Graphic design artist Moataz Abu Sakran shares footage of the damage inflicted by the IOF on several famous mosques in north Gaza as Ramadan approaches. The first, Omari Mosque or the Great Mosque of Gaza, has been a religious site for over 3000 years, dating to the late-Bronze Age Philistine people. Religious buildings there have been destroyed many times. God willing, they will always be rebuilt.
john is so interesting because i don't think i've ever consumed a piece of media where there is a character who is a god and became one within a pre-exisiting cultural context of other gods, which they then use to justify their actions. like by the end of the gospel of john within ntn it is clear that john was power hungry and he killed everyone on earth because no one could stop him and he felt he had the right to decide the fate of all of humanity because he knew better than everyone else... and he's trying to convince himself everything he did was fine and good because the earth needed to be wiped clean to begin anew without evil, like the story of the flood. he genocided everyone on earth and killed the rest of the planets in the galaxy to consume all their souls and get revenge on the trillionaires who were going to abandon everyone to the climate apocalypse and he's using christian mythology to justify it. there's a lot to unpack there

The Great (Omari) Mosque of Gaza (406 AD-2023 AD) started its life as a Byzantine church built by Saint Eudocia (wife of Theodosius II). After the Muslim conquest of the 7th century it became a mosque, and was sacked or partially destroyed by the Crusaders, Ayyubids, Mongols, and British (plus damage from one earthquake in the 11th century). Nevertheless, it persisted...until last night when it was bombed to smithereens by an Israeli airstrike.
Aside from the one color photo and the photo right below that, all photos above were taken after the 1917 British shelling of Ottoman positions (the Brits blamed the explosion at the mosque on ammunition the Ottomans had been storing there).
got reminded of the "saying Arabs conquered and colonized North Africa is Zionist because obviously no one saying that coulx possibly draw a distinction between North African Arabs and Palestinian Arabs, and even drawing a distinction between Arabs and Imazighen is colonizer shit" school of thought
the attack on a church in Jerusalem today is just another reason why you must always talk about zionism being foremost anti-Palestinian and a promoter of Jewish supremacy meaning the goal is to completely judaize the region by removing all evidence of other religious (and ethnic) ties to the land
A miniature train gifted by the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens is getting its first spin in Christchurch.
Yusuf Islam gifted his "peace train" after the deadly attacks on the Al Noor and Linwood mosques in the city in 2019.
Fifty-one people died and 40 more were injured in the attack by a lone gunman, who has since been jailed.
Islam praised Mahia Te Aroha, a city initiative formed after the attacks to spread peace and compassion.
He travelled to Christchurch after the attacks and performed his 1971 hit Peace Train at the remembrance service, two weeks on.
"It's only a little thing, a little chugger, but it's a sign of my connection with your beautiful country, your beautiful people, and the hearts that have given so much to the world through this example," he said in a video message
