“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion but to allow a very lively debate within a narrow section of that spectrum. “

🚨 Tomorrow, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya faces a hearing to rubberstamp the extension of his arbitrary detention — without charges or trial – for another six months. Dr. Hussam should have never been detained in the first place, let alone subjected to this ordeal of torture and abuse. Israel must immediately and unconditionally release Dr. Hussam and all arbitrarily detained Palestinians.

I will stay here in Gaza City for no reason other than that I know very well that this time, leaving it would be without return. I will stay here in Gaza not out of love for death, although I have sought it, yet it has repeatedly gone astray from my path. I will stay here in Gaza because I want my words to do what the camera could not: I will document the eyes of people as they rush to find their place, and I will write about the last tree I took shelter under, about the last building, and about the last family who lived in that building, and about my torn tent when winter falls upon it.
Now, in these moments, the madness of this occupation has erupted, demolishing entire towers and residential blocks. People lie exhausted in the streets, not knowing where to go in the darkness of this night.
I will stay here in Gaza to turn memories into a testimony that does not die. After my death, these words will stand as witnesses to what my heart has endured over the past two years.
This is indeed devastating: an extremely detailed investigative journalism piece by mainstream Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant looked in minute details into 114 cases of young Palestinian children with single gunshot wounds to the head or chest.
Their conclusion? That the overwhelming evidence points to deliberate, targeted shooting of children, primarily by snipers.

I just rode my bicycle through the streets of Gaza!!
I captured this video while cycling so you can see the scale of destruction around me and the harsh reality we are living.
Please share it so the world can see us...
