The term "shaheed" translated to martyr is used in different ways.

First reference is for fighters who die in a holy war.

The second is used for those innocent who didn't fight, but were murdered unjustifiably.

It's a cultural thing that people unfamiliar with Arab/muslim traditions don't understand.

I don't use the term, as I'm not religious, but when I post from Palestinian sources, I share what they wrote.

NEVER FORGET THE BRAVE WOMAN WHO TOLD THE WORLD ABOUT THIS CHILD (from BlueSky:

Beloved Palestinian journalist Mariam Abu Dagga legacy will outlive the occupation. From waking up millions from their slumber to injustice to having a role in the evacuation of children with her storytelling. She was murdered for telling the truth. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

@sirico

It is really because they want to "kill" Palestine.

For years they spread the lies about Iranian stupid former president saying that Israel will be wiped off the map of the earth and now they are literally doing it to Palestine with the help of their supporters in UK, US, Germany and so many other places.

This can't be just over a football jersey.

@kinther

It is called "Blossom End rot". It is a common problem with tomatoes.

It is because of either lack of calcium or irregular watering.

If you have calcium deficiency, you can solve it by using egg shells, bake them for a few minutes in the oven at 120 deg. C, crush them and add some vinnegar to it and let it sit over night.

Then use the "juice" and mix it with 10 times it's volume water. Water your plants every other day with it and it fixes it.

@rumimevlevi exactly. There are so many of them on lemmy

@Chrusher seriously what the Fuck is wrong with you people?

She was trying to take food and medicine to Gaza and show the world that Israel is blocking aid not just by land but also the sea.

I'm s o sick of assholes like you ignoring the value of activism to draw attention to an ongoing genocide that the media and politicians trying to hide from the public.

@fossilesque I met a few Israeli soldiers who were part of the "refusenik" movement when I was active with Amnesty. The group changed its name to "Breaking the silent".

I heard similar testimonies from the soldiers who served during the second Intifada and had traumatic memories about their treatment of Palestinians, specially children.

I sill in touch with one of them who lives in Canada.

@eldavi it really is sickening.

The post by IDF making fun of freedom flotilla's "failure" was infuriating.

@RejZoR
These people are against anyone who tries to humanize Palestinians. Their enemy is not Hamas or Islamic Jihad or even PA, they hate Palestinians and believe in anhelation of every single Palestinian living in their "holy land".

@Kyrgizion exactly.

This is the problem I have with blue MAGAts on bluesky. They are so focused on Trump and the BS story of Russia causing the problem in their society, they ignore the massive army of evangelical Christian Zionist movement that got Bush and Trump into power and control most of the media in the country.

It's the pre programmed mindset Hollywood worked so hard for decades to get into people's heads that the problem is always because of one bad guy not the movement behind it

@queermunist

I never forget the moment I saw the video of her murder.

It was before Israel forced all web sites to remove the video.

I think I still have it on one of my backup tapes

@TheSealStartedIt

Just remember how many children died of starvation in Gaza and these MFers come up with such disgusting propaganda
