1/ A year ago, @visualizingpal launched #PalestineToday, telling the story of 1,200 historical towns, villages and cities, and highlighting how the #Nakba and the foundation of #Israel in 1948 created the fractured #Palestinian geography that we see today today.visualizingpalestine.org
2/ Looking at the history of the region in this way helps us to put today's events in context. Eg. in "mixed cities" like #Jaffa, #Haifa or #Lydd, where many #Palestinians were forcibly displaced in 1948, and those that remained became an isolated minority today.visualizingpalestine.org/lydda/
3/ In the #GazaStrip, where nearly 70% of the population are refugees originating from towns and villages in what became #Israel, the population of towns and cities like #Gaza, #Rafah and #KhanYounis have increased massively today.visualizingpalestine.org/rafah/

#Gaza flooded the Israeli interception systems with dozens of rockets and missiles. This has never happened before: a huge challenge to #Israel. There are direct hits registered of missiles which managed to break the Iron Dome system.
Tel Aviv will no longer be safe if #Gaza is bombed. No redlines stand anymore. #Israel is facing #Gaza that it’s resistance is well armed now and has the will to fireback and defend not only itself but also all the Palestinians.
Most Palestinians will stand by #Gaza from today onwards thanks to the Israeli arrogance to evict Palestinians from their homes in Hay sheikh Jarrah and its aggressive unlawful behaviour in al-Aqsa.

The ship, LORI (IMO number 9631125) has been sailing for the last few days. The ship left the port of Dar es Salaam in #Tanzania on March 20 on its way to the port of #Mundra in India. The vessel performed a sharp & strange maneuver off the coast of #Oman btw 3:50 and 4:55 pm.

This is a thread about three of life's greatest things: #pasta, @Wikipedia, and @Wikidata.

There are many other great things in life, but this thread is not about them.
A couple of weeks ago I celebrated a birthday in an Italian restaurant in #Haifa, and I saw a pack of pasta of a curious shape on a shelf there. I asked whether they serve it or sell it.
"No", they told me, "it's just a display".

This answer didn't satisfy me.

From the beginning, Zionists advocated a "Jewish State" not just in #Palestine, but also in #Jordan, southern #Lebanon, and the #GolanHeights as well.
As it will be proved from the quotes below:
#ICC4Israel #EthnicCleaning #Occupation #BDS #Gaza
Source:palestineremembered.com/Acre/Famous-Zi…👈
#Palestinians are not indigenous to #Palestine👈This propaganda has no other purpose than 2 further dehumanize Palestinians & justify #Israel’s ongoing ethnic cleansing & murder
In #BenGurion own words👇😡you'll see how that outrageous claim is far removed from historical reality
“We must expel the Arabs and take their places…”~#DavidBenGurion
Born in 1886 as David Green (Gruen) in Plonsk, #Poland. He is considered one of the three founding figures of Zionism beside #ChaimWeizmann & #Herzl.

#MyNakbaStory thread: 1/ In June 1947, my grandpa Abu Adel secured a building permit from the Government of #Palestine for a home in Balad al-Shaykh, a village on the outskirts of #Haifa. For yrs, he'd been selling ful medammes (favabean stew) & hummus from the back of a donkey—
2/ —his first ever business partner. He'd take the donkey from one Palestinian village to another, traveling along unmarked roads in and around Haifa from sunrise to sunset. The people of those villages came to know my grandfather as بياع الفول, the ful seller.
3/ Abu Adel sold ful and hummus this way until he saved up enough money to open his own ful shop, pictured above in 1945, and to buy land upon which to make a home for his growing family. His shop became so popular that he would later be referred to as ملك الفول, the King of Ful
