There are four museums in Gaza, and two have been levelled, the International Council of Museums-Arab (ICOM-Arab) confirmed to Al Jazeera…

Gaza’s Tourism and Antiquities Ministry estimated that as many as 104 mosques have been damaged or destroyed since the start of the Israeli assault. This includes the Othman bin Qashqar Mosque in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, which was built in 1220 at the site where Prophet Muhammad’s great-grandfather is believed to have been buried…

“All our heritage sites are clearly marked, yet the Israeli military strikes, the tanks and the bulldozers continue,” the archaeologist said. “But I have faith all this will end. Even if they attempt to destroy our past, we will build back Gaza’s future.”

        Ah yes, seeing how Israel chokes every basic necessity from all the people of Gaza is propaganda. Not justifying how bombing hospitals, schools, refugee camps, water desalinization plants, and public infrastructure for months with no end because tunnels that were built due to the blockade. On top of shutting off the water, electricity, all imports, and international aid on top of it because Gaza has always been under Israeli military control. Tell me more how Israeli retaliation is always fair game and Palestinians retaliation never is. how is it not an apartheid again?

        you’re spreading propaganda. The tunnels are fair game for airstrikes.

        The irony.
