Where will Israel’s assault on Palestinians end?

On Wednesday, May 12 at 19:30 GMT:
Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem and Israeli-besieged Gaza have for days faced a series of increasingly severe Israeli assaults that have killed dozens of people and wounded hundreds more.

Israeli jets began air raids on Gaza on May 10, soon after Hamas’s military wing fired rockets towards Israel in reaction to Israel security forces storming the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam’s third holiest site, and firing rubber bullets, stun grenades and tear gas at worshippers.

The Israeli assault on the mosque followed days of Palestinian-led protests in East Jerusalem against the widely-expected expulsion of Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood. Right-wing Jewish settlers are trying to wrest control of the land that the homes have stood on for decades, and have the backing of far-right Israeli politicians.

In this episode of The Stream, we’ll look at what’s happening in Gaza and occupied East Jerusalem and ask what it will take to stop the violence.

Comment by Bilal Mahmud المكافح المخلص on May 12, 2021 at 12:28pm: Israel deliberately destroyed a residential tower in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday despite warnings from Palestinian resistance groups not to target civilian infrastructure.

Videos circulated on social media show the al-Hanadi apartment building collapsing after it was struck by an Israeli missile.

San Francisco Protest for Palestine!

As we approach the anniversary of the Nakba, the colonization of Palestine, no where is ongoing Israeli settler-colonialism more clear today than in the heart of Jerusalem, Palestine’s capitol: in the village of Sheikh Jarrah, in Silwan, in Batan Al Hawa.

This past week, Palestinians in Jerusalem have experienced some of the worst violence in recent history. On the last Friday of Ramadan, Israeli forces stormed the Al-Aqsa mosque and fired tear gas and live ammunition at the worshipers. And in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in east Jerusalem, Palestinians continue to resist violent and illegal attempts to forcibly expel them from their homes. All of this is funded by US tax dollars.

For those in the San Francisco Bay Area, we ask you to join us this Saturday!

Saturday, May 15th

12:00 - 3:00pm: Community mural

3:00 - 5:00pm: COMMUNITY RALLY

Valencia and Liberty Street

(between 20th and 21st street)

I stand in solidarity with Palestinians in Sheikh Jarrah and the West Bank. This is not about religion. This is about Israeli colonization, military occupation, ethnic cleansing and apartheid. We must stop normalizing the dehumanization of the Palestinian people. We all deserve the right to live life free of violence & fear. Enough is enough.
