Meanwhile "if I don't steal your house someone else will" is happening in Palestine, after days of burnings, assaults, attacks on medics, and settlers literally shooting real guns at Palestinians protesting before the protestors got arrested by police. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/4/if-i-dont-steal-your-home-someone-else-will-jewish-settler-says

I guess it's happening to Palestinians so literally nobody in mainstream Western media seems to care or report on this. The cops are literally walking by the people shooting at protestors to arrest the protestors trying to prevent the theft of their homes.

Imagine finding a stranger in your backyard telling you that if they don't steal your house, someone else will, and when you protest against that injustice you get shot at by the people aiming to steal your house and then the police comes to arrest you for protesting.

Also your friends just had their lands burned, their cars destroyed, their houses taken, and when they tried to protect their stuff been assaulted & beaten & shot at, had tear gas & sound grenades thrown at them.

Because a foreign government said your house ain't yours anymore.

Anyway, if you follow Western media this tweet thread will likely be the only news you see about the events happening in Sheikh Jarrah and Burin and other places just the past few days.

Look at what your home could look like if you'd been Palestinian. https://twitter.com/btselem/status/1389692234359087105

You also won't hear the name of Said Yousef Mohammad Odeh, a 16 year old Palestinian kid shot in the back by Israeli forces. Another kid was shot trying to reach Said to provide aid. The ambulance was refused access to the dying boy for over 15 minutes. https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/124321

You're likely learning about this horrifying violence from some random game developer dude on Twitter. No news, no fundraisers, no anything. Just deafening silence covering the sound of burning embers & gunshots & crying people leaving homes & the shallow breathing of dying kids.
