My 12 year old sent me an email asking permission to spend a no school day at a friend’s house. I wish I could post the whole thing but I’ll just share the introductory paragraph.
The uncovered concrete swastika was built decades ago to serve as a foundation for a monument. City officials in Germany "say they want the swastika, which was buried 1.3 ft below the ground, gone as quickly as possible."
See how that works? You don't keep monuments to evil.
Muslim women who wear a face veil must legally remove it and ensure their face is completely visible for a driver’s license photo. Religious liberty ends where legitimate public safety and security begins.
I know how hard it is some days to sweep the clouds away and get to sunnier days.
Our friend Elmo is right: We have to be there for each other, offer our help to a neighbor in need, and above all else, ask for help when we need it.
Even though it's hard, you're never alone.
If Hamas surrenders and returns the hostages, the war is over. Gaza can begin to recover. No more innocents get killed.
Why aren't pro-Palestinian protesters demanding that?
I can’t reshare 99% of the videos and photos that cross my timeline. I can’t bear the responsibility of the trauma that might cause someone. But this is a clip you can watch. It will break your heart but these reunited children need us to see them.
Ibtihaj represented the United States of America at the Olympics and brought home a medal, elevating the status of the nation on a global stage. So please never tell me the problem is lack of assimilation or shared values. The problem is bigotry & hate.
I spoke to protest organisers earlier in the week, and they were confident today would be Britain’s largest protest since 2003.
Looks like they were right.
A Muslim man with a great big white beard gets mistaken for Father Christmas by a little boy. What does he do? He gives the boy a gift and continues visiting the family to leave a little gift as "Santa" for four years running.
Elon Musk on Friday declared that tweeting "decolonization" and "from the river to the sea" could result in suspension — the same day the White House condemned his endorsement of antisemitism

One of the most powerful photos I’ve seen out of Gaza. It’s an image that will - revealingly - infuriate so many supporters of this genocide who keep calling it a war.

#Gaza
, where only life befits it, where its people excel in resilience and persistence ‼️
"We don't believe a ceasefire is gonna benefit anybody but Hamas"
So 1.1 million children in Gaza are considered nobody.
and these guys want to play mediators?
One good way to answer the question “are we the baddies” is to check if you’re writing your victory taunt in the crayons of the children you killed and on the walls of the school they’ll never attend.

Earlier at midnight, occupation forces cowardly detained two children at the Tel Rumeida checkpoint in AlKhalil “Hebron”, near the Ibrahimi Mosque.
Read that again.
Her last line isn’t translated - she tells her cat, if we die, find strangers to eat, not us.
She must have seen it happen.
What am I supposed to do with this story. How am I supposed to just go on about my day now.
A Gazan child is begging her cat "if we die, please don't eat us. Hopefully you'll die with us... Please don't eat us".
There's been ample footage of cats & dogs feeding on decomposing bodies of Gazans slaughtered by Israel & left to rot in the open.
“I believe we’re going to take Mecca, Medina and Mount Sinai, and purify those places”
Israeli writer and politician Avi Lipkin said during a TV interview that he envisages Israel’s borders will extend “from Lebanon to Saudi Arabia” and “from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates”

My 10 yr old was hugging the cat, & whispering to him "I love you so much that you're the 2nd most loved thing in my life." Aww, I thought, she's still mama's little girl. Then she finished her whisper with "But spaghetti is my favorite thing."
“If we don’t give them food, they will leave.” Genocide is agnostic on the end goal. Destroying part of a national group to make them leave is genocide
Who exactly is being slaughtered right now? Who is losing their jobs? Who is being targeted by smear campaigns funded by governments? Who has been subject to western military slaughter for decades? This reads like it’s on a different planet where Muslims and Arabs don’t exist.
From Gaza now: Mosques are the only means of communication through speakers. 'We have no communication with the outside world. They are using their military might to harm us. We have no power but the power of God, no one but God. Please, pray for us.'
So the next time you try to sell the narrative of western values liberating oppressed Muslim women, you better be prepared to have the door shut in your face.
This one crisis, this one instance of unimaginable terror, would stop and mobilize an entire community where you live. In Gaza, where the U.S. and Israel have decided no humans exist, it’s a daily reality.
You have to give the Paletinians credit. I’m hard-pressed to think of a war in which the people who started it suddenly claimed to be the victims and got away with it. Then, after a cease-fire, they started the war again. And again claimed to be the victims.
My fifth grader just started talking about “my dark friend at school”, & I was so upset, sat her down and gently started explaining to her how bigotry manifests and she looked confused then said “mama I mean she’s like a goth.”
Two Columbia University students, both IOF soldiers, sprayed a chemical weapon on peaceful protesters. Skunk spray is used on Palestinians in the West Bank by the Israeli occupation. It is known to cause nausea, abdominal pain, and vomiting.
@Columbia
must take action.
In response to our findings, the UN told us it is already investigating 52 similar incidents in areas where the Israeli army told civilians it was safe to evacuate.
Why the actual hell is the president of the United States using the way I and millions of other Americans dress and the religious beliefs that We hold as a slur. This absolutely must be condemned by congressional lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
Americans are finally realizing why those anti-BDS laws and loyalty oaths are a major blow to their first amendment rights. I think many didn’t care about the issue because it wasn’t something they were interested in. Until now.
They already had incubators. They didn’t have electricity to run them. You know, because of the siege and collective punishment of all civilians that you green lit.
Israel claims not to target civilians while also simultaneously claiming its bombing campaigns are targeted.
As before and after images like this clearly demonstrate:
Israel lies.
Alert 🚨: The IDF is now admitting that at least 85% of the people they stripped, tortured and paraded around for the world to see were innocent civilians.
HOW IS A SERIAL BOMBING NOT TERRORISM NEVERMIND DON'T ANSWER THAT I KNOW THE ANSWER YOU DO TOO BUT THE LEAST THE VERY LEAST THING YOU CAN DO IS SEE THE MEANINGLESS OF THE TERM TERRORISM OR AT LEAST THE LOADED BIGOTRY AND RACISM OF WAIT AM I STILL WRITING HOW HAVEN'T I RUN OUT OF-
These photos of Muslim women in hijab trying on the Jewish kippah, and Jews and Muslims standing together in solidarity against religious discrimination, are a joy.
Because that’s ethnic cleaning. Why don’t you pack a suitcase and walk across a national border and live in a tent the rest of your life, you make it sound so easy.
Bookmark this, share this, keep it as a handy reference for the next time someone denies genocide, or claims the Israeli government isn’t trying to wipe Gaza off the map.
Compilation of genocidal statements from Israeli leaders & officials.
One day this will be evidence in a court of law. The genocidal intent is crystal clear.

Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour joined the encampment at Princeton University, where the traditional Palestinian dish "Maqlouba" was prepared in celebration the Palestinian culture.🥘🇵🇸
I dedicate Jonathan Glazer’s Oscar to the brave and brilliant men and women of the IDF and to the State of Israel. Don’t stop till the enemy is defeated.
If you were Gazan you would be murdered by Israel in Gaza. Tens of thousands of bodies are missing or piled into mass graves. Babies are in unrecognizable pieces amongst the rubble of former homes. Why is this genocide about you.
I'm a bisexual female atheist who advocates for liberalism and limited government
My rights would be protected in Israel
I would be murdered by terrorists in Gaza
