States DON'T have rights. PEOPLE DO. "...that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights" Rights belong to people, not to organized structures through which people exercise power!
36 children were killed in an Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Hormozgan province, Iran. The same doctrine that bombed schools in Gaza is now bombing schools in Iran.
Israel debates a death penalty bill for Palestinian prisoners, but as Abdel Nasser Ferwana shows, executions have been routine for decades. The bill would simply formalize what already exists: an old policy of killing prisoners outside any legal framework www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1658...
‘Aboud is a West Bank village that has been sealed off in all four directions by Israeli settlements, gates, and outposts, turning daily life into a struggle for movement, land, and survival. As Uday al-Barghouthi writes, this is displacement by design. www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1658...
Gaza saw its first major rainfall of the season today. Within minutes, people were submerged and tents holding families and children flooded. This is slow death. There is no justification for why proper shelter that can withstand the elements is not being allowed in.
From olive groves seized behind the wall to murals in Bethlehem and youth football in Aida refugee camp, Palestinians resist erasure through land, art, and community. Dalal Radwan writes on life, creativity, and defiance under occupation. www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

Quadcopters bomb grazing donkeys. Soldiers shoot them for sport. Others are stolen and sent abroad. Israel calls this “rescue.” In Gaza, it’s the destruction of the last threads of mobility. Report by Mohammad al-Naami. www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

In conversation with @laythco.bsky.social, Dr. @yipengge.bsky.social exposes Israel’s “choreography of destruction,” a campaign that besieges and empties Gaza’s hospitals, turns them to rubble, and targets the doctors who keep them alive. 🔗 Read here: www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

I don't know what's going on in this world but I posted yesterday on "X" that a relative of mine was killed while seeking aid and a zionist account accused me of lying to make Israel look bad...
"Children are not starving because food is scarce. They are starving because the borders are closed. Because aid is blocked. Because food convoys are targeted... Gaza is not starving. Gaza is being starved. And the world is watching." www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

This is the Abusalim Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in my hometown, Deir el-Balah. A beautiful landmark; serene, quiet, peaceful. It was built by my grandfather’s brother and stood tall for years. Today, the genocidal and deranged Israeli regime bombed it with a suicide drone.
