#save silwan
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.)
demolishing peoples houses to make room for an amusement park is literally movie villain shit
I cannot believe the world is letting Israel get away with this garbage
This post is 2 weeks old and I just wanna say that this is still ongoing.
Palestinian families are quickly becoming homeless. Many are living on the streets or from their cars right now with what little belongings they were able to salvage from their houses as Israel continues to demolish Palestinian homes

Israa jaabis, a Palestinian prisoner was arrested by IOF after they left her burning in her car!
For 6 years she was prevented from medical help, she’s even prevented from taking analgesic drugs while she’s suffering from unbearable pain, she needs 8 surgeries.
Eight of her fingers were already amputated and her vital functions are declining.
In the scorching summers, her burn wounds develop irritations.
She needs cosmetic surgery and psychologic counseling for her trauma.
Her ears are in need to be separated from her head and her nose is totally blocked because of her burns, therefore she breathes from her mouth instead!
Israa was detained in 2015.
Today, Israa is still struggling to get essential medical treatment.
“You are in your car thinking what you will cook for lunch. Suddenly, shooting you and the car explodes. Your skin and bones burn. Also, they take you to prison without treatment and call you terrorist.”
Talk about Esraa and share her story.

Harbi Al-Rajhi, got shot at his back yesterday by zionist occupation forces while he was going to pray at the mosque, in Silwan.
Due to his injury, he underwent nephrectomy and partial splenectomy.
people of Silwan are subjected to all types of violence by IOF, as the occupation government intentionally ordering its forces to make people’s lives miserable and unbearable in Silwan, so people leave the town in favor of zionist settlers.

On this day in 2014, Mohammad Abu Khdair was kidnapped by Zionist Jews, beaten, forced to drink gasoline, and burned alive. He was only 16.

Satan: How do you justify the killing of the Palestinian civilians by fully-armed soldiers?
IOF: easy, we throw a knife near the body and we claim self defence.
Odeh family is a Palestinian family, living in Silwan and the IOF forced them to demolish their own house, otherwise they will get their house demolished for them and get fined with >20,000$
Odeh family and other families‘ houses are going to be demolished and left homeless, this is a part of a zionist plan to forcefully expel the Palestinians from Jerusalem to change it from an arab-majority city to a zionist majority city, this form of colonisation is called “Settler colonialism” where the indigenous people of the land are being forcefully replaced by the people of the occupier.
save Palestine
save silwan
