Nicaragua has taken Germany to the ICJ for its complicity in Gaza's genocide

Israeli soldiers are conducting a series of invasive operations across the West Bank, abducting numerous Palestinians, killing and injuring civillians, and engaging in destructive raids on homes and Palestinian property.

This is what happened today (April 18) in the West Bank:

At dawn - Israeli soldiers launched a widespread operation in various parts of the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, damaging Palestinian properties, and detaining at least 26 Palestinians, including two young women.

At day - The aggression continued as soldiers proceeded to assault Adli Rayyes and his son, Hashem, resulting in various injuries to both of them. Palestinian medics had to transport them to Jericho governmental hospital for treatment.

Afternoon - The Israeli Occupation Forces moved to the central West Bank where they entered the town Deir Ballout (west of Salfit city). There, they confiscated a telecommunications car that was being used for repair and maintenance work.

Evening - Dozens of Israeli soldiers invaded the Ein Al-Sultan refugee camp (north of Jericho). They stormed and ransacked homes within the camp and abducted a young man named Nayef Abu Dahouk, taking him to an unknown destination. At the same time an Israeli military jeep rammed into a young Palestinian woman in Jenin (northern West Bank). She was taken to the Jenin governmental hospital, and is currently suffering from fractures and severe bruising.

The Palestinian Detainees Committee reports that over 40 Palestinians were abducted by Israeli soldiers TODAY alone, from various parts of the West Bank, with a concentration of these abductions occurring in Nablus, followed by operations in Ramallah, Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, and Jerusalem.

Two homes belonging to Mohammad and Ahmad Zeidat, who have been kidnapped since January, in the town Bani Naim (near Hebron) were also demolished.

Over 8,310 Palestinians have been abducted by the Israeli Occupation Forces since October 7, 2023.

Tananoya and Love Letters 💌

Part of the Tananoya Zine "Inevitable"

#reblargle #i want people to keep having their own ideas about what exactly is the context is here #so my original plan goes into tags now #i have this idea that tanaka is way more into the classical romantic stuff than noya is #noya is like... really just not into it? he doesn't mind but it's just not how he vibes #but he KNOWS ryu's into it so he will make the effort at times #my favourite get togeths for them are also like... casual? it just kinda happens. often without a big dramatic shoujo manga declarations #so the idea really was just noya indulging his boyf with surprise love letters. because they're buddies they're boyfriends

[main-bird]

tananoya inspired by this art that immediately got my brain thinking.

~

nishinoya stares at the letter he wrote. a letter he might give to tanaka. a letter that could change everything.

he's spent too much time on it. many discarded, crumpled up sheets of paper surround him. he taps his eraser against his desk.

nishinoya frowns.

this is so unlike him. he doesn't know how to deal with these nerves that eat at his chest. he doesn't understand how he can be so flustered when he flirts with girls any chance he gets.

so why does it feel so different with tanaka?

nishinoya folds up the letter and places it in an envelope before he can crunch it up and throw it away. it's his best one yet. clear and concise.

he's not good with words. at all. and tanaka is aware, even teases him about it. but nishinoya wants this to be good. he wants it to make sense, no hidden meanings. he wants to have tanaka read it and understand him.

he seals it and write tanaka's name on it. he slips it into his bag and throws himself into bed.

nishinoya's chest aches. he wants to rid himself of this ache. but he doesn't know if tanaka feels the same way.

~

tanaka laughs at a dumb joke nishinoya made as he opens his locker. nishinoya's heart flutters between the laugh and the sight of that letter he wrote. the one that confesses everything. the one that could ruin everything.

"oh. uh. I almost forgot. I was gonna meet up with suga before practice. I should head out," nishinoya says quickly. he takes a few steps back when tanaka gives him a questioning look.

"you're not failing again, are you? we really need our libero." tanaka's concern makes nishinoya's heart sink.

"nah. it'll be fine. I'll tell you more later." nishinoya turns and jogs away before tanaka can further question him.

his heart pounds in his chest as he walks to the gym, a few other teammates filing in. hinata and kageyama are already on the court, arguing with each other. nishinoya would laugh if it didn't feel like he needed open heart surgery.

asahi and sugawara sit next to each other in the corner of the gym. nishinoya rushes over to them and falls to his knees. "I need you to let me go home. tell daichi I don't feel good. whatever it takes. please, just let me have this mercy for once," nishinoya begs.

sugawara raises an eyebrow. "did you annoy kiyoko one too many times today? you deserve whatever comes from that."

but asahi has a knowing look in his eyes. nishinoya silently pleads to asahi, eyes wide and pout evident.

asahi sighs. "you have to face it, noya."

nishinoya groans and dramatically falls back.

"do I need to call the police?" sugawara asks.

asahi laughs. "no. noya just has a crush. not on kiyoko."

sugawara hums in understanding. nishinoya wants to crawl into a hole. all the way to the center of the earth.

nishinoya doesn't see tanaka walk in, the letter crushed in one hand and his cheeks stained bright red.

asahi glances behind nishinoya. "I guess you are going to face it."

nishinoya whips his head around so fast, it makes s joint in his neck pop. he and tanaka make eye contact.

nishinoya wants to run away. so far and so fast. maybe he'll change his name and move to a different country. he's heard that india isn't so bad. maybe he could go to korea.

"can we talk?" tanaka asks.

his heart pounds against his ribs as he nods.

here it comes, he thinks as he follows tanaka out of the gym. here's the end. the rejection, right? because nishinoya hadn't even bothered to ask if tanaka was into boys.

"I'm sorry," nishinoya blurts as soon as they step outside. "I'm sorry. we can just pretend this never happened, yeah?" he laughs nervously. "we can just rip that up. and we go back to how we used to be. normal noya and tanaka-"

"I don't want things to be how we used to be," tanaka says. nishinoya's heart sinks. "I want..." tanaka squeezes his eyes shut. "I like you, too!"

the world stops.

no really, it seems to freeze in time. nishinoya stops feeling the wind, stops hearing voices and animals and the sounds of cars. everything pauses as nishinoya stares at his best friend in disbelief.

"you do?"

tanaka swallows. "I do."

nishinoya can't stop the nervous laugh that bubbles out of his chest. "I wasn't expecting that."

luckily, tanaka laughs as well. "you were acting so weird all day, I thought you were gonna tell me you were moving or something. I'm just glad its this not something horrible."

nishinoya clenches his fists together before releasing them. "so what now?"

tanaka hesitates. "well, we date, right?"

nishinoya's face heats up. "y-yeah."

tanka nods. "yeah. right. uh. um, yeah."

they stare at each other.

"let's go to practice and then we can talk more," nishinoya suggests.

tanaka relaxes. "oh. yeah. that sounds perfect."

nishinoya and tanaka walk into the gym with smiles plastered to their faces.

daichi asks if there's a prank he has to be worried about.

#!!! #omg i did not expect to stumble over this bless so cute #tananoya #giggling and kicking my feet nothing better than other people getting inspired to create my silly ideas

Best Pali orgs to donate to at this time? Am thinking PCRF.

don't donate to orgs right now, donate to people. gazans need huge funds to evacuate to egypt, get treatment, buy food and other necessities. it is the most urgent and the best way your money can have the most impact.

here is fundsforgaza linktree full of verified gofundmes you can choose from

here is the operation olive branch spreadsheet full of gofundmes organized by different factors such as families, age, number of children, medical conditions as well as how close they are to meeting their goal etc

[...] During the early stages of the war, the army gave sweeping approval for officers to adopt Lavender’s kill lists, with no requirement to thoroughly check why the machine made those choices or to examine the raw intelligence data on which they were based. One source stated that human personnel often served only as a “rubber stamp” for the machine’s decisions, adding that, normally, they would personally devote only about “20 seconds” to each target before authorizing a bombing — just to make sure the Lavender-marked target is male. This was despite knowing that the system makes what are regarded as “errors” in approximately 10 percent of cases, and is known to occasionally mark individuals who have merely a loose connection to militant groups, or no connection at all. Moreover, the Israeli army systematically attacked the targeted individuals while they were in their homes — usually at night while their whole families were present — rather than during the course of military activity. According to the sources, this was because, from what they regarded as an intelligence standpoint, it was easier to locate the individuals in their private houses. Additional automated systems, including one called “Where’s Daddy?” also revealed here for the first time, were used specifically to track the targeted individuals and carry out bombings when they had entered their family’s residences.

In case you didn't catch that: the IOF made an automated system that intentionally marks entire families as targets for bombings, and then they called it "Where's Daddy."

Like what is there even to say anymore? It's so depraved you almost think you have to be misreading it...

“We were not interested in killing [Hamas] operatives only when they were in a military building or engaged in a military activity,” A., an intelligence officer, told +972 and Local Call. “On the contrary, the IDF bombed them in homes without hesitation, as a first option. It’s much easier to bomb a family’s home. The system is built to look for them in these situations.” The Lavender machine joins another AI system, “The Gospel,” about which information was revealed in a previous investigation by +972 and Local Call in November 2023, as well as in the Israeli military’s own publications. A fundamental difference between the two systems is in the definition of the target: whereas The Gospel marks buildings and structures that the army claims militants operate from, Lavender marks people — and puts them on a kill list.  In addition, according to the sources, when it came to targeting alleged junior militants marked by Lavender, the army preferred to only use unguided missiles, commonly known as “dumb” bombs (in contrast to “smart” precision bombs), which can destroy entire buildings on top of their occupants and cause significant casualties. “You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people — it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs],” said C., one of the intelligence officers. Another source said that they had personally authorized the bombing of “hundreds” of private homes of alleged junior operatives marked by Lavender, with many of these attacks killing civilians and entire families as “collateral damage.” In an unprecedented move, according to two of the sources, the army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants. The sources added that, in the event that the target was a senior Hamas official with the rank of battalion or brigade commander, the army on several occasions authorized the killing of more than 100 civilians in the assassination of a single commander.

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.

This has been broadcasted by Israel so that it sets the precedent of what is deemed permissible in the face of "international law". I said it before, it does not get any more obviously genocidal than this.

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

Demonstrators and artists have taken the steps of the met museum unfurling an ENORMOUS (30 x 50 foot) quilt created by artists around the world in solidarity with Palestine.

The quilt was collectively created by 64 artists from around the world and shipped to New York City.

They're demanding the met museum:

(1) cut ties with board members profiting from Israeli bombardment + occupation of Palestine

(2) support an immediate + permanent ceasefire

(3) aid the preservation of Palestinian cultural heritage sites being destroyed by Israel

In addition to the quilt, demonstrators reclaimed and redistributed Met flyers, stickered with movement messaging and demands.
