Many of us know this brave young woman well...
Ahed Tamimi, 16 years old and a prominent activist in the occupied Palestinian village of Nabi Saleh, whose courage along with that of her family in standing up to armed Israeli soldiers, land confiscation and settlement construction stealing the resources and even the well of their village has become world-renowned, was seized by occupation soldiers who invaded the Tamimi family home on the morning of 19 December 2017.
Ahed’s father, Bassem, posted on Facebook that Ahed was targeted for arrest after she was attacked by Israeli media after she protested occupation soldiers in Nabi Saleh who shot a 14-year-old boy in the head with a rubber-coated metal bullet; the boy, Mohammed Tamimi, is in a medically-induced coma. Tamimi reported that the soldiers violently invaded the home, hitting Ahed’s mother, Nariman Tamimi, and siblings, and confiscating phones, cameras, laptop and other electronics. Ahed was taken away by the occupation soldiers to an unknown location.
The IOF are such cunts!
I'll probably get a lot of hate for this but what difference is there between them and the Gestapo/SS anymore??
They're illegally occupying someone else's land to settle their own people, brutalising the indigenous population whilst systematically eradicating them.
The only difference is that they have better PR!
It's fucking horrendous and the world just sits back and blames the victims. Shame on the western governments for allowing this genocide to continue.
Thanks Lyndsay, kudos to you for speaking out babe.
Thank YOU for speaking out too. Together, with enough voices rising and saying NO we can help to Free Palestine. The True Media is never going to back down, our voices will only multiply.
Resteem hopefully this can grow peoples awareness and I hope she stays strong and it out of her illegal detention very soon!
Thank you very much for spreading the word, and for your big heart Vibe.
It will work out soon when the masses awaken!
Most of us have a voice, but the silence of the world has become deafening. In all honesty I can't say where, when or indeed how this will all end but what I do know is that indeed "silence is consent". Trying to stir the masses on such issues is akin to trying to wake someone from a coma .. that said I'm beginning to see eyes flickering! Thank you for your voice and for using it to highlight this oppression @lyndsaybowes
I'm beginning to see a few more people take notice too.
It's soo hard for me to watch such videos as it breaks my heart. One can not even imagine how heavy ones heart would be living such injustices.
I cannot even imagine the hopelessness I would feel after all these decades of violent oppression as the world stands idly by...Palestinians never give up though! They are SO STRONG!!!
people of palestine is under genocide.it should not be continued..it is high time, we helped palestine
It sure is tough to get the world to wake up when MSM lies about what is happening all around us. Nikki Haley looked like an idiot at the UN yesterday.....vetoing the UN resolution regarding Jerusalem. Not everyone is asleep, but propaganda seems to dominated the minds of the sheeple.
Yep and we just have to keep being the TRUE MEDIA and hope that we can break through the walls of silence and disinformation.
That's all we can do.
Israel never actually won a war, they always man up in gangs against unarmed kids and youth while being armored from head to toes. When they got bombed while occupying south of Lebanon, they ran away so fast they even left their shoes behind and overnight their occupied areas were fully abandoned, crying and whaling in tears, that's their truth.
The world needs to understand that Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in perfect harmony before the Zionist occupation, original Jewish families and tribes are also against the Zionist regime. Also the world needs to understand, Israel itself also is temporary and even the Zionist regime does not care about it, it is just a virus and a part of a plan put there to keep the Middle East destabilized and week so they can work on the grand plan. Israel will not exist by 2022. That is four years from now, and will take less than 2 years for it to fully dissolve.
Thank you so much for having "eyes to see" my friend @phuzz!
Ohh it is so heart breaking.i don,t know that why they do it, this so disgusting.
The world need more brave girls like Ahed Tamimi. thanks for letting me know about this, i was not aware about it.
Thank you so much for caring.
I'm quite tired of my government's support for this regime. My most recent podcast episode focuses on the topic of Israel from an American nationalist perspective.
Hard video to watch.
Great, I'll give your podcast a listen.
It is very sad news all of us. We are not able to do anything for palestine without keep them in our prayers. God, please help them....
Ameen.
true, they are suffering enough. The suffer has made her to be a brave girl. No peace, even a minute. Only a pray can make them strong. Thank for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for knowing the truth about the illegal occupation of Palestine.
God, I can't believe that things like this still happen and repeating.
Who have had the courage to revolt, has been silenced.
This is not an easy case, but it is one in which the widespread public attention it has attracted and international public opinion can really be of use.. that's what I'm hoping for.
All we can do is keep informing others, we all know the mainstream media won't!
Fully agree... in my own little way i resteem this post.
Thank you for spreading the truth.
It's disgusting and that happens on a daily basis, they've been through all sort of shit, phosporus bombings and Gods know what else. We in Europe can't speak bad of the (((elected people))) cause new laws forbid us to.
Law is nothing but words on paper. It's immoral to follow those so-called 'laws'.
I guess what is right to do and what is legal couldn't be more distant than in these days
So brave. So insane this is happening. Prayers for their safety and freedom. I have no words....resteeming.
Thank you so much for spreading the word on the Steem Blockchain Karen!
Thank you for sharing this video with us @lyndsaybowes, what is happening in Palestine and to the Palestinian people is totally unacceptable, I can only imagine the things that are happening that we don't get to see. I really hate to imagine how Ahed Tamimi is being treated as well while she is being held. Resteemed.
Thank you for your huge heart, and conscience. If you'd like to sign this petition, it is to release Ahed, and all Palestinian child prisoners (there are around 500 illegally detained in israeli prisons).

Thank you, I will for sure.
The government of Israel continues with their war crimes. So sad. I hope more and more people wake up to true situation in the Middle East. Governments always want war!! May all governments meet ther just end. Thanks for posting, upvoted and resteemed.
Thank you for sharing this. I'll always remember, silence is consent!
This senselessness should stop please. Why is there so much hate? Oh my God!
Wow! So sad that things like this still happen around the world.
Palestinians are living in a nightmare that won't end. 70 years of this brutal, illegal occupation now. We are in the age of information, so there really is no excuse for the world to be standing by watching ethnic cleansing. Thanks for caring, it sounds like you have a big heart @jewels3.
They have been. They especially shouldn’t be because of where they were in the world 100 years ago. They’ve so gone backwards...
IDF have murdered most of the adult males, now they will continue to murder the children.
There are currently 500 Palestinian children imprisoned by the zionist state :'(
I didnot know that I can't even find the words to explain how wrong that is.
So insane this is happening. Prayers for their safety and freedom. I have no words....resteeming.
happens when you are trying every day to stuff things in your kids head about
bravery of our soldiers,and then they see this girl...
makes me better understanding israel cry for troll voluntaries to defend their cause. its that or cut off the internet.
edit>
Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s hardline defense minister, said Tuesday that the Palestinian teenager would not be the only one to bear the consequences of her actions. "Everyone around her -- not only the girl, but also her relatives -- will not escape what they deserve," Lieberman said at a meeting with Jewish community leadersHunger games anyone?
They just arrested her 21 year old cousin, Nour.
i guess there was too many smartphones and cameras so they couldnt just put a bullet in her head, and paper scalpel in her hand.
still weird how none of billion hamas rockets fired as israel didnt landed on their house so far.
This is so disgusting and disheartening
Thank you for caring about the Palestinians.
all palestine people is a tiger or tigress.....may almighty god help them so that they can achieve their goal
What if God is wondering why WE are not helping?
we have become so low minded people. we can only crocodile tears.we cry for them but not help them.so shameless we are!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks @lyndsaybowes, for his attention to our my brother in Palestine.
Of course. I will never be silent about genocide, ethnic cleansing and oppression.
Its very bad news.Heartbreaking scenes. Allah save them. Ameen
hellow @lyndsaybowes, can we raise our voice on steem against genocide of palestine
Believing that they are Jewish Zionists are not stronger than dogs, they will surely be destroyed, the palestine never surrendered and will never surrender from Zionist Jews.
We need more people to be BRAVE like you and speak out.
You keep speaking up too, one day we will see a #FreePalestine!! Those who have defended the IOF will be so ashamed they supported genocide and ethnic cleansing.
yeah, i agree with you..
perfect example of bravery...
@lyndsaybowes
Its very bad news.Heartbreaking scenes. Allah save them. Ameen
great
I am once again reminded, how wrong it is to judge a person by the colour of their skin.
Nice video.
Good jop
Yeah? What was nice about it?
I like from your video how to deliver you to the viewers all. fast people in understand. and you look polite at the time of delivery. i really like that
So, you understand about the Oppression of the Palestinian people?

Thank you I have seen your videos to present some of our historical stories to us
I hope she stays strong and it out of her illegal detention very soon!
