This is Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli. Today, he was shot and killed by an IDF sniper. HE WAS 12 YEARS OLD.

alongside my respect for the Palestinian American woman, this is one of the single most uncomfortable videos ive ever seen not only because of how immediately those white karens were like "no you cannot talk about your family dying here you have to leave this is not important right now so shut up and leave" but also the cultish chanting by all the white people in the room?!?!!!! im done. i hate this. i hate yall. im so done.

from Rosy Pirani, 19/Jan/2024:

Caption: I am so proud of this Palestinian-American woman for calling out governorabbott - I am a Texan and this man does not represent us.

Hey you know what sucks is predatory companies that make you enter your email address so that they can harass and advertise to you to access resources you might need to keep track of expenses after a disaster. So, uh, fuck them.

If you need to track the cost of things like hotel stays, pet kenneling, medical care, etc. after a disaster you can use this worksheet.

If you need to create an inventory of your home for an insurance claim (and if you'd like to do this to keep someplace safe before a disaster) you can use this worksheet (two pages, instructions on the first page, worksheet on the second).

And here's a FEMA document with numbers for disaster relief groups and a checklist of documents that you may need to have replaced as well as a description of what to do if you had cash in your home that was destroyed and can possibly be replaced.

Another baby was attacked by Israel. Torturing a baby? They're monsters, I hate all Israeli genocidaires and they supporters.

Zionism is a terrorism!

STOP zionism!

What's left of Gaza's historic market, once endowed with historic buildings and heritage sites, representing the origins of the city and the center of life in Gaza.

Nowhere in the world would this destruction be acceptable as a normal part of warfare. Russia bombed a Ukrainian grocery store (last October in Hroza), and the world was rightfully outraged. But in the case of Gaza, the world's governments choose to lend credibility to the aggressor's justifications every.single.time, parroting Israel's talking points that these locations are used by "militants" as a weapons' depot or military base or tunnel network, even if no evidence is ever provided to support that nonsense.

At least 11 children were killed as well as many others injured by an IOF drone attack on a PLAYGROUND. We need an end to the occupation and a ceasefire now.

Brief image description: a small Palestinian child is sleeping atop a hospital bed -where they have what appears to be a breathing tube up their nose -the long tube is connected to a machine that provides oxygen beside them. The caption in front of this image states: The Palestinian Prisoners' Club: "Israeli occupation forces has arrested a Palestinian girl from Gaza residing in the occupied West Bank for cancer treatment." [source: telegram-QudsNen]

A little girl undergoing CANCER treatment was arrested... no matter how many times I re-read this statement, it gets even more vile. This is beyond heinous.

"Shameful." from Rosy Pirani, 08/May/2024:

i can’t believe this is happening… i’ve been thinking of the al-shifa siege for the past five six days and it has literally made me sick. when will this end?
