[Redi Tlhabi @RediTlhabi]

Bingo! That's their predictable style. Deny! Deny! Deny! Get their supporters in a frenzy as they gaslight us from every corner of the world. "Israel doesn't kill children...." Or "She was being used as a human shield." And then 2 years later, when they HOPE the world has forgotten.."Oopsie...we killed her." And that's why we must never stop caring, never stop speaking. Never stop remembering.

the largest mass funeral in recorded history, and not a peep from mainstream western media.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

"We are not defaming you, Israel. We are describing you." 👏 👏 👏 👏

You thought Epstein Island was bad?

Israel built the only military prison in the world designated for children.

Children are subjected to beatings, torture, and rape on a regular basis.

Conviction rates in courts reach 99.7%.

This applies only to non-jewish children.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.”

Read that again.

[Yipeng Ge 葛义朋 @yipengGe]

Exactly two years ago, the University of Ottawa suspended me from my medical residency training in public health because of social media posts in support of Palestinian human rights. They framed my social media posts as “unprofessional”. The irony being that I studied the impacts of settler colonialism on health in Palestine during my public health training. They messed with the wrong person.

They later reinstated me, without any apology, so I left their racist institution to put my time and energy to places and people who actually deserve it. It’s been a year since I filed a human rights complaint against the university, and they continue to try to dismiss the case with frivolous motions with factual inaccuracies, but the court seems to acknowledge the value in hearing the case. It is blatant discrimination on basis of anti-Palestinian racism. I’m taking them (and the faculty member who doxxed me) to a provincial human rights tribunal to seek accountability and justice.

To anyone else who is facing similar forms of repression for solidarity with Palestine - remember you are on the right side of history. To stand against genocide is the most decent and moral position to take. To oppose genocide as a healthcare worker is the most professional position to take. Keep your head held high. The institutions will come around when there is no political or economic cost to oppose genocide. Until then, we will keep persisting and pushing back against bullies and racist institutions. Free Palestine, from the river to the sea.

83% of Gaza's buildings have been destroyed. 10s of thousands of civilians have been killed. Countless more injured, orphaned and forever mamed. Hospitals and schools destroyed. These results of Israel's genocide are a source of shame for all humanity and nothing to celebrate.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Just a few meters away from us, entire families remain trapped beneath the rubble. There is no press here, no one to document this pain. For long hours, people have been trying to rescue them with nothing but simple tools, weak hammers that cannot break through the heavy concrete. There are no machines, no bulldozers, no rescue teams !!!
The ambulances never stop, their sirens tearing through the silence of the night. Darkness covers the city, and fear and chaos fill the streets. It feels as if we are living through the end of the world in these very moments.
Every passing minute takes another life. Those still alive beneath the rubble are slowly suffocating, and those who make it out alive emerge broken, bleeding, with no medicine and no treatment. The hospitals are helpless, the streets are overwhelmed with the injured, and the suffering is beyond what words can hold.
The situation here is catastrophic in every sense. The city is collapsing before our eyes, house by house, street by street, until its very features disappear. All that remains is dust, the smell of death, and the sirens of ambulances that never cease.
Save what is left of us before we all die. Stop this insane war.

Every American should know this.

[mahaedwan @mahaedwan171934]

My father returned today from the American aid distribution point. When he came home, he looked completely exhausted. A short while later, I overheard him telling my mother what he saw there.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

It’s 6:45 A.M. in Gaza now. Israel opens fire at aid seekers.

I’m tired. When will I stop posting about this?
When you will you stop this?
Please stop just reading. Do something. These lives are very precious.

More people should know that the BBC's Middle East online editor is a former CIA employee and Mossad collaborator.

Until now, I still can’t explain to myself how I carried 27 dismembered bodies and placed them on the donkey cart.

They love human shields, don’t they!

@Madie_Bapela @ComradesRace I saw children in the crush complaining that they could not breathe. We nearly had a stampede or disaster. Please do better.
