Possession (1981), dir. Andrzej Żuławski

happened few hours ago, the "aid ambush". people in northern Gaza who were outside waiting for aid trucks, were targeted by the Israeli army. 150 person killed immediately and around 1000 injured. check Anas Al-Sharif's page, the Al-Jazeera correspondent for more details.

people died hungry. their hunger was their vulnerability and they were attacked waiting for food. exactly how depraved that army is???

These are starved civilians who were waiting for flour at Al Rasheed Street, they have been starved to death, to sickness to desperation in front of our witnessing eyes. And Israeli snipers shot at starving civilians at our watch, please don't get used to these scenes, please be shocked and outraged and never normalize. Never.

"Absolutely no one comes to save us but us."

"When Rachel was 2 years old, armed men came to her village, which is 50km from Bunia, DRC. She, her sister, and her mother were attacked. Her mother was killed, and her sister had her arm cut off. Rachel now has a scar from the man who slashed her face with a machete. These pictures were taken when she was 5 and living in the Kigonze Refugee Camp in 2021. The article says she does her best not to cry when other children in the camp make fun of her scars. 💔"

"At the time of the article, UNICEF stated there were 3 MILLION children displaced across the DRC. They have no access to education and face an increased risk of rape and exploitation. They are also at risk of falling prey to drug use and being recruited into armed groups."

Horrific... absolutely horrific what keeps happening to these children -at TWO only two years old. Keep talking about Congo.

Part of the reason that Chess is so frequently played in Star Trek is because Leonard Nimoy is an avid chess enthusiast and asked the writers to work it into stories whenever possible.

[Video ID: The video shows two women singing on a boat, taking turns. The woman on the right is Sofia Adriana, she starts singing a traditional Spanish song often hummed while baking bread, called Panadera. Then the woman on the left , Palestinian Singer Terez Sliman, follows by singing the Palestinian song 'Ya Talleen Al Jabal'. Both women show harmony and synchronization in their singing, clapping their hands on the boat to create music.]

"Ya Tall’een Al Jabal " - "يا طالعين الجبل" , a song from the Palestinian heritage was sung by Palestinian women in coded language to their imprisoned husbands and relatives in British prisons during the 1936 revolution to tell them resistance fighters would soon free them, while disguising words with the letter "L.". While "Panadera" in the Spanish language means baker, it is a traditional Spanish song that women sang during the baking process. The movement of the hands in rhythm represents the baking process.

"يا طالعين الجبل" أغنية من التراث الفلسطيني كانت تغنيها النساء الفلسطينيات عند زيارة الأسرى في سجون الإحتلال. كانت النساء يضفن حرف اللام بين مقاطع الأغنية للتمويه لإيصال رسالة للأسرى أنه الليلة سيقوم الفدائييون بتحريرهم.

باناديرا في اللغة الإسبانية تعني الخبّاز، هي أغنية تقليدية اسبانية كانت النساء تغنيها أثناء عملية الخبز. حركة اليدين في الإيقاع هو عملية الخبز فعليًا.

Sung by: Terez Sliman (to the left) | Sofia Adriana Portugal (to the right)
