“Regardless of the narrative we come from, the people must come first” Amira Mohammed from Unapologetic: the third narrative on unapologetic Palestinian identity, the urgent need for a ceasefire deal and how when a child is killed or anducted in war, we all lose a child. 🧵

Since October 7th, Israel has instated a systemic policy of abusing and torturing thousands of Palestinians in its custody. >>

When you wear our kuffiyas, wave our flag and use our chants, you are representing Palestinians. You can take the kuffiye off, put the flag down and stop chanting whenever you want. We can’t step out of it. So carry our message gracefully with respect and clean of any hate. 🇵🇸❤️‍🩹

So much respect for Yonatan Zeigen carrying the legacy of his mother, Vivian silver. May the world learn from your compassion and grace. كل الاحترام

“Always reject bigotry even if it doesn’t affect you directly” yet In times where the world has lost its mind and moral ground, NEVER accept demonization of an entire people in the name of any cause. Eventually the tables will turn and you’ll be the victim of that same bigotry.

شبابنا ملاح ❤️‍🩹🍉

I love it when some quote Golda Meir explaining why we don’t have peace in a time when the Israeli government is where it is today. Let’s not go back in time and quote some of the ministers today… Do you think the current Israeli gov would even be found of a female PM today?

Look at the democratically elected governments throughout the years and how it led to this fanatic right wing gov. The decline in women Participation. Listen to Israeli media and its dehumanization of Arabs and Palestinians let alone settlement expansion and Gaza atrocities.

This isnt for the sake of pointing fingers. Palestinians have our fair share of f ups and responsibility. 🇮🇱 have been protesting for over a year now. More 🇵🇸 speaking up against Hamas. To only blame one side without change in character or accountability is part of the problem.

We have a long way to go…

I have no words. Every time I think the worst has passed, that the red line has been crossed human beings continue to prove they could always be even more merciless and sadistic than before. حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل ❤️‍🩹

Nothing, NOTHING in the world can justify the monstrous massacre of around 100 Palestinian civilians by an Israeli bombing of a school, of A SCHOOL!! Not fighting Hamas and not ensuring security! A CEASEFIRE & A DEAL are the only way to ensure ALL civilian safety. How is this

This massacre is being called “Dawn prayer/Fajer massacre”. Why? Because that’s when the Israeli army launched its missiles. Killing close to 100 Palestinians, who were seeking refuge at a school many of whom were praying fajer prayer. حسبي الله ونعم الوكيل ما احنا عارفين من

I love how *some* Jewish Israelis detach what’s happening in the West Bank from themselves. “Settlers do not represent Israelis” “Settler violence is unacceptable” My favorite - “it’s Lawlessness in the West Bank” Habbi it’s an illegal occupation that you are a part of

I’ve been back and forth to the West Bank for 2 weeks now standing with Palestinian families against settler land theft and I’ll tell you this; I’m meeting 3 types of Jewish Israelis; The illegal settlers, the soldiers protecting them and those who come with me using their

In an alternate universe, Hersh was never kidnapped. In another world, Oct. 7th was one of the most joyful days in his life, where he was with friends in nature and danced like there was no tomorrow. He rushed back home with the buzz still in his system telling his family all

We were told that chanting “From the river to the sea” was antisemitic and a chant for Geno$ide. Well, isn’t that the river and isn’t that the sea? All under, Israeli sovereignty..? It might not be a popular chant on the Israeli side but looks like it’s policy. Antisemitism

26 yo American peace activist was shot in the head and killed by the Israeli army in the village of Beita near Nablus in the Occupied Territories. The Army is known to respond with live ammunition to discourage the weekly peaceful marches. There is no way for Palestinians or

Just got violated at Ben Gerion airport for no reason other than being a Palestinian from Jerusalem. Questioning wasn’t enough, going through all my sh*t wasn’t enough, x raying me and literally seeing through my bones wasn’t enough. They had to strip my clothes off and use a

Being abroad while your friends, family and loved ones are back home, terrified for their lives, paralyzes you. Trying to hold “the others” hand while your hands are busy keeping your traumatized heart together, drives you to depression that puts your empathy on a short leash.
