It may feel difficult to celebrate Eid as we watch live videos of ethnic cleansing and violence against Palestine. It may feel difficult to celebrate as we watch our people suffer in Yemen, Syria, Iraq. But our people are strong, may our communities prevail. Liberation is coming

Palestinians use fragments of the bombs and weapons that’s been used against them today during the attack by the occupation forces to make a picture of The Dome of the Rock with the words “you won’t get past us”. #AlAqsaUnderAttack #SaveSheikhJarrah
