Friends!
I'm so thrilled to share with you my very first and very personal piece about growing up Palestinian in the diaspora, "Meditations on Palestinian Exile and Return" for
@TheMarkazReview
.
A huge and special thanks to my girl
@warghetti
for bringing this to life.
A new essay by
@itsdananas
really gets to the core of what it means to be Palestinian today. Please share widely:

That little girl's raised arm tells a tale that a thousand headlines couldn't
📽️ Footage shows a Palestinian family - a mother and two daughters - in Jenin, occupied Palestine, being followed by an Israeli truck.
The family appears forced to keep their hands visible to avoid being shot.

"Aren't you afraid that something will happen to you as a journalist?"
"No, I'm not afraid."
A 9 year-old Palestinian girl has more guts and credibility than all the western journalists combined.

Nothing to see here just the king of colonialism sitting on a gilded chair with blood diamonds on his head pontificating about barbaric acts.
In his first King's speech to Parliament, King Charles has just condemned the "barbaric acts of terrorism against the people of Israel".
Thank you Your Majesty for your moral clarity and work of solidarity with Israel.

a Nakba survivor - along with three whole generations of my exiled family, sparked an immediate & powerful sense of identity and belonging. To this day it's the closest I ever physically got to the land, but it was the day that the land permanently stayed with me.

They're sniping babies.
A soulless creature looked into his scope, took note of the wind, the angle at which the father held the baby, and pulled the trigger.
That is the bare face of the zionist death machine and we will never stop chanting for its downfall.

"We are losing our minds"
Bisan's journey is a knife to the heart. Israel doesn't just want to extinguish life, it wants to decimate what's left for those who survive. To torture the minds of the living. How many ways can we define and redefine evil?

The hypocrisy is just fucking disgusting. I cannot believe I live in this world where to save my career I am meant to turn the other cheek to literal genocide. What utter madness and nonsense. What an unbelievably cruel world this is.

We ask Westerners how they'd feel if it was happening to them as if their own lives are more important. They aren't. But the people in charge don't see Palestinians as human. It's beyond racism and dehumanization, there aren't any words in any language left to describe this.
I don’t think people understand, if one bomb dropped in London, we would never move past it. The world would stop. A BOMB? what do you mean people getting blown into pieces on Oxford Street? This is what people are getting desensitised to. It DOESN’T make sense. It needs to STOP

When western media sees the broken and bleeding bodies of Palestinians, they are most certainly not seeing human beings. How else can they do their little hasbara dance—rewrite history, redefine words, move heaven & earth—to justify ethnic cleansing?

3/3 The onus is on Palestinians to prove that our lives are worth something, to make a case for our own humanity - showing busted and bleeding and dead bodies at the hands of Israel and begging people to acknowledge that this is suffering.

Telling Arab jokes to a white audience is a double-edged sword; if they laugh it feels like I've betrayed my people, if they don't I accuse them of being too sensitive.

2/3 And the dead & traumatized children? Surely no one can excuse hurting the most innocent. No one would deny that torturing children is bad. The answer seems obvious yet here we are 74 yrs later. For 74 yrs we’ve watched Palestinian lives come last to their oppressor’s “safety”

White phosphorus is a chemical that literally melts skin. Exposure to it means death or horrific disfigurement. It can't be used to "target the enemy", its indiscriminate use by lsraeI is for the sole purpose of inflicting maximum suffering. This is what genocide looks like

And it's not just at checkpoints. Just yesterday a friend was telling me about the time she crossed into the West Bank from Jordan & the Israeli soldier at the crossing was sexually assaulting every woman & girl on her way in. No one stopped him.
A vile entity from top to bottom.
As a Palestinian woman who spent enough time at checkpoints, what you are seeing here in this short clip is nothing compared to the sexual harassment I've seen many girls have experienced

There's something about zios' reactions to Oct 7th that's so performative and unsavory.
Just like that runway "fashion" shitshow they put on, the weird hostage gogo dance below really highlights their disconnect from reality.
Performing glamorously in a cage to demand the release of hostages when your own government is bombing the places they’re held and refusing to negotiate, without demanding an end to that siege, is only matched in its narcissism by its ignorance

This is a souvenir coin made by a Nazi who, after a trip to Palestine, championed Jewish immigration to Palestine to explicitly make Germany "free of Jews". This coin literally commemorates that.

What a goddamn tragic world we live in that foreign colonial powers like the UK and the US get to decide not just whether or not Palestinians deserve death, but how much of it lsraeI gets to inflict.
