A chronicle of the crisis in Palestine.

You know what’s extra lame about that Tel Aviv Snapchat story? Palestinians aren’t allowed to have mobile data on their cell phones, because Israel restricts the broadcast wavelengths necessary for Palestinians to access the internet via mobile devices. The Palestinians who do have it, have it because they’re in an area where they have access to purchase an Israeli sim card. So even if there were a West Bank or Gaza snap story, the majority of Palestinians couldn’t show us what their country looks like.

Keep it going guys

There are riots in my village Beit Laqiya, Palestine. Baha Sameer Badr, 13 years old, was shot and killed by Israeli forces. He’s my family, my flesh and blood, and I’ve been a mess all day. Please keep my family and the people of Palestine in your thoughts.
