Mona , the voice that forced us all to finally look at Palestine and Sheikh Jarrah, has just been arrested from her house in Sheikh Jarrah... for speaking

Israeli forces assaulted Palestinian civilians while they running a marathon to protest their forced displacement and ethnic cleansing in occupied Jerusalem by Israel.

At the same this was happening, Israeli settlers were still happily celebrating Pride march in occupied Jerusalem while being protected by those same Israeli officers.

What sane country in the world arrests a 10 year old ?! In front of his younger sister ? Who begs for his freedom?

No sane country, Only Israel

Here’s what I could understand:

The girl : we’re sorry, we’re not gonna do it again. I swear. Last time please. Please don’t take him

The police man: No, It’s over

The girl I think begs some more

The police man: No, goodbye

The girl: please, do you want our father ?

Surprised ? I am barely. Because Israel is known for arresting children. You can look it up.

Here’s an extensive report from RefWorld about the brutality children go through.

Here’s the UNICEF

Were they released? Of course not.

Since 2013 ,Asking for at least making the minimum age 16 and not to arrest them alone at night. Stating that no other country in the world puts children to military court.

Did that change? No. The age is still 12 . On paper. We know of children younger than that arrested, but released after a shorter time. Do you the insanity in these words ?

PLEASE do not stop talking about Palestine and spreading information, especially from Palestinians, whether it's here or on other social medias you use more often. Palestinians themselves have said over and over again that spreading this on social media helps, I've seen some people say that it feels different this time now that the world is starting to hear their voices. and please donate if you are able to

YOOOOOOO, they’re formalizing this?!?!

I used to do community service at a community breakfast, we’d go to the local Safeway and get all their stale bread, the local bakery for their stale baked goods and whatnot.

They throw away so much food it’s ridiculous, I’m glad someone finally created a program like this!

The American app isn’t available everywhere but if you’re broke in NY or Boston, check it out!

The US app logo currently looks like this and was last updated 3 weeks ago (as of January 25th 2020)

TooGoodToGo is available in many European countries, including the UK, much of Scandinavia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Italy and the Iberian peninsula. 

In Canada we have flash food, I dont know if it’s just confined to loblaw stores but you can get food that stores have to throw out for dirt cheap

I know I reblogged this once already but I’m back to say there’s an Australian version!

YWaste has been around since 2017 apparently, so they’re quite well established if you’re Australian and in need of options

I used to be broke and knowing about this app would have been extremely helpful. Hope it helps some of you folks out there ❤️

I use flashfood and it’s literally what enabled me to pay off my student debt and start saving

@ my USA people you don’t know how to protest or perhaps you don’t have the opportunity to be vocal about your opposition to apartheid and genocide? until may 25th, call your congressmen and your senators, email them, write to them relentlessly every day as much as possible to stop this arm sale. from what i’ve gathered from this article it may be nonbinding but this is a call from Lara @ gazangirl on instagram, an international lawyer who’s been trying day in and day out to mobilise people behind the palestinian cause and who’s been heavily and systematically censored by instagram. it’s an opportunity to do something useful and make your stance heard. encourage ppl around u to do the same and raise hell against the biden administration to let them know you won’t stand for your money being used to participate in the occupation and ethnic cleansing in occupied palestine, the open-air prison of gaza included. PLEASE.

the reason why you have until may 25th is because the congress was notified on MAY 5th of this weapons sale, effectively starting the 20-day period to object to it. time is of the essence.

Genuine question, though I don’t know if this is the right place to ask. How would I go about doing this? Do I call my representatives from both the Senate and House and say something like:

“Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [MY TOWN]. I’m calling because I oppose the Biden administration’s weapons sale to Israel. I urge [REPRESENTATIVE] to oppose the weapons sale to Israel. Congress must block this sale in order to meaningfully protect the lives of the population of Palestine.”

Does that work or would I have to be more specific?

Hi, here are some pointers to add to what you wrote:

1. Start by addressing the representative by name

2. Mention the crime of apartheid committed by Israel

3. Mention the attack on press freedom that occured when Israel levelled the building hosting the Associated Press and Al Jazeera as an attempt to censor fact-based reporting in Gaza

4. Mention that your tax-payer money is being used to massacre civilians with 200 civilians, including whole families

5. End with a call to action: “I urge you to make a stand against the sale of weapons to Israel and bring an end to the massacre of innocents, including women and children as young as one year old”

I’m not a pro but I’m sure there are a lot of examples online so don’t hesitate to look on google for some inspiration. And thank you for doing this!!

i don’t think enough Americans understand how literal it is when Palestinians describe what is happening to them. settler colonialism is not being used metaphorically. having their homes stolen is not just what it feels like it’s what it is.

[An old Palestinian couple in front of their stolen house now inhabited by jewish settlers from Brooklyn, NY, USA. Most of Palestine is stolen.]

Palestinians are literally kicked out of their homes and their homes are given to settlers. if you’re a jewish american you could do this tomorrow with the full backing of two settler colonial states, Israel and America.

the IDF act like personal security for settlers, and for the Palestinians they are the occupying army ordered to shoot to kill
