What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

    Sunday also saw Noor Abu Rasheed return home from Ramallah Hospital, her legs bandaged, to the dilapidated tent her family now shares next to their burned home. Two weeks after the attacks, she was with her family in the remains of their home as they cleared out the last of the blackened furniture. “My hope is to return to school and finish my exams,” Noor said, looking down at the place on her leg where she was shot. Then she looked up, and smiled. “If I stay alive,” she said.

    Fuck. I can’t even imagine. :(

      Yeah, I just finished reading and I don’t understand why the world is not acting. Why can Israel act with impunity. The Western nations have clearly shown that the rules are different for non-white people and that their lives are not as valuable. The hypocrisy is shameful. These are people with dreams and hopes just like us. The language used by the government, describing Palestinians as vermin and animals emboldens the settlers. There seem to be few repercussions for killing a Palestinian, if any. Israel keeps saying ups this was a mistake and ups we bulldozed entire villages and ups, a mass grave. They say they will investigate but when they do, they find no wrong doing or just a misdemeanour or an error. The whole situation is a clusterfuck, any other country would be sanctioned at the least, and ostracised. And why are the other Arab nations not helping Palestine more? I understand the situation is complicated, but there are many diplomatic measures to put pressure on Israel without getting involved in the fighting.

        This is exactly what pisses me off about all of this… it’s 2024, we see live footage on various platforms, and the “leaders” make eurovision-like decisions all over the past few months.

        It’s not 1945 where they used to make decisions based on hearsay, its 2024 ffs, with live footage.

        They spread fakenews about beheaded babies without any proof and justified the killings. But the footage that clearly shows acts of crime isn’t remotely considered to stop this cruelty.

        Arabs are in the pocket of the US, they would never sacrifice anything for this cause esp not US weapon supplies.

        US too will have to face consequences for Israel’s actions as we are the necessary condition for these war crimes.

          So trump can make it wayyyy better/s

          Third party hasn’t been remotely close to having a chance in recent history, so this shitty anti-thought is just handing the reins to trump, who will very obviously make it way worse. But then again that’s what you want, isn’t it linker?

            Votingn for either party is continuing this bullshit indefinitely.

            Not voting, is what they want you to do ifnyiuaint voting for their team

            Third party vote is a vote of no confidence for the current regime. Voting for either provides the regime with legitimacy.

                Only wrong if you are emotionally or otherwise invested in the two party system… Which has failed to provide any results for working people since at least 1970s.

                  No third party got enough votes to do anything but Fuck up one campaign or or another, at least for a few decades that’s been true. Exactly what good does that do? Absolutely no one will get “the message” from your 4% of the population (I’m being pretty generous there. Don’t get your hopes up) protest votes. All you can do is help trump by doing that

                  The protest vote has failed to achieve anything since the always. Is it possible you don’t know that? Or is the goal specifically to help trump?
