Mesk died without committing any crime in her life, except that she breathed her first breath in Gaza in a dark world filled with monsters and she paid the price by exhaling her last breath in Gaza too. Just as they pulled her alive from her mother's womb on the day of her birth, they pulled her lifeless body from beneath the rubble... Do not forget Mesk; she is not just a number.

    Thank you @KaBKaBKa for conceding that Israeli Zionism is genocidal racism. The answer to your question is quite clear in my answer. You're evidently too deeply programmed to see it.

    Israel doesn't have a "right" to exist. To paraphrase article 12 of the Jerusalem Declaration:
    all should live together in peace in the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea
    as equals
    http://jerusalemdeclaration.org/

    People who claim to be Jewish (and whether Israelis are Jewish is contested) are entitled to live in peace in those lands. They ought not, however, aspire be the Master Race of those lands. That fundamental of Israeli Zionism endangers Jews worldwide.

    @DropBear @prasoon @appassionato @palestine @israel For me, there is a big difference between genocide and expulsion. And not all Israelis are nationalists or dream of a master race. Nevertheless, even the peaceful Israelis there will not be able to live in peace if the Palestinians do not get their own state. A joint state is absolutely illusory. And even if there are two states and peace, Hamas or its successors will continue to attack Israel.

    Even the United Nations is concerned:

    Pinned down

    In this picture, University of Texas police (UTPD) officers are pinning a protester on the concrete sidewalk and zip-tying them.

    In this picture, University of Texas police (UTPD) officers are pinning a protester on the concrete sidewalk and zip-tying them. Law enforcement would push in at intervals and surround the protesters, 360 degrees. Nearby crowds and media often couldn’t see the full extent of the force used and how the protesters were being detained. I wanted to show the feelings of imprisonment and suffocation that the students were experiencing, so I tried to depict the officers’ legs as bars that were already surrounding the student. I was beside the student in this picture when the arrest was made and a UTPD officer had pushed me down while trying to make space. I was lying on the ground with a wall of cops between me and the student when I sat up to take this picture, not more than five feet away from her. I was shocked from being pushed to the ground when I met her gaze and realized we were close enough to make eye contact. I felt needed to take a picture that would encapsulate both her feelings and my own. It shows how unnecessary the force used in these arrests was. Our cameras bear the responsibility of recording the events – to allow the viewers to see, and, most importantly, place themselves in our point of view with a space for empathy that a photo like this provides.
