Trying Something New To Help Some GFMs That Are Close To Being Funded Reach Their Goal. Tasneem Nabil

"I’m personally a Holocaust survivor as an infant, I barely survived.

My grandparents were killed in Aushwitz and most of my extended family were killed.

I became a Zionist; this dream of the Jewish people resurrected in their historical homeland and the barbed wire of Aushwitz being replaced by the boundaries of a Jewish state with a powerful army…and then I found out that it wasn’t exactly like that, that in order to make this Jewish dream a reality we had to visit a nightmare on the local population.

There’s no way you could have ever created a Jewish state without oppressing and expelling the local population. Jewish Israeli historians have shown without a doubt that the expulsion of Palestinians was persistent, pervasive, cruel, murderous and with deliberate intent - that’s what’s called the 'Nakba' in Arabic; the 'disaster' or the 'catastrophe'.

There’s a law that you cannot deny the Holocaust, but in Israel you’re not allowed to mention the Nakba, even though it’s at the very basis of the foundation of Israel.

I visited the Occupied Territories (West Bank) during the first intifada. I cried every day for two weeks at what I saw; the brutality of the occupation, the petty harassment, the murderousness of it, the cutting down of Palestinian olive groves, the denial of water rights, the humiliations...and this went on, and now it’s much worse than it was then. It’s the longest ethnic cleansing operation in the 20th and 21st century.

I could land in Tel Aviv tomorrow and demand citizenship but my Palestinian friend in Vancouver, who was born in Jerusalem, can’t even visit! So then you have these miserable people packed into this, horrible…people call it an 'outdoor prison', which is what it is. You don’t have to support Hamas policies to stand up for Palestinian rights, that’s a complete falsity.

You think the worse thing you can say about Hamas, multiply it by a thousand times, and it still will not meet the Israeli repression and killing and dispossession of Palestinians.

And 'anybody who criticises Israel is an anti-Semite' is simply an egregious attempt to intimidate good non-Jews who are willing to stand up for what is true."

When buying yarn for craft like crochet or knitting (or anything) try to buy recycled/organic cotton or hemp, bamboo, linen, wool, alpaca, cork, ahimsa silk or recycled silk, tencel, you can also recycle your own yarn!. Do your research as well because all yarn fibres are different. Please don't buy acrylic or anything with polyester or plastic fibers

All of those children would be alive and happy had hamas not attacked Israel. That's who you should blame.

Alive and happy? But for how long? 

Will they be alive and happy just to endure the next Israeli aggression on Gaza, projected to happen just within a year, the 5th or 6th one they have endured in their lifetime, which they have spent the entirety of living under Israeli siege in an open air prison?

Israel kills children without provocation. We are able to see it because we understand Israel to be a settler colonial state that adopts a settler colonial mindset. This genocidal mindset is embodied by the infamous colonel Chivington quote "kill them all, big and small, nits make lice!"

As a settler colony, it is a moral imperative - a duty - for Israel to kill off the native population. There's a reason why maternity wards in Gaza’s hospitals were destroyed and infants in incubators have been left to rot and decay. The same reason why Israel had killed over 230 children in the West Bank since 2023 alone.

What I believe you really want to say is: these children would have been alive until Israel decides to kill them.
