Anthony Bourdain, an avid supporter of Palestinian rights, died this morning at the age of 61. During the 2014 Israeli assault on Gaza he tweeted this message about Israel's targeting of Palestinian children to his followers.
Bourdain's show Parts Unknown received the Voices of Courage and Conscience media award for his episode on Palestine in which he travelled through the occupied West Bank and Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2014/05/bourda…
"I was enormously grateful for the response from Palestinians in particular for doing what seemed to me an ordinary thing...cooking and enjoying meals, playing with their children, talking about their lives, their hopes and dreams."- Anthony Bourdain
His episode on Gaza and the West Bank brought out the reality of living under Israeli occupation and the racism and exclusivity of Israeli settlements. thedailybeast.com/watching-antho…
“The world has visited many terrible things on the Palestinian people, none more shameful than robbing them of their basic humanity.” - Anthony Bourdain

Palestinian musician Naseem Alatrash just released his latest music video titled Lifta, after the Palestinian village destroyed and depopulated during the 1948 Nakba. The video is shot in what remains of Lifta village today.
In 1947 2,550 Palestinians lived in the town of Lifta. There were coffeehouses, shops, an elementary school, and a social club. But later that year Lifta was targeted by zionist militia and destroyed, its inhabitants displaced. eyewitnesspalestine.org/delegation66-e…
Naseem Alatrash is a globally acclaimed Palestinian cellist. He studied at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, a Palestinian music conservatory, before coming to the US to broaden his skills and perform on the global stage. berklee.edu/people/naseem-…

Israeli army checkpoints suffocate, humiliate, and collectively punish millions of Palestinians. Blocking patients from hospitals, children from schools, and workers from jobs. Decade after decade, a population being split into isolated islands, without one day of freedom.
"Ahmad’s alarm went off at 3:00am. That’s what time the 25-year-old from the West Bank village of Yatta needs to get up in order to get through the checkpoint and avoid being late for his construction job, which starts in Jerusalem at 7:00am." abc.net.au/news/2017-06-0…
There are at least 100 Israeli checkpoints in the occupied West Bank: If someone wants to run an errand that should take 10 minutes, it could turn into an hour, and the reason for that is the existence of the checkpoints. aljazeera.com/news/2015/11/i…

WATCH: Israeli forces threw stun grenades and pushed and dragged Palestinians who were protesting the demolition of four buildings in the West Bank village of al-Walajeh over the weekend. 10 Palestinians were injured. [Via @nasseratta5]
Israel has demolished over 48,000 Palestinian structures in the occupied West Bank since 1967, the start of its military occupation of Palestinian land aljazeera.com/news/2017/02/d…
"When Israeli forces routinely and repeatedly demolish homes in occupied territory without showing that it’s necessary for military operations, it appears that the only purpose is to drive families off their land, which is a war crime”--@hrw hrw.org/news/2013/08/2…

Video of IED detonation at #Gaza fence after it was placed by Islamic Jihad members awaiting IDF troops to come near it. #Israel
Wire cutters were left there to attract IDF soldiers to come near the IED so it would be detonated near them. #Gaza #Israel
A few more photos of the two dead. Seems the second PIJ member is too disfigured to be photographed.

#Israel will never recognize #Palestine,illegal segregated settlements in the #WestBank keep growing & #Gaza is a #ConcentrationCamp.
THE 2-STATE SOLUTION FACADE ENABLES #ISRAEL TO CLAIM THEY'RE A DEMOCRACY,allowing settlers in the occupied territories to vote & #Palestinians not
#Netanyahu:"I Deceived the #US to Destroy Oslo Accords"
#Israel never wanted peace,they already occupy #Palestine, only maintain the 2-state solution topic alive so they don't have to let Palestinians vote while claiming to be a Democracy.
