Como nos encanta la historia de #Israel, desde hoy hasta las celebraciones del Día de la Independencia contaremos un evento significativo por cada año de nuestra historia. 75 años, 75 historias.
¿Listos?

El 14 de mayo de 1948, David Ben Gurion lee el acta de independencia del naciente Estado de #Israel bajo los principios de "libertad, justicia y paz".
Después de generaciones, por fin se cumple el sueño milenario del pueblo de Israel de volver a ser libre en su tierra ancestral.

#BREAKING: The weapon storage sites of #Hezbollah terrorist organization which are targeted by #IsraeliAirForce minutes ago are in #KafrKila or #Kfarkela in South of #Lebanon. Here is an screenshot of the footage showing the storage facility on fire after the airstrike.
#BREAKING: At-least three different #Hezbollah weapon storage facilities including one at Kafr Kila in South #Lebanon are destroyed by #Israel Air Force. #IDF is on high alert & ready to counter possible rocket barrage of #Hezollah terrorist group at #Haifa & #TelAviv.
#Hezbollah is capable of firing over 5,000 rockets at #Israel during any possible war which might last to maximum six weeks starting from tonight. #Israel Air Defense Command is well prepared to counter the threat of rockets & missiles fired by #Hezbollah at #Israel.
#Israel 🇮🇱 military says it has thwarted an apparent attempt by #Hamas to carry out an attack on Israel from the sea, said a number of operatives from Hamas were spotted today in the north of the Strip with suspected “naval diving weaponry”

#Israel 🇮🇱 Magen David Adom ambulance service says those being treated at the site of a #Gaza 🇵🇸 rocket strike in #Ashdod include 3 people lightly hurt by broken glass and five people who suffered anxiety attacks
Turkish 🇹🇷 President Recep Tayyip Erdogan @RTErdogan urged Pope Francis @Pontifex to help end what he called #Israel’s 🇮🇱 “massacre” of #Palestinians 🇵🇸, which should be punished with sanctions, his office said
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.
#Breaking: Fear of another attack on #Israeli-owned vessels.
Following the attack on the ship of businessman Rami Unger at the end of February, there are reports of damage to another Israeli-owned ship. The details are still vague.

#Liban #Nasrallah affirme que suite à l’expérience de la guerre de 2006, le #Hezbollah est a même de trouver des solutions de logements provisoires aux familles sinistrées »
#Nasrallah « on regarde positivement la visite du Président français surtout quand elle vise à aider le #Liban [...] ceci ouvre une opportunité pour sortir de l’état de blocus »
#Nasrallah « quand une grande catastrophe frappe [...] les différents et conflits sont mis en suspend [...] même en temps de guerre [...] ce n’était pas le cas de certains médias et responsables politiques qui accusent le #Hezbollah de stocker des armes/explosifs dans le port »
#Nasrallah’s speech has started.
He is praising his own party for calling for blood donation.
How cute!

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.
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.

#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
