WATCH: Israel's blockade of Gaza is intensifying as the sole power plant has been forced to close due to a lack of fuel, leaving Palestinians without electricity for 18 hours a day. Just a few hours of power a day turns many aspects of everyday life upside down.
Due to power cuts by Israel, one hospital in Gaza shut down for a few hours, while services are being cut back. "if fuel does not come in immediately, people’s lives will be at stake, with the most vulnerable patients...at highest risk news.un.org/en/story/2018/…
Meanwhile, more than 7,000 surgeries have been postponed in recent months as Gaza’s hospitals have struggled to cope with thousands of live fire injuries by Israeli forces during mass protests electronicintifada.net/blogs/maureen-…

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…

Netanyahu can do that only until US withdraws (not sure Russia would wait to respond until the full withdrawal). #Israel is weaker than ever: Arab relshp doesn't equal power.

#Syria will not abandon #Iran & #Hezbollah won't abandon the Palestinian cause.

There is no doubt #Israel was afraid of the Syrian air defence system, hiding behind two civilian aircraft and endangering the lives of hundreds of civilians, for fear of the new air-defence system delivered by #Russia to #Syria./+
Syria didn't have so many anti-air defence system before the war or even until 2017. It is thanks to #Israel continuous violation of the Syrian airspace and the anger of #Russia that a certain balance has been created, to the benefit of #Syria./+

Natural #Gas - #Gaza has it: #Israel wanted it. That simple.
Anyone who thinks that the siege has to do with 'terrorism' or 'defending Israel', or for that matter the history of the conflict, are missing the elephant in the room: fiddleferme.blogspot.com/2009/01/natura…
#IDF's #Gaza assault is to control #Palestinian Natural Gas, avert Israeli energy crisis.
2014 - #Israel's Def. Min. has confirmed that military plans to 'uproot #Hamas' are about dominating #Gaza's #Gas Reserves.

Curious what facts MSM is not reporting about today's planned tantrum in #Gaza that Palestinians call the #GazaReturnMarch? Look no further and unwind this thread 👇 #Israel
These planned riots on the border between #Israel and #Gaza have been taking place for 6+ weeks and expected to culminate on May 15th (tomorrow), to coincide with the Palestinian “Nakba” day.
#GazaReturnMarch is of course named after the so-called "right of return" of 5 - 7 million refugees and their offspring because Palestinians are invested in the mythology that they flood and strangle #Israel, a country of 8 million. Keep dreaming.

1- Thread: Why should you join over 4000 people who believe #Israel may be committing #genocide against the indigenous #Palestinian people?
israelgenocide.com/take-action/
2- In the past two years, Israel has executed over 400 Palestinians in the streets of the West Bank. A fourth of them children, the majority of them youth. Tens of thousands have been injured.
3- There are currently over 6000 Palestinian prisoners in Israel's prisons. It is estimated that in the past two years over 14,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned (that's 20 new prisoners every day on average).
