Seeing the reports yesterday about how as of November 27, while Israel had released 117 hostages as part of the agreement, it has taken 116 new captives from the West Bank should tell you a lot about Israel.
One reporter said something like “for every family celebrating the return of their child from Israeli captivity, another family is mourning due to the detention of their child by Israel”
Israel hates nothing more than to see Palestinians rejoice, this is why they banned celebrations and distributing sweets in the first place.
After getting over the initial shock and heartbreak of this tweet and this reply, it hit me that (and I don’t know if this is a cultural thing here in the middle east or an Islamic one)
A child has to be named even if they’re stillborn.
For a child to not be named, that means there’s no one left to name them. They were killed along with their entire family.
I hoped I was wrong, but I checked the list of victims of Israeli attacks and found this:
Israel has ended 47 Palestinian bloodlines over the course of this genocide (or perhaps more), so you might think that this little detail isn’t that important, but I don’t think we should get used to cruelty of this proportion, no matter how consistently Israel commits it.
i watched the whole first season of better call saul out of order because the piracy site had mislabeled all the episodes except the first and last and just thought “wow what an interesting way to do this, i wonder if the second season is nonlinear too”
I love how Western media spent days on end chasing its own tail when the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital got bombed (who could have done it!!!) by Israel but now they are deathly quiet as Israel attacks multiple hospitals at the same time in a single day.
Why are they so silent? Is it because they can no longer deflect Israel’s warcrimes?
