Eid al-Fitr marks the conclusion of the holy Islamic month of Ramadaan. Usually a celebratory position, this holiday is unhappy for American Palestinians, Muslims or not, who weep amid the worst violence observed in their later years.
“It doesn’t seem like a holiday to us,” Amani al-Khatahtbeh, an American Palestinian writer and founder of the online magazine Muslim Girl, told the Guardian Amani al-Khatahtbeh. “These kinds of happening atrocities are damaging the collective diaspora. “
The images of the al-Aqsa mosque, Islam’s third holiest place, engulfed in flames on the last nights of Ramadaan, circulated widely on social media.
The days of violence in Jerusalem and now gaza over the disputed Sheikh Jarrah community have provoked foreign condemnation, adding from a developing organization of progressive AMERICAN lawmakers who have opposed the Israeli army, accusing the superior force to prove it. to get palestinians out of their homes.
UN human rights officials also suggested israel avoid expelling Palestinians from their homes and respecting foreign humanitarian law that East Jerusalem remains part of Palestinian territory.
Palestinian activists reacting on social media say this public denunciation of Israel is a seismic replacement for the past language used by American politicians around confrontation in the region.
“It’s something else this time and, honestly, I think it’s largely due to social media,” al-Khatahtbeh said.

It is now highly unlikely that it will hide all abuses that take place. It’s terrifying for the old guard who’s invested so much in the prestige quo. We are decentralizing and democratizing this. “

Alexandria Ocasius-Cortez directly challenged Biden’s position, stating: “Generals like those who have little context or popularity of what caused this cycle of violence, i. e. expulsions of Palestinians and attacks on others – Aqsa – dehumanizing Palestinians and engaging the United States. He’ll look at human rights violations on the other side. That’s not true. “
