🧵 Qur'an Recitation & Translation 🧵 Salamualaikum & greetings! This thread will serve as a bank for the Qur'an recitation spaces we're doing. Format: reciter recites some Qur'an in Arabic then that is translated into English.

Setting aside the false claims of Oct. 7 rapes that have been all over the NYT, there is documented video evidence of Israeli soldiers sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. Members of the Knesset openly argued over whether soldiers should be punished for it and Israeli mobs rioted in support of soldiers raping Palestinians. That’s just from *one* case.

Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel. The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.

Kristof deserves no credit for this; this is how he and the NYT continue their clean up job of manufacturing the case for genocide. Not only did he spend much of the past two years spreading pro-genocide propaganda - even urging us to consider why the Israelis would want to kill everyone - but he even slips in here the still unproven Israeli claim that women were raped on Oct 7. Imagine sharing a piece in which you share actual testimonies from Palestinians about the sexual violence they’ve experienced at the hands of their occupiers, their genocidaires, and you still propagate a pro-genocide claim without any evidence.

Insane story. A school district in Long Island covered up a watermelon painting on the personalized parking spot of a high school senior after complaints from pro-Israel parents. The student sued, alleging 1st amendment violation. The judge found that the student had a case and urged the school to settle. An initial agreement of $100k + apology was reached. Then the school reneged on the apology and paid an extra $25k instead - all to avoid admitting that expressions the Palestinian identity are not hate speech.

One of the most striking indictments of US news media made in the Kristof piece, unintentionally, is that we are given an incredible example of how the word of Israelis is taken without any shred of evidence while Palestinians must provide every detail imaginable of the violence inflicted against them, and even then their suffering is treated, at best, as secondary if even acknowledged. Also worth noting that Screams without Words was an official investigation by the New York Times and this report is in the opinion section.

a lot of people on here with a lot of strong opinions are treating Gaza like a policy consideration to debate and not like the live-streamed slaughter, rape, displacement, starvation of a nation, almost half of whom were children.

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin. An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.

'After almost a week of deliberation, the jury could not agree that I was guilty.' 'Every time we show up, we remind ourselves, the country, the world — that this genocide will not go unaccounted for. That there are people who will not stay silent. Who will not be put off. Who will not be frightened into looking away.' — @Majstar7 Incredibly proud of our brother Majid. The state and the lobby threw everything at him. He was unwavering. Uncompromising. After over three weeks, the prosecution failed to prove guilt. Now they want a full 4‑week retrial — to try and convict him again under the Terrorism Act. To make him face up to 14 years in prison all over again. All those resources. All that public funding. Because Majid dared to support the oppressed and illegally occupied Palestinians! God bless and protect you, Majid. We will stand with you every step of the way.

A mother looking at her entire family, all of whom were martyred. All I want is for you to understand the depth of what she was feeling in that moment, as she sat there silently, staring at them wrapped in shrouds before her.

I don’t think people are taking what’s happening in Lebanon seriously enough. 40 people were massacred by lsrael today, including children. 40 people. DURING A CEASEFIRE. Where’s the outrage?

8 decades of history summed up one 20 second video

They shot a Palestinian boy in his back and then shot him again 4-5 times. If any other country executed a child like this, it would be front-page news.

Perfectly reasonable response. I’m not sure why any university would even allow an IDF member on their campus. Why would you want your students to be antagonized by rapists and baby killers?

Update: the 12 year old girl I mentioned in this story who was hunted down by an Israeli drone has died from her injuries.

قتلتهم إسرائيل جميعاً اليوم في جنوب لبنان.

Those sweet babies holding hands as demons surround them. wipe Israel off the map.

A school shooting you won't see on your evening news.

The WSJ report that Israel built a clandestine military base in Iraq's western desert before the air war against Iran began. It housed special forces, search-and-rescue teams, and served as a forward logistics hub for the air campaign roughly 1,000 miles from home. The U.S. knew about the base. Iraq did not. 1) In early March, a local shepherd spotted unusual helicopter activity and alerted the Iraqi military. Iraqi troops drove out at dawn in Humvees to investigate on their own territory. 2) Israel struck them with airstrikes, killing one Iraqi soldier and wounding two others, to prevent the base from being discovered. 3) Iraq condemned the attack and filed a complaint with the UN, attributing it to the U.S. The U.S. wasn't involved but didn't correct the record. 4) Iraq sent elite Counter Terrorism units to search the area afterward. They found evidence of military presence but couldn't identify whose it was. In sum, Israel operated a military installation on the sovereign territory of a country it is not at war with, without permission or coordination. When that country's soldiers investigated activity on their own soil, Israel used lethal force against them to protect the secret. This is nothing short of an act of war against Iraq and shows that Israel disregards the sovereignty of all nations.

Israel executed Jana and her baby daughter Maryam today in Saksakiyeh, South Lebanon. They dropped a bomb on the home where Jana had taken refuge with her child. A mother and her baby.

Israeli drone chased and struck a man on a scooter with his 12 year old daughter, killing the father. The little girl ran, wounded, ran and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She has succumbed to her wounds.
