from a mail i wrote hi, i don't have time to compile a post. so i'm sending u different stuff i wrote today. plz do read 1) anne's latest post: http://chroniquespalestine.blogspot.co.il/2012/11/gaza-under-military-attack-day-4.html -------------------- 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4L3oaYtyLs&feature=youtu.be this is from what i wrote on fb, hence the weired names about the nabi saleh stuff nabi saleh yesterday what is happening these days in the rest of palestine is no comparison to the ongoing massacre in gaza, but as a friend said today "we're in war and the west bank is included" - in the sense that they army is using much more violence here. several people and groups are trying to gather how many people were seriously injured and arrested on this side, it's hard to know. i'll post something about that in a bit. but here what happened yesterday in nabi saleh. i've never heard so much life ammu being shot before - the video cut out some parts. when rushdie brother of Nariman Tamimi, Jiji Tamimi, noura, shukri, shaker, etc., nephew of Naji Tamimi among others, uncle of نعم انا جهاد and Waed Tamimi and Tamimi Ahed among others, cousin of Bilal Tamimi and Manal Tamimi among others was shot, they shot life like crazy. Tamimi Rawan Tamimi first tried to continue filming but they kept shooting. everyone kept crouching. helmy took the camera and got up and was shot at immediately. nariman - who was at home, actually counting her blessing that nothing serious happened for on friday - came out running, grabbed the camera and ran down, while they kept shooting around her (video doesn't make that clear). she only realized it's her brother when she arrived. then hilme and Naji made it down in spite of threats. the soldiers kept pointing guns, shooting and wanting to arrest rushdie. he had a head wound, while lying there, he said he couldn't see, now we can. we thought the wound was from another bullet, but it was actually from the butt of a rifle, they hit him in the head when he was shot. you can see how much his family had to fight and risk to get him away from the army and to hospital. he's ok, in the sense, he will survive. he's in the ICU, the bullet entered his leg (he says he can't feel his leg) and went into his intestines. his family is at the hospital (again), waiting for news, while everyone is hoping no one will get arrested tonight. interesting how much soldiers tried to hide their faces from the camera ... ---------------------- 4) i wanted to write a post, about stuff happening here in west bank, about how cool it is that a pretty large convoy of egyptian activists entered gaza today, with anne's last posts and pictures, some stuff that anne said today, but i am tired. maybe tmw. what i do want to say is this: ane said that people feel strongly the connection to palestinians elsewhere (specially in deffa u quds), feel they are not alone, feel also he support outside of palestine and are getting strength etc from it. i don't remember her words exactly and i know she only described what a small part of the population seems to think/feel, but for what it's worth, i'd paraphraze what she described as an attitude of "fuck them! we're under war, but we are not alone, and we WILL FIGHT!" yalla, while people are being killed in gaza and arrested in west bank, i'll leave internet access place now. i wished that kullkum tisba7u 3ala 5eir insha'allah u al sha3b fee ghazza akdar eshy ---------------- 5) hey everyone, making a call here. if anyone feels like donating whatever sum, please let me know. people in gaza (especially the activists that are reporting, but also "normal" people like mohammad's family) need phone credit, the activists need a lot of it. and some ppl need other things. i'm not fundraising right now for the much needed medical aid etc., but just wanted to let u know, if anyone wants to donate and trust me to distribute it wisely, et me know -- good night (for me, not for many others)
