May the monsters who did this to them know not a moment of peace, may they suffer so badly and may not a grain of goodness come their way. Terrorists ruling this earth and we are here watching and clapping for them

The Little Book of Mindfulness, Dr. Patrizia Collard
Every time she filled a new page, she felt as if a vessel had been emptied, followed by a sense of safety, knowing that her memories were contained. Writing had the effect of a spell, taking her out of her usual dread.
Scrolling through her social media accounts, she saw now that she was two separate people. Online, she looked and sounded strong and self-assured, with a perfect family, a well-respected job, and a life that seemed bright and full. Looking at her, people would say she had done well for herself. But the other version of herself, the one she was tapping into now, couldn’t regulate her emotions and kept secrets even from herself. The falsity of it, and how easy it had been to pretend, made her nauseous.
she didn’t know if she wanted freedom as much as relief. To stop feeling entirely. Her body had carried her pain for so long that all she wanted now was to set it down. To stop feeling it in her bones.
Those summers, when we are in Palestine, that is when you come alive. Like a bright campfire in a darkened field. You have a ritual there, every morning: waking at dawn to the rooster crow and the call of the adhan from the nearby mosque. “To look at the sky,” you say. “Every day is a new painting.” Is this where my love of drawing began? Afterward you take long walks in the hakoora, a small field near the camp, returning home with a basket spilling with fruit. “To clear my mind,” you explain. “To help me feel connected.” “To what?” I ask. “The trees,” you say. “The land of my home.”
"Being Palestinian citizens, they weren’t allowed to come into the country through Tel Aviv, so they disembarked at Queen Alia International Airport and took a bus to the Allenby/King Hussein Border Crossing to enter the West Bank. If they’d tried the direct way, through Tel Aviv Airport, they wouldn’t be permitted into Israel and would have had to fly straight back to New York. “We’re the only people in the world who aren’t allowed to enter our own country,” Baba complained. At the border they waited in line for hours, going through one extensive check after another.
On that first trip, Yara heard a man near them in line tell the story of the time he had been strip-searched and made to wait naked in a cold room for six hours. She wondered if her family would be strip[1]searched, too. When she was older, she would learn that such extra questioning might have been because the man was traveling alone, or had an internet presence that suggested support of Palestine, or a passport with stamps from Muslim countries, or a name that sounded like it was of an Arab origin. Or it could have been merely because he looked like an Arab."
For anyone who says this started on October 7th, 2023, i am someone from south asia. From a place thats in the middle of nowhere. We have been seeing on the news, hearing on the news, the crimes committed against Palestine by israel even in early 2000s. The full history even i got to know recently.
“Hamas shouldn’t have attacked”
🙃
The Israeli genocide of Palestinians has been ongoing for 70 years.
No losing hope. Victory was promised and its near. & criminals like these, have they ever lasted forever? Watch them fall from inside.
i'm seeing people losing hope for palestine i'm begging you seriously please don't. the death toll is high but there are still people alive, there are still journalists risking everything to make sure the world sees what is happening. please continue protesting if you have the option to, keep demanding for a ceasefire and keep talking about palestinians both alive and dead. you have to keep going until the very end or else you really did fail them.
"The US State Department has approved the potential sale of tank cartridges and related equipment to Israel for an estimated $106.5 million, the Pentagon says."
Dear US citizens. If this doesnt make you angry, i dont know what will. Your money is spent by your government to fund an army that doesnt need anymore equipments for war (bc of how much your government already paid to this army). Your money that should be spent on the betterment of your people, for education, food, jobs, housing is being spent to kill children. To kill women and men, humans like you. Keep the skin color and religion aside. They are all human beings. If your government doesnt care about that part, what makes you think they care about anyone else?
