Friendly reminder that Israel plans on demolishing the historical city of Lifta to create new housing for settlers and a shopping district
The city of Lifta was abandoned when the Zionists forced its people to evacuate and its ruins serve as a reminder of the Nakba
And in Israels endless endeavor to pretend we never existed, they intend to tear it down and erase another reminder of their crimes and of Palestinian history and culture
The Co-Prime Minister of Israel is calling for US state governments to take legal action against an ice cream company, because it is owned by two Jewish men who oppose apartheid and are pulling their business out of occupied Palestine
Naftali Bennett wants you to know that Ben & Jerry’s are a bunch of meany heads!

“The Israeli authorities refuse to grant the necessary licenses to the Palestinian water authorities to operate freely in the areas classified as C and under complete Israeli security and administrative control, whether drilling additional wells or installing booster pumps.
Israel directly controls 85 percent of water resources in the West Bank and has a say in how the rest is distributed…”
It’s disheartening to see entire Palestinian cities and neighborhoods laid under siege while ex-IOF talk about how beautiful the sunset is in Gaza. Be angry, because Israel is absolutely counting on the international community to look away. Organize and attend protests, let your representatives know you want Palestine to be free.
Inform yourself but most importantly amplify Palestinian voices. Engagement in social medias (likes, retweets and using hashtags on Twitter, sharing on stories and saving on Instagram) are all ways you can manipulate the algorithm and make Silwan reach broader audiences.
Linking some threads you can share. Tag your representatives in them and ask for accountability:
Follow BDS, anywhere in the world. It is effective and you can see that in the fact Ben and Jerry hasn’t posted anything on their social media in over one month because all their comments were calling for them to get out of the settlements in Palestine
Forgive me if my understanding of linear time is flawed but did or did not the sacking of al-aqsa and the effort to purge Sheikh Jarrah take place before Hamas had fired a single rocket
It’s this neat rhetorical trick israel plays where they pretend like organizations such as Hamas are easily separable from the Palestinian people at large (but not enough so that killing civilians can’t be justified) so they can claim that attacks that clearly come as a response to their mistreatment of the Palestinians were “unprovoked” when in fact they are a blindingly obvious application of the principle of “an injury to one is an injury to all.”
This is a video of an Israeli filming one of the many hotel-like bomb shelters provided to them by the Israeli government that they can hide in anytime they want.
The 2 million Palestinians in Gaza who are getting bombed by Israel as I’m typing this (who also can’t leave Gaza due to Israel’s blockade) literally don’t have ONE single bomb shelter in the entire Gaza Strip, which is simultaneously considered by the UN to be both one of the most densely populated places and one of the most inhabitable places for humans in the world.
If any words like “both-sides,” or “conflict,” or “clashes” comes out of your mouth then fuck you.
