Never forget the golden rule of this mailing list: run an event on ancient heritage in Palestine and you’ll be called a Nazi / terrorist for weeks. Invite an IOF member with a book called ‘why we should all be Zionists’ to talk to your ‘classical forum’ and not a peep. 🤷🏼♀️
I would be as annoyed as I am disgusted by the Liverpool Classicists List this morning if the Zionist event in question wasn’t so obviously going to be two zionists in a (virtual) room being like “don’t you just love the apartheid state?” “Yes and oooh aren’t we classical…” 😂

This is actual footage of Westerners trying to liberate Muslim women.
German police push a Muslim woman, grab after she calls him an “arsehole” and kick her.

His son Ibrahim, was only 8 years old. Israeli occupation forces executed an 8 year old to punish his father Dr Hossam Abu Safia for refusing to abandon his patients in Kamal Adwan Hospital.
After the Israeli military withdrew from Kemal Adwan Hospital, the hospital director, Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, was released and returned to the hospital. However, upon his arrival, he was met with the lifeless body of his son, executed by Israeli soldiers.

My God. It’s just war crime after war crime. There is no law of war left for them to break.

I don't know how we are supposed to recover as humans from this. I'm still stuck hearing Hind's voice, half a little girl on a wall, babies decaying in incubators, children w/ half their heads missing. How do we as humans recover from this shame of letting this happen?

his co-driver talks about crushing people so badly their bodies explode and how he’s so disturbed by this that he can no longer eat meat, but in the next breath says there’s “no such thing as citizens” in Gaza
CNN tried to do a sympathy piece on IDF soldiers and then like halfway through the article you find out this guy was a D9 bulldozer driver who regularly drove over people while they were alive.

He didn’t stutter, he didn’t correct himself - he didn’t hear what he said because it’s what is in his head. This is exactly what they believe - how do we know? That’s been their policy for over a year now. The U.S. government, led by the Biden-Harris administration, wants total

My mother was shot in the street by a sniper & whilst she survived she was disabled & it has haunted my family since, 4 women & a child were killed that day. Anyone that ran out to help my mother was shot. They are doing it AGAIN. And again and again and again.
In the incredible footage, a Palestinian civilian is shot by an Israeli sniper. The wounded person cries out for help, and nearby people, including children, rush toward him. Once enough people have gathered, an Israeli drone bombs them. The attack takes place in an open area,

A child mowed down by an Israeli snipper, then passers by who tried to help bombed. That's what a war crime looks like. No one can now claim they did not know when the reckoning comes. No one!
Extremely difficult scenes: An Israeli drone targeted a child with live ammunition in one of the streets of northern Gaza. When citizens gathered to rescue and assist him, they were hit by a direct strike, turning them into scattered remains.

This photo has haunted me since I first saw it as a kid. The man is Nsala—he missed the Belgian authorities’ daily rubber quota. His 5yo daughter was cannibalized as punishment. The almost tranquil image, full of suffocating horror, was one of my earliest glimpses of colonialism.
We did have footage. But whether it was a photo of a Congolese man staring at the severed foot & hand of his 5 y/o daughter or Dr.s sharing CT scans of bullets in the heads of Palestinian kids, neither awareness nor compassion nor reason has ever halted the colonizer’s violence.

Yesterday, israel obliterated the entire village of Mhaibib, including the 2,100-year-old Shrine of Benjamin, Son of Prophet Jacob. In 1948, the shrine was looted by israelis who stole an ancient stone inscribed in Hebrew. They have been destroying religious sites for decades.

if someone in the middle of the holocaust was saying that the problem wasn't nazism itself but hitler, and that the solution was to 'hold hitler accountable' while maintaining the third reich, you would have very little trouble recognizing that person was still just a nazi.
