The new fabricated piece of Israeli atrocity propaganda, that Hamas baked a baby in an oven, is lifted directly from Palestinian survivor testimonies about what Zionist militants did during the Deir Yassin massacre of 1948.

[Warning, explicit descriptions of torture and violence.]

“I saw the Zionist terrorist soldiers ordering the bakery man of the village to throw his son in the oven and burn him alive. The son is holding the clothes of his father tightly and crying from fear and pleading to his father not to do it. The father refuses and then the soldiers hit him in his gut so hard it caused him to fall on the floor. Other soldiers held his son, Abdel Rauf, and threw him in the oven and told his father to toast him well-done meat. Other soldiers took the baker himself , Hussain al-Shareef, and threw him, too, in the oven, telling him, “follow your son, he needs you there”. - Testimonial from Othman Akel, recorded in Palestine Rising: How I survived the 1948 Deir Yasin Massacre (2010).

Like the saying goes, "every Zionist accusation is a confession."

It almost makes me wonder if it's part of a deliberate tactic to obfuscate search engine results. Because if you now search for something like say, 'Israeli solider put child in oven,' all the top results will be about Hamas, not Deir Yassin.

I urge you to watch the Tantura documentaries. There are also plenty of other sources you can find with little research.

This is what zionists will not show you. Their soldiers take pride in what they've done. This is why whenever you argue with a zionist they will not talk about anything prior to Oct 7 and will keep pulling you in circles, even they can't find a way to justify this.

The man he's talking about was an armless civilian, he killed him bc he "liked" his belt. Don't be fooled by the way he calls him a terrorist. You can't kill someone and then call them a terrorist to escape consequences.

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

Summary:

A short documentary by video journalist, Wizard Bisan, about the conditions of a Palestinian area called Khan Younis that was left in ruins, where almost every single building was destroyed. The people who were taking shelter in Rafah after Israel’s invasion have now returned to Khan Younis after the state withdrew their troops.

The video footage showcases rubble, a small portion of the bodies that were found in the mass graves, bombed buildings that have barely survived, bullet casings and holes, and the makeshift renewal efforts in acquiring shelter. The documentary also makes comparisons between the current state of the cities and the state of the cities back in October 2023.

Today marks the 76th anniversary of the Nakba.

On such a day that holds so much sadness and anger and pain for any Palestinian anywhere in this world, we usually dedicate this day to learning more about our history and commemorating the stories of our loved ones who had witnessed the 1948 Nakba.

So on such a not so happy occasion, i’d like to recommend you a documentary that talks about the indigenous people of Ma’loul, a Palestinian village depopulated in 1948.

The documentary is called “Ma’loul Celebrates Its Destruction” by Michel Khleifi, and it follows Ma’loul’s past residents as they show us how they have their own special -and slightly bitter- way of commemorating this day and how they fight to hold onto their original hometown and roots, year after year, in the shadows of the occupation.

Please dedicate these few days to learn more about the history behind what we’re witnessing today

And remember that no one is free until we all are…

Gaza Calling (2012) dir. Nahed Awwad

[wearenotjustnumbers2]

Palestinian children from the family of Al-Hajj were found under the rubble of their home after being killed in the bombing of the Nsairat refugee camp, Central Gaza. 21.11.23

This is haunting. Remember that there are no resources to dig people up from the rubble. So civilians use their own hands to dig if they could, which in this case is impossible. So even if you're alive crushed under the rubble, there is no way to get you out. And if you manage to get out, there are no functioning hospital in Gaza except for one. Demand a ceasefire, this isn't normal and never will be.
