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 I manifest the shakti of #consciousness over matter - moving objects without touching them. I'm sitting more than 1 ft from the coconut. It rolls when I'm in Oneness with @SriNithyananda & the coconut. I only give command internally

Person holding the coconut is new to me
It's one of the powers which Swamiji initiates people into. There's no eligibility criteria other than your own intention to experience it.
.@SriNithyananda Swamiji had declared, that anyone who makes fun of/abuses his disciples or him for sharing His teachings, or in this case, the extraordinary shaktis of MAHADEVA Himself, you are relieving us of our karma.

Dr. Blasey has now moved out of her house due to death threats in case anyone out there is still pretending to be confused about why women don't just come forward. nytimes.com/2018/09/18/us/…
So many people on this thread have expressed a desire to show support for Dr. Blasey, that i wanted to share this GoFundMe started by a Georgetown law professor and longtime #GrabYourWallet supporter to help out w/ Dr. Blasey's security costs.
Yeah! Because of the high volume of support shown in a short period of time, Georgetown law professor Heidi Li Feldman has raised the goal to help out w/ Dr. Blasey's security costs to $50k! Let's do this! gofundme.com/to-cover-dr-fo…

Israel's "imminent" demolition of Palestinian village Khan al-Ahmar will be a "war crime" says @hrw, adding: "Global condemnation alone has not stopped serious war crimes during Israel’s 50-yr occupation. Action & justice is long overdue." hrw.org/news/2018/09/1… via @OmarSShakir
Khan al-Ahmar's plight is an insight into, and microcosm of, Israel's apartheid regime, as this @AP report makes clear.

"Israel places severe restrictions on Palestinian development while supporting and promoting dozens of settlements in the area."

yahoo.com/news/doomed-pa…
Meanwhile, a 66-y-o French-American law professor, Frank Romano, remains in detention after being arrested by Israeli occupation forces on Friday.

"Exceptionally, the arrest of Romano...was extended by 96 hours under military code rather than civil law."

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:

#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.
