Edward Said, and the Palestine that was never an empty desert [from FB post by We Stand With Francesca Albanese] #EdwardSaid was born on November 1, 1935, in Jerusalem, Palestine. He dedicated his work to dismantling the false historiography used to justify the founding of the State of Israel. Before the first Aliyot, Jews made up barely 3% of the population. #Palestine was not an empty desert. It was a prosperous territory of the Ottoman Empire, with banks, industry, and agricultural exports that rivaled those of Italy. Its population grew endogenously precisely because it was a thriving place. Much of the population living today in #Gaza and the #WestBank descends from the families expelled from the lands that now make up #Israel. #FreePalestine #SanctionIsrael #AntiZionismIsNotAntisemitism #BDS #DivestFromIsrael #SolidarityWithPalestineIsNotAntisemitism #EqualRightsForAllFromTheRiverToTheSeaIsNotAntisemitic #JewHatredHurtsPalestine #news #politics @palestine

"كيف يمكن ألا يستطيع الإنسان أن يسير إلى ملكه الخاص؟ أن يزور قبر زوجته؟ أن يأكل ثمار أربعين جيلاً من كدح أسلافه من دون أن يعاقب بالموت رمياً بالرصاص؟ على نحو ما، لم يكن هذا السؤال الفجّ القاسي قد نفذ سابقاً إلي وعي اللاجئين الذين شوشتهم أبدية الانتظار، معلقين آمالهم على قرارات دولية نظرية" "How can a person not be able to walk to their own realm? To visit the spouse's grave? To eat the fruits of forty generations of the ancestors' toil without being punished by death by firing squad? In a way, this harsh, blunt question had not previously penetrated the consciousness of the refugees, who were bewildered by the eternity of waiting, pinning their hopes on hypothetical international decisions." ― Susan Abulhawa, in "Mornings in Jenin" (2006) poke @palestine@fedibird.com#exile #refugees #israelPalestine #PalestinianLivesMatter #OPT #WestBank #ethnicCleansing #RightToReturn #quotes #bookStodon #book

“The West wants Netanyahu gone - so Palestinians can be killed more quietly again” by Jonathan Cook on Substack @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai@palestine@lemmy.ml @iran@iraq@mastodon.social@palestinenews@gts.liberated.press “As Israel’s #Haaretz newspaper observed: ‘#Trump is well aware of the consistent, dizzying decline in support for Israel among Americans.’ Which is why he and other western politicians are desperate to reframe the conversation. Singling out #Netanyahu over Israeli atrocities in Gaza does not get them off the hook because they so obviously partnered with him every step of the way. Instead western leaders want to switch focus to the #WestBank, where their role is more easily obscured and Netahyahu’s law-breaking is unmistakable.” https://jonathancook.substack.com/p/the-west-wants-netanyahu-gone-so #Press #SocialMedia #Journalism #Gaza #PalestinianGenocide #Zionism #SettlerColonialism #Resistance #EradicateZionism #DecolonizePalestine #GlobaliseTheIntifada #Iran #War #Trump #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah

Der defacto Gouverneur der besetzten WestBank Smotrich verordnet nun mit Verweis auf die aktuellen Feiertage eine einwöchige vollständige militärische Abriegelung für die komplette WestBank. Gleichzeitig kündigt einen Krieg für die Westbank an - so will er nun dort genauso Verfahren wie in Gaza, die PA genauso zerstören wie die Hamas. »Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich calls for war in occupied West Bank« https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/27/israeli-minister-bezalel-smotrich-calls-for-war-in-occupied-west-bank #israel #Westbank #Genocide
