Israeli army arrested Palestinian civilians from a school in Beit Lahia in the north of Gaza Strip, and forced them to take off their cloths and left them in the cold street before detaining them They were all civilians

The US is not, in fact, a signatory to the Genocide Conventions. In 1986, US ratified them, but with the ~reservation~ that the Conventions do not apply to the US. In effect, the US entitled itself as rightful to conduct, aid, and abet genocide to this very day. 2/9

Don’t ever ask me “do you have any family in Palestine”. That question is consciously meant to be sympathetic, but unconsciously, the asker is appraising how “close” to the horror a Palestinian is and how much sympathy/shock/care the Palestinian deserves.

@princess_antifa Evil genius how she pushed and prodded and gaslit and insulted and bullied that poor brother while he stayed gentle, until she finally got him angry enough for everyone to see, then bam, she activated the “soft, reasonable, civilized, innocent” posture. White supremacist theatre.

Palestinians are framed — by our oppressor and Western media — as inherently "dishonest", as "barbarians", and other ad hominem slander to discredit us, so that our grievances are not considered with the merit of truth if ever our grievances were to reach the world public. 3/7

New data shows that the death-toll in Gaza is far worse than what has been reported across all news outlets. As of now: 15,271 Palestinians killed in Gaza: - 6,403 children - 3,561 women Thousands more are still buried under rubble and are ~not~ included in this count.

This is why all Palestine data is authenticated and fact-checked by countless independent international bodies. Not even a shadow of that process is true about Israel. As such, Israel freely fabricates and exaggerates, because that's how power operates: might = right. 6/7

@clothedw_thesun It was gradual. At first when I’d mention Palestine, she’d get visibly tense and urgently try to change the subject. Fast forward, she straight up, said she “I’m not comfortable discussing Palestine”. Eventually she interrupted, “our therapist/patient relationship isn’t working”.

It terrifies Israel that the Palestinian struggle has made masses of ordinary people from the global public become self-educated on international law. The Palestinian struggle will free the whole world.

Israel will lose in Gaza exactly as the US lost in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia, because the colonizer will never have enough bullets and bombs to outlast the unkillable and immortal spirit of resistance among the Wretched of the Earth.

To every medical school and residency program on earth I say this: When you create a physician out of a Palestinian, you create a doctor who will actually die for their patients before ever giving up on them. That is how all of us are. Hippocratic oath till our last breath.

This man died for his patients. He took the job of caring for others seriously. He was willing to sacrifice his life to do his duty as a doctor. So what excuse do US doctors have for failing to speak out for a ceasefire? It's much less hard than putting your life on the line.

‼️400,000 Palestinians in Gaza are now in active starvation. Read that again. They are actively starving to death due to Israel-US-Egypt, and the entire remainder of Gaza’s 2.2 million are officially now under all-out famine. The deliberate deprivation of food as genocide.

Yes, Becky. You, a wealthy white US settler, who took propaganda tours in “Israel” — and spent your entire life in partying and consumerism — are more knowledgeable about Palestine than I, who has studied, worked, slept, and breathed this issue with scholarly rigor for 25 years.
