🧵"It didn't start on October 7th."

Not only did it not start on October 7th, but it also didn't start in 1967 nor in 1948. In reality, it's been more than 140 years of Zionists displacing Palestinians. One displacement after another.

JNF Names Committee, December 2, 1927:
The members of the committee discussed the appropriate name for the religious Jewish settlement that would later be called Kfar Hasidim, a settlement that was established on the lands of the nearby Arab-Palestinian village of Khirbat al-Majdal.

Akiva Ettinger, Director of the Lands Department at JNF at the time, opposed a proposal to use the word "Migdal" in the name of the settlement, and explained:
"The Arab village of Majdal is located, for now, outside of the JNF's lands. There is no doubt that a Jewish settlement will be established there, in place of the Arab village of Majdal, and we will need the name 'Migdal' for that settlement."

A few years later the JNF indeed managed to purchase the village area from the recent Zionist landowners. Those landowners themselves bought the lands from the Lebanese Sursock family, which took over vast territory in Palestine, including Majdal's lands, thanks to the 1858 Ottoman land reforms.

Thus, Khirbet al-Majdal was erased from the map and its residents were displaced.

The name of the place was changed to "Giv'at Shamir." The settlers of Kibbutz Ramat Yohanan first settled in the homes of Majdal's Palestinians, before establishing their permanent kibbutz nearby. Today the national center of the Scouts movement is located in Giv'at Shamir.

Meanwhile, al-Majdal's fellahin, together with their neighbors from the village of Kafr Ata, who shared a similar fate, stayed nearby and established the villages Khirbet Sa'sa', Khirbet al-Kasair, and Ras Ali. The former two were depopulated and destroyed two decades later, while the latter village managed to survive the 1948 Nakba but was only recognized by the State of Israel in 1979, and like all Palestinian villages and towns in Israel, faces systematic discrimination to this day.

The dispossession of Palestinians did not start in 1948, but with the beginning of Zionist settlement in Israel. The dispossession and depopulation were not coincidental but an essential part of the Zionist plan.Image Map of the area from the PEF map, circa 1880. Image

🧵Tamra, The Galilee: Three weeks ago, Ahmad Diab, a local young accountant who just recently finished his studies and got engaged, was shot and injured by members of a local crime family, who wanted to send a message to Ahmad's father, who owns a restaurant and refused to pay protection money. No arrests were made.

Two days ago Diab died from his wounds. After the funeral, the town's youth started marching in protest of the rampant crime. Like many of the crime families within the Palestinian society in Israel, this family is protected by the Israeli law enforcement authorities. The police brutally repressed the protest using tear gas and stun grenades.

Israeli authorities openly let (and probably encourage) criminals operate within the Palestinian society in Israel. Many of the families involved are of collaborators. They receive the police and Shin Bet's protection, and can literally get away with murder. Or 100 murders. Much of the illegal weapons, BTW, are military issue
The goal, as always with the Zionists, is to disintegrate the Palestinian society in Israel. Destroy it from within. Police even brought a helicopter.

So now the State of Israel is officially pushing the narrative that "there are no uninvolved" in Gaza.
How is this not considered a confession of genocidal intent?! Image Official Israel also uses the Abdallah al-Jamal screenshot from al-Jazeera's website, even though they know that he wasn't an AJ reporter but merely had an opinion piece published 5 years ago.

🧵(long thread)

"I think the most important thing is to change the Zionist narrative a bit, which says that this place was a wasteland. There was never a wasteland here. People lived all over (what is now) the State of Israel, starting from Tel Aviv University which sits on Sheikh Muwannis, and all the way to this entire area ("Gaza Envelope". You have to understand it was all mud huts, it was very easy for them to drive a bulldozer, raze the huts, and then there's nothing left."

I’d been meaning to post this thread for several months now but never got around to it. I think that now, after Haim Perry, the person quoted above, died in al-Qassam's captivity in Gaza, most likely in an Israeli air raid, it is about time I do it.
-------------------------------------------
Last January a photo circulated on social media showing an Israeli soldier in Gaza mockingly pretend to be reading “Atlas of Palestine,” a comprehensive book on historical Palestine and the Nakba written by Palestinian researcher Salman Abu-Sitta.
I wanted to write a tweet about the photo and was curious to see where Abu-Sitta was born.

I found out that he, like most of the Gaza Strip population, is a refugee, from a family uprooted by Zionist forces in 1948. Abu-Sitta was born in the village of Khirbet al-Ma'in/Ma'in Abu Sitta, between modern day kibbutzim Nirim and Nir Oz, in the so-called “Gaza Envelope.” He and his family were forced to flee across the new border, into what is now called “The Gaza Strip”. The only building that survived the destruction of the village was the local school, built by Salman's father in 1920.

I was then surprised to learn that one of the Israeli hostages, Haim Perry, was actually running a gallery in the old village school, now called “The White House” by Jewish residents of the area. Abandoned and neglected for many years, the building was cleaned and renovated in 1999 by Perry and some of his fellow “kibbutzniks.”

To my even greater surprise, I learned that 5 years ago Perry hosted an exhibition by Eitan Bronstein Aparicio, the founder of Zochrot organization - an institution dedicated to educating and raising awareness about the Nakba and the Palestinian Right of Return. The exhibition commemorated the uprooted village of al-Mai'n, and sparked heated debates among locals. Perry had agreed to host the exhibition despite objections from some kibbutz members and from the head of the regional council.

The leftist-oriented, now defunct media outlet Social TV published a video report about the exhibition back in 2019. I found this piece fascinating to watch especially now, after the shit majorly hit the fan.

A couple of weeks later, I went to see “The White House,” al-Ma'in Abu Sitta's old school. The whole area was still almost desolate, except for A LOT of Israeli army forces. The gallery was closed and seemed deserted. I took some pictures of the house and the statues outside, and tried to picture a different future, while the ground below me kept shaking from Israeli artillery shells being fired into Gaza to murder those who were driven out from where I stood. And their children, and grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

One of the people who can be seen in the Social TV video is Oded Lifshitz, who is still in captivity in Gaza, presumably, and hopefully still alive. His wife Yocheved Lifshitz was a hostage as well and was freed by al-Qassam Brigades in October. Oded is a political activist, who, already in the early 70's, protested against the expulsion of Palestinians & Sinai Bedouins, and the plans to build Israeli settlements in the Sinai & Gaza Strip.

I hope that one day, soon, we'll see the Abu-Sitta family able to return to its lands in al-Ma'in Abu Sitta, and Oded return to his family's embrace alive. It is possible; I truly believe it is.

Check out the thread below for more info and photos. "What I’ve seen here today was very moving and even painful. In spite of living here more then 35 years I feel the need and the hope to return to the land and revive it with the past emotions, to revive it with the culture and customs of yours, the residents.

A land is not a brick. A land is value, is roots, is a love to a place. There’s no room for deportation. My heart is with you.

Efrat Katz, Nir Oz."
-------------------------------------------------------
As part of the exhibition, visitors were invited to write a letter to the Palestinian refugees of Abu Sitta. Efrat Katz, a (then) 65 year old woman from nearby kibbutz Nir Oz, wrote this moving letter.
Dr. Salman Abu Sitta, who later wrote about the exhibition () called Efrat's letter "a tiny ray of hope".

On the morning of October 7th, Efrat, her partner Gadi Mozes, her daughter and her two granddaughters were all abducted to Gaza from their home in Nir Oz. As they were on a tractor on their way to captivity, an Israeli helicopter opened fire on them and murdered Efrat. Her daughter and granddaughters were thankfully returned as part of the large hostage deal. Gadi Mozes is still held hostage. Three months ago he turned 80 while in captivity.

"Gaza should be annihilated, including all its inhabitants. Men, women and children"
This genocidal nutjob is Dan Ezra, a so-called right-wing "activist" who spent a lot of 2023 organizing demonstrations in support of Netanyahu's government, and also "counter-protests" against the anti-Netanyahu crowd. That included blocking roads near Kibbutzim, who Netanyahu supporters see as sort of "places where leftists live", allowing only people who "look right-wing" to pass through and attacking people they thought looked like "leftists" (including many elderly people).
These staged protests, mostly organized by hardcore "Bibists" and Likud members, were obviously meant to intimidate people from protesting against the government.

"Blood and limbs and corpses were strewn everywhere, mixed with the flour and spilled oil. Even for the Red Cross team on the site, fresh from the agonies of the Second World War, this was too much. The team described it as "unbelievable horror.""

No, this is not a description from one of the recent atrocities in Gaza, but rather from the original "flour massacre", 75 years ago:
In January 1949 Israel's so-called "War of Independence" was almost over. The artificially-made "Gaza Strip" was already full of refugees expelled from the territory that became known as "Israel".
In the first days of the year, just before the armistice talks between Israel and Egypt began, the newly-founded Israeli air force launched a series of aerial strikes in the towns of Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis and Rafah. Some of those strikes resulted in the first aerial massacres perpetrated by Zionist forces. The worst one was at the main square in Deir al-Balah, where the Israelis bombed a food distribution center, during peak time, killing more than 100 and up to 250 Palestinian refugees who were queuing for their food rations. These people who were just recently expelled from their homes, were now being murdered by the same people who uprooted them.
The excerpt attached here was taken from a book by Palestinian historian Salman Abu-Sitta, back then an infant refugee, who lost his uncle in the massacre.

For some reason, even though this is one of the largest massacres in the 1947-49 war, it is never talked about, and it's not easy to find info about it. If anyone has good sources of information regarding the incident(s), please share. Also, if you have access to the book about the massacre that came out a few years ago, "نزيف دير البلح - صيف ١٩٤٨", please let me know!Image And here's an excerpt from an article by @AlnaouqA Image

Mujahid Nimr al-Faroukh, 31 years old from the city of Sa'ir near Hebron, used to work as a construction worker in Sderot. On October 7 he was besieged in Sderot along with the residents of the city. On October 8 at 13:25 he spoke to his family on the phone, said he was at the central station in Sderot, trying to get out of the city, and fearfully told of a large presence of residents and police around him.Image 2/12
The call was disconnected, and five minutes later the family called Mujahid again, but this time they were answered by an Israeli, who told them that their son had been killed.
From that moment on, communication with Mujahid was severed. The family turned to the Red Cross, B'Tselem organization and other human rights organizations, but due to the state of war and the chaos that prevailed in those days in Israel, they were unable to receive assistance from anyone.

*Genocidal incitement for kids*
In recent days, schools around the country held Purim celebrations. Some of the more wealthy ones brought well-known artists to entertain the school kids. A highschool in the town of Be'er Ya'akov brought local hiphop duo Ness & Stilla to come play their genocidal anthem "Harbu Darbu". Stilla even included the extra-genocidal, extra racist shelved verse.
Reading the comments on TikTok, I realized there were also other schools who featured the duo in their Purim celebrations. Harbu Darbu is everywhere this Purim. Some kids dress up as Ness & Stilla and perform a karaoke version of the hit:

I'm sure many of you heard of genocidal hit song Harbu Darbu (20M views on YT), but I haven't seen almost any mention of another contemporary Israeli hit song, not as popular as HD ("only" 1.8M views), but the lyrics are actually worse: "Shager" (launch) The word "Shager" (launch), comes from the phrase "2, 3, Shager". It refers to the countdown before a drone's missile launch. Phrase was popularized in Israel after a video released by IDF spokesperson went viral. There have been many cultural references to the phrase ever since.
