Israeli occupation soldiers raid central Gaza

There’s no such thing as an inferior people. There are oppressed people. And they’re not oppressed by superior people. They are oppressed by people who are better organized than they are.
The reason why the Klu Klux Klan terrorizes us is because they are organized. They have meetings every week and their members go to the meetings. They discuss racist ideology. They internalize it and then they mobilize it. They even make uniforms for that.
Not many of us can say we go to meetings every week for the people.

Jerusalem today after jummah salaah
Israeli forces today beat two women in a rally in Jerusalem marking the 46 anniversary of its occupation.
One woman suffered bruises to her lower back, and another to her chest,
Moath Abu Rasheed, 17, was arrested and taken to a police station, while an Israeli activist was detained for several minutes.
The march started from the al-Aqsa compound after Friday prayers. Demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and chanted for Al-Aqsa, prisoners, and Jerusalem. Israeli special forces, border guards, and mounted police dispersed the protesters.

you know when you put off an assignment till the last minute because you don’t feel like dealing with it and then you stay up all night to finish it but when you finish it, you’re all like “wow wtf that was so easy, why didn’t i just do this earlier??” and you hate yourself for being a procrastinating shitbag
“The olive tree: at once a symbol of peace throughout the Mediterranean and an embodiment of identity deeply entranched in Palestinian culture. The olive tree is also the foundation for the economic activity and development in Palestine. Planting an olive tree, therefore, is both expressing a desire for peace and also a desire to protect lands from dispossession and ruin.
The scattered pockets of color which compose this mural are but a symbol of a culture, an identity, which is itself disjointed and in fragments. In contrast, the phrase ‘My name is Palestine’ affirms the existence of this identity. Naming is one manner through which to assert the presence of a people, a history, and a culture.”
Al-Aqsa Mosque - While meandering through the Old City of Jerusalem today, I couldn’t help but marvel at the third holiest site in Islam — Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (Al-Aqsa Mosque).
The mosque, which is more than 1,000 years old, is so sacred to Muslims because it’s home to the Dome of the Rock, which commemorates when Prophet Muhammed (s.a.w.) was transported from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to Al-Aqsa during the Night Journey.
It was difficult to not gaze in awe as I engulfed myself in the mosque’s rich history and absolutely magnificent architecture (both inside and outside — as you can see, I couldn’t choose just one photo from today to post)!
Al Souq (The Market) * RAMALLAH
Renowned for its hundreds of shops, street vendors and restaurants, the market in the city of Ramallah bustles with visitors shopping, stocking up on fresh fruit and bread or grabbing a bite of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Ramallah, meaning “Height of God” in Arabic, is located in the central West Bank of Palestine, and the “souq” is the heart of the city. We left with two bags of fruit, bread, clothes and jewelry. Now I get why when Ramallah is brought up in conversation here, people’s eyes instantly light up.

Post from Islamic Thinking 10 Tips on How to be a Successful Husband
1.) Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good. When was the last time us men went shopping for designer pajamas? Just like the husband wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too. Remember that Rasulullah SAW would always start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest smells.
2.) Use the cutest names for your wife. Rasulullah SAW had nicknames for his wives, ones that they loved. Call your wife by the most beloved names to her, and avoid using names that hurt their feelings.
3.) Don’t treat her like a fly. We never think about a fly in our daily lives until it ‘bugs’ us. Similarly, a wife will do well all day - which brings no attention from the husband - until she does something to ‘bug’ him. Don’t treat her like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus on that.
4.) If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment! This is one of the ways Rasulullah SAW used when he would see something inappropriate from his wives Radiallahu Anhunn. It is something that very few muslim men have learnt or practice with their wives.
5.) Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often. Smiling is sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the muslim ummah. Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember also those Ahadith when Rasulullah SAW would kiss his wife before leaving for Salah, even if he was fasting.
6.) Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take for example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the home, and a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only acknowledgement she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the soup. Don’t be that person; thank her!
7.) Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made her happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize what makes her happy. You don’t have to play a guessing game, ask her and work on repeating those things in your life.
8.) Don’t belittle her desires. Comfort her. Sometimes the men may look down upon the requests of their wives. Rasulullah SAW set the example for us in an incident when Safiyyah RA was crying because, as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears, comforted her, and brought her the camel.
9.) Be humorous and play games with your wife. Make her laugh, have little ‘inside’ jokes and moments with her. Honestly your wifes laughter is one of the best sounds in life. Make her smile keep & her happy. Look at how Rasulullah SAW would race his wife Aisha RA in the desert. When was the last time we did something like that?
10.) Always remember the words of Allah’s Messenger SAW: “The best of you are those who treat their families the best. And I am the best amongst you to my family.” Try to be the best!
Never forget to make dua to Allah SWT to make your marriage successful. And Allah SWT knows best. :)

Israeli army forces, escorted by Police dogs, raided at dawn the Jenin Governorate, broke into several houses and arrested five Palestinians.
The police dogs have bitten the detainees 62-year-old father, his sister Bara', 34, the 7-year-old child Ali Rami al-Darbi, while severely beat Shadi's mother and brother Ahmed, 27, in the old city of Jenin.
A siren goes off, the skies go dark, winds pick up, and tornadoes form...People take cover and homes are sometimes destroyed as we recently saw in Oklahoma...In Palestine, soldiers surround a home, bulldozers are waiting, the residents are given a few minutes to evacuate, and a family's life is reduced to rubble as man, NOT nature goes about demolishing homes in the cruelest of fashions...As a child in Palestine, I remember my mother, may God have mercy on her soul, berating me for disturbing a bird's nest to the outcry of its residents, scolding me and asking me how I would feel if someone would come and destroy our home, and yet, that is exactly what the Jewish State and her demonic soldiers do on a daily basis: destroy HOMES, not just structures, as children look on, eyes filled with tears, and hearts full of rage...Never forgive, never forget!

A Palestinian worker holds a pot made out of kneaded mud in one of the largest pottery workshops in the Gaza Strip, where pottery is a traditional industry, on May 28, 2013. According to reports, over 50 pottery workshops in Gaza have closed over the past few years. This decline in production is due to the availability of cheaper, plastic containers, as well as to the ongoing Israeli economic sanctions on the Gaza Strip.
