A man praying on top of stacked containers several feet high was pushed off of it yesterday by a uniformed soldier. Broad day light. On cameras. And the government is tweeting on the very app they banned to stop videos like that from being seen that nothing is happening.
Her name is Sidra … the girl that was dangling from the wall with her legs blown off.
Sidra… I will never forget that name to the last day of my life, along with that image.
Sidra
The images from Gaza of the Rafah massacre by Israel last night look like a horror movie. Children dangling with limbs blown off, or crawling screaming with their dying breaths. Parents picking up the heads of their babies that are barely recognizable. The hundreds stacked like bodies in a slaughterhouse.
The fact that their stories will be erased in mainstream media while videos are being suppressed on social media tells you all you need to know. Any semblance of international law or standard for humanity is dead. Palestinian life under occupation never mattered to you before, so our deaths under genocide don’t matter to you now.
Don’t ever lecture us on morality again. Your hearts are dead.

There is no argument good enough to justify eviction of any refugees, let alone those who have painstakingly built entire lives in Pakistan.
But this shameless govt fails to offer any, even half-baked, logic for it. Just a show of force against the most vulnerable.
An Israeli airstrike targeted the Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on Tuesday night, October 17. Witnesses and journalists on the ground are reporting scenes of a massacre, with bodies everywhere, while parts of the hospital remained ablaze for hours.
I cannot believe I’m writing this… The Israeli Occupation bombards the Anglican Hospital in the middle of Gaza City, targeting its doctors, patients, and the hundreds of displaced Palestinians taking shelter inside.
Dear world,
Israel just bombed a Christian hospital in Gaza and murdered over 500 Palestinian civilians. White phosphorus chemical bombs confirmed by human rights watch was not enough to open your eyes. Over 1000 dead children wasn’t enough. Will you open your eyes and act now?
400 children.
The death toll in Gaza has now surpassed that. And the children are literally being pulled out with their limbs found in different places due to the impact of the blasts. This is not including the overall civilian death toll, the lost homes, the trauma, the starvation, the shut off water and electricity, the destruction of the hospital system, & the erasure of journalists to tell you their story.
Let’s agree that the murder of children is always evil no matter who does it. How do you feel knowing that Israel is murdering Palestinian children with full US weaponry and sanction, and the President and your favorite celebrities don’t have a word to say about it. By the way, collective punishment is a war crime by international legal consensus. But so is apartheid and that didn’t seem to matter either.
There is a violent witch hunt taking place against Afghan refugees in Pakistan right now, right under your noses. People who escaped brutality & have struggled to make a life for themselves often by doing the most exploitative kinds of work, & almost everyone is silent about it.
Israel’s violent siege has turned Gaza into the largest open-air prison in the world.
For the past 16 years, Israel has subjected the Palestinians who live there to inhumane living conditions.
No human should have to live like that.
Every org needs to implement at least a 2-day wfh right now. People are dying financially just getting to work: how is this not an emergency? Managers, bosses, HR people: how are you NOT doing this proactively?
