#they've also since bombed Egypt

[a-typical]

"...and distribute leaflets warning the local people against cooperating with the Arab Liberation Army. Any resistance to such an incursion usually ended with the Jewish troops firing at random and killing several villagers." (1947)

Israel is dropping leaflets above Gaza, warning residents to flee & warning those who don't evacuate northern Gaza, will be seen as "an accomplice of a terrorist organization." A breach of international law & justification for the atrocities to follow. (2023)

Threatening leaflets were also distributed in Syrian and Lebanese villages on Palestine's border, warning the population. "If the war will be taken to your place, it will cause massive expulsion of the villagers with their wives and their children. Those of you who do not wish to come to such a fate, I will tell them: in this war there will be merciless killing, no compassion. If you are not participating in this war, you will not have to leave your houses and villages.

BREAKING: Israel is now bombing Syria, Gaza, and South Lebanon.

[sayruq]

Hezbollah has spent the past 2 months attacking Israeli settlements, military sites and installations, and soldiers. Israel has swung from threatening war to asking the West to intervene, in between bombing Lebanese villages and killing civilians and journalist. We now have entered a new chapter

As this thread goes on to explain, Hezbollah would never agree to disarm even it means Lebanon regains all its territories. In fact, Hezbollah criticised Hamas' 2017 charter because it was willing to accept the 1967 border and therefore the two state solution. Nothing less than neutralising the Israeli threat would do.

The thread goes on to explain that Israel is hoping to use domestic pressures to get Hezbollah to agree to this plan. One problem: Hezbollah operates regardless if whether or not it has national support. At any rate, the organisation will never accept the proposed plan.

Weeks ago, a minister in Israel's war cabinet threatened to leave unless a war with Hezbollah is considered. As you can see in this post and in this article, tens of thousands of Israelis evacuated from the Northern territory want war with Hezbollah so they can return to their settlements. For weeks, the mayors of those settlements have made statements saying Israelis can never return unless Hezbollah is removed from the border. The general idea is that once Hamas is defeated in Gaza, Israel will go to war with Hezbollah.

But Hamas isn't being defeated and Hezbollah is significantly stronger than all the Resistance factions in Gaza. Israel is losing in Gaza. It has the gotten to the point where it can't even resupply its troops from the ground. So many of its soldiers are wounded and left disabled that they're now sending them to civilian hospitals because they've run out of space in their de facto military hospitals (the speculated number is over 10,000 injured since Oct 26th).

What this proposal shows is that Israel has never been more weaker. Israel is terrified of Hezbollah and I can't blame them because if they're struggling this much against the Gazan militia groups, imagine how badly things will go if they ever decide to make the conflict at the border into a war. They lost against Hezbollah twice already, a new war will make it three loses.

Israel would never negotiate unless it was backed into the corner. That's what the temporary truce also showed. Hamas sent their terms for a ceasefire, Israel laughed them off, then weeks later, after taking a great deal of damage, Israel returned to the negotiating table to hear the same exact terms that they were given before.

After Israel refused to extend the truce, Hamas has changed its approach. No more temporary truces. Hostages will only be exchanged after a comprehensive ceasefire. Rumour has it (its practically confirmed in Arab media) that Israel has asked Qatar and Egypt to restart mediation after pulling away Mossad negotiators two weeks ago.

Now, that Israel has shown its belly vis-à-vis Hezbollah, I expect all the Resistance Axis to continue tightening the noose around Israel.

Palestine has never been closer to liberation than it is now and it will be closer still tomorrow.

HELP AHMED AND MARAM REACH 35K IN 13 DAYS

My friend Ahmed, his wife Maram, and their three little children Habiba, Kareem, and the infant Muhammad have been trapped in besieged Gaza for almost an entire year. They've been forced to endure 11 displacements, malnutrition threatening both mother and baby, hepatitis, exhaustion, and the constant threat of murder by bombing. All they want is to live in peace and safety together, and in order to do this, they've been fundraising since April to raise enough money to evacuate to Egypt once the border is open again so that they may resettle elsewhere.

After 5-6 months, they've almost completed their goal of €40,000. At €33,025, they only need €6,975 to finish their campaign. Ahmed and I have set a short-term goal to work towards -- €35,000, for which they need €1,975. I'd like to see it completed by the end of the month to give this family some hope as their campaign has started to stagnate.

I can personally attest to their legitimacy as I've seen multiple modes of verification. I am in a group chat with he and their beneficiary, who I helped connect them to, and there have been multiple successful transfers with proof that both can attest to. They've also been vetted by @/el-shab-hussein and are featured on his spreadsheet, and have been featured in a video by YouTuber Ro Ramdin. They are a 100% real Palestinian family in need.

Please give what you can. You can also join my authentic crystal jewelry raffle helping to benefit them and 2 other families if you'd like to win something for a good cause.

"According to the United Nations, roughly 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis have been killed in the ongoing conflict since 2008, not counting the recent fatalities." - X

Palestinian deaths: 6,407

Israeli deaths: 308

Palestinian injuries: 152,560

Israeli injuries: 6307

Palestinian children's deaths: 1,437

Israeli children's deaths: 25

Palestinians children's injuries: 32,271

Israeli's children injuries: 524

Palestinian women's deaths: 626

Israeli women's deaths: 36

Palestinian women's injuries: 8,953

Israeli women's injuries: 218

(this is total, so not just civilians.)

168.6 times more Palestinians were killed than Israelis

24.2 times more Palestinians were injured than Israelis

57.5 times more Palestinian children were murdered than Israelis

61.6 times more Palestinian children were injured than Israelis

17.4 times more Palestinian women were murdered than Israelis

41 times more Palestinian women were injured than Israelis

source: UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

but yes "Israel is protecting itself and not at all carrying out genocide or hurting innocent Palestinians. Israel has never hurt Palestinian civilians and this is totally an equal fight where both Israelis and Palestinians are equally wrong, equally at fault, and Israelis deserve to defend themselves by wiping out an entire region of 2 million Palestinians (most who are children) but the barbaric Palestinians better not fight back, defend themselves or hurt their oppressors.

Israelis are justified in their slaughter and oppression of Palestinians for DECADES because of the action of Hamas 3 days ago, but Hamas’ actions 3 days ago are completely wrong in every way shape or form, no question, despite the war crimes Israel has committed towards the Palestinian people and the people of Gaza for decades. That makes perfect logical sense

Israel has only started harming Palestinians because of Hamas, despite the fact that Palestinians were being murdered and displaced for more than 40 years before Hamas was ever a thing. Again, Israelis are perfectly justified in any horror or warcrimes they've committed and the UN will never condemn them and will sweep their infinite war crimes under the rug, but Hamas needs to be stopped which includes trying to suspend humanitarian aid to innocent Palestinians (even though most Palestinians aren't part of Hamas and this will affect the innocent people in need of help) and also cutting off their medical and water supplies (even though it'll affect almost a million innocent children stuck in an illegal blockade) but billions of dollars, supplies, and military support needs to be sent to Israel immediately!!!

The world cannot remain silent and the Israelis deserve our support, but please do ignore how the world's been silent for Palestinians all these years!!

We will show you videos of horror from other countries taken years ago, or even crimes Israelis have committed but spread the news that it was Palestinians who did such things, but we will not show any of the evidence of Palestinians refusing to harm women and children and instead taking Israelis as hostages, majority of them soldiers.

We will show you Muslims across the world celebrating the death of innocent people (when in reality they're protesting in order to call out their hypocritical governments who support an apartheid state) but we'll conveniently ignore how the people of Sderot (the city nearest to Gaza that Palestinians were recently able to enter after 16 years of being caged in Gaza) used to watch rockets hit Gaza and cheer on, calling it " best reality show" and "better than the world cup" back in 2014 which is one of the deadliest years for Palestinians (more than 2000 massacred).

Israel will warn the people of Gaza to flee and then go right ahead and bomb the only route they could possibly use: the Rafah crossing to Egypt and it will also threaten to target any humanitarian aid trucks trying to enter into Gaza (X, X, X)

Israel will also murder journalists, including an American citizen which is a war crime and illegal, but will face no consequences and try to frame Palestinians instead.

but remember! Palestinians are all terrorist islamist barbarians and you MUST support Israel and its oppression of Palestinians, otherwise you are antisemitic. Every Palestinian deserves to die and Israel is justified in carrying out mass genocide (by taking away electricity, water, and food) with the support of foreign countries because of the actions of Hamas, but Palestinians will never be justified in attacking their oppressors or defending themselves from 70 years of oppression. Shut up, these things aren't meant to make sense, just support Israel.

[surplus-of-sarcasm]

I am largely very unpolitical on here, and this is my writing blog, but it is also the one with the most followers, and this needs to be said.

TW: A lot of talk about war and war crimes

What Israel is doing to Palestine is nothing short of several war crimes, and the US's "stance" on it is a pathetic excuse for these attrocities.

Tell me, how do you justify the slaughter of innocents, of women, children, elderly and people who have no business in this, who don't deserve all this torture? I mean, it is ignorant to say crap like they've been caught in the crossfire because this is clearly deliberate. How can anyone justify cutting off electricity, water, medical care and basic needs of life and the overall subhuman treatment of Palestinians? They're not even letting other governments help.

And about Hamas? I don't support what they did in the slightest. If anything, all they did was give Israel an "excuse" to do this to innocent civilians, no scratch that, not an excuse, a supposed reason that the ignorant choose to believe. Since when has punishing innocent people for the actions of an extremist group that doesn't give two damns about civilians and their country been seen as fair? As something to defend?

"Israel is the only military to warn civilians before bombing them." Oh my God. How admirable. So if I were to call someone and tell them I'd murder them and I do just that, I somehow don't end up in prison? I get a goddamn medal of honour? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.

And somehow, they want to pawn all this on Egypt. Give us access to your borders to house the civilians so we can destroy Hamas. Like Egypt is somehow the villain here. Like Israel doesn't have any bad blood with Egypt. And like Israel doesn't know who it's hurting. Like they actually care about those civilians. You see anyone from Hamas suffering? Hell no. Here's their cock and bull argument blown out of the water.

Don't expect me to believe that a military as powerful as theirs, however scummy it is, doesn't know who it's hurting. Like compassion is a trait of theirs. They just need a stupid argument to make it look like somehow any of this is okay. Like cutting off people's access to electricity, food, water, and bloody medical supplies is "defending themselves."

And listen. Hamas are a bunch of terrorist bastards. What they did is disgusting, and I'm not supportive of anti-semitism at all. But stop treating Israel like the bloody tooth fairy and look at what they've been doing for years to the Palestinians. It wasn't heaven before this attack, but now it's full-blown hell.

And before anyone gives me spiel about collateral damage, look up the West Bank. A Hamas-free area still being targeted.

I stand with Palestine. 🇵🇸 If you stand with Israel, please just dni. Block me if you want to. I'm not in the habit of having fights with people online, and please don't try changing my mind. I'm usually quite open to discussion, but not on this. Never on this.

Also, I've referenced things from this brilliant interview. I highly recommend watching it.

STOP! Help Needed!

Ibrahim and his wife Manal have been struggling to survive in Ghazzah. They were displaced to southern Ghazzah, where they face starvation and the surrounding bombs.

Ibrahim has also been unable to contact his family, since the internet connection is Ghazzah is so poor.

In order to help them evacuate to Egypt, they are trying to raise $50,000 USD. So far, they've only raised $6,618; their last donation was 5 days ago.

Please help them however you can. Donate if you're able and share their campaign; every contribution matters.

[counterpunches]

There's so much to unpack here and so much incorrectly and inappropriately used terminology, but no amount of effort and information is going to convince some people that Israel is not a white settler colonial state (Jews have lived on the land since ancient times x; 70% of the current Israeli population are brown and black Jews who have been ethnically cleansed from the other African and Middle Eastern Arab nations like Libya, Jordan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, x x; 60% the land that was offered to the Jews by the British aka actual white colonialists in the 1947 UN Partition Plan was desert) x or that they're not attempting genocide (Palestinian population has grown in the past thirty years; Egypt also enforces the blockade and security wall and no one is BDSing them???; Israel is the only one to have ever offered Palestinians their own sovereignty and state despite both Egypt and Jordan having had control of the territories) of an indigenous population (Jews are as indigenous to the region as Palestinians).

Has there been a disgusting right-wing political party in power in the Israeli government? Yes. (Have the majority of Israelis been protesting loudly for months against this government and their policies much the same way many Americans did while Trump was President? Yes x x) Are there abuses of power and Israeli settlers committing domestic terrorism against Palestinians in the West Bank? Yes. (Is Israel itself an apartheid state for Arabs and Muslims? No. Arabic is one of the three official languages of Israel, along with Hebrew and English.Do Arabs face discrimination? Certainly they can.America lets not call the kettle black, shall we?)

But fine, whatever. Keep whatever narrative you want. But what I can't refrain from is addressing blatant lies and manipulation made in some of the links and statements made at the outset of the post. So one at a time, here goes:

First, the narrative was Israel would never bomb hospitals While Israel could certainly bomb a hospital if they wanted to, the article linked in the post is from October 18th, and it has since been proven that the rocket was a failed launch by Hamas, hit a parking lot near the hospital and killed 12-100 people as opposed to the 500+ initially reported x, x, x, x, x

Now, the hospitals are Hamas bases Israel has always maintained that mosques, schools, and hospitals have served as Hamas bases x and additional intelligence confirms reports x, x

First, we are not letting fuel in until the hostages are released. Now, we are not accepting the hostages back because that would stop our ground invasion and let Hamas win the article linked above literally explains why Israel didn't accept the hostage deal, because Hamas demanded 5 days to get those 50 hostages and "refused to provide a detailed list of the hostages who would be released" and also idk, maybe people change their minds as new information is released throughout the course of a conflict and hostage negotiations drag on? also idk, its a common tactic to not want to negotiate with terrorists?

If you look up "Hamas rape" on google, the first link leads to Times of Israel saying Israel has found no forensic evidence of sexual violence, and only one eyewitness testimony out of 3.5k people attending the rave Several people already commented about this in the notes, but jfc the link provide literally describes why there's "no forensic evidence of sexual violence" is because they were focused on identifying bodies and physical proof is limited due to bodies either being burned or decomposing and too much time has passed for legal evidence. there are dozens of statements from people collecting bodies that they've seen evidence of rape, also video evidence, as well as both victim and perpetrator testimonies ("believe women" but not if they're Israeli women, I guess). An article from yesterday, November 14, states they're still trying to build rape cases with other evidence.

If you Google "Hamas beheaded babies" the top links say they have no evidence for the claim besides word of mouth from extremist soldiers. Israeli extremists think about the ugliest goriest scene they can make out in their sick heads, tell that to a international journalist and they run away with it like it's gospel. There's nothing to suggest the soldier interviewed is an extremist, Unless by 'extremist', thats just supposed to means "Israeli" so therefore all Israelis are extremists? but yeah, international journalists tend to run with something that is a good headline even when they really, really shouldn't. Like, idk 'Israel bombs hospital, 500+ dead' using nothing but reports from an Iranian-proxy genocidal terrorist organization x x Volunteers with emergency response groups have described babies with marks from a kitchen oven on its body, severed limbs, stabbed in the head, tortured, confirmed photographs of bodies riddled with bullets, bodies burnt. (love that the argument for the radicalized is "ok so babies were murdered but they weren't beheaded, god" as if that somehow justifies either what happened or your reaction to it)

The situation for innocent Palestinians is a horrific and dire crisis. Spreading misinformation or skewing it to be intentionally misleading when the situation is complicated enough is a pretty shitty thing to do.

Follow qualified journalists who are dedicated to speaking truth and admitting where there might be bias in their own perspectives!! (Yes, its hard to find these! But worthwhile to do! Here are some listed below!)

There are plenty of non-Jewish Iranian voices like yashari ali and the wellness therapist, left wing trans Jews like dana levinson and queer Arab Israelis like Muhammad Zoabi, non-Jewish educators like Sharon McMahon out there speaking against Hamas and Iran, against right-wing Israeli politics and settlers, against antisemitism, against Islamophobia.

Be constructive. Donate to organizations helping on the ground like The Alliance for Middle East Peace, Doctors without Borders, or World Central Kitchen.

And for the love of god, do some fucking research.

Subscribe to news media with perspectives outside your own so the world isn't a mirror but a window. Especially when its this important. Too many lives around the world depend on it.

I can't stop thinking about the news out of Palestine. Israel is sieging al Shifa hospital. Videos of people's limbs being severed off are haunting (graphic video tw). The hospital has ran out of fuel and 39 babies in incubators are fending for their lives by themselves, because Israel has stationed snipers around the hospital and is shooting all medical crew that walks into their sight.

First, the narrative was Israel would never bomb hospitals. Now, the hospitals are Hamas bases. Then, we respect journalists. Now, we have a fucking kill list of journalists because they are Hamas collaborators. First, we are not letting fuel in until the hostages are released. Now, we are not accepting the hostages back because that would stop our ground invasion and let Hamas win. And I could go on about every single lie they're making up. If you look up "Hamas rape" on google, the first link leads to Times of Israel saying Israel has found no forensic evidence of sexual violence, and only one eyewitness testimony out of 3.5k people attending the rave. If you Google "Hamas beheaded babies" the top links say they have no evidence for the claim besides word of mouth from extremist soldiers. Israeli extremists think about the ugliest goriest scene they can make out in their sick heads, tell that to a international journalist and they run away with it like it's gospel.

And children are being killed in the name of these lies. Thousands are being displaced in images that remind me of the pictures of Tantura 75 years ago, with their hands up so the tanks don't shoot them. Amputees are leaving the hospitals in wheelchairs hours after their surgeries because they are being shot at. Elders who survived the Nakba on 48 are having to walk towards Southern Gaza on foot (imagine walking from one end of your city to the other on foot), displaced again. People are cheering for the haunting images of white phosphorus bombs being dropped over Gaza. Gazan workers who were arrested in the West Bank are being thrust back into the bombings wearing numbered labels.

This is not normal. We are seeing the early stages of the settler colonial genocide of an indigenous population. Native leaders who have visited Gaza say its refugee camps look eerily like reservations. We can stop this. For the first time we are able to see wide scale accounts from the hands of the people suffering the genocide, and Israel is so scared of it they have cut all communications in Gaza.

This is our litmus test. I think we have never seen more clearly, with Palestine, Armenia, Congo and Sudan how colonialism has made our world a rotten place to live in.

The South African apartheid collapsed due to boycotts. We have to do everything in our power to stop Israel's hegemony. Even talking to a group of friends about Palestine changes the status quo. There's no world where we can live peacefully if Israel accomplishes their goals.

Educate yourself. Read into Palestinian history and the occupation. You can't common sense people out of decades of propaganda. If your arguments crumble when a zionist brings up the "disengagement of Gaza", you have to learn more.

You can participate in boycotts wherever you are in the world, through BDS guidelines. Don't be overwhelmed by gigantic boycott lists. BDS explicitly targets only a few brands which have bigger impact. You can stop consuming from as many brands as you want, though, and by all means feel free to give a 1 star review to McDonalds, Papa John, Pizza Hut, Burger King and Starbucks. Right now, they are focusing on boycotting the following:

Carrefour, HP, Puma, Sabra, Sodastream, Ahava cosmetics, Israeli fruits and vegetables

Push for a cultural boycott - pressure your favorite artist to speak out on Palestine and cancel any upcoming performances on occupied territory (Lorde cancelled her gig in Israel because of this. It works.)

If you can, participate in direct action or donate.

Palestine Action works to shut down Israeli weapons factories in the UK and USA, and have successfully shut down one of their firms in London.Some of the activists are going on trial and are calling for mobilizing on court.

Hello dear friends ! ❤🤍💚🖤🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

All positive words can't show how generous you are, especially on the side of sharing my posts to let other donors know about the people of Gaza who are still suffering the horrible circumstances resulting from the injust war on Gaza! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤🤍💚🖤

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart for the support you are showing to help Palestinian families stay safe and alive.🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

Despite the various colours of sufferings and tortures we are undergoing at the moment, your brave stances and support greatly ease and relieve us . Your loud voices and your heroic acts make a great difference to our Palestinian cause. 🖤💚🤍❤🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

We are fundraising such donations to have the least basic needs of life and to help find safety and peace for the little kids who don't deserve to lead such horrific situations.

Thanks to your contribution, my family is on its halfway to reach the goal. All forms of your help make a difference to free the people who have been struggling and paying much for almost 300 hard days. ✌✌✌🖤💚🤍❤🇵🇸🇵🇸

Please keep supporting the fairest cause of the world either by directly donating or sharing the link to let others know. Don't hesitate to help people in tough and dire times till the black days end.

I really hope your family's circumstances improve soon🙏

$43,178 USD raised of $50,000 goal

This family is very close to their goal, but donations have slowed down drastically. they've only received 2 today. please help them if you can.

Every day is a horror movie; we close our eyes and ears to pass through it, but now my fears have been continuously increasing since the time the Israeli Defense Forces declared war on the south where I and my family are staying at the moment. Dangerous bombings are getting closer and the pretended safety in the south seems to vanish. No safe place in Gaza. We are all exposed to be bombed at any moment. Every day , I picture what has been taking place in the north of Gaza for months; lots of relatives have been killed due to the ongoing bombings and shelling, most of them are children and women. I don’t want such horrific incidents happen to my peaceful innocent family; I don’t want to lose my loved family, a matter that makes me forced to ask helpful free people to offer donations to help my family flee this nightmare to the nearby country where there are peace and safety until these black days pass and the war ends. Also, I want to say that I am a high-school student and my study has stopped since 7th October, so I don’t want my dreams and ambitions to disappear. My only chance to realize such dreams is to leave Gaza as soon as possible to join the ongoing intensive classes offered for the Palestinian students who flee the war in Egypt. My dream will come true with your help. My older brothers have also lost their education at university and seemingly the war will kill everything we have been trying to build over years. It seems that our dreams and hopes will be a thing of the past.

[fortressofserenity]

In the end times

Something that's been talked about a lot in Christian circles because the more Jesus is coming soon, the worse the world gets but I could've gotten it backwards. While there were people who've done heinous things before and when Jesus was around on earth, his absence not only went hand in hand with the Christianisation of the world but also how the world's getting more and more corrupt as people fall away from him.

The best example of this would be most of Europe, which was Christian longer, more consistently/frequently and earlier than most of Africa. So far the earliest African countries to be Christianised are Ethiopia, Eritrea, Morocco and Egypt, so they're either Oriental Orthodox or Coptic. However with the two, their Christian populations have dwindled over time. There were some early attempts at evangelising to other African kingdom-states.

There were even missions in what is now present-day Ghana as early as the 17th century, though it didn't explode until sometime between the 19th and 20th centuries. Concurrently, Europe became very secular. So secular that they've become very worldly and hedonistic, so what Europe has is a case of intergenerational backsliding. Each generation becomes less and less devoted to God and his principles, whether if it's becoming merely secular or advocating things he despises.

Something like witchcraft, LGBT stuff and so on, this sounds politically incorrect but it has to be said. America is really the worst of all the western countries not just because it does everything to the contrary despite calling itself a Christian nation, but also because it's Mystery Babylon. There were hints of this nation-state in the Old Testament, though known with different words because by the time we get to the New Testament it was known as a city-state.

In the Old Testament, it was referred to as a kingdom-state west of Cush/Africa but since none of Ethiopia's neighbours never became serious superpowers for long, if at all, and neither Mexico nor Canada became superpowers either that we're left with America as the most realistic candidate. While later on some of the passages referred to Known Babylon at the time, there were others hinting at the emergence of another Babylon.

The daughter of Babylon will get destroyed, not just by an atomic bomb but also made desolate and left to the elements (and dogs). While Known Babylon got metaphorically destroyed, America/Mystery Babylon will literally get destroyed. The daughter of Babylon is really America, largely in spirit and the scale of influence it has over people, albeit multiplied a hundred times as America became the only superpower (and a hyperpower) in the 1990s and 2000s.

Not to mention, this same person goes on prophesising that all of Europe will be under Russian occupation, mostly for its backsliding that this is what it has reaped in aggregate. Africa and Asia aren't any better and could also backslide at any point, but when both Europe and North America will be judged the harshest for their backsliding then that's what they'll all be getting.

PLEASE STOP; This Family Needs Your Help!!

Haythem, his wife, and his two children are all suffering under the genocide in Ghazzah.

Last year, they were displaced from the home, which was later destroyed. The sweet store the family owned was also destroyed, leaving them without their only source of income.

They now live in tents without basic resources to support themselves. Haythem's brother has had to join them, since his wife and children were martyred by Israeli bombs.

In order to evacuate into Egypt, they need to raise $75,000 USD. So far, they've only raised $50,341; their last donation was 4 hours ago.

Please do whatever you can to help them, their lives are in your hands. Donate if you can and share their campaign; every contribution matters.

Not vetted currently, however Haythem has a Twitter account which has posts from as long ago as 2014. As such, I HIGHLY recommend you support this campaign.

Hilarious that you're telling me to learn the history when you don't seem to even know what the mandate of Palestine is, or the mandate system in general honestly. In fact you don't even seem capable of reading a single tumblr post in it's entirety given how you completely disregarded the majority of what I said. I've read the history. I've spent hours and hours reading actual documentation from the UN, and various human rights organizations. These claims aren't coming from some conspiracy blog. The stuff that I've listed isn't controversial among the people in charge of regulating these crimes. Don't tell me I need to "google the whole story."

First of all. No it was not "Egyptian land." Egypt, and Jordan were OCCUPYING that land when the 6 day war started. That land was still recognized as Palestinian by the United nations and Palestinians were supposed to have already had a state established by then. The UN was working to create a Palestinian state since 1947 (they weren't doing a good job, but they did recognize Palestine's right to sovereignty). Also, keep in mind that Egypt and Jordan occupied that territory in the late 1940s because the zionists were attempting to take over ALL of Palestine and more. They were explicitly expansionist and the occupations by Egypt and Jordan were to protect the remaining territory from being stolen. These occupations were still not good for the Palestinian people, but you can't use the excuse that "It wAs EgYpTiaN lANd" when Egypt was only there to protect the land from Israel. Source

Egypt did not bomb Israeli ships to start the six day war. Syria had been skirmishing with Israel for years but Egypt had not attacked when Israel bombed their air force. According to the UN Egypt's blockade was not an act of aggression because it was not a blockade of Israeli territory, but a blockade of their own territorial waters in preparation for an Israeli attack. According to the international community, Israel started that war. Source

I genuinely have no clue where you're getting the idea that Israel tried to give the OPT back to Palestine but it's just plainly false. "Israeli authorities have since 1967 facilitated the transfer of its civilians to the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention." The HRW. They've been settling this land and using Palestinian resources to develop their settlements since the occupation started. The UN has passed countless resolutions condemning Israel's various attempts to annex the land such as, building settlements, claiming Jerusalem as it's capitol, taking control of natural resources, establishing businesses in the OPT, oh and also NOT FUCKING LEAVING. They don't have to be there. They certainly didn't have to be there after their peace agreement with Egypt and Jordan. There were no organized Palestinian military groups at that time. There was no threat that could in any way justify an occupation in the Palestinian territories. Source and Source

Also Hamas was founded in 1987, and they didn't get power in Gaza until 2007 so no, the Palestinian people did not "choose Hamas" in the wake of the 6 day war. Hamas gained power only after decades of broken promises, and violent suppression of Palestinian voices. Hamas gained power because Oslo was a failure that only brought Palestinians further from freedom. "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" JFK.

Next. Israel =/= the Jewish people. In fact, before there was Zionism, there was a Jewish population living in Palestine. I don't have a problem with that. Nor do I have a problem with Jewish people immigrating to Palestine so they can live there in peace. I have a problem with the idea that the Jewish people have the right to OWN this land TO THE EXCLUSION OF it's indigenous population. The Jewish people have a real connection to the land, but they don't have the right to claim it from the people who have actually been living there for thousands of years. Zionism is a colonial ideology. It is based on the idea that a group has the right to violently wrest control of a land from it's inhabitants.

Israel is not just "not always in the right" it is literally BUILT ON colonialism. Throughout it's entire existence it has ethnically cleansed more and more of Palestine, and annexed as much as it could. It has done that through the theft of natural resources, the destruction of homes, the denial of Palestinian sovereignty, the establishment of hundreds of thousands of illegal settlements, the application of brutal military law, and more. I'm not "bitching about the past" this is the way it STILL OPERATES. Note the fact that most of my original points are listed as occurring between 1967-present. This isn't just ancient history, it's the root of the problem.

Lastly, for the love of god don't act like this is about the hostages. Hamas has repeatedly made offers, and accepted third party offers, for a ceasefire in which they would return ALL of the hostages. Israel are the ones who want this war to continue. Besides that I don't see you even mentioning the thousands of Palestinian hostages that Israel is currently keeping, or the hundreds of thousands that it has taken in the past. Many of those people are children.

Don't lecture me about the history when you clearly haven't done any actual research. Read some actual sources and educate yourself on the region outside of the various Arab-Israeli wars. Start here, it's a section of the UN website which is entirely devoted to the Israel-Palestine situation. Don't take it as gospel, not everything there is true/given adequate context, but it's a good place to get a general knowledge of the history. Also read the various reports by Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch.

It's not bull-headed, and you're seriously gonna look me in the eye and tell me ANYONE calling them the "IOF" acknowledges this a war of self-defense? Please tell me you're not expecting me to be that stupid. XD they literally call this a fucking genocide. Even trying to call it a war makes them accuse you of cheering for the deaths of children. "IOF" is an attempt to imply they are the aggressor. Nothing more. Stop making excuses, and stop expecting me to be dumb enough to believe them.

Actually it IS a verified fact. They warn people often weeks in advance before attacking. They've even assisted in evacuations. This move has literally been criticized as a stupid move military-wise since INEVITABLY Hamas gets the warnings too. A very blatant thing done to try to avoid civilian casualties AT THEIR OWN HINDRANCE is not something that can be ignored or dismissed as "not enough." They are actively harming their goal of stopping Hamas so they can try to prevent civilian casualties.

"merits of the point being made." What someone agrees with changes the point being made. If I brought up the fact that Hamas uses suicide bombings and indoctrinates it's followers to be okay with sending their children to die in this way, but also expressed that I agreed with the idea of "resistance by any means is justified," my point would not then continue to be "Hamas uses Suicide Bombings and indoctrinates Palestinians to be okay with this, and this is wrong," it would be "Hamas uses suicide bombings and indoctrinates Palestinians to be okay with this. This is a necessary evil." The point changes depending on the values of the person stating the point.

Except Israel ISN'T an occupying force. They pulled out of Gaza 20 years ago. Having a "blockade" that didn't even block anything from entering Gaza by any substantial amount does not make them an occupying force. And refusing to hold Egypt responsible when your problem is the blockade THEY PARTICIPATED IN, makes it pretty clear your issue is not the fucking blockade, it's the only Jewish country in the world.

For those of you that think Israel "isn't committing genocide because if they wanted to do, they would have dropped a nuke already," shut the fuck up.

The Holocaust lasted for more than a decade (1933-1945), with the first concentration camp being erected on March 22, 1933 at Dachau.

The lack of nuclear explosions in Gaza is not evidence that there is not a genocide happening. There are many other variables that go into this determination.

Your ignorance on the suffering and murder of millions of Jews over the course of a decade can stay out of the discussion.

[mad-desperada]

I'm sorry, but calling themselves a "defense force" is like how America calling itself the "peacekeeper of the world" when both are just colonizers

Oh ho ho ho yes they fucking have, they aren't even targeting the schools with missiles, but rather storming them with landmines & then immediately detonating them.

Oh I'm sorry, how could I forget that simply criticizing the actions of a nation automatically makes you a tewwowist, so it's a-okay to bomb them 🙃

We never trusted police departments when the undergo internal investigation, are we really gonnaput our trust in governments when they do the same?

If anything that comes out of Judith Varnai Shorer's mouth really.

If that were the case then how do ethiopian jews exist? Or Indian Jews, or the Mizrahi jews, or the Sephardi Jews, and so on and so forth. White Jews do exist, fuck man, you can convert to Judaism. My guy it's no fucking secret how much Ashkenazic Jews are discriminatory towards other Jewish diaspora, ESPECIALLY ethiopian jews. Also, if Hamas truely was only targeting jews, then why do they never target Palestinian Jews? Oh but you know who does kill Palestinian Jews? The Israeli Occupational Force, just as they've mercilessly & indiscriminately killed Palestinian Arabs & Christians. It's always been about white supremacy just as it's always been about colonization & imperialism. Israel is an apartheid, America's puppet in order to conquer the Middle East. You think they're gonna stop at Palestine? Egypt's already next on the chopping block. Fuck it wouldn't even be the first time they've attacked Egypt either, they are an extension of America's evil. Full stop.

And for fucks sake

Never

And I repeat

NEVER

Insinuate Judaism & Zionism are one in the same thing. How fucking dare you. Zionism is a nationalist movement that has only existed for a little over a century. Hundreds of Thousands of Jewish people over the globe have been against the zionists movement since it's inception. Hasidic Jews especially are critical of Zionism, which of course the Israeli government is all to gleeful to commit police brutality against, can't let them break the illusion of judaism=zionism 🫠. I mean for fucks sake, Theodor Herzl, you know, the dude how invented zionism, didn't even practice Judaism, even Israeli ministers don't consider him a jew, the movement itself was founded by non-believers. And yet Zionists today still claim it's their "religious right" to colonize Palestine & relocate thousands upon thousands of Palestinians from their homes. The fact that you'd so quickly equate a religion that teaches peace and brotherly love to a nationalist colonialist movement that exercise it's might through wanton death and destruction, shows just how much you've lot the fucking plot, bud

Shame on you
