As of May 2018, 291 Palestinian children were held in Israeli prisons as security detainees and prisoners. Ahed Tamimi, detained as a 17 year-old in December, was sentenced to 8 months in an Israeli jail. Tamimi is set to be released this Sunday.
Ahed Tamimi was detained for standing up to an Israeli soldier harassing her family near their home in the occupied village of Nabi Saleh. She was convicted and sentenced to 8 months in an Israeli jail where she faced multiple forms of harassment.

Tamimi's detention and later conviction was hailed by many around the world as a disproportionate response to a teenager defending her land. theatlantic.com/international/…
Palestinian minors are not only detained and imprisoned by Israeli forces, but also fatally shot. Just this week, Israeli forces shot dead fifteen year-old Arkan Thaer Mizhar during a raid on the Dheisheh refugee camp in occupied Bethlehem. aljazeera.com/news/middleeas…

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…

The One State Reality - #Israeli control of #Palestinian daily life. Palestinians in West Bank must by water from Israel's national water company Mekorot, which appropriates 80% of West Bank water supply. #Apartheid @visualizingpal
Access: #Israel maintains over 98 fixed checkpoints & 100's of random "flying" checkpoints in the West Bank, choking #Palestinian freedom of movement. #Apartheid @visualizingpal
Currency: Today there is no #Palestinian currency; everybody uses the #Israeli shekel. Israel is capable of blocking any future attempts to create a Palestinian currency. #Apartheid @visualizingpal

•Its #FPfriday and we will be talking about “Practical ways to introducing #adolescents and #youths to #sexuality and reproductive health info by Wemimo Adebiyi #Safespaces4youth #FPFriday #LifePlanningGIT .@Devcoms .@GetittogetherNG .@Healthcommng .@Notagaincampaig
It’s best to start talking with #children about sexuality early. You may ask, “How early?” For young children, you can start by teaching them the names of their body parts or asking if they know why girls and boys look different #FPFriday
When we talk to children about sex, it’s important to keep our conversation age appropriate #FPFriday

After 70 years of imperial/neoliberal indoctrination the web of lies is so obviously absurde (9/11, Skripal, WH = ISIS, etc.), that it is dissoluting. The empathetic humanity connects, closes ranks and sends their eternal psychopathic rulers and their lackeys into nowhere land.
The "evil empire" is a lifelong three year old child. I certainly loved my children at that age too, however only because they created not only a surreal mess, but also made steady progress.

A great documentary about psychopathy and society:
The elite invented "democracy" to protect them from the empathetic people. The media are their means for misleading the people sedated by "democracy". This is definitely a bad thing since the people have become educated and the elite almost totally insane.
