A large military force is headed toward #Nur_Shams . This is the first incursion of either of the refugee camps in the last 2 weeks. The Israeli army carried out several nightly raids in #Tulkarem over the past 2 weeks, resulting in arrests. I report when bulldozers are involved.

There's a fourth aspect to consider: the exceptionalization, sensationalization, exploitation, and misrepresentation of Palestinians and/or their cause and suffering. These practices often overshadow the authentic narratives of Palestinians and occur among both friends and foes.
