For historical context, this is probably the most important video you'll ever watch. Let Israelis tell you in their own words how they stole other people's land, how they raped young girls, how they tortured and massacred innocent civilians.

Hamas slaughtered every person - Jewish and Muslim, young and old.
This is Awad Darawshe, a Muslim paramedic who raced to the site of the music festival massacre to treat the wounded.
He too was murdered by Hamas. His ambulance was stolen and driven into Gaza.
May Awadโs memory be a blessing.

Life is already hard and it makes no difference these Palestinians have ownership documents they will wave at unrelenting IDF bulldozers as they set about smashing their village to pieces. Heaven knows where they will find shelter from the heat of the sun let alone live.

Heartbreaking story from Jordan valley!
Ain Zaraa village will be ethnically cleansed in the next days by Israeli military, whilst the settler Koko on top of the hill gets to stay!
All residents have ownership documents of the lands, but the Israeli army wants it a firing zone!

31 years ago yesterday, this masterwork was released. We rate Self Serve, Dreamline, Shaved Head, Dope Fiends and of course Queer as good as any music ever produced in this country. Enjoy #WhaleMusic every day! #Rheostatics @hockeyesque #BecauseWeLoveIt
