The Druze tell Smotrich off in occupied Majdal Shams

The visit of Israeli ministers to the town of Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan has angered the residents, according to the Israeli media. Channel 13 reported angry protesters shouted at Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, asking him to leave. “Get out of here, criminal, we don’t want you in the Golan,” one person said, according to the broadcaster.

Transcription of Bisan's words: Did you watch it? The video? It was so slow, it was so painful to us. It was so unnecessary even if they wanted to kill us all. Even if it's a genocide, even if they are criminals. They could have done this in different ways. They wanted to burn us alive. They did this. They're playing. It was unnecessary but they're trying new ways to kill. It was unnecessary at all. At all. These people, I just can't describe the video - it was the first time that I saw when I woke up and now I see people, I see the scene, the fire everywhere I look. The journalists there said that the people were inside the fire were at least three (3) in the video; a man, woman and a little girl. Israel commits all these massacres and then tells the world that it has the right to defend itself. Why? To avoid another holocaust cause it's never again. But what about this? Isn't that a holocaust or it's never again when its for thr God chosen people and the white people only and when it's about Palestinians and Gazans, and Arabs, it's okay, let them burn. Isn't that a holocaust? ..... Note: this is a transcription, NOT a translation. This is in case the audio or captions are removed.

Mid-December 2023: while the population in world's largest concentration camp is still being massacred by the world's most moral army, before the lifeless bodies of the murdered Palestinian children have turned cold, real estate firm Harey Zahav, a leading company in building illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, has announced plans to build luxury seaside residences over Gaza's rubble:

“!תתעוררו, בית על החוף זה לא חלום” (“Wake up, a house on the beach is not a dream!”)

“!עכשיו במחירי פריסייל” (“Now at presale prices!”)

ARAB ISRAELI PROTESTERS RALLY ON LAND DAY FOR AN END TO THE GENOCIDE IN THE GAZA STRIP

📸 Thousands of Arab Israeli protesters rally on Friday to end the Zionist genocide in the Gaza Strip, waving Palestinian flags on Palestinian Land Day, and marking the violent 1976 crackdown on protests against the Zionist seizure of land owned by Arab citizens.

On March 30th, 1976, as Arab Israelis protested the seizure of 20'000 dunums of land, over 6'300 of which were owned by Arab citizens of "Israel", as part of the Israeli occupation's stated goal of "Judaization of the Galilee", the Israeli occupation forces, in conjunction with the Israeli police, led a violent cracked down on protesters.

During the 1976 protests, the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and police responded by killing six Arab citizens, half of whom were women, along with the wounding of more than 100 others and the imprisoning hundreds more.

Today's protests involved thousands of Arab citizens of "Israel", who waved Palestinian flags despite the local authorities banning the flag, and waving banners, some of which read, "Stop the War on Gaza!"

Israelis of Arab descent make up about 21% of the current population of the occupied Palestinian territories, usually refered to as "Arab Israelis".

Today's protestors also included a number of Jewish Israelis as well, some carrying placards that read, "Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies."

Arab Israelis and Palestinians in the occupied West Bank gather each year on March 30th to mark Land Day with protests and Palestinian flags to commemorate the importance of the date and the violent events of 1976.

Saj Issa, “Americana Hammam” Series

The artist is interested in late capitalism and its violence, and how brand intervention in societal spaces has contributed to the cultural erasure of diasporic communities. 

Issa’s recent work continues her abiding interest in pattern. The Americana Hammam series consists of wall based two-dimensional works that feature silkscreened and hand painted patterns on ceramic tiles with corporate logos on the surface. 

The blue patterns are appropriated from traditional vessels and tiles from countries including Turkey, Palestine, and China while the logos are iconic brands well familiar to a global audience. The artist chooses the brands—Nike, Caterpillar, Chase, Coca Cola—for their lax corporate policies around global warming and climate change, thus exposing to viewers how we are all implicated in this crisis.

Issa grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, near Ferguson, where the Black Lives Matter movement sparked, and made summer visits to her grandparents’ home in the West Bank of Ramallah, Palestine. “I love these two communities immensely,” Issa said. “Growing up between those places, it’s impossible not to make the connections of injustice and for my art to not be expressive of those two homes.”

While visiting Palestine a few years ago, Issa recalled driving around the West Bank, noticing new street signs. She realized the signposts customarily written in Hebrew, Arabic, and English featured the names of towns as they would be identified in Israel. For Issa, reinserting the descriptions on signs or painting native vegetation in occupied Palestinian territories is a way of preserving language, land, and culture.

“The signs in this work, similarly to the negation of Palestinian villages, after so long of rewriting or unsolicited decisions made on behalf of our societies, influences the memory of our heritage,” she said.

In addition to the 193 countries recognized by the UN, my project also includes countries with partial recognition and dependent territories of the other nations. The 15 extra nations are Kosovo, Palestine and Taiwan.

The territories are: Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam (USA); Cayman Islands, Bermuda and British Virgin Islands (UK); Hong Kong and Macau (China); Cook Islands (New Zealand); Aruba (Netherlands) and Faroe Islands (Denmark).

Note: the counting of countries in my project is influenced by the countries participating in the Olympic Games and/or the Paralympic Games.

In short, while there are 193 countries formally recognized by the UN, my project includes a total of 208 nations and territories, and is not limited to fully sovereign nations. 💙 🇦🇸 🇦🇼 🇧🇲 🇻🇬 🇰🇾 🇨🇰 🇫🇴 🇬🇺 🇭🇰 🇽🇰 🇲🇴 🇵🇸 🇵🇷 🇹🇼 🇻🇮 💙
