if you're tired or frustrated about your TL suddenly flooded with #SaveSilwan tweets, imagine how tired Palestinians in Jerusalem probably feel for trying to tell the world for months—no, YEARS—about the ethnic cleansing and blatant violation of international law in their city

All politics aside: imagine living in ur home for several years. an occupying power orders you to demolish ur own home or they demolish it for you and fine you Bc they’re tryna build a theme park. you refuse to do it & wake up to the sounds of bulldozers doing it. #SaveSilwan

Earlier today, Israeli forces arrived to the al-Bustan area of Silwan to demolish a butcher shop owned by Palestinian Harby Rajabi. This is part of Israel's plan to forcibly displace Palestinians from Silwan to build a religious theme park. #SaveSilwan x.com/LinahAlsaafin/…

Ethnic cleansing happening now in Silwan in Jerusalem. #SaveSilwan

Demolition has started in Silwan while the world is silent - Pics of Al-Abasi family house. #SaveSilwan

In complete defiance of international law & human rights, Israeli forces begin demolition of historic Palestinian property in occupied East Jerusalem for a biblical theme park. Shame on every American politician & faith leader who enables this. You are complicit. #SaveSilwan

At this very moment, Israeli forces are destroying Palestinian buildings in Silwan, a neighbourhood in illegally occupied East Jerusalem. The homes of 1,500+ Palestinians are to be demolished to make way for Israeli settlers. This is ethnic cleansing & a war crime. #SaveSilwan

Zionist Occupation Army is surrounding Silwan in Jerusalem in preparation for the #EthnicCleansing of the area. #SaveSilwan This is happening now!

if u live in the US best way to help is find local Palestinian orgs such as Palestinian Youth Movement join a protest OR message ur representative let them know u absolutely do not want ur taxes to support the demolition of native Palestinian homes + put pressure to do something #SaveSilwan

Land is life. Land is political. It’s not about property. It’s about being Palestinian and living on your indigenous land. It is seen as resistance to the Palestinian genocide. Our land and our homes will always be political as it represents who we are as Palestinians.

When we are advocating to #SaveSilwan, we are not just saying Palestinians deserve to live in their own homes. We are advocating for the right of Palestinians to exist on their land, for the Palestinian identity to remain tied to our land, and for our people to live and prosper.

If our video of an Israeli demolition is too "upsetting" for Instagram users, imagine how "upsetting" the reality is for Palestinians, whom Israelis are beating and arresting for resisting forced displacement? "Sensitive content" is censorship. Don't look away. #SaveSilwan
