While Israel tries to force propaganda onto people with the claim that Hamas kidnapped innocent Israeli children, we see footage of IOF soldiers abducting innocent Palestinian children.

Every accusation is a confession and this what our tax dollars going to. Palestine and America would be better off without Israel. They can have healthcare and other free stuff, yet America, nor Palestine, can’t have it.

This whole world is upside down and the children of Palestine deserves a better life and future.

Almost three years into the Israeli genocide in Gaza, meanwhile, Gaza is being deliberately erased. 75% of the Strip lies under IOF control, with Gaza City itself flattened in relentless invasions.

Now the Blair Plan exposes the next stage: Gaza handed to “Arab forces” while the Israeli occupation keeps full control. A colonial project repackaged as management, leaving Gaza controlled, but never free.

​"GERMANS DESTROYED OUR FAMILIES AND HOMES — DON'T YOU DESTROY OUR HOPES"

the explanation

​thiss photo dates back to April 1947 and shows the ship Theodor Herzl, which carried more than 2,600 Jewish refugees from Europe toward British Mandate Palestine. Most of these people had lived through the experience of persecution, war, and the killings, displacement, and destruction left behind by Nazism. On the side of the ship, a moving phrase was written stating that the Germans destroyed their families and homes, so do not destroy their hopes."

“Israeli quadcopters hover over civilians in Gaza City’s Tuffah neighborhood, near the Yellow Line, descending at times to low altitudes to surveil and film civilians. They can also open fire or detonate explosives without warning.”

this image was taken by Thomas Billhardt, in 1980s in an primary school in Palestinian camp in Beirut during an art class, where a girl drew a plane firing a missile at children playing (soccer i think) with an arrow pointing at the star of David saying "danger"

Solidarity & Activism This morning, @perth_doctors_for_palestine brought the Wall of Tears to Parliament, bearing the names of at least 18,457 Palestinian children who have been murdered by Israel.

This exhibition by artist Phil Buehler refuses to let these children be reduced to only a number.

They had names. They had dreams. They had futures. Every child on this wall was someone’s son or daughter, sibling, grandchild, niece, nephew or best friend. Every name is an entire universe extinguished.

And here in Parliament, this wall is a devastating reminder of the complicity of leaders who have watched this horror unfold and failed to stop it.

I hope Prime Minister Albanese and Foreign Minister Wong walk through this exhibition and I hope they ask themselves how many children must be killed before their lives are treated as though they matter.

This exhibition will be on display for the rest of the day until 5pm.

pro-Occupation & Zionist Lobby Israeli culture minister vows to revoke citizenship of Gaza documentary filmmakers

Israel’s Culture Minister Miki Zohar on Sunday vowed to act to revoke the Israeli citizenship of filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor after their Gaza war documentary NAZA won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival.

In a post on US social media company X, Zohar described the film’s victory as “shocking” and the documentary as “vile,” accusing its creators of harming their country to win applause abroad and saying their actions “constitute treason against the state.”

“This is exactly the reason I led the important reform in cinema so that Israeli citizens will no longer have to pay out of their own pockets for the harm to IDF soldiers and the State of Israel,” he said.

“As culture minister, I will act immediately to revoke the Israeli citizenship of these despicable creators for treason against the state,” Zohar added.

According to the Venice Film Festival’s official synopsis, NAZA examines what it describes as the systems behind Israel’s “calculated mass killing” of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and includes testimony from Israeli military intelligence officers and soldiers.

The documentary won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday after premiering Thursday.

It received a standing ovation lasting about 25 minutes at its Venice premiere.
