Meta / Announcements Gaza Is Starving. Let's Do Something

50 Upvotes

The UN has stated that every single part of Gaza is in famine conditions.

For over 22 months, Palestinians in Gaza have been starving. Parents have been feeding their children leaves, animal feed, and flour mixed with water. Babies have died from malnutrition. The trucks carrying food, formula, medicine, and clean water sat just miles away, blocked by Israel.

Now, after massive international pressure, some aid is finally getting in.

This is a crack in the blockade, not its end. Aid is not flooding in; it is trickling, and what’s entering can’t possibly reach 2 million people without a total lifting of restrictions, guaranteed long-term access, and safe distribution.

What you can do right now:

Keep up the pressure - aid only started moving because of public outcry. Organize, protest, keep talking. This momentum cannot fade. Contact your representatives to end Israel's blockade of Gaza.

Donate- if you’re able to. Choose vetted organizations with access on the ground.

Amplify - share updates, Palestinian voices, and testimonies. Keep an eye on Palestine.

This famine is not an accident. It’s the result of siege, blockade, and a system of control. If we look away now, they’ll tighten the noose more.

History & Heritage How is the Antiquity period viewed? Looking for sources.

7 Upvotes

There is no avoiding how the field of archaeology is weaponized in this conflict. https://www.thepipd.com/content/blog/the-weaponization-of-archaeology-and-cultural-heritage/

But looking at my personal library, I confess to have a bit of a blind spot regarding the classical and late antiquity periods. Most of my books present a Jewish and/or Israeli perspective on the history.

Digging online hasn’t exactly helped.

I’m curious if there are any Palestinian focused works looking at the archeological and historical aspects of the Hellenistic and Roman periods?

I also welcome any input into subject from people here.

Culture Homemade lemon slushy, also known as Barad (باراد), is a beloved treat in Tulkarm. Served in spring and lasting through autumn, this refreshing drink is often sold from a trolley.

53 Upvotes

If you’re lucky, the man with the trolley will wander through your neighborhood, calling out “Barad!” As soon as the kids hear him, they come rushing out of their homes for a chance to enjoy this delightful beverage.  When the barad man visits our street, excitement fills the air, and Grandma often shares one of her childhood riddles. Not every city in Palestine has Barad. Tulkarm’s weather is Warner, but tasting Barad it is a must—it’s not just a refreshing drink, it’s a cherished Tulkarm childhood tradition!

History & Heritage Balsam of Gilead - Palestinian heritage

12 Upvotes

Hi there,

I'm a perfume lover from Sardinia, and I've recently watched a video about the "Balsam of Gilead".

I'm a Palestinian supporter and fundraiser, and it will be my birthday in a few days, that's why I'm now wondering if and where this rare perfume/balsam can be found.

From my research, this rare note seems to have gone extinct, even though some says there is still someone who have the original, but they are in Israel, which is a big NO for me.

I've also read that the plant could probably still be found in Yemen, Lebanon and close to the Red Sea, but I cannot find any artisan or seller that actually sells the original one and not a "copy".

That is why I'm asking here this:

  • Is there anyone who could guide me or suggest where to look for a perfume or a balsam with this note?
  • Is the plant actually extinct?
  • Are there similar perfumes which resembles the fragrance with the usage of different notes? I already know that Labdanum resembles it a little, but I'd like to know if there is a Brand or Artisan which creates something similar.

Film & Entertainment Your favorite shows (e.g., Gilmore Girls, Friends, etc) are feeding you pro-Israeli propaganda, but why?

222 Upvotes

Watch out for casual pro-Israeli content in the TV shows and movies that you watch. Also, before watching them, check out whether or not they contain Zionist and pro-Israeli performers. If you must watch these shows, it would be better, morally speaking, for you to p1rat3 them than to buy them or subscribe to streaming services to watch them.

Culture I need some advice about gift giving practices in Palestine as a foreigner

17 Upvotes

Hello! I'm a foreigner who's met a palestinian while he was in my country on an exchange with university and we've kept in contact since then, I can say we're friends. Now he and his wife have welcomed a baby girl and I would like to send them a gift. In my culture, there degrees of "closeness", so if you're just a friend and make a huge gift it is considered kind of inappropriate, because you would be putting yourself on the same level of importance of the closest friends and relatives, so I don't want to fall in that mistake, if that's the same in Palestine. Of course from afar the best way i think of is sending them moeny in some way. Is it acceptable? can you overall give me some piece of advice and if money is ok, tell me how much is considered acceptable/appropriate for my kind of relationship with them? (I have never met the wife since they're living there and I haven't visited until now)

Personal Experiences India and Palestine

20 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m an Indian here 👋

I’ve noticed something in vlogs and YouTube videos of Indian tourists visiting Palestine: Palestinians often give them an incredibly warm welcome. In many cases, I’ve seen shopkeepers or restaurant owners refusing to take money from Indian visitors, or people inviting them to their homes for lunch or dinner.

On top of that, Palestinians often talk about how much they love Indian movies, mention their favorite actors/actresses, and sometimes even sing Bollywood songs for Indian tourists.

Why is this so? What do Palestinians think of Indian people (of all faiths)? What kind of connection do you feel with Indians? And if you’ve ever personally met or interacted with an Indian, what was your experience like?
