“Writing is a displacement, a displacement from the normal social contract. A displacement from the habitual, the pattern, and the ready form. The poet strives to escape from the dominant, used language, to a language that speaks itself for the first time." 🖤Mourid Barghouti🖤
At a later meeting, talking thru cigarette smoke in a noisy hotel bar, he knockd on the table between us:“This is poetry. Language is here –in the street, in the mud, in the shop, in the kitchen, in the mkt, the discussions, in everyday life. And you can make poetry out of this.”

*'Following the Palestinian announcement, yesterday marked the highest number of aid trucks entering Gaza, with Israel meeting the required daily quota FOR THE FIRST TIME:'* [my emphasis]
The ceasefire in #Gaza is set to resume after Israel allowed the entry of tents and caravans, part of the humanitarian protocol it had previously failed to comply with. This non-compliance had prompted Palestinian factions to threaten to halt the release of Israeli hostages on Saturday. Following the Palestinian announcement, yesterday marked the highest number of aid trucks entering Gaza, with Israel meeting the required daily quota for the first time: Total trucks entered: 801 Trucks to northern Gaza: 231 Via Beit Hanoun/Erez: 139 Via Zikim settlement: 92 Trucks to southern Gaza: 570 incluing 10 gas trucks and 29 fuel trucks

More news from Oct 6th... #SheikhBadr #NakbaDenial
The Israeli Knesset building was built in stolen Palestinian land. Here’s the story. In January 1948, the small Palestinian village of Sheikh Badr, perched on a hill west of Jerusalem, became one of the first villages to be ethically cleansed, Its people had lived there for generations, cultivating the land and maintaining a modest rural existence. On the night of January 14, 1948, Jewish terrorists, including the Haganah and Lehi, invaded Sheikh Badr with one objective—drive out its residents and ensure they never returned. The assault began with gunfire echoing through the stone alleyways, sending families into a panic. Many had already fled, fearing what had happened in other nearby villages. But those who remained would face a terrifying fate. The target of the attack was clear: the Mukhtar’s house. As the village leader, the Mukhtar was a figure of authority and stability. The attackers made an example of him. With explosives carefully placed against the stone walls of his home, they detonated the structure, reducing it to rubble. The blast sent shockwaves through the village.
