Thank you so much for doing the work that you do, Jasper. (And thank you to your incredible mom for her activism!). Look forward to watching this evening and sending all my love to this family. I remember the feeling when my own incarcerated loved one was released in the U.S. years ago -- there's no comparable joy, but also the grief compounds and is ongoing. The scars of incarceration (not to mention torture) go deep.
It's crucial that the voices and stories of indigenous people break the media barrier. And it should be obvious why the owners don't want that barrier breached, and why we must endeavor to ever disappoint them in their goals.
This family has been through so much. I'm happy to do what small part I can to help boost their stories. Thank you for giving them this platform. You have a beautiful gift for story-telling, Jasper. Context is everything. Thank you also for holding people in power accountable for not doing their effing jobs. We could all take inspiration from your work and do more.
They planned the 3:00 business so the settlers could let the Palestinians work all day, take their crop and then terrorize them--the soldiers totally were in on it from the get-go. It's yet another of thousands of daily humiliations.
Hundreds of children are imprisoned by Israel for throwing stones. The youngest arrested, but not imprisoned, was four years old and he clearly terrified the soldiers in the tank when he threw a pebble in their direction.
Either Israeli soldiers are total cowards or it is all a scam to arrest children and terrorise them and their parents. Probably both.
It is painful to see how that trust in the US remains, or should I say hope, despite the fact that their actions repeatedly show that they are not worthy of any of that. We all see how they vow their unconditional support to the 2!n!st project, and how they never do anything for any US citizen being violated in that country. I can't erase the memory of Trump telling Knittin'yahoo in the Knesset that " he used those American weapons well", referring to the ongoing genocide. That was chilling!
Still, on a human level I completely empathize with that hope. And the sad thing is, there not much else to look towards, for support in a practical sense. I can only repeat my mantra:
May Peace, Justice and Freedom return to Palestine and the Palestinian people!
Thanks to Jasper and Kamel Musallet and Mohamed Ibrahim
and his family for their bravery and for sharing such painful memories so the world will know.
💔💔💔 I didn’t realize they are related.
Very moving. And I loved hearing about the ice cream shop.
as always, thanks to both of you for getting the deeper part of this story out there
