Winter Cold and Collapsing Buildings Kill Palestinians in Gaza as Israel Blocks Shelter Supplies A family of three was killed while they slept by a collapsing wall. A one-year-old baby died from the cold. Over 30 Palestinians in Gaza have died from a lack of shelter this winter.

"Among the items Israel restricts are drainage equipment, heaters and solar equipment, and reconstruction items such as cement and timber, many of which are classified as “dual-use” items."

A small but concrete task for today:

Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm.

Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

For Palestinian filmmakers in Israel, it’s loyalty or silence Israel’s persecution of Palestinian actor and filmmaker Mohammad Bakri reflects its desire to censor stories of the occupation while appearing democratic.

The Palestinian filmmaker Mohammad Bakri, who directed the documentary “Jenin, Jenin”, has passed away aged 72.

Read Suha Arraf’s piece from 2021 on how Israel stifles Palestinian filmmakers like Bakri, and how they continue to resist through their art.

Not only is Eurovision welcoming Israel (while banning Russia for the same reasons), but they’re willing to let go of Spain, Slovenia, Ireland and the Netherland, countries that have not committed war crimes.

Eurovision is willing to self-destruct just to protect Israel.

Boycott Eurovision.
