THREAD: It's Ramadan. Palestinians should be able to celebrate and spend time with family in safety, but instead, Palestinians live in constant fear of Israel's brutal daily violence.
6 children lost their mother today. Israeli soldiers shot and killed the woman, who is visually impaired, as she walked in her hometown near Bethlehem.

Info here: english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/…
Israeli soldiers shot and killed another Palestinian woman near Hebron. Why are Israeli soldiers invading and occupying Palestinian land in the first place?

Israel's oppression and colonialism is the root of all violence.
The violence doesn't stop there. In this video, a heavily armed Israeli cop is kneeling on a twelve-year-old child's chest. The child is one of many Palestinians forced to grow up witnessing and experiencing Israel's daily violence.
For Palestinians, nearly every aspect of life is shaped by Israel's oppression. Imagine waking up every day not knowing if it will be your last because Israeli soldiers, police, & settlers attack Palestinians without consequence. Imagine losing a loved one to this daily violence.
Israel has killed and oppressed Palestinians for over 70 years, with US funding and support.
We know the world can act swiftly when injustices occur and the world must act now to end Israel’s brutal rule over Palestinian lives and land.

What exactly is happening in Jenin? ⤵️⤵️

After the Israeli military began invading Jenin this weekend, Palestinians in the occupied city are once again under attack.
Since Saturday, Israeli soldiers invading Jenin have:
•Killed a Palestinian and injured dozens
•Set up snipers throughout the city
•Restricted who can leave and enter
•Opened fire on a refugee camp
•Announced plans to destroy homes belonging to Palestinian families
While alarming, violent Israeli attacks in Jenin are not unusual.

Israel has a history of using collective punishment against Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian city.

Over the weekend, Israel escalated its violence against Palestinians, killing four Palestinians in under 24 hours as it carried out violent attacks across occupied Palestine.
Israeli soldiers shot 16-year-old Mohammad Hussein Mohammad Qassim in the abdomen as they invaded the occupied Palestinian city of Jenin.

"They just wanted to kill anything Palestinian," Zakarneh's father said at his funeral. Image
As Ghada Ibrahim Sabatien, the 47-year-old mother of 6 who was blind in one eye, walked through her town’s entrance, Israeli soldiers shot her in the leg & prevented medics from reaching her, killing her.

A recent widow, she leaves behind 6 children now without a single parent.

Ahmed Manasra has been in Israeli custody since 2015, when he was just 13 years old. For the last seven years, he’s been beaten, tortured, and interrogated by Israeli police. Palestinians are calling for his release.
In 2015, Israel accused Ahmed and his cousin, two children living under the daily violence of Israel’s military occupation, of attacking Israeli settlers illegally occupying their hometown of Jerusalem.
Israeli police shot and killed Ahmed’s cousin, 15-year-old Hassan Manasra, while Ahmed was hit by an Israeli vehicle and left bleeding from his head in the street while Israeli settlers surrounded him cursing and shouting, “Die! Die!”

THREAD: This week marks the 20th commemoration of Israel’s brutal invasion of the #Jenin refugee camp & its 39-day military siege of Bethlehem, including shelling the Church of Nativity while 200 #Palestinians were trapped inside.
On April 3, 2002, the Israeli military began its violent invasion of the Jenin refugee camp. Killing dozens of #Palestinian women, children, & the elderly. Human rights groups document that Israel purposefully targeted Palestinian civilians & vital infrastructure.
Amounting to war crimes, during Israel’s 2002 invasion of Jenin, horrific reports emerged that the Israeli military deliberately targeted Palestinian civilians, including the elderly, those with disabilities, and even Palestinians trying to seek shelter and safety.

19-month-old Palestinian baby Fatma Al-Masri died after Israel blocked her permit to leave Gaza to receive life-saving care.
Fatma was born in Gaza with a heart defect called VSD. With proper care, VSD patients usually have a normal life expectancy.
But Fatma's life was cut short by Israeli officials who prevented her from leaving Gaza, where Israel's suffocating blockade means hospitals do not have the means to give proper care to patients like Fatma.

THREAD: For journalists covering individual acts of violence in Israel, here are some important things to keep in mind:
1. Context is key.

These incidents don’t occur in a vacuum. Israel’s oppressive and violent military rule over millions of Palestinians is the main actor in these stories, and needs to be front and center in coverage.
Every aspect of Palestinian life is affected by Israel’s everyday violence. School, work, farming, travel, medical care—none of it is free from the violence of the government, military or settlers.
