The murder of #IsmailHaniyeh shows #Israel was never ever serious about making peace. I met him on several occasions & interviewed him in Gaza. A pragmatist & universally admired by those who met him, why would anyone kill the one man who could deliver peace? He presented me with a diplomatic Palestinian passport on one of the happiest days of my life. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
My beloved brother and my hero Wael El-Dahdouh.
Visiting him in his home when I thought I’d only ever meet him in the eternal home we seek was beyond emotion. What do you say to a brother who has lost his mother, wife, kids, grandkids in a genocide for daring to report the truth, yet never once wavers. I’ve never met anyone like him before. Not a word except praise, and not a thought of ever quitting. As his arm heals, his heart aches, yet not a word of complaint. Not a doubt of Allah’s promise of reward, or reunion with his loved ones, or the victory of Gaza.
As the time for prayer came, he insisted I lead. How could I be worthy to read words in front of a man who manifests them behind me. As we sit and I inquire, he says to me in his eloquent Arabic, “how can a man complain about His Lord when He is Al Rahman (the Most Merciful) Al Kareem (the Most Generous) Al Wadud (the Most Loving). I never sought Him through one of His names except that He opened many of His doors.”
And as we sit and hope, his phone starts to ring. The tragedy in Rafah unfolds. The worry overcomes his face. And in every moment of our lives, our hearts still all reside in Palestine. May Allah free it soon, and reunite us with all of its heroes in the highest level of Paradise. Ameen
Several Israeli airstrikes targeted apartment buildings in Gaza’s largest refugee camp, #Jabalia.
At least 50 people were killed, including 19 family members of an Al Jazeera employee. Over 150 were injured with numbers expected to rise.
🇮🇱 Israel just BOMBED Syria’s airports in Aleppo & Damascus.
🇮🇱 Israel just BOMBED a mosque in the West Bank.
I thought Israel said they were just fighting Hamas in Gaza??
🇮🇱 Israel just BOMBED a site in the vicinity of a United Nations school in Khan Younis city, which is a shelter for hundreds of displaced families.
🇮🇱 Israel = ISIS
I watched my youngest daughter coloring her book, then I watched these children in Gaza writing their names on their arms so they can be identified in case they die in the next Israeli airstrike. I wept. Something about seeing the stolen humanity of these Palestinian children before they’re blown to pieces. Cruel and inhumane.

🚨 Sky News: almost 500 Palestinian children killed.
🚨 Sky News: former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett was asked, "What about the babies in incubators in Gaza who's life support has been turned off because the Israelis have cut off the power."
His answer: "Are you serious asking about Palestinian civilians? What's wrong with you?"
We are dealing with Zionist-Nazis.
@jordanbpeterson how does it feel to be an apartheid apologist, a genocide sympathiser and a Zionist-Nazi endorser?
🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israel now has used white phosphorus in military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, putting civilians at risk of serious and long-term injuries.
White phosphorus causes excruciating burns and can set homes afire. Its use in populated areas is unlawful. - Human Rights Watch
"Cancel Pakistan's debt... We have so much debt towards the people that are responsible for [exacerbating the floods]... so we need to clear that, otherwise people will starve.”
@BhuttoZulfikar to me on, the responsibility for climate change, on @MSNBC:
OMG - two very young Palestinian children were left alone in a car, after their parents were detained and taken away by Israeli forces in Beit Safafa, occupied Jerusalem.
