She was trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family's home in #Rafah by Israeli occupation forces, before they left Gaza and turned it into a giant concentration camp.
The “22 years ago” part is shocking to many people, because it has only recently (within the past two or three years) started making headlines. My first roommate was Palestinian, and most of his family was wiped out by Israel. He fled to the US to escape them. His family used to own an olive farm, but it was burned and bulldozed, and the land was given to some Israeli “settlers” instead. He had photos of the farm, and it was a beautiful picturesque scene.
He told me about that like a decade ago, and said it had been going on for at least a decade prior. He even lamented the fact that nobody even knew about it, because the American news was refusing to report on it.
Imagine being the kind of mind that downvotes this comment. Like why are they downvoting? "I disagree with this verifiable fact"? "I refuse to believe this is true"? "Maybe if I downvote this people will question the validity of this fact"?
This is an attempt to give this regurgitated bullshit credibility by having as many people as possible saying the same information online, since "if all these people are saying it then it must be true"
