Al Jazeera English has a whole series of documentaries available for free on Youtube about Palestine and Al-Nakba ("The Catastrophe") which helps contextualising what is happening right now in Gaza and all Israeli-occupied Palestine.

Palestine is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis while the United States and other European Prime Ministers express their solidarity with Israel. It's crucial that you educate yourself and know the horror of this senseless bloodshed. It's crucial you support Palestine and Palestinian's struggles for justice and the end of this illegal occupation.

It's important to remember that all of Israel was built on occupied land. Israel is an apartheid state and a settler colony. The Israeli state has no right to exist. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and boycott Israel!

Hıdırlık Tower

Antalya, Turkey

2nd century CE

It is believed that the ruling Roman Empire built it in the second century CE on a square plan. In the same century, it was turned into circular tower. It has since been used as a fortification or a lighthouse.

The tower is situated at the southern side of the place, where the land walls of the city join the sea walls. The 14-metre-high (46 ft) structure consists of a circular tower rising on a quadratic pedestal. The tower’s gate at the eastern side leads to a small room, from where a narrow staircase goes up. There are signs of restoration work on the upper part done in the Seljuk and Ottoman eras.
