Glory to the martyrs of Gaza. Glory to the resistance of Gaza. Glory to the steadfast people of Gaza who endured the most unfathomable violence so they can live to see this day. Gaza will never be defeated❤️
Our people deserve rest. Let them count their dead and rebuild their lives.
But they must not be abandoned. See the ceasefire through, and work until we cease apartheid and occupation too.
Praying for scenes of joy in Gaza, and for the endurance of those scenes beyond.
I hope people realise that the ceasefire is for the Palestinians in Gaza. Absolutely nothing changes for the rest of us in dismantling Zionism and fighting for a free Palestine. No pauses, no breaks, no rest until every inch of Palestine is free.
By the Gods’ hands, by the incomprehensible chance of the cosmos, we have been given this Earth. And a handful of a handful of people are annihilating it, taking it from us and the future us. That reality is infinitely more radical, more extreme than any person protesting it.
He died an honorable death. A warrior's death, among his men, one with his people, in defense of his land against a genocidal intruder, occupier, and colonizer.
The last episode of Sinwar's life could not have been better written by the most gifted playwright: not in a tunnel, a secret bunker, or a far-off palace, and not while engaging in some unworthy act. He died resisting.

If there's one word I could think of to describe this ending, it is Hemingwayan. This was like a scene from a Hemingway novel about Palestine (I have no doubt who Hemingway would support in this conflict).
Seeing it, I was reminded of the ending of For Whom the Bell Tolls, with the rebels holding positions on a hill with the fascists closing in on them with airplanes and machine guns, knowing they have no chance of surviving.
In his final moments, Sinwar knew that was it for him. But he did not break. A proud Palestinian, Gazan, and Muslim to his last breath.

He was born in 1962 in Khan Yunis to a family of 1948 refugees from Al-Majdal; he was 5 when Israel occupied Gaza, and never let go to this day (but it will, eventually).
In his last act of defiance, he threw some debris at an IDF drone, and I got to thinking: did he, as a young boy, also throw stones at IDF soldiers in Gaza?

What that refugee who spent 22 years in an Israeli prison started on October 7 is going to change world history for good. The process is only in its initial phases.
130 americans are dead and whole towns are under water and I’ve seen more US politicians share prayers for Israel over the course of one day than prayers for their own american people trying to survive the aftermath of a hurricane for days
.@jonstewart and Ta-Nehisi Coates discuss Coates's trip to Palestine and his revelation that "your oppression will not save you" from his book, "The Message"
If you thought climate protesters blocking roads or throwing soup at art behind bullet proof glass was ‘too disruptive’ you’re gonna hate this next part
CNN’s reporter in Tel Aviv just made sure to describe in vivid terms that the Iranian strikes targeted densely populated areas which unfairly places civilians lives at risk.
So it’s been a choice all along to omit that context re Gaza and Lebanon.
Flooding is hitting >every continent in the world< hard.
Can this be the moment, the majority gets it: If we don’t deal with this thing, it’s going to be the end of us.
