The Israeli army took over my home, used it like a hotel, then set it on fire

Nasser Faratawi holds up a blackened garland of silicone flowers and a singed Ramadan lantern as he picks through the charred ruins of what was his popular party shop in Tulkarm in the north of the occupied West Bank.

Upstairs, on the three floors of what were his family's luxury apartments, graffiti is scrawled on the walls – including drawings of penises in a living room and his daughter's bedroom.

Expensive furniture has been broken or thrown out of the window, fancy decorations ripped out, every page of a Quran torn, and it stinks of rotten leftover food.

"They came and destroyed me," Nasser tells me. "It's all seen as destroyable because I live in this city - because I am Palestinian."

1. Israelis are fucking out of control, just completely demented by hate

[AloeVera]

4. The hate was always there, Oct. 7th gave Israelis "permission" to release it.

Like Charlie Kirk gave MAGA the "moral" permission to come after the left.

A country cannot brutally and illegally occupy an entire people for nearly 6 decades without learning to hate and dehumanize. Its people could not stand the dissonance and moral unease otherwise. The cost, though, is moral decay of their own society. It's been happening long before Oct. 7th.

Genocide and ethnic cleansing was the only way this could have ever ended.

We were always told that Palestinians wanted to drive Israelis into the sea, erase Israel's existence, etc. Not many realized that was in fact pure projection. Those of us that did were ridiculed and smeared. There is a whole system and power structure that worked very hard to make sure that the gaslighting and projection worked and people remained oblivious.

I don't know anymore what else can be said. Israel is now erasing even the memory of Gaza and will do the same to the West Bank. No more Palestinians..

5. Truth. It's all so tragic.

3. Much, much too late.

If only the protesters and the students had been listened to instead of demonized and silenced. So many if only's...

Israel is now erasing even the memory of Gaza and Rubio is in Israel to discuss the annexation of the West Bank.

Evil. This is Israel's legacy.
