from their mothers by Ashkenazi "nurses", who claimed that the baby is dead, and diagnose the mother with hysteria/mental disorder after.

The lack of regard for people of color in Israel shouldn't come as a surprise at all. How many poc do you see in the government/ knesst despite the number of Ethiopian and Yemeni jews?

They're creating an all white country, this is colonizer behavior 101, the world just turned a blind eye.
