GAZA A Child’s Pain Must Never Become Normal

Perhaps I will surprise you if I tell you that this image is real, one hundred percent, and has not been altered using artificial intelligence.

This little girl lost her mother tonight in a brutal Israeli bombardment. Yes, she watched her mother burn to death, after losing her father as well just months ago. She herself was on the verge of dying the same way, had it not been for God's protection and the brave young men who intervened.

This scene is meant to become ordinary, normal, and repetitive, despite being deeply shocking, utterly brutal, and horrific.

After repeating this scene thousands upon thousands of times, Israel wants people to stop being outraged or moved by it. It wants them to turn their faces away once, then keep scrolling past it again and again.

This crime, along with countless others, is a war against God and against His creation. Its deliberate repetition is intended to destroy the very human instinct for compassion and decency with which people are born.

May Israel be cursed, and may all those who have befriended it, normalized relations with it, or colluded in the rivers of blood and scattered body parts be cursed as well!

This is honestly terrifying. We don’t have to click on ads for us to be hacked. We can be scrolling away from ads and we automatically get hacked by Israel with our personal information being leaked.

The internet is a dangerous place and this is why I personally believe that AI nonsense is being pushed here in America. Luckily, there are some smart people, mainly young people, who are aware of this and is willing to fight against Israel and AI and sees the connection between the two diseases.

And there has been many evidence within past 2-3 years of Israel using the internet and AI to go after good people, especially the Palestinians, who are the biggest targets of AI and AI devices.

Israeli & Settler Terror Israeli rabbi permits occupiers to steal Palestinian olive harvest in West Bank

Rabbi Dov Lior claims Palestinian land belongs to Jews, says harvesting olives demonstrates ownership, according to Israeli Channel 13

A prominent Israeli rabbi on Friday issued a religious ruling permitting Israeli occupiers to take olives from Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank, claiming that harvesting the crop “demonstrates Jewish ownership of the land.”

The ruling was issued by Rabbi Dov Lior, one of the most prominent religious authorities among Israeli occupiers in the West Bank, and was published by Israeli Channel 13.

It comes amid escalating occupier violence against Palestinians and their property, particularly farmers during the olive harvest season.

Lior claimed that Palestinians do not own their land, arguing that they had not purchased it from the “people of Israel” or from any Jewish person and describing the land as “stolen property.”

Citing Jewish religious law, he claimed that ownership of land cannot be transferred through theft and that Palestinian land therefore remains the property of the “people of Israel.”

He also argued that Palestinians planting olive trees on their land does not give them ownership rights over either the land or its produce.

Lior claimed Palestinians had already received sufficient compensation for planting the trees by consuming their fruit over previous years, and said both the land and harvest should return to what he called their “rightful owners.”

His ruling was not limited to land near illegal settlements, however, and also permitted occupiers to take olive crops from Palestinian areas farther away.

The ruling comes as attacks on Palestinian farmers during the West Bank olive harvest season have intensified, including assaults, preventing farmers from reaching their land, damaging trees and stealing crops.

Such attacks recur during the olive harvest, which peaks in October each year, while this month has seen an increase in attacks by occupiers against Palestinians and their property.

Palestinian, Israeli and international rights organizations have accused Israeli authorities of failing to stop occupier violence or hold perpetrators accountable despite attacks targeting Palestinians, their homes, farmland, vehicles and other property.

Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land are considered illegal under international law, while Palestinians maintain their rights to their land and reject attempts to seize it.

War Crimes This is the yellow block, and in Gaza it has come to mean death. It moved forward in the night, escorted by the Israeli occupation army and the militias operating under its protection, and by morning the last civilians on the edge of the neighbourhood had been forced to flee west into the unknown.

There are no tents waiting for them and nowhere left to go. All they did was run from death. Since Sunday, the occupation has dragged these concrete markers of the Yellow Line west through Shuja’iyya, swallowing the entire neighbourhood and pushing them to within metres of Salah Al-Din Street. Every block that moves takes more of Gaza’s land. Palestinian researchers say Gaza’s population is now squeezed into about 40 percent of the Strip.
