Happy Hanukkah from Israel ❤️🇮🇱

Hoping to live in peace with our neighbours and for history to not return as it's going lately.

Be a light where there is darkness, be a person where some have lost their humanity ✨

The IDF they don't want you to see ❤️🏳️🌈

This is Shmuel Hugi who drove all the way to the border to ask his boyfriend Denise to marry him.
The ring was bought in a project called "Adir's diamond", a project by a father of a Nova party victim who lost his life saving 7 other persons from Hamas, his father wanted to keep his memory through bringing couples together to make new families in Israel 🇮🇱❤️🏳️🌈

Hey ❤️ how are you?

I'm... holding up. It's a lot.

In the meantime, I made lots of new handmade works I have little energy to promote. Communication is hard, it's been hard for a while which also means I've been making almost no income for the past two and a half months, since October 7th which affected my family and I directly.

Creation = healing.

And if I can get any more of my healing to make someone else shine and self express that would be amazing. ✨

News: Hamas used chemical warfare against Israeli Women. Poisoned grenades that caused choking and inner burns.

You still calling them freedom fighters?

If you do, watch this:

#israel #hamas #palestine

Zionism is a word myself, an Israeli Jew, almost entirely only ever heard by people in the west. It's honestly hilarious how all those people are so disconnected they got this very basic thing wrong, in the same way they think Palestine is an Arabic word (a language that has no P sound)... They also get the entire idea of Zionism wrong and think Israelis actually use this word. 🤣
I only heard it a few times my whole life until this war.

#israel #hamas

A translated quote from my Zionist Dad who's an architecture course leader, teaching those who build Southern #Israel at Sapir university, where many students and teachers died on the 7th of October:
"All minorities in our school, Palestinians, Bedouin, Druze, and those in financial need - get special scholarships and often their entire schooling paid as well as free access to Hebrew learning and private tutoring."
But the entire world wants to think of Zionists as oppressors, got it all wrong

I spent most of the day hysterically crying for no specific reason other than my brain overflowing with stress hormones and my body shaking. Panic attacks every few minutes, OCD in between. But hey, in between those moments I found a relatively quiet hour, put on a podcast about healing and I think I made my most beautiful handmade work yet. Uploading it to my shop now so it will be available in the next 5 minutes here:

What do you think? 🤍

@aral Dear Aral, I am asking again, let's have a call. You can record me if you want, if it helps anything. I think you'll be able to understand me better this way, I hope you respect me enough to do so.

@aral @LALegault Aral, you are taking this information from Hamas. I thought you would have the basic respect to speak to someone from within. I was wrong. The offer is still on the table. Sending love, and hope for peace.

@aral @LALegault Hi Aral. I appreciate you. I'm Israeli. Would you like to have a call to learn from someone who lives through it instead of Jewish people who never even visited and somehow think they have the right to speak from personal experience as if they know what it's like to live in the middle east? I'd be happy to have a call with you, especially if you then let your community know more about it.

Untrue things people assume on me when I say my country has a right to defend my family and friends after nearly dying in a horrific massacre:
5) That I know my culture and history less than people who never even visited
6) That I don't know what the word occupation means while they think my country is still occupying Gaza and often don't even know where the West Bank is
7) That I don't know what the word genocide means (while it is being used in horrifically false ways)

@LALegault Ah no they didn't. Proof?

@LALegault It's one person. Not the UN council.

@LALegault Fucked up things happen there too. But it's not a genocide just because you don't like it.
