"What is now clear is that what started in Gaza is continuing elsewhere in the world. The genocidal US-Israeli war machine is expanding, and by doing so, it is waging war on humanity itself."

Israeli settlers burned Palestinians’ cars and homes during a multi-day rampage in the occupied West Bank – breaking into a Palestinian secondary school and spraying its walls with racist graffiti.
أستغرب حين أرى الحرب تتحول في بعض المقاطع إلى مادة للسخرية والضحك، كأن الألم الذي تعيشه دولٌ يصلح للترفيه.
الحرب ليست نكتة! وليست مادةً للضحك والسخرية يتداولها الناس.
الحرب لحظة ينكسر فيها العالم
بيتٌ يصير رمادًا، وأمٌ تبقى واقفة عند باب تنتظر ابنًا قد لا يعود، ومدينة تتعلم أن تُحصي الغائبين،
بدل أن تُحصي أحلامها.
الحرب خراب يمشي في الشوارع، وخوف يسكن البيوت، ووجوه تشيخ في ليلةٍ واحدة.
من يضحك على الحرب ربما لا يعلم أن هناك أمًا تُراجع أسماء أبنائها
كل مساء، فتصير أكثر صمتًا وأكثر حزنًا.
في الحرب لا يربح أحد، كل ما يحدث أن العالم يفقد شيئًا من إنسانيته، شيئًا لا يعود.
اللهم إنّا نستودعك أوطاننا،
فاحفظها بحفظك، وأدم عليها الأمن والسلام.
هل استشعرت نعمة اليوم العادي؟ 🤲📿
منذ اندلاع الحرب، انتشرت في المنصات منشورات تتضمن فكرة استشعار نعمة اليوم العادي، اليوم المحكوم غالبًا بالروتين المتكرر وقد يهوي في طي النسيان. فاستذكرت مقولة لشاعر يرثي موت زوجته بقوله إنَّ أشد ما يحزنه ويفطر قلبه نسيان أيامه العادية معها، حيث لم يدرك فيض النعمة التي عاشها فيها.
اليوم العادي فيضٌ من النعمة يستحق منا أن نشكر الله عز وجلَّ عليها في كل الأيام، وتستحق منا أن نحبها بكل ما هو عادي فيها.

As my kids grow older I sometimes think about my parents, wondering if they felt the same way about us and if they had the same thoughts ..
Some things truly only make sense when you become a parent yourself ..

President Donald Trump has launched racist attacks and immigration raids targeting the Somali community in the U.S.
The U.S. has bombed Somalia almost every year for the past 13 years – with Trump behind over 70% of such strikes.
Exactly two years ago, the University of Ottawa suspended me from my medical residency training in public health because of social media posts in support of Palestinian human rights. They framed my social media posts as “unprofessional”. The irony being that I studied the impacts of settler colonialism on health in Palestine during my public health training. They messed with the wrong person.
They later reinstated me, without any apology, so I left their racist institution to put my time and energy to places and people who actually deserve it. It’s been a year since I filed a human rights complaint against the university, and they continue to try to dismiss the case with frivolous motions with factual inaccuracies, but the court seems to acknowledge the value in hearing the case. It is blatant discrimination on basis of anti-Palestinian racism. I’m taking them (and the faculty member who doxxed me) to a provincial human rights tribunal to seek accountability and justice.
To anyone else who is facing similar forms of repression for solidarity with Palestine - remember you are on the right side of history. To stand against genocide is the most decent and moral position to take. To oppose genocide as a healthcare worker is the most professional position to take. Keep your head held high. The institutions will come around when there is no political or economic cost to oppose genocide. Until then, we will keep persisting and pushing back against bullies and racist institutions. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.
There is no ceasefire. It's a lie.
More than 200 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government since Trump claimed a ceasefire was achieved. The Israeli government never even stopped bombing Lebanon. They are still committing war crimes.
