Why is it so hard to find positive news about Palestine and her people?
When you Google "Palestinian inventions" you are treated to a Wiki page with 8 entries. Every single one of them weapons.
But what about THIS WOMAN who created light weight bricks to help rebuild from the bombs that have torn Gaza to pieces. Why aren't her "Green Cakes" listed?
Are we really going to believe that in thousands of years of history, the only thing the Palestinians have ever invented is bombs and ways to launch them?
This is a tiny country that cannot even fish off the ocean on their own coast without Israel sinking their boats.
And about that history? Do you really believe the Israeli lies?
Israel wants you to believe they took the West Bank from JORDAN?!
People like @bearbear613 have learned nothing good about the Palestinian people, and his/her small minded opinion of them is all by design. How would Israel benefit in a world that viewed the Palestinians as real people?
If you google "Palestinian architecture" the buildings are all listed as having addresses in Israel. Buildings hundreds of years old.
They don't want you to think about Palestinians being capable of creation.
Why else would nobody know of Danna Masad?
She left Palestine to go to school in California. When she returned to Palestine, she, and three others founded the country's first Green Design Company.
ShamsArd: meaning "Sun" and "Earth" in Arabic is a political stance of the youth against the tight restrictions placed on allowing goods into Palestine, controlled by Israel.
They started with trash, recycled and repurposed, they made furniture. Now they have landscaping services, plan arcitecture and continue selling their furniture.
Does this make them too human? Is that why the world has never heard of them?
In 2018 alone, Israel arrested 980 Palestinian children. CHILDREN. Many under the age of 10. Durgham Maswada was only 3.
Sounds an awful lot like Israel's faithful lap dog, the United States these days. Except, on this one, the US wins for cruelty to children, their "tender age internment camps" holding thousands of children.
If you would like to read some heartbreaking views if what it is like to live in Palestine, check out and follow @nourtawfiq. She has also just completed a campaign to give gifts to children in need within her country.
Why do we not hear about Palestinians like Nour and Danna? Why are figures like Ahed lambasted with lies?
Because it is easier to rewrite history if you do not see them as human.
