#Israele demolisce la casa di una famiglia di 11 persone, tra cui 8 minori, lasciandoli senza un tetto.

"Martedì mattina, 26 settembre 2023, intorno alle 7:00, il personale dell'Amministrazione civile si è recato con una scorta militare e un bulldozer nella comunità di #aNueimehAlFoqa, che si trova a nord di #Gerico, e ha demolito l'abitazione di 11 persone, 8 delle quali minorenni, lasciando la famiglia senza casa.

Le forze hanno anche demolito un recinto per il bestiame e un pollaio appartenenti alla famiglia."

#Israele confisca la condotta idrica destinata alle comunità palestinesi.

"Giovedì 28 settembre 2023, intorno alle 8:30 del mattino, il personale dell'Amministrazione Civile si è recato con una scorta militare e una scavatrice nel villaggio di #KhirbetEmneizel, nelle Colline meridionali di #Hebron.

Le forze hanno segato e confiscato un tubo di 270 metri che andava dal villaggio a #WadiEjheish. Il tubo avrebbe dovuto fornire acqua alla comunità e alla comunità di #WadiARakhim a nord di essa, poiché #Israele vieta a entrambe di collegarsi alla rete idrica.

La posa della condotta era stata finanziata da Action Against Hunger ."

#tv “Aljazeera World” is a very impressive documentaries series, with lots of original content exploring #MENA. Edward Said’s documentary “Out of Place” (2006) aired couple of days ago. It comes across somewhat hagiographical… with many of his colleagues singing his praise, including Noam Chomsky, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pappe and more.

What caught my eye was the archive material, especially audio/visual from his family home in upscale Talbiya (الطالبية, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in #Jerusalem still today) which make the phrase “A land without a people for a people without a land” (which was allegedly coined by a Christian #Zionist) sound VERY cruel.

"Milad is five years old and excited for his school trip to a theme park on the outskirts of #Jerusalem, but tragedy awaits: his bus is involved in a horrific accident. His father, Abed, rushes to the chaotic site, only to find Milad has already been taken away.

Am 20. September 1187, heute vor 836 Jahren, begann Saladin die Belagerung von Jerusalem.

Nach zwölftägiger Belagerung kam es Anfang Oktober zur friedlichen Übergabe der Stadt an Saladin und nach 88 Jahren endete die christliche Herrschaft über Jerusalem.

Während die christlichen Eroberer 1099 ein Blutbad an der Zivilbevölkerung angerichtet hatten, blieb ein solches diesmal aus.

Jew Of the Day
1 month ago

✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Naomi Shemer!

Naomi Shemer was an Israeli songwriter and musician who was credited as the "first lady of Israeli song and poetry". Shemer translated poetry into Hebrew and set some poems to music, which she did with her own arrangement, and often her own voice. Her best known songs are The Eucalyptus Grove (חורשת האקליפטו) and Jerusalem of Gold (רושלים של זהב).

Jerusalem of Gold (רושלים של זהב) is considered an unofficial national anthem of Israel and was written while Jews were still not allowed to enter the Old City. It was amended after 1967, when Israel took the city.

In 1983, Shemer won the Israel Prize for Jerusalem of Gold. Near death, she revealed to a friend that she had lifted the melody from another song which was later revealed to be Pello Joxepe by Paco Ibáñez. Ibáñez is quoted as saying that Shemer had no reason to feel shame about lifting the melody.

The bald mannequin is wearing a striped t-shirt and short black shorts, which are placed by the lady. However, this looks very bizarre. The lady's spirited reaching into the mannequin's pants and her slightly absent-minded look are hilarious.

"On the Road to #Jerusalem: Yeomanry In Action Near #Gaza"

After retaking of the Sinai at the start of 1917, the campaign bogged down & suffered defeats at the 1st & 2nd Battles of Gaza. The victories at Beersheba & the 3rd Battle of Gaza (Oct. 31-Nov. 2) opened the way to Jerusalem

"ON THE ROAD TO JERUSALEM: YEOMANRY ACTION NEAR GAZA

The mounted troops prove themselves invaluable in outflanking Turkish convoy parties and generally keeping in touch with the retreating enemy. Mounted infantry tactics, after the South African pattern, were the order of the day, and scenes like that depicted were of frequent occurrence. In the sketch a squadron of Yeomanry have established touch with some Turkish infantry, guided by a battery of field guns. They are working around the left flank of the enemy, who are facing left. The guns have just opened fire on the Yeomanry prior to limbering up."

🕎 Bonus #Hanukkah #history #fact — In 162 BCE, #Antiochus "the Great" III's nephew, #Demetrius, escaped Roman captivity and eventually clawed his way to the top post in Syria, ending Antiochus V's short two-year reign.

🕎 Demetrius thus became the second escaped Roman prisoner to rule Greek Syria.

🕎 No wonder things were so tough for Syrian-ruled #Jerusalem.

🕎 #Hanukkah #history #facts — Did you know that #Hannibal played in role in the Hanukkah story?

After his defeat to Rome, Hannibal traveled to Syria, where he convinced Antiochus III ("The Great") — #Jerusalem's new owner — to wage war against Rome. Rome won, and took Antiochus' son prisoner.

The son escaped, returned to Syria, and, as Antiochus IV ("the Insane"), rededicated the Jewish Temple to Zeus, in turn prompting the Maccabean revolt.

🕎 #Hanukkah #history #facts
Alexander the Great inadvertently set the stage for the events of Hanukkah? Do you know how?

By dying in 323 BCE without a succession plan. After his death, three Greek generals — #Antigonus, #Ptolemy, and #Seleucus — divvied up Alexander's conquered lands, each establishing a dynasty. It was a Seleucid leader in Syria who, some generations later, desecrated the #Jewish #Temple in #Jerusalem, prompting the #Maccabees to rebel.

People sometimes ask me what's the weirdest thing I've ever found in an #archive. I once found a porn magazine cutting (in a folder from the 1930s) and a friend stumbled upon a letter bomb, undetonated but duly filed.

Here's an absurd highlight from the #Jerusalem Municipality Archive: A short note from the #Sephardic Cheif Rabbi to the #Saudi Consul in #Palestine, conveying his best wishes to the King for the 1942 Christmas holidays. Of course, neither of them celebrated Christmas!

Why on earth would a rabbi send Christmas greetings to the Arab world's most conservative muslim state? I'm open to theories.

Happy holidays, be that #Christmas or #Hannukah!

Back for another year, it's 8 days of #WebComponents tips: Mastodon edition!

Each night of #hannukah, I'll post a tip for building & using web components

On the 1st night, let's start at the end. When the #Maccabees liberated the Holy Temple in #Jerusalem from Seleucid Greek invaders, they refused to light the Menorah with the impure oil they found left over
