The first sources of the history of the people and regions that have been colonized, exploited, invaded, and stolen are oral and verbal sources. These are the primary sources; oral information passed from person to person explains what information has survived, as colonial records often silence or override them.

#StopKillingAndDisapearingPoetsAndJournalist: journalist – al-Mashhad correspondent Mohammed Balousha – was shot in both of his legs shortly after Abu Daqqa was fatally injured. He had to wait hours before rescuers were able to reach and evacuate him. He is reportedly in stable condition.
Weeks earlier, Balousha documented the grim discovery of the decomposing bodies of several babies who died in their hospital beds, still attached to medical devices, 17 days after Israel forced the evacuation of al-Nasr pediatric hospital at gunpoint.

#NeverAboutHamas: The only reason IOF bothered to check if the abductees might be people whose lives they care about was reportedly because one of them had a “western appearance”, i.e. looked white.
Israel supporters always say “Hamas just needs to surrender and everything will be fine.”
Surrender? You mean wave a white flag?

#ShireenAbuAklehMoment: Israel ordered Refaat Alareer’s assassination after derided Israeli claim of babies burned in an oven as hoax.
He was right, but died for it.
Refaat was a Palestinian poet and professor. He not only taught his students Palestinian poetry. He also taught them Hebrew poetry.
Unlike Israel’s educational system, which promotes a triumphalist ideological indoctrination

#TerroristNation: Khan said that the Jewish state’s army statement was unapologetic.
“This is simply a tactic that they are going to use. They don’t care about the criticism from the international community or the human rights groups,” he added.

#TranslatingGaza: Kissinger began manipulating policy toward Chile’s as early as 1970. no reason for the United States to “stand by and let Chile go communist merely due to the stupidity of its own people.” Track II included kidnapping and assassination… included planting a car bomb in downtown Washington DC.

#ShireenAbuAklehMoment: Just as it has claimed that Hamas was hiding in Gaza hospitals, near schools, and in ambulance convoys in order to justify its bombing and killing of civilians, Israel has peddled the same predictable excuses for these targeted assassinations of journalists. In a chilling November 2 article that effectively doubles as a hit list, the Jerusalem Post spotlighted several independent Palestinian journalists who had been reporting from Gaza and smeared them as part of “Hamas’s propaganda team”.
#ShireenAbuAklehMoment: As of November 28:
• 57 journalists and media workers were confirmed dead: 50 Palestinian, 4 Israeli, and 3 Lebanese.
• 11 journalists were reported injured.
• 3 journalists were reported missing.
• 19 journalists were reported arrested.
• Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of family members.
CPJ is also investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other journalists…

#TerroristNations Why stop at concentration camp carpet bombardment and chemical warfare when bio warfare can also aide ethnic cleansing?
