Historical and modern examples of the Intifada thobe. Israel banned the Palestinian flag during the first Intifada, so women would sew it into their dresses.

im sure its been said already but as the election draws near more and more liberals will come out of the woodwork to shame people with a conscience to give away their vote to the democrats for free. i'm already seeing posts saying "why aren't people more concerned about a trump presidency?" you want to know why? it's because people already know he's bad. everyone already knows what he is and what he's done and what he'll do. there's nothing to discuss. he's a racist despotic worm of a man. there's nothing else to say.

biden is currently president. the genocide is happening under his watch. he's the one funding isra*l and arming them; he's sidestepped congress more than once to give them weapons. by oct. 27, the biden administration already knew that "Israel was regularly bombing buildings without solid intelligence that they were legitimate military targets." the state department/biden have engaged in atrocity propaganda, cast doubt on the legitimacy of the death toll recorded by the gaza health ministry, and so on. the united states is currently in the process of trying to pin the "war in gaza" on netanyahu (see sen. schumer's speech) after months of backing blatant genocide as a means to act as if they're "doing something" about the genocide (Instead of, say, threatening to cut off all aid to israel with the condition that all hostilities in gaza, the west bank, and occupied jerusalem are halted immediately and permanently, allowing palestinians freedom to travel, allowing aid into gaza, etc etc etc.)

the long and short of it is that liberals view their own lives as being worth more than palestinians'. that's it. they'll vote for another 4 years of the guy ushering in genocide and supporting apartheid + settler colonialism because he isn't outright attacking them (despite various laws and rulings happening both at the supreme court level and at the local level all over the country that will endanger people). they'll settle for the illusion of safety and security and shame anyone with a conscience and accuse them of "supporting the republicans" when in an actual democracy you would be able to use your vote as leverage to extract concessions from those who want to be elected. that's how it's supposed to fucking work.

democrats are not owed people's vote. if biden loses, it will be biden's fault; it will be his campaign's fault; it will be the democrats' fault. trump is bad; the republicans are bad. we already know this. this is not an endorsement of either. but if democrats are too cowardly and feckless and servile to the motivations of the american empire and never do anything for their constituents then why the fuck should anyone vote for them. you want to get mad at someone, why don't you do something useful and stop worrying about team-sports with a purely selfish basis and start hounding the people in power who are supposed to serve you, the voter.

#i think i already said this and frankly idc #uspol #📁.zip #to me personally it's abhorrent and vile to tell palestinians 'biden is facilitating the murder of your people culture and history but you #still have to vote for him!!1' like how is that not unbelievably callous and ghoulish #frankly speaking. a lot of this 'you should be concerned about trump' is going to turn into #blaming palestinians and arabs and muslims and anyone remotely with a conscience for biden's loss #instead of doing something productive like pushing for people in power to do something they'll nitpick and belittle #and tell palestinians + arabs and muslims + everyone who understands that genocide is bad that they SHOULD #settle for a decrepit genocidal monstrous freak who is CURRENTLY facilitating genocide because #it makes THEM feel better and they aren't personally threatened (yet) by the guy currently in power #any and all 'you're not taking trump seriously' comments should be met with extreme skepticism #because i promise i PROMISE that the vast majority of people unhappy with biden are not going to turn around and vote for trump #and if they do? well guess what THAT'S BIDEN'S FAULT! nevermind the vote uncommitted campaign that was very successful and #will be replicated in the near future. but liberals only care about asthetics and superficial and not #about real material change which is why they'll dress up their callousness and racism in a 'you hate gay people if you dont vote for biden' #like this country is already going to shit we are rapidly descending into fascism and i dont see biden doing anything to even remotely #challenge it do you???? once agian. NOT an endorsement of the republican party but my GOD when the 'lesser evil' #is DOING the evil or normalizing the evil then you cannot settle for 'the lesser'! end of story.

when the homes in the depopulated palestinian village of lifta were originally built is impossible to tell and most likely varies from house to house. the area's been known since ancient times, including having been written about in the hebrew bible. it's retained multiple different names throughout history - lifta by romans, nephto by byzantines, clepsta by crusaders, then lifta again by arabs. in more recent times, the area saw battle in the early 19th century, when it saw a peasant's revolt against egyptian conscription and taxation policies. (egyptian-ottoman ruler muhammad ali had attempted to become independent from the ottoman empire, and sought to use the area of "greater syria" which palestine was apart of as a buffer state.)

the village was predominantly muslim with a mosque, a maqām for local sage shaykh badr, a few shops, a social club, two coffee houses, and an elementary school which opened in 1945. its economy was based in farming - being a village of jerusalem, farmers would sell their produce in the city's markets. an olive press which remains in the village gives evidence to one of the most important crops its residents farmed. the historically wealthy village was known for its intricate embroidery and sewing, particularly of thob ghabani bridal dresses, which attracted buyers from across the levant.

lifta also represents one of the few palestinian villages in which the structures weren't totally or mostly decimated during the 1948 nakba. 60 of the 450 original houses remain intact. from zochrot's entry on lifta:

israel's absentee property law of 1950 permits the state to expropriate land and assets left behind, and denies palestinians the right to return to old homes or to reclaim their property. it's estimated that there's around 400,000 descendants of the village's original refugee population dispersed in east jerusalem, the west bank, jordan, and the palestinian diaspora.

like many depopulated palestinian houses, some of those in lifta were initially used to settle predominantly mizrahi immigrants and refugees, in this case 300 jewish families from yemen and kurdistan. the houses weren't registered in their names, and the area generally saw poor infrastructure and no resources including water and electricity provided by the government. most left in the early 1970s as a part of a compensation program to move out people who'd been settled in depopulated palestinian houses - if they didn't, they were referred to as "squatters" and evicted. (holes were even drilled in the roofs of evacuated buildings to make them less habitable). the 13 families which remain there today only managed to do so because they lived close to the edge of the village.

in 1987, the israeli nature reserves authority planned to restore the "long-abandoned village" and turn it into a natural history center which would "stress the jewish roots of the site", but nothing came of it. several more government proposals on what to do with the land had been brought up since then. this culminated in in 2021 when the israel land administration announced without informing the jerusalem municipal authorities that it issued a tender for the construction of a luxury neighborhood on the village's ruins, consisting of 259 villas, a hotel, and a mall. since 2023, they've agreed to shelve and "rethink" these plans after widespread objection.

the reasons for the objections varied significantly between the opposing israeli politicians - who see the village as an exemplar of cultural heritage and "frozen in time" model of palestinian villages before 1948 - and palestinians - who largely see the village as a witness of the nakba and a symbol of hope for their return. lifta is currently listed by unesco as a potential world heritage site, a designation netanyahu has threatened to remove several times.

many palestinians who are descendent from its former residents still live nearby. like with many other depopulated palestinian villages, they've never ceased to visit, organize tours of the village, and advocate for its preservation.

Hadal embroidered an Arabic love poem by Mahmoud Darwish, a Palestinian poet, on invisible tulle. The embroidery is custom typography created by a calligraphy artist. The poem reads:

قالوا: تموت بها حبـاًً، فقلـت لهـم

‏ألا اذكروها علـى قبـري فتحيينـي

English translation:

They asked “Do you love her to death?” I said “Speak of her over my grave and watch how she brings me back to life.”

Palestinian embroidery, or “tatreez”, is a cultural practice that dates back to the Canaanites some 3000 years ago— a labor of love that we still see coming out of Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora today. Prior to the occupation, tatreez was used to signify things like where a person was from, their marital status, and their economic status using a variety of region specific symbols as well as various colors. Tatreez has in recent decades been used by Palestinians both in Palestine and the diaspora as a form of resistance against Israel’s attempt at wiping out and/or appropriating Palestinian history and culture.

#dress is from Deerah i thought it was sooo pretty I HAD to draw #I’ve had a lot of fun learning about Palestinian embroidery bc i love garment history #bluedle

People going “ok fine Palestinians aren’t Hamas but then also Israelis aren’t the IOF” or “I support Palestine but Hamas should be peaceful”

Fuck off im being so serious

Israelis aren’t the IOF but they are taking to social media to celebrate the massacres of entire families?

Israelis aren’t the IOF but there is a mandatory conscription??

Israelis aren’t the IOF but there are armed militias in the West Bank attacking, killing, and maiming any Palestinians they see???

The only Israelis I have seen refuse to be complicit in the active genocide their government is committing right now are:

The Orthodox Jewish community that squares up with the police all the time

The protesters irl and on social media that the authorities are threatening to round up and put in Gaza if they don’t stop

We cannot expect and allow an oppressed people to die quietly and we cannot ignore the settler laughing while it happens

#not to sound like Vanessa Hudgens #but…people are gonna die… #to avoid this I would simply not do a settler colonialism #I’d hate to hear some of yalls takes on the Haitian Revolution and mf Toussaint Louverture #also #?????? #the propaganda spread about Hamas is fucking insane bc most of the deaths were caused by the IOF themselves #tik tok rn is full of settlers dressing up as Palestinians and mocking their suffering or playing with their water or lights #settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of the worlds eyes on Gaza to steal more land and homes from Palestinians rn #be serious #fuck israel #israel is an apartheid state #and I don’t need anyone calling me antisemitic over this #being against colonialism and Zionism does not mean I’m against Judaism we must stay focused

I got so fucking mad about the news around Rafah that I went out and bought the supplies for a protest sign. I wasn't sure if I could make it to tomorrow's demonstration, but I'm sure as hell joining them now

#I'm going to dress up modestly and be mostly silent #my role is to let the Palestinians talk and be a visual cue to know even Jewish people are against the colony. a bridge to onlookers

[junadeo]

me when im not fucking evil

#“uh theres no genocide because hamas soldiers dress up as civilians sometimes lol so all civilians killed are just probably hamas fighters” #literally kys you sick fuck #this unknowable variable is so perfect for israel defenders because it can easily be used to dismiss any deaths of palestinian innocents at #the hands of idf soldiers #not just any deaths but potentially all deaths #this post just keeps on getting more and more worse as i scroll down it. 3 paragraphs down and its literally going like #“the israeli army has given the palestinians enough time to evacuate north gaza so everybody still in north gaza must be hamas” #israel gave a million palestinians one single day to escape north gaza. roof knocking isnt an effective method of warning people. some #people just cant move for a plethora of reasons. and why should anybody have to move in the first place? surely there are less destructive #methods that israel could use to get rid of hamas or even just reduce its support? such as lift the blockade (the thing that helps #radicalize palestinians) for instance? #fuck the guy who made this. seriously. get banished to the shadowrealm indefinitely #yeah i got real mad here but i feel that my anger is very well justified #i guess im going to sleep now #palestine #post

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian babies that were left to starve to death then rot in their beds by the IOF.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian doctors surrounded by bodies of dead children begging the world to stop the slaughter.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian children who held a press conference in English to beg the world to stop murdering them because they want to live.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian Priest who said "We will not accept your apology after the genocide" to the world.

I'm never forgetting the Palestinian Imam who used the speakers of the Mosque, not to call people to prayer but to call out to God while the world around them was burning from American supplied Israeli bombs.

I'm never forgetting the grandfather who held his dead grandchild in his arms. Or the father carrying the remains of his two children in plastic shopping bags. Or the mother holding her dead child in a shroud. Or the father sitting among the rubble after he lost his whole family. Or the girl trapped under a broken building begging for people to save her family first. Or the boy who cried when he saw his brother alive. Or the girl who asked if she was still alive after being pulled from the rubble. Or the boy who carried the remains of his brother in his backpack. Or the old man the IOF used for a photoshoot before they shot him dead after getting pictures. Or the little boy wearing plastic gloves to pick up the remains of his family. Or the graves desecrated. Or the body of that small baby girl left alone in a tent because no one knew who she was or if her family was alive, small and alone and not one person who knew her name to bury her. Or the young boy who was shot in the street while his sister watched from the window. Or the men and boys who were stripped naked in winter. Or those tortured. Or those made to stand in open graves. Or the people who were raped by IOF soldiers. Or Palestinian workers kidnapped by the IOF and then labeled with wristbands, each one reduced to a number, then made to walk back to Gaza to be killed in the world's largest open air concentration camp. Or the people of Gaza starving because Israeli Zionists are blocking aid trucks. Or the Israelis dancing and celebrating the death of Palestinians. Or the lies spread by Zionists and their supporters. Or the people profiting off the oppression and deaths of Palestinians. Or the people of the West Bank being killed or kidnapped by the IOF. Or old woman who was older than the creation of the terror state of "Israel" who was shot by snipers for saying that. Or the Israelis dressed up as Palestinians to enter a hospital and kill three Palestinians in their beds. Or every single Palestinian currently kept in an Israeli prison. Or the journalists, doctors, poets, men, women, children, and the unborn all massacred. Or the fact that WCNSF exists now. Or the woman who refused to wash the blood from her hands. Or the dead, unburied and unmourned.

I'm never forgetting those who chose silence in the face of a genocide.

I may not know all their names but I will not forget the over 30,000 Palestinians dead. Or the over 60, 000 people hurt. Or the unknown number of people missing, still lost under the rubble. Or the 12,000 children slaughtered. An entire generation crippled or murdered.

I will never forget these things when Palestine is free.
