Sometimes the media says “there are no words” to describe or justify horrific attacks on hospitals. Other times, the media has countless words to describe and justify horrific attacks on hospitals.

Left-wing Israelis. This is the best that Israel can offer.

It's a given that Israelis have dehumanised Palestinians to a level beyond being sub-human to them, but it's seems that they have now abstracted Palestinians to the point of nonexistence so they can pretend Palestinians don't occupy the places they inhabit.

Red the full article.

People who are talking about October 7th saying it's not "justified resistance" seem to always forget that they bulldozed the fence locking Gazans into a concentration camp.

On October 7, Gaza broke out of prison

What the images of the Gaza border fence coming down meant for Palestinians.

People talk about this so little that I felt like I was making it up in my mind. But this was one of the most impactful images for Palestinians ever, im so glad that i didnt just imagine it.

Look, I firmly believe that anyone who still uses variations of "but Hamas" as a response to the daily horrifying documentation of this genocide is not saying it with conviction but rather as cover. 

Because if it's about Hamas, then why is Israel preventing cancer patients from leaving Gaza for treatment?

If it's about Hamas, why is Israel preventing baby formula from entering the strip?

If it’s about Hamas, then why are children getting sniped in the head?

I can go on but that won't be necessary because it's abundantly clear that it’s not about Hamas, never been.

It’s imperative to understand that it’s not only us who know the answers to the above questions, but Zionists know them too, and they know we know that.

At this stage, and on day 256 of this acceleration of genocide, this so-called argument can only be viewed as a sick deflection to allow more war crimes to be committed against Palestinians, and absolutely nothing else.

Eric Andre is Jewish btw. I feel like a lot of people assume he isn't bc of racism or bc they assume every word out of his mouth is sarcastic but he is Jewish and has talked about it.

Illustrated poetry: ‘Oh rascal children of Gaza’

Rafah-born author and poet Khaled Juma wrote a heartbreaking tribute to the children of the Gaza Strip amidst the missiles striking his hometown. At least 506 Palestinian children have been killed since Israel commenced its latest invasion of Gaza on July 8, 2014

Happy Pride Month

76 years since my grandparents have been forcibly expelled from Jerusalem.

7 months since l've been forcibly expelled from my home in Gaza City.

One of those children killed in Rafah today is a 7 month old baby (tw: graphic) whose parents were both killed in an Israeli strike 7 months ago. Hani, named after his father, was born through an emergency C-section performed on his dying mother. The doctors managed to rescue him then but today, Hani too was killed by Israel.

Think about how Hani's entire lifespan, from birth to death, was dictated by Israel's genocide. As his aunt put it "born in genocide, died in genocide". This is a kind of evil one cannot describe in words.

Hani is why we fight this insanity. Remember him when you advocate and agitate for Palestine along with the 15,000 other children like him who did not get a chance to grow up and live an average life, because Israel deemed them all an existential threat.
