12-year-old Dunia lost her leg in an Israeli airstrike that killed her whole family.
We filmed this video with Dunia during the seven-day truce, and yesterday an Israeli tank-fired shell killed her while she was recovering in Naser Hospital in Khan Younis.

Gaza's archives are gone. These archives documented a history deeply rooted long before immigrants from Eastern Europe arrived in our country.
The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

Bombing libraries and cultural sites is deliberate and tactical. It’s an attempt to erase history and identity. It’s ethnic cleansing in its clearest form.
Gaza’s main public library has been destroyed. lithub.com/gazas-main-public…

Three Palestinian college students were shot in Vermont, while wearing Keffiyehs.
Let’s tell the world what Keffiyehs are all about.

19 fiction books by Palestinian authors: novels, short stories, and folktales.
1. My First and Only Love (2021) by Shahar Khalifeh. Nidal, an elderly exile, recounts the story when the 1948 Nakba scattered her family; a story of love and resistance from the eyes of a young girl.
ALT Cover for My First and Only Love by Sahar Khalifeh. It is turquoise and depicts two Palestinian women in traditional dresses and headdresses picking olives.

“I told my mother that if I lived, I would never, ever be quiet and I would become a peacemaker,” says 87-year old Holocaust survivor Marione Ingram, who has been protesting outside the White House calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. “I have kept that promise.”

Historical Fic #mswl: an unseen avenue into a popular historical moment (a job, a place, a person we haven't seen before giving new insight into a time we're maybe familiar with). Dual timeline, mystery/Gothic-leaning, female-driven all delicious bonuses

I love how #SheHulk as a character has always trolled people even before the term was created. She did the same thing this past episode knowing that folks wanted Daredevil but threw a random wedding episode called “Just Jen” LOL. And like moths to the flame those fans fell for it

Convalescing sailors, including amputees, having a kickabout at Brooksby Hall, Leicestershire in 1916. Some of the casualties would have been from the Battle of Jutland. There’s some skills on show to be fair - one of them nearly wipes out the matron as well.
