📰 #mustread #oped Monuments without a country: #indonesia ’s empty gesture to #palestine

#madrid played host this week to a strange piece of theater. Ministers gathered to talk about rebuilding Palestinian #culture — its #cinema, its archives, its museums — at a conference bearing the bloodless title “International Conference on the Reconstruction of Cultural Sector in Palestine” (..)

I sincerely ask everyone who reads this post not to scroll past in silence. 🙏
I am both a mother and a father to my children, doing everything I can to protect their future after we lost so much.
Right now, my greatest concern is covering my daughter's education expenses so her dreams don't disappear because of war and poverty.
If you can't donate, please consider sharing my post. It may reach someone who can help. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, truly makes a difference in our lives.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who stands with us and gives us hope. ❤️

Watch | A Palestinian child breaks down over the bodies of his father, mother, and three siblings after his family was wiped out in a deadly Israeli airstrike targeting a residential apartment in Gaza City’s Al-Nasr neighborhood earlier today.

💔 They say there is a ceasefire. They say the fighting has stopped.

For us, those words do not match reality. Perhaps some people choose to believe them to ease their conscience or to justify their silence. But here, death has never taken a break. Not during the day. Not at night. Not in the streets. Not inside tents. Not inside homes. Not even during funerals. Every day brings new massacres, new victims, and new grieving families. 🚨🥺

Tonight, I was on my way home from a private lesson. I was thinking about nothing more than getting back safely.

Then, in an instant, everything changed.

A deafening explosion shattered the night. The ground shook beneath my feet, and a nearby apartment disappeared into a massive cloud of dust and smoke. I froze. I couldn't move. My heart pounded so hard I thought it would burst. Then I started crying. 💔😭

There is no safe place.

Only fear.

Only the sound of people screaming.

Mothers calling for their children. Children crying in terror. Neighbors running toward the smoke, desperate to find someone they loved. The air itself felt heavy with panic. ❤️‍🩹

Minutes later, the ambulances arrived.

There was little left to save.

Six people had been killed.

Just minutes earlier, they had been sitting together around their dinner table, sharing an ordinary evening, never imagining it would be their last. Their home, the place where they should have been safest, became the place where their lives ended. 💔

This is what life in Gaza feels like.

You leave home without knowing whether you will return. You hear an explosion and wonder if the next name people cry out will be yours. Every ordinary moment can become your last.

Please don't let the words "ceasefire" make you believe our suffering has ended.

For us, the bombs are still falling. The fear is still alive. Families are still being torn apart.

And tonight, another dinner table became another scene of unimaginable loss. 😭💔🙏

Behold the ridiculous European clowns

The European Union on Friday renewed its call on "Israel" to refrain from expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank. In a statement, a spokesperson for the EU's European External Action Service (EEAS) said, "The EU reiterates its call on Israel to refrain from further settlement expansion, the legalization of outposts, land appropriation, demolitions, evictions and other unilateral measures that undermine the viability of the two-state solution." Earlier this week, the Israeli cabinet approved a budget of 1.3 billion shekels ($427.8 million) to establish 34 new settlements in the occupied West Bank.

🔔 Update 📢🕯️ Three Palestinians were killed, others wounded on Saturday morning when Israeli drones struck the Zeitoun neighborhood in #GazaCity

💔 The human mind can barely comprehend the horrors of killing, starvation, siege, and the destruction of homes, hospitals, and tents—stripping people of every sense of safety. 😔

But some scenes leave even words speechless. 🥀

A man seeking shelter in a fragile tent was killed when it was bombed. 💥⛺ His loved ones lifted his body onto their shoulders, carrying nothing but grief and prayers. 🤲😭 They only wanted to give him one final dignity that every human being deserves: a peaceful farewell and a proper burial. ⚰️🕊️

They were never given that chance.

Another missile struck his funeral. 💥💔

As if killing him once was not enough. As if death itself did not satisfy this cruelty. 😭 The mourners became victims too. Shrouds were torn apart, blood mixed with blood, and those who came to say goodbye were left needing someone to bury them instead. 🩸⚰️💔

The very bodies that had been carrying the martyr were thrown onto the streets, with no one left to carry them. 😭💔 Hearts that were beating only moments before fell silent. ❤️‍🩹 Mothers waiting to bury their sons lost even more of their loved ones. 😭 Children who believed their father's funeral would be their final goodbye watched it become another massacre. 🥺💔

What kind of cruelty hunts a human being even after death? 💔 What kind of brutality turns a funeral procession—where people carry nothing but a coffin, tears, and prayers—into a target? 😭🕊️

In Gaza, death is no longer the end of suffering. Even a final farewell is not spared. 💔❤️‍🩹

How can the world watch as people are denied even the basic human right to bury their loved ones in peace? 😭

What greater pain is there than for a person to be killed... and then for their farewell to be killed as well? 💔😭🕊️

What kind of sadism and brutality is this? 💔

Stop the genocide. ✋🩸
Save Gaza. 🇵🇸😭❤️‍🩹 https://www.journeyman.cc/layan/

"No, Israel does not have ‘a right to exist.’ Quite the contrary, actually..... my assertion is rooted in international law".

~Craig Mokhiber, fmr UN official

"Of course, given Israel’s propensity for violating such laws, it’s no surprise they’re still claiming a right that has no basis in reality."

"The statement that Israel “has a right to exist” has always been nonsense, unrooted as it is in either law or fact."
