Hello. This is the first of our Palestinian coverage that we have been producing at our Instagram. Since October 7th, in between local articles, we curate news articles about Palestine, and post them in collections. The tone is different than here at the blog. ALBB’s tone at Instagram has grown more personal. We start each Palestine group post with this “little gaza news” graphic, and a description that sets the guidance for the posts to come.

From ALBB’s Instagram:

“Today at ALBB was supposed to be about bringing you the news about the Cold Spring Farmers Market. But today so many pictures of Palestinian children burned bombed in the most unusual way surfaced. As well as more pictures of more children starving to death. As Joe Biden allows this to go on. And says that building a pier along side Gaza is the solution. It is not a solution. Ceasefire and End the Occupation is the answer. We, people in Beacon and all of the United States, are paying for this. At the very least, that can be why you care.

“This year, Katie is practicing Ramadan for the first time. She’s wanted to for years. And so just decided. Already had been reading the Quran and praying multiple times a day. It has been a beautiful experience so far. Only day 3 (or 4? brain gets scrambled when hungry.)

“Hunger. Hunger. Water. The people of Gaza have no water. Remember? Months ago they had no water. Months. Food. No food. Hardly any food. Israel denies all the food. Israel shoots people trying to get food (a video has surfaced of the massacre). Remember The Flour Massacre?

“Today, 50 people were shot from an Israeli helicopter. For fun. For sport. Israeli leadership has stated many times that they aim to clear all of Palestine out. This is the 2nd Nakba. So. That’s what this is. Call me anything you want here in Beacon. “White Power Hamas.” “Terrorist Apologist” “Hamas Supporter.” I am not alone. We are surrounded by people trying to stop this heinous homicide. Don’t cover your eyes or plug your ears for the next news photos. Hopefully “a little Gaza News” will get happier soon. If you want a Ceasefire / End The Occupation sign ALBB produced, let us know. We can keep printing them. Hang one in your room. Your office. Wherever you want.”
