Five comments on the situation but first a moment of silence to all the brave Palestinians who lost their lives and properties under the onslaught of the zionist criminal genocide.
Our hearts are crushed. Our souls are shattered. Our actions are helpless. But our pride in your resistance is unshakable. And our dream of Palestine rising shall be realized.
Now on to my five points:
1- The MOST IMPORTANT REVEALING LESSON: zios never want to leave one inch of Palestine (we now have prove-positive)
These depressing events reveal a lesson that is not a military one, it’s what nutnyahoo said in hebrew just the other day.
Regardless to the argument, the point, or the case of the zionists or their (very last few remaining) friends in the US and Australia, our answer must always be IT’S THE OCCUPATION, STUPID!
When they talk about the three teens that were abducted and killed. Regardless to their ages, whether they were settlers, whether they were soldiers, etc. etc. All of this does not matter. Engaging in any of these points misses the mark and dilutes our argument. Our answer is IT’S THE OCCUPATION, STUPID! If there were no occupation, this would not happen. Address the root cause, not the symptoms.
When nutnyahoo or others try to convince the western powers that their attack on Gaza is justified and provoked, and would they allow Paris, London, Moscow, Berlin, DC be under rocket fire. Again, engaging in any of these points misses the mark and dilutes our argument. Our answer is IT’S THE OCCUPATION, STUPID! If there were no occupation, this would not happen. Paris, London, Moscow, Berlin, DC are not occupying Palestine. Address the root cause, not the symptoms.
3- Hamas made great progress in its rockets
While the huge qualitative and quantitative advantages of the zionist military against Hamas are a given (for now), we all stand proud of what Hamas has achieved in missile weaponry. They have done under occupation much better than any other Arab country has achieved. They did not let occupation stop them from improvising and constantly improving the rockets without having the scientists, the labs, the space, the billions from the US to do the required research and testing to improve our rockets. What an achievement. With such rudimentary rockets and no guidance systems and radars and lasers and satellites, and drones, Hamas forced the zionist entity and the colonialists to run in the streets, to be fearful, and to learn what being scared means.
So yes the zionists interception and preparedness resulted in very little injuries and damage, and no death. But the zionists know that we can disrupt their lives and we can ruin their economy. We can force them to see us. We are here. And we are not going anywhere.
4- Arab dictators and rulers, count your days
All events have consequences. All actions and inactions have consequences. These awful and distressful photos of dead Palestinians are moving the Arab world. Maybe it’s not visible now but us Arabs we are a patient breed and the time will come (soon) where there will be changes in Jordan, Saudi, Kuwait, Emirates, other. Just look at who controls huge chunks of Syria and Iraq, and they are targeting Jordan next. These current events in Gaza will accelerate the toppling of the traitor king.
5- Youths of the world are learning more and taking the Palestinian side, the just side
What is happening now with the zionist genocide and crimes against humanity in Gaza is in fact moving the world’s youth. These youths are immune to the zionist blackmail and their shameful use of the Holocaust for political and ideological reasons with the goal of stealing Palestine. Scanning the Internet on the topic of Palestine, one can clearly see a fundamental and radical shift towards Palestine, to our cause.
The arc of history always bends towards justice, and our cause is just.

Thank you Annie for posting these heart warming pictures. It is good to know that people do care for the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, due to media coverage, you do not know if there are other Americans like us, who are disgusted by Israel and its brutality against unarmed people. It is when I see pictures like this, I know at least the rest of the world know that Israelis are war criminals, and that their hasbara and false propaganda is not working in other parts of the world. A picture tells a thousand words, and we have seen it all.
I saw a poster saying “YOU DON’T NEED TO BE A MUSLIM TO STAND UP FOR GAZA – YOU JUST NEED TO BE HUMAN”.
So true.

Thanks Annie for putting that together…very heartening to see people from as far flung as Japan protesting this…
I just watched “CBS Sunday Morning” and had to finally turn it off in disgust. Bob Schieffer wash practically gushing over Iron Dome and Israeli cell phone alerts. He let Netanyahu and Dermer get away with the hasbara without challenging it. And then a discussion panel full of shills including Jane Harman(!) Why is she still given any credibility on this issue?

Wow, I think that crowd in Stockholm was the biggest.
Also it is very telling that more people were injured at the Tel Aviv demonstrations last night than as a result of Hamas rockets.

Thanks, Annie.
I don’t know if I should be embarrassed or angry at the Arab non-showing in all these demonstrations. I heard one Gazan militant on TV saying that they didn’t need the Arabs’ arms, their fighters or their money. They just want the Arabs to stand with them in the same way the Americans, the French, The Brits, the Germans and every other country having come out in support of Israel in the shit they are doing. It’s embarrassing and hurtful that Israeli ambassadors are sitting in Amman and Cairo while the slaughter is ongoing without being expelled..
Thank you for this Annie.
