Watch this short report to get a glimpse of what Israel has been subjecting Palestinians it has taken captive since October 7, whose numbers have now surpassed 8,400 from the West Bank alone.

The conditions in Israeli prisons have intensified and men, women, children and elderly people are subjected to starvation and torture. 14 Palestinian captives have in fact died in Israeli prisons since October 7, which is an alarming and unprecedented escalation to the already dire humanitarian crisis taking place in Israeli torture chambers.

The family of the 74 year old man in the video, Omar Assaf, did not even recognise him. He describes the past 6 months feeling as though they were 6 years.

تود وأنت تمشي في شوارع هذه المدينة، لو يتسع حضنك لكل حجرٍ وشارع وعتبة بيت تشتاق سكانها ومأذنة وشجرة زيتون، لو تربت على كل كتف، لو تتخفف من عبء الحياة وتجلس متأملاً في ضحكة طفل، لا شيء يتغير هنا، الموت بكل أشكاله أضحى روتيناً يومياً، خرج الناس من الجوع، فرحب بهم العطش كالحاً، على أن كل ما تصادفه يحاول التمرد، تهدر طائرة حربية فوق الرؤوس بينما يلاحق الصبية كرتهم الطائرة، تشق أوراق شجرة نالت القذائف من جذعها طريقاً جديداً إلى الوجود، يهديك أطفال ابتسامة خجولة: "صور يا عم"، تعترض طريقك بناية يتجاوز عمرها الـ 700 عاماً عضت القذائف أطرافها، وقد نمت الأعشاب البرية في شقوقها وتخبرك: لم تمت غزة مِن قبل، مات كل الغزاة الطارئين .. وبقيت"

قبل الحرب بأيام كنت على موعد مع سفر علاجي وقد صليت المغرب هنا حيث أتردد على هذا المكان وقت الضيق والحيرة . والتقطت صورة بقيت عالقة في ذاكرتي ٧ شهور رغم مسح المنطقة عن بكرة أبيها .. غزة وجع القلب ستبنى مجددا .. هذا وعد .. والألم لا أخفيه ولكن أزينه بالرضا ..

just another ten million dollar bump in the police budget, please one more funding increase so we can create a real life counter-strike map based on the over-policed majority black neighborhoods we do no-knock raids in every week, just one final municipal service defunding, we just need to shut down the libraries earlier and fire half of our public school teachers, please the police need one final additional million dollar cash injection and they'll finally stop racially profiling minorities, i swear, one final billion dollar statewide cut to infrastructure maintenance and the police will stop throwing flashbangs into the cribs of sleeping infants

"The point to be argued is not how to qualify the status of homosexuality across the broad historical and geographical, not to mention religious, regional, class, national, and political variances of the Middle East. We must consider instead how the production of homosexuality as taboo is situated within the history of encounters with the western gaze. While in Said’s Orientalism the illicit sex found in the Orient was sought out in order to liberate the Occident from its own performance of the repressive hypothesis, in the case of Abu Ghraib, conversely, it is the (perverse) repression of the Arab prisoners that is highlighted in order to efface the rampant hypersexual excesses of the U.S. prison guards. The Orient, once conceived in Foucault’s ars erotica and Said’s deconstructive work as the place of original release, unfettered sin, and acts with no attendant identities or consequences, now symbolizes the space of repression and perversion, and the site of freedom has been relocated to western identity. Given the unbridled homophobia (among other phobias) demonstrated by the U.S. guards, it is indeed ironic, yet predictable, that the United States nonetheless emerges as sexually exceptional: less homophobic and more tolerant of homosexuality (and less tainted by misogyny and fundamentalism) than the repressed, modest, nudity-shy Middle East."

My friend Mona has asked me to share her story with you all.

Here's the link to the evacuation gofundme. They're very close to their goal. They legitimately only have less than 10k USD left to go before all 9 of them can evacuate.

I will say it is hard to be nice to people here when so much of casual tumblr vernacular is just… inherently hostile. Some of you genuinely do not seem to understand that there are alternatives to flippantly insulting strangers.

Of the Americans who fought in Korea or Vietnam, none were "innocent" by virtue of having been drafted. The moral choice there was to either dodge the draft, defect to the other side, or frag the guy giving orders. Anyone who chose otherwise was a criminal and a murderer. And once the draft was over and the army became volunteer-only, all the excuses vanished. Yes, there are people who were in Iraq or Afghanistan or Syria who regretted it, but regretting your crime doesn't undo it. That's just the minimum requirement for being a decent human being in the aftermath.

To everyone who says "you leftists can't go around hating on the troops, don't you want them to join the revolution?" I say "why would they join us if they couldn't handle being told the truth about the genocidal terrorist organization they volunteered for?" If their reaction upon hearing people call the US military murderers and terrorists is to deny or equivocate or rationalize their participation, then they're not yet fit to be a revolutionary. If we're trying to dismantle the imperialist warmongering empire that continues to use its might and influence to murder millions around the world that is the United States, what good is a person who balks at the notion that the troops who volunteer to pledge their lives and their loyalty in service of this empire might be complicit in its crimes?

An American soldier or veteran who is not ready to admit they were wrong will not be any more ready to join us if we lie to them and say they made no mistake in joining the US military. We only weaken our own messaging and our own position if we refuse to condemn not just the US military as an organization but all those who continue to participate in and defend its actions. The troops are not innocent.

looking at posters and chants from the vietnam war protests calling for victory for the NLF and knowing they would be victorious literally just a few years later is actually making me super emotional
