I wrote this essay for @972mag about the bodily feeling of freedom of expression — what it meant to feel my identity celebrated abroad, two years into the genocide, after decades of repression and self-censorship.
For Palestinians in Israel, self-censorship has long been a survival mechanism, our silence the condition of our citizenship. But encountering solidarity abroad, I realized my body forgot what it feels like to speak freely.

🚨🚨 happening now: Israeli soldiers are surrounding a Palestinian family in Beit Furik, while an Israeli soldier threatens to open fire on them if they move as they harvest olives.

Israel’s election, despite party nuances, is largely a battle between different right-wing approaches for a state that has consolidated control between the river and the sea. That raises complex questions about what we can expect to change — and what will likely stay the same. 🧵

Israel has deliberately transformed the Palestinian olive harvest into a war zone, where occupation soldiers and settlers wage an organized campaign of terror against Palestinian farmers on their own land.
And the world continues to turn a blind eye.
The forced displacement of Palestinians, repackaged as voluntary migration, is being openly sold as an electoral promise in Israel.
Ben-Gvir points at airplanes and talks about putting Palestinians on board. “More and more,” he says,

Her name is Mariam Ghanem. She is two and a half years old.
At 4 a.m. today, she watched her mother being consumed by flames following an Israeli strike.
Mariam miraculously survived the strike. Her father was slaughtered by Israel just a few months ago.

The Israeli occupation army has uprooted hundreds of olive trees from farmland in the town of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, destroying farmers’ hard work and a vital source of their livelihood.
The “anti-Netanyahu” camp is campaigning against Netanyahu, who has a genocide under his name, by portraying him as too supportive of Palestinian statehood.
Palestinian self determination is a political liability in Israeli electoral politics.

A searing account in @972mag of torture of Palestinian children in Israeli custody.
“Children [in administrative detention] often don’t even know why they’re being held, and their parents don’t know either.”

What has 3 years of unprecedented global debate and international condemnation of Israel actually changed on the ground?
Israel continues to indulge in impunity.
Gaza: live broadcasted genocide continues.
Jerusalem: Ben-Gvir flaunts the demolition of Palestinian homes on X.

The chutzpah you find in Israel (enabled by decades of impunity): I searched for the Palestinian documentary NAZA and got “NAZA: The Real Story” instead.

Averbuch says they distributed their film as if it were a leaked version of @yuval_abraham & Rachel’s NAZA, so people searching for the original film would find theirs.
He calls the strategy “network warfare” and “offensive hasbara.” arielforisrael.com/post/naza…

Today Israeli terrorist settlers have set fire to hundreds of olive trees in Deir Sharaf, west of Nablus in the West Bank.
The Jewish Israeli settler Yosef Haim Ben-David, who kidnapped and burned alive my 16-year-old cousin Mohammad Abu Khdeir in 2014, died today in prison, where he was serving a life sentence for Mohammad’s murder.
Mohammad should be 28 years old today.

A grave attack on Palestinian cirizens' political representation.
Recall that the chairman of the Committee is Supreme Court Judge Solberg, who is a West Bank settler.
