“The occupation seeks to erase our #culture and #identity. But #art preserves our memory. Every painting I create is a document, telling the world that we are alive, we dream and we hold onto our roots.” aje.io/mncfnk via @ajenglish.bsky.social

#HumanRights include #education Some of the books examined by police included literature by renowned Jewish author Noam Chomsky and Israeli historian Ilan Pappe. www.newarab.com/news/israel-...

"Do children wo have their legs amputated grow new legs?" Without legs it is virtually impossible for a child in Gaza to attend school because they can't walk there. If an arm was amputated perhaps they can't even write.

One of our upcoming projects, as soon as the circumstances permit, will be to provide prosthetic limbs to some of the amputee children so they can attend school, even if it is in a tent. #EducationForAll #EducationMatters

Almost all of Gaza’s schools have been damaged or destroyed – with thousands of students and teachers among the victims of Israel’s war. Yet Palestinians have battled to ensure their children still get a chance to learn. #WarOnEducation aje.io/3og2ae via @ajenglish.bsky.social
