A year ago today, my mother Khalida Jarrar was kidnapped by Israel’s soldiers from our home in Ramallah. Mom, a feminist, human right defender and elected member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, continues to be detained without charge or trial.

My cousin, Kanaan, was kidnapped from his sleep by Israeli forces last night in Nablus. He wasn’t allowed to take a jacket or his medication. We still don’t know where he was taken.
Please sign and share this petition calling for Israel to release Palestinian leader and parliamentarian Khalida Jarrar. She must be free to bury and mourn her daughter, my sister Suha Jarrar.

BREAKING: Bolivia ends relations with Israel
Minister of the Presidency: "We are sending this official communication to the State of Israel, in which, as stated, we make known our decision as the Plurinational State of Bolivia to break diplomatic relations with Israel."
New letter from Khalida Jarrar:
“And to all of you, give Suha her flowers. Talk about her, her beautiful character, and plant an olive tree by her grave so that she can always be under its cool shade.”

My mom, Khalida Jarrar, was arrested from our house in Ramallah moments ago. Isreali occupation forces raided our home with over 70 soldiers and around 12 military vehicles. Mom and sister were asleep when they approached.

Israeli airstrikes have not stopped. Israel just hit a residential building in Deir al-Balah, southern Gaza Strip (the area that Israel ordered Palestinians to evacuate to ‘for their safety’). Five Palestinians already killed, all women and children. Several others injured.
Please help us honour Suha by creating a scholarship for Palestinians in her name. Any contributions or help promoting it would mean so much to my family. Thank you 🙏🏽

When Israel’s state police arrived on the scene they asked if Ayman was Arab or Jewish. When they heard the answer, they suspended the search. Note to self & all: don’t drown while being Palestinian.

Day 1 of Khalida Jarrar’s military “trial”. Israel presented evidence based on false confessions obtained under documented & animalistic torture. Sitting judge is same one who ignored evidence of torture. She walks proud & infallible in the face of a fascist state.

There is only one military occupation throwing stun grenades into crowds of Palestinian men, women, children, and the elderly who are gathered to break their fast. You can't "both sides" this.
Our official new report looks at the decades-long suffering of Palestinians under Israel’s rule. We've concluded that Israel’s treatment of Palestinians throughout Israel & the Occupied Palestinian Territories amounts to apartheid.

White Phosphorus is an internationally banned weapon as it’s used to make bombs more lethal. Air-dropping phosphorus over inhabited areas is prohibited, as it endangers civilians and can result in an indiscriminate attack due to the wide dispersion of the burning fragments.
A new video confirms the use of internationally banned white phosphorus bombs in the shelling of Gaza, this time in the Karama area north of Gaza City.

man, Eyad al-Halaq, in Jerusalem. Eyad lived with autism, different abilities, and was deaf. He was on his way to school. Israel later confirmed they “mistaken” his toy, for a weapon. They fired more than 10 bullets.
Today a young Palestinian was shot dead in Jerusalem by Israeli police. Eyad al-Halaq was 22, unarmed. He was autistic and worked at a school for special needs, close to where he was killed w/numerous bullets as he hid behind a dumpster, not understanding why he was being chased.

Ahmed was left to bleed for 1.5 hrs. Israel later blamed him 4 getting murdered saying he tried to ram his car into a soldier, which turened out to be a lie. Ahmed’s murder is the most recent example of deadly racism Palestinians face everyday. He deserved to live.

They left him to bleed out like this. For 1.5 hours. His name is Ahmed. He deserved to live. He deserved to dance tonight w his family to celebrate his sister. He deserved to dance at his wedding, to nurture family. To live. This is not a picture of Ahmed but of Israel’s ugliness

Staff didn’t brief you about the “2-state” solution being not an option viable for either party anymore? If you claim that Canada is a neutral, fair & just party, w/out paying attention to the parties you’re mediating?
As we call for renewed efforts toward a two-state solution, we’ll continue to advocate for humanitarian pauses, for humanitarian aid to be delivered, and for international law to be upheld. Canada is committed to the goal of just and lasting peace in the Middle East.
The price of justice cannot be the continued suffering of Palestinian civilians. When I sat down with Palestinian families today, they spoke about the loved ones they have lost in Gaza – and about the pain, anger, trauma, and grief they’re feeling.
Sham & Mahmoud recorded this video days before an Israeli airstrike to their house in Gaza killed them along with their mother. These are Aljazeera’s journalist, Wael Dahdouh’s kids & wife. He received the news about his family while reporting live on air

Still in great shock. An Israeli sniper assassinated Shireen Abu Akel, assassinated one of our brightest stars, someone whose grandness ostensibly should've protected her, yet it was precisely that which made her a target: to remind us with cruelty that no one is safe.

And to those “progressive” passing folks who are silent on Israel’s massacres against Palestinians right now, we see you. You will not be kindly remembered in history.
Just like South Africa's apartheid regime, Israel's will have supporters to the bitter end rambling about both sides and self defense. History will not remember them kindly when Palestine is free.
