“It was the worst aggression I’ve been subjected to during my work as a journalist,” Nir Hassoun, Haaretz’s reporter, said after he was beaten harshly by settlers during their annual provocative march in #Jerusalem.
#Jerusalem Fascist Flag Day crowds yell Death to the Arabs today & invaded Al Aqsa
Mairav Zonszein: Israeli Haaretz journalist @nirhasson protects a Palestinian journalist from a right wing mob at Jerusalem flag day parade through Old City.
So, in theory, I'll be able to come back to Jerusalem (from Armenia I was forced to go in March) around 15 of June. But when this week, when the conclusion of my aliyah after 1,5 years of burocracy hell is almost palpable, I became too unstable to perform the last bits needed.
Some kind of moral support will be very appreciated. Thank you.
Das UN-Palästinenserhilfswerk UNRWA schließt sein Büro in Ostjerusalem - zumindest vorerst. Das Leben der Mitarbeitenden vor Ort sei bei Fällen von Brandstiftung in ernster Gefahr gewesen.
Earlier today, Israeli settlers launched an attack on the #UNRWA headquarters in occupied #Jerusalem, setting fire to its surroundings. Israeli authorities have not intervened or made any arrests among the Israeli attackers.
Most years, amidst the horrors & disappointments of life, Christmas and Easter have provided comfort, hope and challenge: seasons to reflect and recommit, chances to once more receive divine gifts freely and dedicate myself to the good of my neighbours (near and far), to solidarity in suffering, struggle and in seeing those sometimes only momentary glimpses of how another world is possible.
But this Christmas, Christian communities across #Palestine cancelled Christmas celebrations. #Bethlehem was raided by the #IDF (while far worse atrocities were being inflicted on #Gaza just miles away). How then could we sing "O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie"?
And this Easter just passed, nearly all the Christian communities in the holy land, descendents of those who have lived & worshipped there for almost 2,000 years, were refused access to #Jerusalem, while the survivors from the tiny Christian communities in Gaza huddled together–hungry, wounded, scared, grieving–amongst the rubble of their lives and society.
The weapons killing them were supplied by wealthy western nations, whose Christian leaders remain largely silent.
The true reason why the #Anglican Church schism formed was the rejection of #Jerusalem as the center of the map via the prime meridian through first Greenwich.
Use of #GPS (operated by the US Space Force, clearly an invasion of Heaven), and all maps derived via WGS84 are unchristian #heresy.
We're all going to hell, but at least we can have Google Maps navigate us there I guess
"Daughter-in-law of hostage dragged by police outside Netanyahu's private home; police arrest five demonstrators during scattered marches throughout Jerusalem."
The song "Prayer of the Mothers", was born as a result of an alliance made between singer-songwriter Yael Deckelbaum, and a group of courageous women, leading the movement of “Women Wage Peace”.
The movement arose on summer 2014 during the escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians, and the military operation “Tzuk Eitan”.
#Israel / Tens of Thousands of Israeli Protesters Descend on Jerusalem as Netanyahu Warns of Early Election
The rally in #Jerusalem opens what its organizers call a "week of national protest", aimed at holding new elections as soon as possible. The unusual cooperation between protest organizations and some relatives of the captives comes after some of them lost hope in #Netanyahu and accuse him of deliberately sabotaging the deal negotiations.
"If the government remains politically stable, if the military continues its brilliant fight in Gaza and if U.S. opinion remains supportive, Jerusalem can flip Hamas’s machinations on its head."
#Israel / [Jewish] Educator Suspected of Inciting Israeli-Palestinian Worker to Carry Out Attacks
#Ynet is reporting that an Israeli educator, who’s Jewish, is under investigation on suspicion of attempting to persuade an Israeli-Palestinian employee at a school in #Jerusalem to carry out attacks against the State of Israel. The reporter is adding that the educator in question explained to the employee why it would be beneficial to carry out attacks, claiming that one could earn money and kill children before they become soldiers. The educator was released under restrictive conditions.
The occupation police prevent young men from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.
This is just an amazing image.
Young people (under 40) are not allowed into Palestinian AlAqsa mosque during Ramadan.
This is the compromise Netanyahu and IDF made with Ben-Gvir who wanted to block all Palestinians from entering the mosque during the month of Ramadan.
But, I'm sure no one cares. It's Israel who has the right to defend itself from young Palestinians praying in a mosque. It's their god given right guaranteed by billions of dollars from US and 1000s of tons of weapons from US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Denmark, Sweden and other lovely civilized western nations.
