We enter Shabbat as we prepare to mark three devastating years of genocide next week. As we slow down this weekend, we’re using the time to study the testimony of survivors of the Israeli military’s genocide. We carry their memories with us as we continue to struggle for Palestinian liberation.

The destruction of Gaza is the destruction of the whole world. The Israeli government, with the eager assistance of the United States, is laying the groundwork for for how we respond to genocide and atrocities in the 21st century.

Social media users have been sharing Google Maps satellite imagery of Gaza over the past day. The damage visible on the map reflects the scale recorded by UN assessments. "It doesn't need scholars, it doesn't need anyone to justify this as a genocide because you can see it from Google Maps."

🇵🇸 Palestinian-American journalist and Drop Site contributor Naqaa Hamed has been freed on bail after 13 days in Israeli detention. She was arrested September 15 at a checkpoint near Bethlehem while returning from a reporting assignment on settler violence. An Israeli military court released her on 8,000 shekels bail, her lawyer told AFP. 

The Committee to Protect Journalists had previously condemned the "unsubstantiated espionage allegations" against her. Israel still holds 36 Palestinian journalists, the Palestinian Prisoners' Society reports.

🎬 Palestinian cinema has roots in the earliest history of filmmaking: the first known motion-picture footage was shot in Jaffa and Jerusalem in 1897. After the Nakba, Palestinian filmmaking developed in exile and underwent a breakthrough with the emergence of the revolutionary movement in the 1960s.

🇵🇸🇺🇸 Trump administration approves $2.8 billion Israel arms package including 40,000 bombs

The Trump administration has approved a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel that includes 40,000 bombs, the New York Times reported.

The package includes 20,000 2,000-pound Mk84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 general-purpose bombs. Congress has been informally notified of the pending sale.

Most of the package would be paid for through U.S. foreign military financing, meaning American taxpayer funds provided to Israel would be used to purchase the weapons from the United States.
