DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Last summer, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip celebrated the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha the way it’s supposed to be: with large family feasts, meat shared with those less fortunate, and new clothes and gifts for children.
But this year, after eight months of devastating war between Israel and Hamas, many families will eat canned food in stifling tents. There’s hardly any meat or livestock at local markets, and no money for holiday treats or presents — only war, hunger and misery, with no end in sight.
“There is no Eid this year,” said Nadia Hamouda, whose daughter was killed in the war and who fled from her home in northern Gaza months ago and is staying in a tent in the central town of Deir al-Balah. “When we hear the call to prayer, we cry over those we lost and the things we lost, and what has happened to us, and how we used to live before.”
Gaza was impoverished and isolated even before the war, but people still managed to celebrate by hanging up colorful decorations, surprising children with treats and gifts, and purchasing meat or slaughtering livestock to share with those less fortunate.
“It was a real Eid,” Hamouda said. “Everyone was happy, including the children.”
Now much of Gaza is in ruins...

Today Gaza is like Florida, most other days like southern California.
The Muzzies could gain some cred if they’d bomb the NYT.
Why don’t you pathetic losers stop hating.
Give that a shot you miserable f-tards.
Quotes from Greenfield:
In Luxor, Egypt, the terrorists danced, sang and killed and mutilated the foreign tourists. They “took all the young women, the girls, and disappeared with them. I don’t know where they went with the women, but they hurt them. We could hear screams of pain.” Among the dead was Shaunnah Turner, a 5-year-old British girl.
When a Muslim terrorist set off a bomb in Manchester at a concert full of children and teens, there was shock and outrage. Nails were pulled out of children’s faces.
When Muslims gang raped and sawed in half a Hindu schoolteacher in Kashmir, it was about India’s treatment of Muslims. And when they rampaged through the Bataclan theater in Paris, killing everyone within reach, they were protesting France’s treatment of ISIS. And when they rape a woman at a concert in Israel by the bodies of her murdered friends, they’re protesting for Gaza.
in 1929, Muslim mobs in the Jewish city of Safed burst into an orphanage and “smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands.” During the Hebron Massacre that same year, a British policeman described how, “on hearing screams in a room I went up a sort of tunnel passage and saw an Arab in the act of cutting off a child’s head with a sword. He had already hit him and was having another cut, but on seeing me he tried to aim the stroke at me, but missed
When a Muslim chronicle boasted that during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, “the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people”, was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Or was this just Islam.
A Yazidi girl abducted by the Islamic State when she was only 12 described how the Jihadist who raped her explained to her that because she “practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it”. He “bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again”. The girl begged him to stop, but he “said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to Allah.”
In Nigeria, Boko Haram has set off bombs in churches on Christmas. In 2015, a Muslim couple opened fire at a workplace Christmas party in San Bernardino, California, while a year later a Muslim terrorist drove through a Christmas market in Berlin and a 12-year-old Muslim boy tried to detonate a nail bomb at another Christmas market in Germany.
In Algeria, they beheaded Trappist monks while in Thailand, they beheaded Buddhist monks. In Boston, they blew the legs off marathon runners while in France they drove a truck through a crowd on Bastille Day until the wheel well filled up with body parts.
We must reject terms like “senseless violence” because there is nothing senseless about it. Our enemies know who they are and what they want. We refuse to understand who they are.

FRom your lips to God’s ear!
100,000,000 of us cannot be overcome!
MAGA!
Well, they asked for it. They can blame it on their Hammy pals.
“Gaza was impoverished and isolated even before the war,”
Not from the pictures I saw. They had so much food they exported as a sold much of it.
Even the woman quoted in the screed lamented of how good things used to be that they had food to give away on Eid.
EC
The “palistinians” voted for and support hamas. They started the war. They now have a problem when those who they attacked finish it. Tough luck. Who cares?
Well I suggest that if they don’t like the effects of war that they stop waging war!
They should get a bunch of musicians together - call themselves Band Help, or Band Aid, something clever. They could do a song and call it “Do They Know it’s Eid.” They’ll sell dozens of downloads.
Time for a new muslim holiday -
“FAFO”
Maybe Islam needs to find a way to joy that doesn’t focus on finding joy through harming others.
10/7/2023!
They should release the hostages.
Amos 1:6-8 NASBS
Thus says the LORD, “For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom. [7] “So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels. [8] “I will also cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, And him who holds the scepter, from Ashkelon; I will even unleash My power upon Ekron, And the remnant of the Philistines will perish,” Says the Lord GOD.
Oh those poor terrorists! Typical Ass Press crap.
That’s funny. Muslim holidays mostly remind me of terrorism, intolerance, and death.
EMP over Iran, napalm from the north to the Egyptian border of the Gaza strip and tell Turkey to STFU.
Every single supporter of Hamas throughout the world is notified that they are a known threat to the Israeli people and due to the existential threat are considered an enemy of the state.
I can’t wait till the bored little white liberals get a knock on the door from the Mossad.
Islamic ‘joyous holidays’ are usually celebrated by killing someone.
