"The #protesters carried a banner that said “It is right to rebel, #Hillel go to hell,” with an inverted red triangle on it, which has come to signify support for #Hamas on social media because the terror group uses the symbol in videos of its attacks. The student demonstrators repeatedly formed inverted triangles with their hands, flashing the symbol at the counter-protesters. Another protester brandished a banner that had a #swastika inside a Star of David while shouting: “#Synagogue of Satan.”
The pro- #Palestinian, anti- #Israel demonstrators chanted “From #CUNY to #Gaza, globalize the #intifada,” and “Hillel, Hillel, what do you say? How many kids did you kill today?”

“Another protester wore a shirt bearing the image of Leila Khaled, a Palestinian terrorist who gained notoriety for hijacking airplanes in 1969 and 1970. Two protesters wore green headbands used by Hamas’s armed wing, and a leader of the group wore a headband used by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, another US-designated terror group.”
These people are totally unhinged. Yes, I’m criticizing how people protest if they’re doing it this way. Deal with it, Fediverse.
@TonyStark@dukepaaron Do any of these people look in the mirror before they go out? My parents would prefer that I didn't go to protests because they want me to be safe, but I know they wouldn't be ashamed of what I'm wearing or carrying if a photo of me gets published. (Isn't our interpretation of honoring thy mother, don't be a shanda?)
The the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.
The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.
Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.
On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”
With #Israel having destroyed the majority of schools and universities in the Strip, #Palestinian activists have assumed the responsibility of assembling children in displacement camps to ensure their education continues, despite the severe shortage of resources and safe spaces.
The Israeli military has lifted a ban on the sale of food to Gaza from Israel & the occupied #WestBank as its battlefield offensive chokes international aid, acc/to #Palestinian officials, businessmen (sic) & international aid workers.
from #NewYorkTimes [expires in 30 days] #NYU Nurse Is Fired After Calling the #Gaza War a ‘Genocide’ in Speech
NYU #LangoneHealth gave the nurse, #HesenJabr, an award for her work. She said hospital officials then fired her because she made pro- #Palestinian remarks in an acceptance speech.
"If the #Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each #Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."
The Palestinian speaker at the #UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among #Palestinians resulting from the Israeli #genocide in #Gaza.
"Do enough people yet notice how the pundits outraged over the fabricated story of 40 beheaded babies last October seem to have nothing to say about the horrifying reality of beheaded #Palestinian babies in #Rafah happening right now?"
