The media blackout on Palestine coinciding with new bomb types dropped in a ceasefire tells its own story.

Now they finally have a chance to continue.

If you can’t donate, don’t worry.

Just reblog it.

It costs nothing, but it might reach someone who can actually change everything.

The most obvious one is that israel is considered the "jewish state" and as such, the "land of israel" is for the "jewish people" meaning they own it and have unique rights to build and develop on it, whereas Palestinians are often refused to build. It's often viewed as an "invasion" for Palestinians with israeli citizenship to buy land and due to the Jewish National Fund and Israeli government, the "state land" is only "state land" for the jewish people, again, because of the jewish state. There are even jewish orgs that discourage "race mixing" between jews and non-jews that participate in preventing Palestinians from joining jewish towns.

Mayors, government officials, building owners, and land owners in general outwardly tell jews not to rent to Palestinian arabs, and there's no real government protection for Palestinians in this case. And this is an issue not just because it's fucking racist as hell, but because there have been no new Palestinian villages/towns since 1948 because of the government restrictions for Palestinians ability to claim land.

So for Palestinians, there isn't really another choice for them other than to "rent" from jews if they need a new house or something. Now of course, this doesn't meant they *dont* build — they do... But they run the risk of having their housing get demolished because they didn't get a permit.... that they wouldn't have gotten even if they applied for it.

Now you might say, "why don't Ayrabs given land to jews in Ayrab towns? check mate you camel jockey" its because if Palestinians give land to jews then Palestinians will almost certainly never have access to that land again and also it's the responsibility of the majority in this case to accommodate the minority.

There's a Palestinian org called Adalah that deals with civil rights issues in "israel" and the west bank, they have reports on this for decades. It wasn't a secret or anything, jewish communities around the world just do not care that much to make a big deal about it lol. Actually a lot of american jews specifically go to and enjoy israel because of how segregated it is.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Germany will not support sanctions against Israel, stressing that his country has a “special responsibility” toward Israel.

How you can tell Netanyahu is lying: his lips are moving. The used car salesman of genocide:

While the genocide in Gaza continues:

Project Esther is a political strategy developed by the U.S.-based Heritage Foundation that aims to dismantle the Palestine solidarity movement by reframing criticism of Israel as terrorism. The plan advocates for using legal action, government surveillance, and deportations against critics of Israel.

While it is frequently associated with Israel—as it was crafted by American pro-Zionist organizations with input from Israeli officials to shape its public image abroad—the project was fundamentally authored and pushed by American conservative and evangelical groups, rather than the Israeli government itself.

Key facets of the initiative include:

Conflation & Labeling: It brands progressive, anti-Zionist, and pro-Palestinian organizations as the “Hamas Support Network” (HSN), equating criticism of Israeli policies with antisemitism.

Policy & Lawfare: It outlines a strategy to strip universities of funding, fire sympathetic faculty, expel international student activists, and pursue legal investigations (including RICO charges) against activist groups. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Reception: The project has been highly controversial. Several mainstream Jewish organizations and free speech advocates have condemned it, warning that it weaponizes Jewish trauma for partisan purposes and tramples on democratic principles and free speech.

A separate Israeli government initiative, officially dubbed the Esther Project, is a distinct public relations campaign. The Foreign Ministry contracted content creators and social media influencers to promote pro-Israel narratives on digital platforms.

I got one of the Hasbara bots texting me lmao. Anyways, if it isn't obvious, don't respond to these texts. Friends for Peace is a fake organization. This is an Israeli propaganda campaign run by Trump's former campaign manager.

Liberty Leading the [Palestinian] People | Acrylic on Canvas | 2018 | By Huda Salha

An Israeli settler was killed with his own gun after he and a bunch of other inbred settlers went “hiking” (all fully armed, while the villagers are not allowed to have weapons) through a Palestinian village, started attacking villagers because “hiking” means “going on a pogrom with your inbred Jew friends and their inbred spawn” , and got domed when one of the villagers finally got tired of the abuse, took the settler’s gun, and shot him

Israeli media immediately framed it as a terrorist attack against poor unarmed Israeli hikers who dindunuffin, deployed the IDF, and started collectively punishing all the villages in the area, executing unarmed Palestinians, as well as destroying the home of the man who shot the settler

Netanyahu immediately took to Twitter to promise strong reprisals against anyone defending themselves from these rapist pig Israelis
