We didn't need Epstein's leaks to know the truth: this world is run by powerful networks that answer to no one. Some feed on the suffering of entire nations, then preach about morality and human rights. Epstein wasn't an exception he was just a glimpse into a system that protects itself, treating victims as nothing more than details to be buried with money, influence, silence, or fear.
The problem isn't only Epstein himself-it's the system that shielded him for years, the deal that watered down his crimes, and the web of influence that kept him untouchable. This is how power truly works: the law bends for the strong, while justice falls only on the powerless.
In Epstein's case, it was called "inappropriate behavior," in Palestine, it is called "collateral damage." Language here is not innocent; it is a tool of power, used to strip the victim of their humanity, absolve the perpetrator, and make killing digestible for the media
Children went to sleep and never woke up… their schoolbags and notebooks are all that remain to speak for them.
Today, 12 martyrs from two entire families were taken, most of them children, whose only “crime” was dreaming of life 💔
Toys, a schoolbag, books, and notebooks… children lost their lives while sleeping in their homes.
The occupation killed two families, a total of 12 people today.
My dearest friends,❤️
Do you remember when I used to tell you that I needed a tent for my family?Those words were never a complaint, but a call of hope in a time when everything seemed so tight.Today, I can say that this hope has found its way to me thanks to you. I was able to buy a tent for my family, and behind this tent are your hearts, your sincere support,and your humanity that never wavered for a moment. #Palestine#FreeGaza#FreePalestine#Genocide#StopGenocide#CeasefireNow#MutualAid
Today in Labor History December 20, 1971: Doctors Without Borders was founded by French doctors and journalists in the wake of the Biafra succession. Their first mission was in support of victims of the 1972 Nicaraguan earthquake. In the mid to late 1970s, they provided aid to refugees from the Khmer Rouge. They spent 9 years (1976-1984) in Lebanon during their civil war. They’ve spent decades in Africa helping in the battles against AIDS and Ebola. Their volunteers have been attacked by soldiers, kidnapped and bombed. In 1999 they won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Can you imagine that Gaza was self sufficient before the war?We used to grow and export fruits and vegetables.Gaza exported fruits to Europe in significant quantities,and our prices were the cheapest among all Arab countries.For example
a kilo of apples,which was the most expensive fruit for us cost only 3 shekels(less than a dollar
Today,however,prices are astronomical,higher than in any country in the world and everything has become almost impossible to afford because of the war and occupation
And we also had self sufficiency in dairy products, all made by the hands of Gazans, especially in the Shuja'iyya factories in Gaza. Honestly, before the war, we were living off the blessings of our own land.
For those who don't know, the people of Gaza now live in only 36% of the area of the Gaza Strip "within the yellow line", meaning 62,000 people per square kilometer!!
We are cold. We are hungry.
Can you imagine how freezing it is in winter inside a tent?
We live in a worn out fabric tent, suffering through the cold and the pain of hunger.
But who cares? Not even the donation link gets shared, 💔‼️
Winter is coming, and our torn tent can’t protect us from the cold or the rain.
I beg you… don’t let the cold steal their lives in silence.
🕯️ Save my children from the deadly cold
My little girl, Kinda, still smiles despite our difficulties. She needs healthy food, warm winter clothes, toys, and a school bag. You can bring joy to her life—please consider donating to help Kinda. Every contribution makes a difference. ❤️
A decision was made a short while ago to launch a military strike on Gaza, and suddenly the sky turned upside down, as if we were in the middle of a war, and the planes were constantly flying.
Imagine waiting to be bombed, helpless. That's why I'm fighting here so we can evacuate my family out of Gaza.
Rania 💔 I'm a displaced mom from 🥺, Gaza.
It's been 2 year no home,💔 no warm clothes for me or my kids.
Winter is here and we have nothing to keep us warm🧥 200$Hope remains for kinda🙏
Please small donation means life to my children 🙏💔
“No one – especially those who have already sacrificed so much for this country – should ever be assaulted, detained or thrown in solitary confinement for peacefully protesting government overreach”.
It's a problem now, and we should fix it...
But we can't fix it as long as we keep pretending trump is the only problem.
A group of veterans were arrested for protesting in Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand’s (D-N.Y.) office in the Capitol.
Members of the About Face veterans group came to Gillibrand’s office “to demand to meet, call for an end to the siege on Gaza and for a #CeasefireNow.”
Everybody held their nose for Biden and the neoliberals in 2020 because Trump was so bad 16-20, but Biden and the neoliberls just saw Trump's first term as an excuse to do the same shit in ways they agreed with.
And that's the main reason trump is president again. Neoliberals are never enough, because their inaction (not to mention civil right violations) just depress turnout. When republicans do it, it increases their turnout in the next election.
Electing neoliberals is like putting a bandaid on your pinkie toe after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The best possible benefit is it makes people stop worrying for a little bit. But that's not a good thing when they stop any treatment that might actually work because they think the toe bandaid will be enough.
I am once again coming to you to beg for your support. Is this what the rest of my life is going to be? Fleeing from neighbourhood to neighbourhood, begging for our survival?
We need to move all my family (8 people), furniture and luggage.
I hope you won’t be even more tired of all this than I am. I hope your support will be strong, and I hope you won’t forget me and my family. We need you. 😔🇵🇸
Breaking: Eleven killed after Israel hits bus in Gaza, Hamas-run civil defence says
The Israeli military said it had fired at a "suspicious vehicle" It said the vehicle had crossed...

What's your take on this?
I was talking with my mother the other day about my thread on olives. The conversation drifted specifically toward the olive harvest season, that’s the object of a theft by settlers, as another way to erase Palestinians and to destroy our existence and our cultural heritage.
(I’m going to reuse some old photos, I’m not really able to take new photos currently, my leg is burned).
Falekoff Hebrew channel:
Unfortunately, after the recent clashes between Hamas and the militia in Gaza, #Hamas was able to seize modern vehicles that Israel had equipped this militia with during the war, in addition to other weapons and logistical equipment.
The Israeli army is set to begin its operation to destroy Hamas' tunnel network after the hostages return is finalized.
I'm sure both US, NATO and Arab neighbors will "condemn" those acts but don't do jack shit to stop Israel breaking the ceasefire agreement like they have been doing daily in Lebanon.
