This is exactly what we’re trying to say.
You can’t make your home at the expense of someone else’s.
You can’t make a life from someone else’s.
You can’t make life from another person’s loss.
And you especially can’t take someone else’s safe haven and decide it’s yours.
Palestine has every right to fight back after being kicked for 75 years and 4 months. They have every right to take back what belongs to them and expel anyone who doesn’t want to give back what belongs to the Palestinians.
When I try modernizing Palestinian cuisine, I am not trying to make it acceptable to people. When I think of a dish, I don’t ask myself: “Is this gonna please the Europeans or the Americans or the Chinese?” I try to create a dish that is respectful of the flavors, and that has an identity that is very much mine. For instance, I love working with freekeh and I know you hate it. Still in my set menu, I try to force down your throat some freekeh. You know I could make an effort when ì know you’re coming over for dinner and not cook it but if I happen to have a vegetable that works well with it, well I still cook freekeh, whether you like it or not! Don’t forget, cooking is a magic act, a sacred moment. This is why I am in the kitchen. I was recently speaking to Paris-based Japanese writer, Ryoko Sekiguchi, and we came up with this concept of “cooking of light,” “la cuisine de lumière”) [”hikari no ryôri”] and she linked it to another concept that she came up with Japanese chef Shûichirô Kobori, namely “cooking of prayer,” “la cuisine de prière” [”inori no ryôri”]. Cooking is a sacred moment of intimacy and of creation, which requires respect. We have such particularities in our kitchen, that we should be putting forward and that we should be protecting from all those coexistence and peace initiatives, which are not really about peace and coexistence. Peace is about justice. When sometimes people ask me: “Would you work with an Israeli chef?” I say: “My conditions if an Israeli chef wants to work with me are that she or he has to accept a Palestinian state with the 1967 borders, accept Jerusalem as the capital of two states, accept the right of return of Palestinians refugees. If there is a resolution that is just to our rights as Palestinians of course I will work with an Israeli chef.” But as long as there is no justice and equality there’s no way I could work with an Israeli chef.
I saw this on X i have no words.
"What Israel is doing right now has nothing to do with antisemitism.
What Israel is doing right now is a Genocide.
What Israel has been doing for the past 75 years is Apartheid, is Occupation.
There is no need for any one of us to serve in the IDF.
The IDF should not exist.
The state of Israel should not exist."

I've checked this one before although I didn't post about it because I wasn't 100% certain because I didn't have the time to take a look at it. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Yes this fundraiser is legit:
It seems like they're very low on funds %-wise so it would be great to see some support go to them.
Yesterday marked the 100th day of genocide. Please, do not get used to this. Our people, killed, bombed, kidnapped, stripped, executed and starved is not normal. Our kids in pieces, their body parts collected in bags is not normal.
Israel has killed 23,700 human. More than 10,300 child. We'd need 177 school bus to carry the Palestinian children killed by Israel in gaza. 10,022 fatherless child. 8,352 motherless child. The wounded have their wounds rot and die waiting in front of the crossing. Maggots seen inside alive people's wounds. 5,500 pregnant woman will give birth in the upcoming weeks. 100 Days of Genocide. 100 Days of the world watching silently.
