So I got to college today. Rocks are scattered all around campus because of the clashes yesterday with Israeli soldiers.

Israeli border police arrested Italian artists who painted this mural of Ahed Tamimi on the apartheid wall in Bethlehm. Ahed is scheduled to be released from Israeli prison tomorrow after slapping an Israeli soldier while they were trying to shoot Palestinian youth in her village of Nabi Saleh. That same day, they had shot her younger cousin in the head.

israeli soldiers attempt to detain a 3-year-old palestinian child in hebron, palestine (march 27, 2018)

nothing i say will be new, and you know exactly what i want to say anyway. as palestinians, we spend way too much of our time and energy begging for people to recognise our humanity. at this point im so fucking tired. is there anything else to say that hasn’t been said already?

how do you justify this? was he really a threat to the state? these are rhetorical questions but had i asked seriously, i know that at best i’ll get those who want to separate the actions of the state from the state itself, too fucking oblivious to realise that the state is maintained through these very acts of aggression.

im just baffled that zionists had the fucking nerve to protest gun violence here in the states while this is happening in palestine. apparently, it is only considered harmful when the child is white. otherwise, these non-white kids can live with the trauma of being surrounded by violence so long as that is shuttered away from the comforts of white suburbia.
