We were informed that we had to head to southern Gaza as it was declared a "safe humanitarian zone." On our way south, the road felt like hell itself. A bus carrying a family was bombed, and it was the first time I saw body parts flying through the air. Every kilometer or so, you would see a car, completely charred with the people inside, people who had lives and dreams. These cars were left as they were, and perhaps even run over by tanks.
We reached Khan Younis, where I stayed at the Red Crescent for 90 days. I lived through experiences you cannot even imagine. The Red Crescent was bombed more than 10 times. Death was closer to me than my jugular vein. I could almost taste it, yet it refused to take me, until Israeli tanks surrounded us.
The Israeli forces then stormed the Red Crescent. A soldier stood at the door, cursing and spewing vile, despicable words. He started yelling, "Come out, you animals!"
The path between their tanks was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced in my life. They humiliated us, and they humiliated our women and elderly in the most brutal ways. They took one young man from among us and ordered him to take off his clothes and dance. When he refused, they put a bullet between his eyes.
The road was filled with corpses and tears.
We eventually reached Rafah, but after a short time, I had coordinated with a company, Ya Hala, to evacuate my deaf sisters, who were suffering greatly, to Egypt. Two days before their names were included in the evacuation list, the Israeli army entered Rafah and closed the crossing, forcing us to flee to Deir al-Balah.
I now live in a tent at a UNRWA school in Deir al-Balah. We are surrounded by the Zionists from all sides. They starve us, kill us, and bomb the schools every day. I’ve been displaced more than five times while in Deir al-Balah, from one tent to another, from one form of death to the next. Each time, I begged death to take me, but it refused, as if it found pleasure in my suffering.
This Zionist enemy has inflicted upon us every kind of torture imaginable, under the pretext of "self-defense" and "releasing their hostages."
If they truly wanted their hostages back, they could have ended this genocide in the first month. But instead, they enacted the "Hannibal Directive," which shows they don’t care about their hostages. All they care about is indulging in the killing and diverse methods of slaughtering innocent people.
Yes that video is real. Yes you just watched Palestinians be burned alive in a hospital. Yes one man was still in his hospital bed. Yes you can still speak up about this. Yes you can change your mind. Yes you can start now. Yes we need you to start screaming alongside us.
Another Indigenous man shot dead by police. This brings the count to 5 NATIVE PEOPLE KILLED in Canada BY POLICE WITHIN 11 DAYS- the count may be higher, I’m waiting to confirm. INSANE!
Where is the coverage? Where is the denouncing of this violence? Will the PM speak up or bow a knee?? @JustinTrudeau
Windsor police shot and killed a 57-year-old Indigenous man on the morning of September 6, 2024.

Reprise. Reprise. Reprise.
340 days of this.
Instead of divesting and ending its complicity in Israeli apartheid, @uoft has adopted new repressive regulations that violate our fundamental right to free speech
🚨33 @uoft groups have signed onto a statement condemning these regulations and calling on @uoft to divest 👇
This is actually a very illustrative example of how this is a genocide and not a “war”, Israelis get to live in “paradise” and Pat Bev gets to live in a mansion villa playing basketball 44 miles from a concentration camp where Israel has killed 386K Palestinians
It's honestly taken me a day to process that my dear friend @sabreenaGS lost her job at @sheridancollege bc of her advocacy for Palestine. She's one of my biggest role models; a kind, eloquent, brilliant, principled, & incredibly courageous, female, racialized academic. 1/
Chicago Police knock near 80yo woman to ground w/their batons; don’t let her pick up her cane & refuse to help her up. It perfectly captures the truth of CPD at DNC.
If this is how CPD “protects & serves” old ladies in broad daylight—now you can better understand CPD’s violent repression at night #DNC #FreePalestine
The Israeli government has launched the largest invasion of the West Bank in decades—with fighter jets, drones, armored vehicles, and ground forces.
The goal has always been the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
