alkhatib··on The Missed Opportunity of NAZA
“But this film does not want to be a mirror. It wants to tell us that there is something uniquely malevolent about Israeli society.”

This article writer seems to desperately want to avoid admitting the truth.

There is in fact something uniquely malevolent about israeli society

A society founded on ethnic cleansing that has continuously demonstrated its willingness to inflict pain and suffering on the Palestinians is malevolent.

Today we have access to far more information in the form of books, documentaries and different sources than anytime in the past.

It is time to educate yourself if you find that lacking.

I would not want to be the one siding with a Genocide in 2023 for lack of education.

alkhatib··on Born in a bomb shelter
The photos and videos of 3500 dead Palestinian children speak for themselves.

Anyone who is interested in the truth and “has spent even a modicum of time” would condemn the killing of innocent children and demand an end to their continued killing and suffering.

Over the past month Israel killed more than 9000 Palestinian Civilians

3500 of them Palestinian children
