There is a lot more to the story about what really happened on Oct. 7th. Israeli newspapers report incidences of "friendly fire"; their own helicopters and tanks had a hand in killing scores of Israelis. Why aren't we learning about this in western media? https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-palestine-war-media-ignoring-evidence-actions-7-october

Since October 7th, these are the that has killed.

In many cases, they targeted and bombed their families, too.

How does this happen, you ask?

Some of them live in . Israel knows where they live AND their phone numbers, too.

Think about it.

"Men want to fly, but fear the void." They can't live without certainties. That's why they change the flight for cages. Cages are where certainties live. "

Defiance

Poetry will feed my heart, like blood
It is salt to the bread
And liquid to the eye
I will write it with nails,
eye sockets and daggers,
I will recite it in my prison cell –
in the bathroom –
in the stable –
Under the whip –
Under the chains –
In spite of my handcuffs
I have a million nightingales
On the branches of my heart
Singing the song of liberation.

EgyptianAphorist,

@rabbijill I can’t anymore… 1000 Israeli lives are not equal to 17000 Palestinian lives. Damn Hamas for opening the gates of hell & giving the criminal Israeli government the pass to do what they wanted to do all along. This is unholy. Hamas are depraved terrorists, what is the excuse of Netanyahu & IDF?

EgyptianAphorist,

@christina @rabbijill He was a sensitive soul & did valuable work. Please, share: https://lithub.com/poet-and-scholar-refaat-alareer-has-been-killed-by-an-israeli-airstrike/
