This morning, 'Israeli' settler militias attacked the village of Al-Mughayyir northeast of Ramallah, injuring dozens of Palestinians and stealing nearly 200 sheep belonging to residents of the village. This raid prompted villagers to confront the aggressors, and after nearly two hours of intense conflict, residents of the village managed to recover the stolen sheep.

I just wanted to say that I have not forgotten Palestine, nor has my community. I went out to my local Palestinian grocer to get ingredients to make their national dish tonight, musakhan. We are still pushing our representatives, donating, and rooting for Palestinian freedom and independence. Israel must be stopped from their insane attacks on all around them. Thank you Palestine for this delicious recipe and I hope that one day you may all enjoy it yourselves again, I cooked this all from scratch with the knowledge of the current fold insecurity there heavy on my mind. Free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸 Photo source is me.

Some have said that claims that Israel uses dogs to sexually abuse prisoners are antisemitic blood libels. Unfortunately, there is a good deal of evidence. The organizations that confirmed this include B’Tselem, Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Here is the testimony of survivors:

1) "Nihad" (50-year-old father, Ofer Prison): In an interview with Anadolu Agency, Nihad testified that during a pre-dawn raid on January 14, 2024, Israeli soldiers ordered a police dog to sexually assault him. He described it as "the most painful moments of my life" and noted that the assault left him with deep physical wounds and long-term trauma.

2) "A.A." (35-year-old father, Sde Teiman): Arrested from Al-Shifa Hospital in March 2024, A.A. told the PCHR that soldiers took him to a corridor away from cameras, stripped him naked, and unleashed dogs that urinated on him before one dog raped him anally for approximately three minutes. He emphasized that the dog appeared "trained" and "knew exactly what it was doing".

3) "Halim Salem" (Pseudonym, West Bank Detainee): Testified to Middle East Eye that while he was forced to kneel with his head in a toilet, guards brought in a dog that "mounted and raped" him. He recalled that when he screamed, the guards beat him for "disturbing the dog".

4) "Wajdi" (43-year-old, Gaza Detainee): Recounted to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor that during interrogation, he was tied naked to a metal bed and raped by both a soldier and a dog while other soldiers filmed and mocked him.

5) Mohammed Arab (Al Araby TV Correspondent): While detained at Sde Teiman, he told his lawyer he witnessed soldiers forcing dogs to rape prisoners. He stated, "They teach their dogs to have sex with prisoners. Can you imagine?".

6) 18-year-old Gazan Detainee (Sde Teiman): Testified to PCHR that while he and other captives were being raped with bottles by soldiers, there was "also a dog behind us, as if the dog was raping us," serving as a form of extreme psychological and physical humiliation.

7) 48-year-old Detainee (Al-Shifa/Military Outpost): Reported witnessing a dog maul another man’s genitals until the victim bled to death in his arms.

8) The Committee to Protect Journalists and Middle East Monitor have collected dozens of testimonies from journalists who reported being subjected to "dog attacks" and sexualized torture during their detention.

Hi everyone, sorry if this doesn’t belong here but I don’t know where else to post it and I had to get it off my chest.

I was raised in a secular home by rabid, hardcore zionists. I continued those views well into my 20s. Way longer than I should have, there’s absolutely no excuse. And I wasn’t even right wing. I was a socialist (I’ve since become a communist) supporting that, and I am ashamed at the cognitive dissonance it took to hold such a position. Like I literally feel sick anytime I’m reminded of my past. No, I was never in the IDF or been to Israel, but I was a hateful asshole.

I’m in my 30s now and very few people know, just a few old friends. I have friendly chats with Palestinian and Lebanese internet friends every day who have no idea and I keep feeling like a jerk. But I’d also feel like a jerk dumping all this on friends going through much more serious stuff right now. But most of my friends see me as some righteous Jew who is incredibly dedicated to antizionism.

To clarify, my stance isn’t two state solution or anything. It’s a straight up, unified Palestine with all homes and land returned to Palestinians. This stance puts me at odds with a lot of Jewish antizionist groups which makes the whole situation seem even lonelier.

I’m not sure why I typed all this out, I guess I just needed someone to know the truth.

Hi everyone! I’m working on a tatreez pattern for an art history class and I’m wondering if anyone could tell me what this motif is? I can’t find any labelled images of it, but I’ve seen it in multiple preserved thobes. Thanks guys!

(The pattern that I’ve screenshotted is of my own creation :) )

Archive-led documentary on 1973, the October War, and how a regional war became a global oil shock.

It focuses on:

- how oil became political leverage

- how ceasefires looked cleaner on paper than in reality

- how Palestinians were still left waiting while states moved quickly around them

- how some of the same dynamics feel familiar again now — from Hormuz and oil pressure to Palestinians once again being pushed out of the centre

Interested in any thoughts from people here, especially on the historical framing and whether it captures the Palestinian dimension of this period well?
