Please follow @ m7mdkurd on Twitter and on Instagram. A constant voice for Palestinians as he is also living there as well. He is a poet, and a person with hopes and dreams just like everyone else. There are constant updates through his social media, and I believe it is very important for people to actually see what’s going on through the lens of an actual Palestinian person.
AMIDST ISRAEL’S DEVASTATING ASSAULT ON GAZA, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan, and Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib are preparing to introduce a resolution that would block the United States’ planned $735 million sale of bombs to Israel, according to an early draft of the legislation obtained by Jewish Currents.
The resolution would halt the planned transfer of so-called JDAMs, or Joint Direct Attack Munitions, and of Small Diameter Bombs, both of which are bombs outfitted with special guidance systems to hit their intended targets. Both types of explosive are made by the Chicago-based weapons manufacturer Boeing. Israel has used JDAMs and Small Diameter Bombs in its current attack on Gaza, according to Al Jazeera Arabic.
“At a time when so many, including our President, support a ceasefire, we should not be sending ‘direct attack’ weaponry to Prime Minister Netanyahu to prolong this violence. It is long past time to end the US policy of unconditional military arms sales, particularly to governments that have violated human rights,” read an email from Ocasio-Cortez’s office obtained by Jewish Currents that called on her congressional colleagues to support her bill.
palestinians are saying that social media is indeed helping to spread awareness about the atrocities that are happening in their homeland so please never think that sharing posts on your accounts is useless!! it is working!! this is one of the rare cases where social media can actually be used as an active tool and it has never happened before regarding the palestinian cause so we must keep on doing this collectively
Al-Aqsa Mosque is on fire! The third most holiest site in Islam has been set on fire!
Israeli extremists celebrating while thousands of year old trees and Al-Aqsa mosque are on fire. At the same time 20 Palestinians have died in Gaza Strip!
stop calling what is happening between israel and palestine a “conflict.” a conflict infers both sides have an equal power. what is happening in palestine shows none of that. this isn’t a conflict, it’s ethnic cleansing, oppression, and apartheid.
