The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
"I ask you now: Do not stop talking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Continue to struggle, and continue to tell our stories—until Palestine is free."
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
الرسالة الأخيرة للزميل #حسام_شبات والتي طلب نشرها بعد استشهاده
"إذا كنتم تقرأون هذا، فهذا يعني أنني قُتلت - على الأرجح مستهدفًا - على يد قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي. عندما بدأ كل هذا، كنت في الحادية والعشرين من عمري فقط - طالبًا جامعيًا لديه أحلام كأي شخص آخر. على مدار الثمانية عشر شهرًا الماضية، كرّست كل لحظة من حياتي لشعبي. وثّقت الأهوال في شمال غزة دقيقة بدقيقة، مصممًا على أن أُظهر للعالم الحقيقة التي حاولوا دفنها. نمت على الأرصفة، وفي المدارس، وفي الخيام - أينما استطعت. كان كل يوم معركة من أجل البقاء. تحملت الجوع لشهور، ومع ذلك لم أفارق شعبي أبدًا.
والله، لقد أدّيت واجبي كصحفي. خاطرت بكل شيء لأنقل الحقيقة، والآن، أخيرًا استرحت - وهو أمر لم أعرفه خلال الثمانية عشر شهرًا الماضية. فعلت كل هذا إيمانًا بالقضية الفلسطينية. أؤمن أن هذه الأرض لنا، وكان أسمى شرف في حياتي أن أموت دفاعًا عنها. هي وخدمة أهلها.
أسألكم الآن: لا تتوقفوا عن الحديث عن غزة. لا تدعوا العالم يُشيح بنظره عنها. استمروا في النضال، واستمروا في رواية قصصنا - حتى تتحرر فلسطين.
— للمرة الأخيرة، حسام شبات، من شمال غزة.

Not every Jew is personally responsible for the genocide, but world Jewry, as a collective, definitely is. Without its overwhelming support of Zionism for eight decades, the colonial genocidal project of Israel would have never been able to grow into the monster it currently is.
Unstoppable tears and a cry choked by simple words: ‘We just want to live.’
In Ad-Dirat, east of Yatta, the occupation didn’t just demolish the walls of a house; they carved an indelible scar into this child’s heart.
One-and-a-half-year-old Essam Al-Nabih weighs just 5 kilograms and is fighting for his life after suffering severe malnutrition and hydrocephalus, a condition caused by fluid buildup in the brain.
Born during Israel's genocide at a normal weight, his health deteriorated after his mother’s malnutrition and the collapse of living conditions in Gaza left her unable to breastfeed him.
Doctors have approved an urgent medical referral for treatment outside Gaza, but Essam remains trapped as Israeli restrictions on the movement of people and the closure of crossings prevent him from accessing specialised care.
His family says doctors have warned that his chances of survival are now extremely slim and are calling on international organisations to intervene before it is too late.

"Democracy" in an imperialist state is nothing but a sham. As Lenin famously exposed, it simply means choosing which member of the ruling class will oppress you every few years. You cannot separate the politics from the base: imperialist democracy is just imperialism.
