The fact there are mass graves being discovered at Al Shifa hospital to this day is beyond comprehension.
As a quick reminder, Israel withdrew from Al Shifa hospital on April 1st, following a two-week siege.
The news report from today (April 15) literally showed a man who was executed and buried along with his hospital report that mentions he was a wounded patient at the hospital.
Israel is a whole other level of evil.
Zionists love to run around questioning the validity of the numbers Gaza's ministry of health is putting out but you really have to wonder why are they burying hundreds if not thousands of Palestinians in mass graves??
Occupation forces have released 150 kidnapped Palestinians from the Gaza Strip after they were subjected to several months of detention and torture
please make every effort to vote <3
Voter suppression is a real problem!! I know so many people in real life that are LGBTQ and or left leaning irl that seem to think theres no hope and dont bother to vote! Its insane!!
I’m begging of you even if you disagree with Israel (rightly so), do not fall into the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality. Do not forget the atrocities that the Islamic Republic has committed and is committing against its own people, including children. Do not forget Mahsa Amini and Nika Shahkarami and the millions killed by the Islamic Republic.
Sincerely, an Iranian.
From Adelaide: Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong's Office has been occupied by Pro-Palestinian protesters in support of A15. Protestors staged a die-in in Penny Wong's lobby. A protestor wearing a Penny mask poured blood over people in shrouds. Penny Wong has been complicit in the genocide occurring in Palestine through her refusal to cancel weapons contracts. The Australian government's refusal to suspend weapons contracts amounts to complicity and violates international law.

Free Palestine 🍉 And #StrikeForGaza today, April 15th!
This is Freddy Zebara, the owner of King of Falafel and Shawarma. He is Palestinian. As many of you know, Palestinians outside of Palestine are facing many challenges regarding discrimination and hate crimes.
We must be there for our Palestinian sisters and brothers no matter where they are.
If you live in New York, heck if you like to try good food, please support Freddy at his shop.
The location is 3015 Broadway, Astoria, NY 11106.
Fascism sells a synthetic nostalgia.
As good a time as any to remind folks of the 14 properties of "ur-fascism" (described by Umberto Eco, who grew up in Italy under Mussolini, in his 1995 essay Ur-Fascism). Not all need be present for single regime to be fascist, but a Venn diagram of all fascist regimes will cover them all.

[ID: Five tweets by Ghassan Abu Sitta. Read:
I will continue to tell the world about Anas my 13 year old patient who burnt to death, about Dareen the nine 9 old who's foot was amputated. I will tell the world how brilliant and dedicated Dr Ahmad Maqadmeh was and how he chose to stay at Shifa hospital with his patients.
I will not use the collusive humanitarian language "mourning thier deaths". Anas like 14,000 other children were killed by the Israeli army using weapons given to them for that sole purpose by the USA, Germany, UK, Norway, Holland. These weapons did not grow on trees.
These weapons, these instruments of death, are made by companies. These companies are owned by institutions and individuals who made money killing Anas. I cannot unsee what I saw, unhear the cries and the screems that I heard and unsmell the smell of festering wounds.
They have decided to come after me, the genocide enablers. But as the Palestinian poet Tawfiq Zayad said: "and my trgedy that I live, is my share of your many tragedies"
فمأساتي التي أحيا نصيبي من مآسيكم
I can't describe how ellated I felt and still feel when I received messages of support from my colleagues who remained in northern Gaza to be with their patients. Their opinions matter the most to me. They are my heroes and idols

Weird trend I've noticed:
When it comes to Disney-owned television shows, people seem much more willing to recognize that Disney just owns it, Disney didn't make it. The creators, writers, and actors are more likely to be credited and celebrated within fandom spaces, and even people who dislike it will acknowledge that it was made by the individual artists.
Disney movies, though? They don't seem to get that as often. The movies are much more likely to be treated as if the vague entity of "Disney" made it. Fans will say "Disney made a great movie," and critics will say that "Disney made a piece of crap." The directors and writers get mentioned much more rarely.
For example, people know that Dana Terrace created The Owl House and Alex Hirsch created Gravity Falls and Matt Braly created Amphibia, but far fewer people seem aware that Turning Red was directed and co-written by Domee Shi, Encanto was directed by Jarded Bush and Byron Howard, and Moana was Musker & Clements.
I'm sure a decent amount of that is due to the way Disney itself markets the films as part of their brand. Show title cards will list the title and the "created by" credit, but you never see that in film title cards (if the film even has a title card). The company wants you to look at the movies and only see the corporate branding. They want the movies to lead to new theme park attractions and merch deals, where they just don't put that level of marketing into their television productions nine times out of ten.
I do often think fandom spaces could be more diligent in learning the names of the artists behind the films, though. Disney didn't make them, the workers did, and it's the workers who get exploited in the process. At least give them the credit instead of the studio.
"The terrorist Israeli occupation, after half a year, is still insisting on entering Rafah, which is the last city that still contains most of the population of the Gaza Strip.
80% of the Gaza Strip is destroyed and suffers from continuous military invasions, the movement of the Israeli army, besieging hospitals, commit massacres, destroy and blow up residential neighborhoods. And besieging the population and starving them.
The terrorist occupation is committing these crimes in front of the world, and is trying to have more time to destroy the hopes of the displaced to return and kill them with hunger and disease, and make the world get used to what is happening in Gaza and reduce media coverage and solidarity with Palestine, in addition to causing more destruction and strengthening the presence of the Israeli terrorists in Gaza in preparation for stealing the land.
Be smarter than them, and do not leave us to be killed and forgotten. *April 15 is a day of global strike*.. No schools, no movement, no work, no electronic payment, no gas stations. Make more noise and disturb the peace of terrorist politicians in America and IsraHell.
In the picture, me after half a year of documenting the genocide and surviving it daily without being sure of surviving the next day, and I will not stop until this genocide ends and I sit in the middle of my city feeling safe while I help my people rebuild Gaza."
Here's what to do:
The global strike is tomorrow guys, just a reminder
All apartheid walls must fall.
Shockwave :]
