Gaza Soup Kitchen: Chef Mahmoud, Dedicated to Serving Palestinian Civilians, Assassinated by Israeli Drone

Gaza Soup Kitchen, which coordinates humanitarian aid efforts in Gaza, has issued a statement regarding the tragic death of Chef Mahmoud. This morning, Chef Mahmoud was assassinated by an Israeli drone as he stepped out of his home to begin his daily routine at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Known for his unwavering commitment to serving Palestinian civilians, Mahmoud played a critical role in ensuring the hospital had the supplies it needed.

The statement emphasized that Mahmoud’s assassination was a deliberate attack on his efforts to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. His work had become a lifeline for many, standing in defiance of the systematic destruction and displacement being carried out.

“This news is devastating. Just yesterday, Mahmoud shared his plans and ongoing efforts to support the community. Today, his absence leaves a void deeply felt by his grieving family and the thousands of families who relied on his support,” Gaza Soup Kitchen officials said.

Mahmoud leaves behind seven children. His youngest is only two weeks old, while his eldest is still hospitalized, recovering from severe injuries sustained in a prior Israeli drone attack. Gaza Soup Kitchen asked, “How do you explain such a loss to a child?”

His absence is a profound loss for his family and the northern Gaza community. Gaza Soup Kitchen stressed the vital importance of Mahmoud’s contributions and highlighted how his tragic death underscores the immense challenges faced by the Palestinian people.

“Despite this sorrow, we remain steadfast. Mahmoud’s memory will continue to symbolize justice and resilience. We condemn this cowardly attack, which targeted not only Mahmoud but also the survival and dignity of the Palestinian people.”

Gaza Soup Kitchen called on the international community to urgently act to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities. Mahmoud’s legacy will endure as a testament to the resilience of the Palestinian people and their unyielding pursuit of justice.

It's probably foolish to think a NYC mayor will successfully translate into being a national political figure, but I still think Eric Adams would be in my top 5 for "who will be the next Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden?".

@BMarchetich This is staggering and obviously wildly underreported. Appreciate you for sharing.

It's kind of exhausting to even relate this, but yesterday a bunch of reps from the hostage families org were abruptly summoned for a meeting with Netanyahu. At the meet they were joined by three other parents associated with the far right - and by some guy they didn't recognise

It takes so much strength, compassion, and humanity to say no to vengeance while mourning. Noi, I also lost my brother in the 1st Intifada, but we are NOT enemies. We are brothers in pain and in our struggle to end the cycle of bloodshed. With you in solidarity!

@Bernstein Hmm. It felt like Lydia responding to the surreality of her public persona falling apart. It had a disjointed and hallucinatory quality, and I saw reasons to question her recollection of events, not whether the events actually happened. Tell us where your head’s at, Joe!

fwiw, my mom is Oaxacan. This kind of rhetoric is nothing new, especially in the Latino community. But when it comes from politicians, it means Indigenous folks are an afterthought to government policies and programs, @OdiliaRomero told me.

I can't get over this. The Chinese paddlefish survived for 190 MILLION YEARS. It survived the mass extinction event that killed off the dinosaurs. It had existed on Earth for almost one thousand times longer than Homo Sapiens - yet we destroyed it, forever.

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.

This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵
