Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.

We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable. This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.

there is another symbol of palestinian resistance that needs more traction: the spoon! the story behind it is really powerful and admirable

Yes, the Gilboa prison break that happened in September 2021. Six Palestinian prisoners used spoons to escape the maximum security Gilboa prison in Israel. They used spoons to dig a hole to escape, and then spoons became a symbol of freedom in Palestine.

There’s a small article about it on Al Jazeera which is also where I found some cool pictures showing how Palestinians use spoons as a symbol of freedom and resistance to honour the 6 prisoners
