Week of February 23, 2024, Wrapped Up: “Trump Hawks $399 Branded Shoes at ‘Sneaker Con,’ a Day After a $355 Million Ruling Against Him”

After 139 days of the Palestinian plight, we are still hurdled by ongoing attempts to silence us and marginalize our voices to the sidelines. Here are the top news stories for this week of February 23, 2024.

“Israelis Dress As Palestinians for Live-Action War Game Set in Gaza”

I am at a loss for words because this Tel Aviv escape room, inspired by the antagonistic Israeli TV series “Fauda” — the Arabic word for “chaos” — emulates the most recent undercover raid on the Ibn Sina hospital in Jenin, West Bank. This is in addition to the fact that the game perpetuates the deeply ingrained Savior Complex that colonizers from all centuries and millennia harbor. Keep in mind that, in light of the vastly outnumbered indiscriminate assaults on occupied Palestinian territories, there is no Hamas in the West Bank, which gives us an iron-clad footing upon which we can proceed.

“Macron Says Recognizing a Palestinian State Is Not a Taboo for France”

This statement not only blatantly displays hypocrisy and double standards, but it also perfectly captures the real-world manifestation of the Hero Syndrome when played by the leader of the 21st century’s Harbingers of Liberty. Not to be harsh or denigrate Macron, but what about the hijab ban and the acts of violence targeting Muslim mothers residing in France? Given that you uphold and protect human rights, why is it that Muslim women living under your rule are destined to feel frightened and insecure?

“U.S. Vetoes Security Council Cease-Fire Resolution”

Here we have another day in which the Nation of the People continues to fulfill its duty of sabotaging the will of the majority of its people in front of the entire world with its unwavering commitment to continue the cycle of chaos and destruction.

“U.N. Blames Security Collapse As Aid Deliveries to Gaza Dry Up”

You know language matters when you notice that not a single headline has covered the story from a viewpoint that focuses on the Israeli citizens who prevented relief trucks from entering and the Israeli forces who have increased their ground operations and attacks on Palestinians stationed in the now-overly congested Rafah. But yes, the United Nations is assigning blame rather than carrying out its mandate.

“Trump Hawks $399 Branded Shoes at ‘Sneaker Con,’ a Day After a $355 Million Ruling Against Him”

Seeing the opportunistic former president Trump using his business experience to debut a branded shoe line to fund the fines that have skyrocketed to a soaring half-billion dollars does not surprise me in the slightest.

While this week of February 23 does not pinpoint any signs of approaching justice or a permanent ceasefire, we are persisting and proud of everyone who is still fighting the fight toward the proclamation of freedom.
