In the last weeks in Palestine

• They keep demolishing homes in Silwan, and families are having to choose between demolishing their homes themselves or pay a fine to the Israeli government.Children are sleeping in their cars as their homes are demolished against their will.
• Musa Hassouneh was shot and killed by a mob in Lydd. On the 13th, her father had to leave the city after the Israeli mayor threatened to kill him
• IOF demolished the village of Khirbet Humsa for the sixth time in less than an year, throwing their belongings, including food packages, 7 miles away
• The IOF also demolished another village in Humsa, the Jordan Valley.Here’s a video of a child asking where the army is coming from
• IOF pepper sprayed a one year old while confiscating a tractor in Um Al Jamal in the Jordan Valley. Here’s a video of the child receiving care after the attack
• Israel shut down the office of the Palestinian agricultural union in Ramallah
• Settlers from a nearby settlement raided and threw stones at homes in Huwara, in the West Bank. IOF provided cover for the settlers to walk back to their settlement. In a separate episode, they injured a child who was herding their cattle.
• IOF confiscated a health facility in Masafar Yatta, in the West Bank. Here’s a video of them brutalizing an elder protesting the confiscation
• Israel has demolished the home of a prisoner as punishment. On July 14, a group of Birzeit University students visited the family to show support and all 45 of them were arrested.The IOF had the audacity to tweet the youth they arrested were a part of a Hamas student cell in Ramallah
• Even though they announced they would retreat the colonizer settlement in Beita, the IOF is still building a military base and a religious school there. Palestinians have been resisting everyday for months and have been brutally repressed
• In June 9th, the IOF injured 411 people in Beita, including a child named Mohammad Hamayel who was shot with live bullets to his spleen and shrapnel to his waist.
• These kind of bullets with explosive shrapnel are prohibited under international law, but have been used consistently against Beita residents. On top of that, they’ve been making access of ambulances and other medical services difficult to residents.
• IOF shot a shepherd in Beita because he refused to follow orders. On another episode, 19 year old Hussam Asaira was killed trying to protect his village
• The IOF has been consistently brutalizing Palestinians in Jerusalem. Here’s a video of protesters being attacked in the Damascus Gate.
• IOF keeps brutalizing residents in Sheikh Jarrah. Here’s a video of an attack that ended up injuring Aref Hammad, an elder resident in risk of displacement
• Yesterday (July 18th) settlers and IOF soldiers raided Al Aqsa mosque. They beat women, attacked worshippers and shot live bullets inside the mosque to make way for Israeli Jewish visitors
• This thread talks about how settlers want to demolish Al Aqsa to build a biblical park, exactly like they’re doing with Silwan
• Here’s a video of the attacks and this thread shows videos of IOF brutalizing women, including attacking and stealing a woman’s prayer mat
• They bolted the doors to the mosque to stop Palestinians from praying.

Don’t look away from Palestine. Israel will keep on doing these crimes if they think they can get away with it. The best we can do is to clog zionist propaganda. Palestinians have been systemically silenced on social media and news outlets, and Muna El Kurd, one of the leaders of the Save Sheikh Jarrah movement, has already said that spreading the word is very important to fight zionism.

Be angry and amplify Palestinian voices. The above links go back to activist accounts, follow them and share their updates. Attend protests (here’s a constantly updating list of pro Palestine protests) and follow organizations to know when the next ones will be held. Some of them: USCPR,Palestinian Youth Movement,Within our Lifetime,Arab Resource and Organizing Center, and Mohammed El Kurd (he often posts calls for action from all over the world on his stories).

There is also a ResistBot petition (https://resist.bot/petitions/PIDTLG) to protest the use of US tax dollars to support Israel. Text “SIGN PIDTLG” to 50409 to text ResistBot.

(I’m not Palestinian, so if OP wants me to delete this, I will.)

Al-Aqsa won’t be stormed a second time

Al-Aqsa is a very sacred Mosque for muslims, located in Jerusalem.

Imagine having a group of extremists storm your place of worship on a holy day! And this happened before btw.

In the past months Aqsa Mosque had been stormed 2 times (link here) , stun grenades and rubber bullets were thrown, trapping people praying inside.

Reblog, share, retweet, spread the word so racisim and injustice like this can be prevented.

Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid (who is arguabley the most mainstream American celebrity who unapologetically calls out Israel’s crimes without a shred of bias) have been shadow-banned by Instagram from posting about the pogroms happening to Palestinian today.

It is important to note that Instagram did this before during last year pogrom too and in both cases they didn’t take responsibility for it.

[ID : 4 screenshots from @/bellahadid ‘s story on instagram :

Image 1 : Bella’s eye looking at the camera with the caption : My instagram has disabled me from posting on my story pretty much only when it is Palestine based I’m going to assume. When I post about Palestine I get immediately shadow banned and almost 1 million less of you see my stories and posts.

Image 2 : in the background is the video where israeli soldiers are violently pushing elderly Palestinians on the stairs, and in front is a search page that doesn’t seem to be loading, the caption reads : won’t let me repost… for 2 hours now

Image 3 : text description: wow two very important stories that i’ve been trying to repost from @/eye.on.palestine all day … that i wrote long messages with … are the only ones that are not uploading

Image 4 : a screenshot taken by Bella showing a black background of her story still trying to upload /EndID]

Remember to put a 1 star review for instagram on the App Store and on Google Play Store and also write them a bad review but without mentioning Palestine in any way because it will be censored there too.

This happened to me too. I had to use a screen-recording of those videos on my stories. It wouldn’t let me text people in DMs, let alone DM them videos from eye.of.palestine or gazanow. They’re trying to suppress us and our efforts to speak out, which means it is of utmost priority to do so. Make as much noise as you can. Speak out against the occupation’s violence. They have committed an act of war this year just like every year by storming the Aqsa and vandalizing it with their grenades, guns, the beatings they dealt out on people and the people they tried to kill. SPEAK UP!

IOF soldiers laying siege to the Aqsa by throwing grenades at the entrances and near it to prevent anyone from exiting before storming it. THIS IS AN ACT OF WAR.

PLEASE pay attention to what is happening at Al Aqsa today in Israel’s racist flag march.

Palestinians need your support today! Keep your eyes on Israel, make sure you’re watching their crimes.

Israeli settlers are entering the Old City in Jerusalem and marching on Al Aqsa mosque.

Occupation forces are forcing Palestinians to leave the area to protect the settlers. There are Palestinians in Al Aqsa mosque right now, and Israel is already trying to paint them as violent rioters and terrorists.

From Al-Jazeera:

Al Jazeera’s correspondent Najwan Simri said that Israeli forces have occupied the rooftop of the al-Qibli prayer hall in the compound on Sunday morning and besieged the worshippers inside it to enable the passage of settlers to go unhindered.

She added that the Israelis have prevented Palestinian journalists and photographers from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque and threatened them with arrest.

Israeli forces have fired rubber bullets at Palestinians protesters in the compound, in an effort to disperse them.

Some Jews entering the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound attempted to pray, incensing Palestinians.

Jewish worship is not permitted in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by Israeli law, and it is also forbidden by the Chief Rabbinate of Israel.

Ultra-nationalist Jews enter Al-Aqsa ahead of Israeli flag march

And I only expect things to get much more violent. Remember these far right Israelis are the very same who chanted “Death to Arabs” and called for a second Nakba. These are violent nationalists who want us dead.
