🎥 A look back at 365 days of genocide in Gaza | The Stream
Al Jazeera English | Oct 8, 2024
This month marks the first anniversary of Israel’s genocide in Gaza - a year of profound loss, displacement and suffering. Nearly 42,000 people have been killed and 1.5 million displaced, with many experts suggesting the actual figures could be much higher. In this series, we reflect on key moments of this year and explore the world’s response to the continuing brutality.
And even then..
petty lies..
hasbara, khara,

🎥 Israel's propaganda campaign: Disinformation used to justify war crimes
Al Jazeera English | Oct 7, 2024
For decades, Israeli leaders have used dehumanising language to describe Palestinians, to justify Israel's occupation. Since October 7th, words have become a weapon to legitimise the war on Gaza. But it's not only dehumanising language against the Palestinians that's been used. Propaganda and disinformation have also backed up the military offensive on the ground. Palestinians say it’s meant to provide justification for war crimes.

Groves of dates,
and olive trees,
where seedlings strive,
survive the night,
and so I write,
testify..
on their behalf,
until my turn,
to touch the sky,
same blue hues,
I cry up-to..


My heart is so heavy, Najwan. I don't know what else I can say.
Thank you. The film about the propaganda Israel uses was worth watching.

Shukran dear Najwan, amazing verse indeed. Through these words, you have successfully and beautifully managed to convey so many messages. I love it. Allah yebarek feekee.
