By With Ramadan approaching us, we are harboring mixed feelings about what is yet to unfold for the people of Palestine. We have been witnessing major events in the political sphere throughout this week of March 1, 2024, that pretty much prove to us that we still have blockades and barricades ahead of us to transverse, both individually and collectively.
For this week marking the start of March 2024, here are the top news stories that have been under our radar wrapped up for you.
“NYT Investigating Israeli Freelancer’s Anti-Palestinian Social Media History”
This piece of news is about yet another lie debunked. Just when you have an ounce of faith in any discourse that Israel propagates and think that it might be true, remember that The New York Times has ditched the shady investigation after intending to earmark it to grace its podcast “The Daily.”
“Aaron Bushnell Death Report Reveals Police Call About ‘Mental Distress’”
Although the notion of protesting loss with further loss is abhorrent, Aaron Bushnell’s actions serve as a poignant testament to both his personal convictions and his unprecedented enduring essence of humanity in a world deeply plagued by darkness and evilness. Your loss is deeply felt and it will not be in vain; you shall be remembered for sacrificing that which anyone will hold most dear.
“Palestinian Deaths in Gaza Pass 30,000 As Witnesses Say Israeli Forces Fire on Crowd Waiting for Aid”
To mainstream media platforms that use language to save Israel’s face, you cannot justify Israel’s mass shooting against Palestinians anymore. Hamas would not be openly amongst children and unarmed civilians waiting for food as they face one of the deadliest famines we currently know of. This is not war. War happens when both parties are armed. What we see is blatant genocide where armed Israeli forces unilaterally use firearms to kill unarmed men, women, and minors.
“Joe Biden Wins Michigan Primary Despite Sizeable Gaza Protest Vote”
While it is clear that Joe Biden would still win the Michigan primary, seeing the protest echo so wildly not just in the political national chambers across the United States but also worldwide is sufficient to say that the impact is too powerful to ignore.
“Hamas Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal, Dashing Biden’s Hopes of Near Term Deal”
Unfortunately, our hopes for a ceasefire on Monday have been dashed, set on fire, and burned to ashes. We deeply pray that Ramadan comes by with nothing but happiness, peace, and renewed hope and faith for everyone in Palestine.
“Israeli Soldier Offers Palestinian Homes for Sale on TikTok”
Posted by the now-controversial Israeli soldier Izidor Elgrabli, we get a recorded and live glimpse of the mindset that drives Israelis to commit ethnic cleansing. They are not in a state of defense. They are not simply defending themselves against some danger looming on the horizon; they are playing offense against people who do not have anything on them to defend themselves, let alone demolishing their homes and neighborhoods.
“‘Uniting the Ranks’ – Hamas, Fatah, Other Groups to Meet in Moscow for Talks”
While reconciliation sounds good and all, we hope that any effort from the Palestinian side will only be in the favor of innocent Palestinians who are incredibly suffering insurmountable losses and enduring unbearable plights.
Now that we have the week of March 1, 2024, wrapped up, we want to urge you to keep using your voice in any shape and form. This is what we all have to resist and change the global paradigm.
