Heute ist Genocide Day in Namibia. In Deutschland stockt die Erinnerung. Für Hamburger Bürgermeister ist Dokuzentrum eine exzentrische Idee. Für die taz schrieb ich über die DOPPELTE STAATSRÄSON, und wie sie Erinnern, Gedenken und Lernen verhindert.

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
1/5 We are extremely concerned over the fate & wellbeing of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was detained by Israeli forces along with others during a raid on the hospital on 27 December. He must be released immediately and unconditionally.
Stand in solidarity with Gaza! As soon as you sign up, we will send you instructions on the next steps, including fasting recipes and more! https://t.co/YDz2GuWsCD
NGOs confirm Israeli restrictions block relief efforts. Now @UNRWA is barred from entering northern #Gaza! @SecBlinken@POTUS admin must act urgently under NSM20 #StopSendingArms#CeasefireNOW

📍# Gaza: as of today, @UNRWA, the main lifeline for #Palestine Refugees, is denied from providing lifesaving assistance to northern Gaza.
Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any @UNRWA food convoys to the north.
This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine.
These restrictions must be lifted.
UNRWA is the largest organisation with the highest reach to displaced communities in Gaza.
By preventing UNRWA to fulfill its mandate in Gaza, the clock will tick faster towards famine & many more will die of hunger, dehydration + lack of shelter.
This cannot happen, it would only stain our collective humanity.
