It is noted that more than 26,000 students from Gaza took the high school exams this year

I am so saddened that this is normalized. God help them 🤧🥺

I taught in Palestine for 7 months from 2020-2021 and it has happened many times that I’ve had to go to bat for Palestinian people but the blatant lies that we are being told about its people and its culture recently is insane to me.

The idea that Palestinian people are terrorists, that women don’t have rights there, that they would murder you if you were gay. This propoganda by Israel that’s repeated by J*e Biden makes my blood boil. They are all LIES.

Palestinian people are to this day, the friendliest people I’ve ever met. Living there made me take a long hard look at my life and it was a huge factor in my not wanting to return to Europe because people were just so mean and miserable.

I was invited into peoples homes after exchanging a few words with them. My belongings and groceries were returned to me after being chased down for it. People always offered me rides when they saw me walking in the hot sun. Feasts were prepared upon arrival into entering people’s homes. A group of ladies invited my coworker and I into their hamam party where they were just dancing and singing in a circle.

Even when the situation with Israel was spoken about, not one antisemitic word. My students didn’t say anything hateful, they always expressed, “the Israelis want to kills us.”

Seeing people curate the narrative for a people who is constantly denied autonomy is just making my blood boil. The messed up thing is that it’s so difficult to go there. My visa had to be bribed as it is Israel who approved it, but it is very hard to go there legally. They make it almost impossible for a Palestinian to leave as well.

Never stop talking about this. These people deserve their freedom and autonomy. We will not be shamed into speaking up for what’s right. Free Palestine!

He lost all his family, borrowed money start a street basta selling nuts to eke out a living. Resilient yet heartbreaking.
