Complaining about nightlife when you *checks notes* choose to live in Soho is like living in South Kensington and complaining about the museums.

Or moving to Hackney and grumbling about creatives. Living in Richmond and hating green space. 

It's all getting a bit silly, isn't it?

[Sammy Obeid @SammyObeid]

If someone tries to run you over, and you shoot them to prevent it, that’s self-defense.

If you kind of but not really almost get hit by a car because you’re standing near the front corner, harassing a driver with no actual legal authority, and then once you’re out of harms way, you shoot the driver… you’re just a murderer who made your own uniform.

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Jesus.

The enemy is not hunger. The enemy is Israel.

[matt bernstein @mattxiv]

there is no justice for this. a stain on humanity that will never wash out. i hope it haunts every politician who abetted it, every media person who laundered it, every university president who destroyed students for protesting it. even then, there is no justice. free palestine

Probably for the same reason there are so many more planets in outer space now than there were before the telescope was invented

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

How long before Sky’s editorial team takes this video down — or is that just for fascist football thugs?

Do not look away. This is genocide, and the UK government is an active participant.

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

We saw 2 attacks today

Hezbollah targeted a military base and the casualties were soldiers

Israel targeted Civilian tents near a hospital and burnt children alive.

Israel is a TERRORIST STATE

[Mohammad @MargBarAmerica]

every child you see with mangled legs being hopelessly carried, every person you see lit on fire, all the dust covered faces, they were a whole universe. to themselves and everybody they knew. lives as complex, joyful and difficult as yours. it kills me. i’ll never get numb to it

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If the sight of human beings burning alive won’t stop the UK government supplying arms to Israel, what will?

[reb @rebmasel]

“what radicalized you?” probably my basic human empathy

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Stop selling arms to Israel then.
