not quite strange that simpler garb could allow her camouflage. when one could keep their head bowed and walk with purpose, the noise of the every day provided deflection. and when an event as grand as this gathering occurred --- even better.

şenay takes one deep breath after another. the mountain range looms somewhere past her sight; all she sees before her is the path curling ahead. solace from the festivities; an escape from her family.

and yet, they look behind. always, always looking behind. and their eyes lock on another's, gaze widening. a soft "oh" drops from her lips, hands clenching at her sides.

The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine - Ilan Pappé (2006)

[nxnle]

Jafar não tinha tempo para encontros, não tinha tempo para relacionamentos. Ele tinha tempo somente para seus estudos e para sua arquitetura de vingança. Nunca foi um homem que se deixava levar pelos prazeres da carne; ou, ao menos, não se deixava levar facilmente. A bruxa que encontrou na Floresta Encantada lhe prometeu ensinamentos exclusivos, conhecimentos que só adquiriria através de anos de prática. Ah, e ela o ensinou muito, de fato. Maldições, mais especificamente, fora o assunto que o havia mais interessado. Ele só não conseguiu compreender quando que os toques de Marietta haviam se tornado perigosamente sedutores, ou quando ele parou de se tornar indiferente a eles – oras, até havia ousado iniciar alguns ele próprio! Que audacioso era. À luz de velas, os pergaminhos históricos estavam largados sobre a mesa do lado enquanto os dois já trocavam carícias no colchão da cabana improvisada. As promessas de poder, as promessas de conquista de vingança para os dois lados tornavam-se sussurros calmos; alguns até cheios de ódio e ameaças por si só, como o que Marietta havia acabado de falar. Talvez fosse isso que o tivesse atraído na mulher em primeiro lugar: a sede de vingança dela era tão grande quanto a sua, mas, ao contrário de si, ela já tinha sangue escorrendo pelos dedos. E adorava imaginar como eles eram capazes de torturar e matar outras pessoas, mas que agora eram tão delicados quando caminhavam pelo seu corpo. ❛❛ —- QUEBRAR MEU CORAÇÃO?❜❜ ele repetiu, rindo de forma áspera conforme ela aproximava-se devagar de si – quando é que passou a não oferecer resistência? ❛❛ —- VOCÊ PODERIA TENTAR, SE EU AINDA TIVESSE UM. ❜❜

Marietta sabia do que era capaz. Não apenas do que era capaz ali, com Jafar, mas de tudo que já havia feito no passado, pelos reinos por onde passava. Mas ali era diferente. Havia encontrado alguém com tanto ímpeto e desejo por algo a mais quanto ela. Ambição e sede de poder, não havia nada que ela valorizava mais em alguém do que isso. Mas é claro, que ela jamais cederia de novo. Não importava o quanto estava entendendo que podia admirar Jafar, não importava. Ela sabia que seu coração não existia há muito tempo, havia sido quebrado pouco a pouco - agora era ela quem quebrava. Mas a maneira que ele a olhava a fazia querer ceder, era inevitável. Ele a olhava como se pudesse ver dentro de si, como se a admirasse. Não era apenas desejo carnal, como já havia visto tantas vezes. Era diferente. Seu corpo ia se movendo na direção dele, entre as velas, com cuidado, tentando não amassar nenhum pergaminho. Os dedos foram na direção da nuca dele, enquanto a outra mão ia ao próprio vestido, desabotoando o primeiro botão e o segundo, o que deixava o espartilho abaixo dele mais a mostra. O sorriso aumentou, depois que ouviu a resposta dele. "Você se surpreenderia, Jafar" sussurrou o nome dele baixo, o tom quase maldoso. Se inclinava para juntar os lábios aos dele, deixando o tronco se sobrepor ao dele por um segundo "Sabe que eu preciso de você, não sabe? Agrabbah é o próximo reino que tem que pagar... Temos tanto, tanto a fazer..." ela disse baixo, contra a boca dele, se afastando devagar em seguida "Quero ter certeza que vai estar do meu lado, não importa o quê..." Marietta soprava as palavras com sedução, os olhos sem medo de encara-lo. Se antes tantos haviam a feito temer o contato visual, haviam a feito temer ceder, com medo de quebrar o coração, agora era ela quem fazia. "Eu ainda tenho tanto a te mostrar... mostrar tudo que você vai ser capaz de fazer com a minha ajuda..." ela murmurou, desabotoando outro botão, e agora apertando os fios de cabelo da nuca dele "Comigo ao seu lado, vai ser mais forte do que nunca. Será temido, e também respeitado"

Amid Israel’s ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, maternal healthcare faces excruciating challenges. Deliberate and systematic Israeli attacks on hospitals and medical centers, and critical shortages of humanitarian aid, including medicine, have created a crisis that is endangering the lives of both mothers and newborns. The situation is critical. There are an estimated 50,000 pregnant women in Gaza and some 180 births every day. Israel’s decision in October to prevent food, water, fuel and electricity from entering Gaza created a desperate situation. Inadequate nutrition, exposure to cold and hot weather, the absence of clean water, and poor sanitation weigh heavily on the wellbeing of women and children. The circumstances force them to consume contaminated water, heightening the peril of dehydration and waterborne diseases, particularly among vulnerable groups such as expectant mothers, new mothers and young children. Fuel shortages and the constrained capacity of the few remaining medical facilities exacerbate the difficulty for women in labor to access hospitals. Um Amin, a mother with a few children, confronted with the harsh reality of displacement, recounted her family’s struggles during Israel’s aggression. As bombs relentlessly fell on their neighborhood, reducing their home to rubble, Um Amin had to seek refuge at a school run by the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA) in the northern Gaza Strip taking only very few belongings. She was pregnant. And in the school there was little by way of basic necessities such as clean water, food or even clothes for her children. She considered moving south, where food might be a little more accessible. Her husband refused, causing conflict between them.He feared not being able to return. And while she believed that the Israeli army was attempting to force them to leave, she also felt it was a matter of life and death for her children. “It was heart-wrenching to witness my kids fighting over scraps of bread. My 4-year-old started stashing away bread in his pocket for later. I was shocked. Before the war, I never slept without knowing my children were fed. Now, most of the time, I am certain they never feel satisfied.” Her entire motivation to carry on became a matter of feeding her children She denied herself food for their sake, but had also to remind herself of the child within her. “The baby inside me is also a priority, so I had to eat too.” She found the balancing act incredibly challenging, an unbearable burden of motherhood. “I am going to share something I’ve never told anyone I know: I contemplated suicide to escape the weight of this responsibility.”

After the Israeli army unexpectedly stormed al-Rimal, a Gaza City neighborhood, for a second time, Um Amin panicked and fled again, this time going from the UNRWA school to a relative’s house. But her fear caused her to enter preterm labor. A doctor, at the nearby al-Sahaba medical center, had to resort to a cesarean section. It was hell, Um Amin said. There was insufficient anesthesia and she could feel the scalpel cutting into her body. There was no electricity; the doctor had to use a handheld flashlight to see. Um Amin’s cries of pain could not drown out the crashing of shells around her. The operation left her utterly drained. She couldn’t believe she was still alive.She needed nourishment to recover what she had lost during the bleeding and to breastfeed her son. But hunger was stalking Gaza. Food was scarce, there was no white flour in the markets, and Israel was blocking aid trucks from entering the north. “All I had to eat was bread made from animal feed and water. When I had my other children, I relied on foods rich in animal proteins, but it was impossible this time. The price of meat was five times higher than normal.” Unable to adequately breastfeed her child, she had to find infant formula. But the price was multiple times higher than it used to be and more than she could afford. Eventually, she was forced to buy formula that was past its expiry date. “You might blame me, but there was literally no other option. I didn’t have enough money. It wasn’t clumped together, so the doctor told me it could still be used.” She would never find out. Due to the lack of clean water, she prepared the milk with non-potable water from a well. The baby refused to drink.

Stuff like this is why I get so pissed off at accusations of genocide and apartheid.

Why would a genocidal country pause a war to vaccinate at least 90% of Gaza kids against polio as soon as the first case of a two year old paralyzed by type 2 poliovirus is confirmed? If they wanted gazans wiped off the earth they would keep the war going and vaccinate Israeli kids and citizens. If they wanted them dead they would never vaccinate “the enemy.” Russia wouldn’t do that.

I see you dickheads in the comments, “it’s for optics! Plus they must be worried about Jews getting it from them! That’s the only reason they want to vaccinate anyone. Plus vaccines are poison even checked by the WHO! They probably have autism in them!”

If it’s an apartheid why would Palestinians have access to the same places and bodies of water as Israelis? And if they don’t why would Israel vaccinate. The Regan administration didn’t respond to the HIV outbreak in the 80s because they hated gays and drug users and wanted them sick, spreading it, and most importantly dead. During peace time to their own citizens.

All Israel would have to do is ignore the outbreak.

Vaccines work. Polio is one of the most devastating diseases a kid can get. There’s no medication that can stop the damage once you get the virus. Lil kids die from diarrhea, are paralyzed for life and if they’re immune system doesn’t stop the paralysis at their legs it climbs up their bodies and once it hits their diaphragm (the muscle that lets you breath right under your rip cage) kids as young as a few months old to their teens will die from lack of air. Both are the absolute worst and most painful ways a person can die. Waking nightmare delusions from dehydration and low oxygen on top of the physical pain.

Nazis infected Jews with this shit intentionally to study how polio affects children. Israel is stopping in the middle of a war to end the polio outbreak when they are still trying to rescue kids so young they have spent the majority of their lives on earth in Hamas captivity. And after only one kid was confirmed with polio type 2, the one that causes paralysis.

How can it be a genocide or an apartheid when they are literally helping safeguard Palestines next generation of kids?

[joannerowling]

I'd like to say a few words today for the Israeli victims of Hamas and especially for those of you who may have known a victim, or were simply affected because it's your culture, your country, your people.

I'm French, and i've been on and off tumblr since 2013, so i remember what it was like to be online during the Charlie Hebdo killings in 2015. Different 7 of a different month and year, very different crimes and scale, but a similar scenario online. The whole Internet, lead by American users, almost immediately started saying the victims deserved it, using cartoons of the journal which they didn't understand to illustrate their point. These posts had millions of notes, while the French people's attempt to correct the misconception struggled to get a tenth of that. We were not allowed to mourn. Foreign press, especially in English speaking countries (= the internationally most read press) refused to publish the caricatures which their peers had been brutally murdered for, because, they said, it would be insensitive to the people who believed in Islam's god, a make-believe man in the sky concept which has been responsible for the death and enslavement of entire cultures. In those days i think i lost my faith in humanity, and i don't say that lightly. There's a before and after.

So i think i can imagine a fraction of the grief that you must feel, not just over what happened on 7/10/23 (which was so infinitely worse than what happened to CH), but the hostile reactions since. The rage at those callous dismissals, the minimising of horror, the insistence that "all sides must be heard" even on THAT day, the suspicious analysis of the ways you express your sorrow. And of course, the fear, as you know that some people are out there outright celebrating, and some would gladly kill again especially today, and some would excuse them.

What really helped me feel better in 2015 was seeing some people go against the grain and be frank about their support, and their understanding of who were the victims and who were the criminals. So today especially i wanted to let you know that i support you, and i know that there are more who do. You are not your government, you are not a mindless blob of [insert ethnicity here], you are people who went through something horrible, who were the target of barbaric men who sought only to explicitly torture, rape and murder innocents. There is no ambiguity on what happened on that day. Those were not casualities. 1200 Israelis is the same percentage of the population as 39960 Americans in the US. If nearly fourty hundreds American people – children, babies and women, were tortured, murdered and raped on the same day, you bet your arse that there would be ceremonies and public displays of mourning and international support.

So there, that's what i wanted to say. I'm sorry for your losses, may the dead rest and may the living heal in peace.

Andromeda carried the heaviness of her guilt as she wandered through the festivities. After all, she hadn’t really lost anyone in the Reckoning. Her brother had gone missing, that was true, but mourning him was like mourning a stranger- someone she only knew in the stories she’d been told. If he walked through the castle doors, would she even recognize him from the paintings on the walls of Fasil Ghebbi? Would he recognize her? Andromeda closed her eyes tight, shaking the thought out of her mind. Isra stood at one of the altars for the departed, and the princess approached, standing beside her, a small bushel of flowers in her hand. “We can offer so little to our loved ones once they’ve passed.” Reverently, she laid the flowers down on the altar, placing a soft hand on them before rising. Many would assume it was intended for her brother, but it was an offering for an old friend, from her previous life, who had died just a few months before Andromeda had been discovered. “I'm not even sure I believe in these offerings, yet I scoured the marketplace to find their favorite flowers.”

⭕75 HEZBOLLAH ROCKETS fired at Israeli Civilian towns yesterday in the north, as well as 20-30 or so SUICIDE DRONES.

⭕HEZBOLLAH DRONE STRIKE hit a factory in Nahariya WITHOUT ALARM. No injuries.

▪️APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL OF LEGAL “ADVISORS”.. The “Movement for the Quality of Government” NGO appealed to the High Court against the dismissal of ministerial dept legal advisors: "The continuation of the coup d'état, during the war. The govt decision will constitute a serious injury to the independence of the legal advisory system for govt offices, and will result in significant damage to the fundamental principles of the State of Israel."

The legal advisors opinions are considered binding, and appear to often be used in apparent disagreement with ministry policies.

▪️POLICE COMMISSIONER vs. ATTORNEY GENERAL.. Commissioner Danny Levy referred to the letter by Attorney General Beharve-Miarat "if he does not freeze the reassignment of the police senior legal advisor (from his advisor position to a department manager), he will be acting against the law", and replied that "the Israel Police addressed her letter last week and there is nothing to add in the matter. I am busy from morning to night fighting crime and leading the organization." 

After she informed him that his decision was frozen, Levy wrote to Beharev-Miara "I do not recognize a legal obligation to consult with you before making an appointment. Your request means a de facto expropriation of my authority."

.. (Ch. 13) “Legal authorities”, the commissioner’s conduct may lead to his removal.  National Security Minister Ben Gvir: in your dreams.

▪️ECONOMY.. Ministry of Finance: Ahead of budget discussions, the chief economist updated (REDUCED) the growth forecast for the years 2024 and 2025, to levels of 0.4% and 4.3% respectively.

♦️LEBANON - Hezbollah commander of the Eyta al-Sha'ab area surrendered to the Golani fighters.

.. The Lebanese report extensive destruction in the village of Jbaa in Nabatieh district following a series of about 12 attacks on the place last night. Several buildings collapsed.

♦️SYRIA - Syrian sources: Israel blew up a minefield in the area west of the village of al Qahtaniyah in the Qunaitra district in southern Syria. (This would allow rapid maneuvering.)

♦️GAZA - Air Force attacked terrorists in the humanitarian area in Khan Yunis.

♦️GAZA IED’s - Ch. 14, we were asked not to say that there was an explosion inside a building (where soldiers were killed). We will not hide it. 12 fighters were killed by IEDs in Jabaliya. It's time for tough questions (of why going building to building instead of air striking or tank fire.)

🔹HAMAS.. Report: Muhammad Sinwar replaced his brother as the leader of Hamas.

🔹US CENTRAL COMMAND.. General Michael Korilla will arrive tomorrow for a visit to Israel.

🔹US Ambassador to the UN: The US believes that Francesca Albania, the UN's special rapporteur for the “occupied” territories, is not suitable for her position. The UN should not tolerate anti-Semitism from an official appointed to promote human rights.

🔸DEAL NEWS.. proposal of the day: new Qatari proposal: a month of truce in exchange for 11 hostages, mostly females, without ending the war.  As always, Hamas has not agreed while these are publicly floated to pressure Israel.

.. Hezbollah official: "We will not hold talks under fire.. And we have not received an official offer.” (After the visit by the US envoy.)

3 ISRAELI ‘HOSTAGES’ KILLED BY THE IDF.

Hebrew Ch.12:

“Ron Sherman, Nick Beizer, and Elia Toledano were killed by an IDF shelling, after the military was unaware they were in the presence of a senior Hamas figure who was targeted and eliminated.

The IDF has been aware of these details since February but has not released the information publicly.”

Why do they keep killing their own?

[vague-humanoid]

The chief of Israel’s police intelligence division plans to resign, Israeli media reported on 4 September.

This comes amidst a recent wave of resignations in the Israeli military and security establishment. 

“Dep. Ch. Dror Assaraf, head of the police intelligence division, announced to [newly appointed] Police Commissioner Daniel Levi on Wednesday, his intention to step down from his role,” the Jerusalem Post said. 

According to Hebrew newspaper Maariv, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir – who is in charge of the prison system and police – has been blocking the promotion of several officers, including Assaraf. Israeli media reported earlier this year that Israel’s High Court has shown great concern over a law passed in December 2022 which granted Ben Gvir broader power over the police system. 

The same Maariv report, released on 4 September, said that the appointment of every new police commissioner is accompanied by a wave of resignations. It adds that some realize they may not get promoted and decide to resign, while others are notified that they should retire.

Assaraf is the fourth to resign from his post in recent days.

Major General Tamir Yadai, the commander of the Israeli army’s ground forces, decided to resign for “personal reasons,” Hebrew news site Walla reported on 3 September.

Walla also recently reported that the commander of Israel’s Unit 8200, Brigadier General Yossi Shariel, plans to announce his resignation in weeks to come. Unit 8200 is the same unit whose headquarters was targeted by Hezbollah as part of its retaliatory attack in late August.

Hello,

My name is Anas Al Burri. I am 17 years old, and I live in G*za. My sister has jaundice because she gave birth to her child in an unhygienic area during the war. She has no medication, and her condition is worsening, almost life-threatening. She is too ill to produce milk for her son, and we can't get milk from anywhere else. I have no medication for my diabetes! I am missing insulin, and my blood sugar is critically high, often above 180 and sometimes even 400. I suffer from hyperglycemia attacks and can't get to a hospital because we are in the northern part of G*za.

Three months ago, my 14-year-old brother Ahmad was searching for something to eat when he was sh*ot in the ch*est by sni*pers from a kilometer away. The bul*let went straight through his body. He was just a CHILD! We still can't believe it and keep thinking he will come back any moment. We didn't even have time to mourn him before the next family members were kill*ed.

The hardships my family and I face are beyond what words can describe. This is our last resort.

We are reaching out to you with a desperate plea. We need your help to survive. Your donation can provide us with the life-saving medications and food that we desperately need. Every act of kindness brings us closer to safety and restores a glimmer of hope in our hearts.

With your support, you can give us and many other families in G*za a chance to survive and rebuild our shattered lives. Help us survive and leave G*za so that the last of our family does not perish.

Thank you for your empathy and kindness.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Anas Al-Burri and Family

❤❤

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. I really hope your family's situation improves soon💔

We are left with only a small family: my father, my mother, my five-year-old brother, my eight-year-old sister, my two married sisters, and me. We have lost everything and are fighting daily to survive. Our farm, where we kept livestock and grew vegetables and figs, was destroyed and occupied. Israeli soldiers now occupy the land, taking away our ability to live a peaceful and dignified life. I wake up every day to the cries of my younger brother and sister, who are too young to understand why their world has turned into a nightmare. My mother tries to comfort us, but I see the fear and despair in her eyes. My father, once a proud man, now stands defeated, unable to protect his family. We are reaching out to you with a desperate plea. We need your help to survive. Your donation can provide us with the life-saving medications and food that we desperately need. Every act of kindness brings us closer to safety and restores a glimmer of hope in our hearts.
