“It’s necessary for Palestinians to die because otherwise Israelis would never be able to exterminate Hamas!” “Iraqi citizens had to die because the US had to retaliate for the Iran-backed drone attack!” When will you learn that Arab people are not just collateral fucking damage. When will you learn they are not a means to an end. When will you stop dehumanizing Arab people in your endless attempts to justify the mindless slaughter that has been taking place for years, but which has intensified beyond belief the last four months. Why do you need to be told to treat Arab people like they’re human. Why do you need to be told this. Why do you need to be told.

Palestinian landmarks have been completely demolished in the name of exterminating Hamas. Thousands upon thousands of Palestinians have been killed in ways so brutal that some on-site journalists have admitted that they couldn’t bring themselves to press down on the camera. Children and women are living in famine, in sickness, in agony every day. How could you look at all that and use the same tired excuse of “Well we have to take care of Hamas!!” like why are you so anti-Arab racist that it causes you to be out of touch with your own humanity? How do you have it in your heart to see innocent citizens murdered as nothing but collateral damage? How would you react if it were your family that was genocided? How would you react if it were you?

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.
