To know the details of what’s occurred in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict since the events in #SaveSheikhJarrah, this is a good overview. Nothing to do with the larger historical or moral dynamics - just what has actually happened over the last few days. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

I think knowing the immediate context is important. People who fetishizing the conflict are using cherry picked events from the past to justify their side. "Bombing apartments is ok cos remember the PLO"

I wouldn't go to the @nytimes for ANYTHING about Israel. Also, it's not a Palestinian-Israeli conflict, anymore than it was a White settler vs Native Americans "conflict."

nitter.vloup.ch/fakhrifadzli/sta… another brief synopsis of the past month or so leading up to the current conflict, from a palestinian perspective. a very lucky coincidence for bibi that this all transpired just as his corruption trial resumed.
These are the events that preceded and sparked war between Israel & Gaza : 1) In late April Palestinians was prevented from gathering at Bab Al-Amoud in Jerusalem. This sparked series of protest which eventually forced Israel to withdraw the orders. aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/26…

Wow, no historical context? Very brave of you, Marianne. What next, I sure hope you purpose that the real Jewish State is going to be the United States, since clearly white folks are way more likely to be allowed into this country than anybody else.

It's not a conflict. It's a GENOCIDE and ETHNIC CLEANSING against the Palestinians who are Indigenous to that land. Free PALESTINE 🇵🇸

6 Palestinian families who didn't pay rent for decades are facing eviction in a case with pending mediation in Israeli courts. Muslim Brotherhood extremists rioted at Al Aqsa Mosque 8 days ago and now Hamas is lobbing rockets at Israeli civilians. The end.
