the trash room.

UNRWA, ANERA and WCK have all been forced to pause or halt their humanitarian operations in Gaza because Israel has deliberately targeted any means of lifesaving aid to a starved, maimed, and tortured population of over 2 million Palestinians, almost half of which are children.

Also it means basically anybody could claim an already existing country and say my ancestors were here 2000 years ago, god promised this to me and now im gonna kill every single one of you, colonize this land and make it MY home (a home i have never set foot in and im not originally from).

pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase stop

A rabbi isn’t a divinely-ordained speaker-for-God whose primary role is leading worship. Traditionally, rabbis are experts in Jewish law, practice, culture, history, etc.

A rabbi doesn’t have any sacred/spiritual/magical powers to bless things that any other Jew doesn’t have. (And that’s not how blessing things works in Judaism anyway. It’s an expression of gratitude, not a transmutation or instillation of magic divine power.)

The reason a rabbi is involved is to *make sure everything’s being done correctly.* Because they’re an *expert*.

The person behind the Martyrs of Gaza account account just posted that their daughter was martyred in November.

The text:

Noor, my daughter, was the only one who held my heart in this world. Her story was different from other girls.

Noor Al-Fara, 13 years old.

She had dreams for the future and was planning to achieve things beyond her age. She lived in her own world, with thoughts and interests that were unique. Whenever someone met her, whether a woman or a man, they would sit with her, chat, and say, "This girl is extraordinary. Mashallah, she seems like a university student, not a child who hasn't even turned 14." Indeed, when they said this, we realized that we are not just numbers. We have souls and bodies, and we have dreams that we want to fulfill in the future. It was as if she sensed that her time in this world was limited, but her dreams were grand, so she raced against time to achieve as much as she could.

As soon as she entered the house, she would start talking as if she had been away from me for a week. She would share many details about herself, her friends, teachers, and school news.

She was an icon at school; she felt like the center of attention among the students. She participated in all academic and non-academic activities, and she was a dynamo at home, on the street, and at school with her friends.
