There was another 4 minutes air raid warning this evening. These happen a few times a day, but usually not that long.

Israeli First-Grader Finds a 3,500-Year-Old Egyptian Amulet on a School Trip

At first she was upset she couldn’t keep it, but Amalia Riverkin eventually came around.

A first-grade teacher at Alumim School in Efrat, a settlement in Palestine, recently took her class on a trip to Tel Azekah, sometimes described as the site of the biblical encounter between David and Goliath. Showing them a piece of old pottery she had picked up, she explained that there were many ancient artifacts and unique items in the ground.

When she noted her pupil and their friend lagging behind the group toward the end of the trip, she found them studying a tiny rock that looked like a bead.

“I looked at it closely and saw incised lines, I turned it over and saw ancient Egyptian writing,” Hanna Spitzer, the teacher, later said. “At that moment I realized that what I was holding in my hand was thousands of years old.” In fact, experts now say the item dates back some 3,500 years.

Spitzer contacted the Israel Antiquities Authority, and Omer Shalev, director of the organization’s Jerusalem Education Center, traveled to the school that same day and presented Amalia with a certificate of appreciate.

The scarab seal is a talisman in the shape of a dung beetle, an animal that was sacred to the ancient Egyptians and served as a symbol of new life. Such scarab amulets found in modern-day Israel indicate an Egyptian presence there some 3,500 years ago. The amulet bears the name of the sun god Amun-Ra, one of the great deities in the Egyptian pantheon during the New Kingdom (16th to 11th centuries B.C.E.). Five scarabs inscribed with his name had already been found at Tel Azekah.

“Many people have antiquities in their homes that came into their possession under different circumstances: some were collected in the field in the course of agricultural work or walking and others were inherited,” Eli Escusido, Antiquities Authority director stated in a press release published on the organization’s Facebook page. “Many of these people are unaware that by law they have to report the discovery of antiquities as they are legally public historical treasures.”

Just seeing the posts and reports in the captions of eye on palestine’s instagram account from just the last 24 HOURS is crazy. Fucking crazy. Over 100 deaths in not even a full day again. And then media says they are lying about it bc the numbers are so „unclear“ like dude they don’t get THE TIME to even count let alone bury their people with dignity, it’s just too many in too little time. I think the traumatization I already have from previous videos is at its final point but it keeps going (again, my lucky privileged ass watching from a safe home in a first world country while they have no choice but to see and feel all this in real life). They let 20 aid trucks in when several hundreds have been waiting for days at the closed border. Before the „“““““counterattack““““ around 100-200 aid trucks reportedly came into Gaza daily to deliver goods (reports on the definitive number differ tho, some say it’s been even more usually). Now they let 20 in after over two weeks of complete blockade. This is still inhumane conditions. People aren’t just dying from attacks but also hunger and thirst and getting sick from dirty water. I don’t understand how this can still be going on, i read more than half of the buildings in Gaza are already destructed and most victims are women and children. Keep in mind Gaza is only like 40 kilometers long and 10 kilometers wide, that’s like not even half of most big cities like berlin or nyc. Way to fucking go israhell

ngl I looked for a reblog like this because this is exactly right.

in 2023 I saw lots of posts with tens of thousands of notes calling public figures zionists, and linking a source, and the source would just say that they are jewish, have family in Israel, have visited Israel ever, and/or were born in Israel. Not that they supported the actions of the Israeli government.

Obviously, we do not know Twitch's intentions, but saying that this is a simple case of people supporting genocide is disingenuous.

Edit: OP somehow hid my response to them from the notes and blocked me so I can't make a new one, but this one is still showing up, so here's a link with full context: https://www.tumblr.com/styrofauxm/767267904386416640/yes-i-did-scroll-through-the-reblogs-to-find-the?source=share

Not cool to accuse me of confirmation bias when the only post between this reblog and the one I responded to initially was a clear conspiracy either. And very not cool to deliberately hide evidence disproving your claims.

That’s not how slurs work but not like genocide supporters give a shit.

I feel like there's a gulf of difference between the desire to keep a part of a loved one alive, and the deliberate propagation of an Ethnostate through harvesting dead people sperm

although the practice itself is a bit creepy (and a massive violation of the dead person's consent and bodily autonomy if they have not given their explicit consent previously)

but no this is 100% an Ethnostate thing can't stress that enough

It's actually really common in Israel (idk if in any other countries?) To try and retrieve sperms from people that experienced early death so that family members could get a chance for offsprings. Usually it's parents that lost their only child or romantic partner.

There was a case just a couple weeks ago about a gay man that lost his partner and he's fighting for the right to fertilize his partner's sperm so he could keep their dream of having child alive

Like lol I get why it's wild af to just tweet about sperms but context is important

I cannot really express how not normal it is to have a team of military embryologists who harvest semen from soldier corpses. The fact that even exists is ghoulish and bizarre.

The skies of Gaza fill with shifting shapes on an early spring morning. At first they are barely visible, only specks soaring above central Gaza’s wetlands. Mandy Sirdah quickly raises her binoculars. “Storks!” she shouts excitedly. Close by, Lara Sirdah, her identical twin sister wearing matching clothes, grabs her long-focus camera and points it to the sky. “So many! So beautiful!” she cries out with joy as she snaps photos of hundreds of white storks flying in circles above her. Every spring, millions of birds set out from their wintering grounds in Africa and make their way north to Europe and Asia. At the intersection of three continents, the Middle East is an important stopover and one of the world’s busiest corridors for bird migration. Many of these birds fly over Gaza, an overcrowded coastal enclave often described as an “open-air prison.” The birds soar above more than two million people, most of them refugees whose families were forced to leave their villages in 1948 with the establishment of the State of Israel and have been unable to return. Concentrated in refugee camps, Palestinians in Gazahave also been confined by Israeli policies of military closure over many decades and a brutal air, sea and land blockade imposed since 2007. “Our movement is very restricted,” says Lara, who feels cut off from the rest of the world. “We wish we were birds so we could move freely.” Over the past years, birdwatching trips to the Strip’s wetlands, groves and fields have offered the twins a rare opportunity to escape the feeling of confinement. With their heads raised to the sky, they search for birds and dream of flight

maybe the reason you are dismissed as conspiratorial and antisemitic is because you are!

like yes, sept 5 was about israel related topics, i will give you that one. the brutalist primarily takes place in america but does have characters make aliyah. emilia perez apparently had a character get surgery in tlv and that’s it. so i guessss if you’re particularly conspiracy brained you could make this argument. nevermind that the brutalist has been in development since 2018, five years before this current war began. but ok.

but a real pain? a movie about jewish americans on a jewish history trip in eastern europe that never mentions israel afaik? methinks you just have trouble with stories about jews in general if you’re calling that propaganda…what’s the word for people who feel that way about jews? oh right, antisemites.

and don’t even get me started on lee. this claim isn’t antisemitic so much as it is downright bizarre. i have never heard of this movie but it seems to be a sept 2023 (note that that is before oct 2023) british ww2 movie about an american (non-jewish) journalist that doesn’t seem to even focus on the holocaust much? like how are you drawing the conclusion that that is pro-israeli propoganda? this person’s brain must be more worm-eaten than rfk…

If you live in Gaza during the Israeli genocide, you are lucky to be able to buy a kilogram of meat for under $50. Right now prices have skyrocketed, particularly in the North—imagine trying to feed your family on these prices. Now try to imagine you have no income because an occupying settler army is committing genocide against you and your people. Right now, outside contributions are one of the most important ways, if not THE main way, to get direct help to individual families.

I can’t believe white evangelicals would rather have Saudi Arabia archaic barbaric way of living just so Black people, women and immigrants won’t gain and sustain equity that is beneficial to global humanity.

It’s like white Anglo Saxon’s Christianity was all just postering to seize and maintain power.

Yo shoutout budman w the fuego from mx. on Jah.

Also also, no disrespect to Islamic nations where human rights, civil rights, and gender equality is not treated/weaponized like the west are invading by governments and militias whos very placement of power and possession of weapons are from the very boogeymen and monsters and satanic places that they scare other off with.

If I’m gonna dance with a devil, I’m gonna dance with the one that will at least let me without stoning and barefoot and pregnant impending doom and danger.

I began work immediately, performing 10 to 12 surgeries a day, working 14 to 16 hours at a time. The operating room would often shake from the incessant bombings, sometimes as frequent as every 30 seconds. We operated in unsterile settings that would’ve been unthinkable in the United States. We had limited access to critical medical equipment: We performed amputations of arms and legs daily, using a Gigli saw, a Civil War-era tool, essentially a segment of barbed wire. Many amputations could’ve been avoided if we’d had access to standard medical equipment. It was a struggle trying to care for all the injured within the constructs of a healthcare system that has utterly collapsed. I listened to my patients as they whispered their stories to me, as I wheeled them into the operating room for surgery. The majority had been sleeping in their homes, when they were bombed. I couldn’t help thinking that the lucky ones died instantaneously, either by the force of the explosion or being buried in the rubble. The survivors faced hours of surgery and multiple trips to the operating room, all while mourning the loss of their children and spouses. Their bodies were filled with shrapnel that had to be surgically pulled out of their flesh, one piece at a time. I stopped keeping track of how many new orphans I had operated on. After surgery they would be filed somewhere in the hospital, I’m unsure of who will take care of them or how they will survive. On one occasion, a handful of children, all about ages 5 to 8, were carried to the emergency room by their parents. All had single sniper shots to the head. These families were returning to their homes in Khan Yunis, about 2.5 miles away from the hospital, after Israeli tanks had withdrawn. But the snipers apparently stayed behind. None of these children survived.
