The Painting Held By The Protesters Is "Guernica" By Pablo Picasso. It Was Painted In Response To An

The painting held by the protesters is "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso. It was painted in response to an event during the Spanish Civil War in 1937 where the small Basque town was bombed extensively by Nazi German and Italian forces. 1,645 people were killed and a further 889 were injured. The town was defenseless and held no military gain or strategic value to either opposing forces.

A thousand died defenceless at the hands of an unnecessary military raid. This is a war crime condemned by thousands across the globe.

Tens of thousands more are dying today in Palestine due to Israeli "defences", yet the Western world refuses to condemn them for the same war crime, and dozens more at a much more severe rate.

Guernica communicates the same message today as an anti-war painting, however it is not a conflict if one side has the weapons and the other has their prayers.

Israel is not and never will be the victim.

Israel is an Apartheid Terrorist state.

A four day ceasefire will never be enough if Palestinians are given freedom only to be carpet bombed and buried again. They are grouping the masses to wipe them out more efficiently.

It does not stop at a ceasefire. Palestine must be liberated.

Israel admitting to shooting and killing 3 hostages in Gaza, doesn't suprise me. But what gets me is they're pretending it was an accident.

Apparently they "mistook them for terrorists."

Which... Given Israeli civilian hostages are being very vocal about their criticism of the Israeli government.

A government that considers that anyone who stands against them is a terrorist so... Yeah.

I don't buy for a second that this is an accident, especially when they've admitted to killing their own civilian hostages multiple times prior.

It's even got a name, it's called the Hannibal protocol.

This wasn't an accident, they just know the world is paying close attention to them. So they're doing what they can to cover it up.

The scenes I've been seeing of innocent civilians stripped off their clothes and lined up in front of mass graves for execution... I read about these in history books in school. I read fiction based on my country's liberation war depicting exactly the scenes that I'm witnessing IN REAL LIFE happening in front of the whole world right now... and nobody even gives a damn

it’s actually so much worse. so this one press editor made a public post calling for the cancellation of refaat. because he made a joke about the fake rumours of baked babies (she framed it as if he was making fun of real incidents and even when it was pointed out that the story was fake and refaat was being sarcastic in order to mock the story, she still didn’t take it down). refaat was known to make jokes and meme and make fun of idiots. so it wasn’t out of the ordinary for him to mock fabricated lies that discredited and dehumanised his people and their resistance. but this woman. and many other writers and reporters in western media have continuously tried to smear his reputation.

and that kind of put a target on his back because a lot of crazy zionists and idf soldiers follow these people (especially bari). and sent refaat death threats.

and today… his sister’s home i believe, was deliberately struck, killing refaat and his family including his children. it was a targeted attack.

and yeah also because he was an outspoken poet and academic. they killed him to silence his voice that was reaching so many people across the world.

and now many pro zionists are celebrating refaat’s martyrdom and spreading the same fake story about the “baked baby” even though the truth is that the baked baby story is from the deir yassin massacre where israeli soldiers baked a palestinian baby in the oven and made the father watch.

i am so angry. i am so heartbroken.

these are the first and last pages of his book, light in gaza:

please read his words. share his story. and the message he’s left the world with. don’t let his murder be in vain.

i feel so heartbroken "how many palestinians are enough?" apparently 16.000+ Palestinians aren't enough for our world. 75 years of colonization isn't enough for our world. our humanity bleeds dry before our eyes, every myth of democracy and international law and accountability and punishment is dispelled. it isn't real if it doesn't serve the interests of the west.

israel is actively targeting prolific writers, academics and journalists because they KNOW their words have an effect on people. on us. if Israel wasn't so threatened by the power of us speaking up they wouldn't have purposely killed the Palestinians who share IDF's crimes with us. please don't stop talking about Palestine, please it's the least we can do. the very fucking least
