Radical love is a form of death. A relentless self-examination in which fear, hate and ego die daily to be reborn into courage, love, and a sacrificial self
I made a cup of coffee and sat down to revise for my 4th year finals — and suddenly, everything came flooding back.
The last two and a half years.
The bombs.
The hunger.
The displacement.
The fear.
The hospitals under attack.
The universities destroyed.
The training hospitals damaged.
The healthcare system collapsing.
The academic system collapsing.
My professors killed.
My colleagues and friends gone.
I was a medical student… and a volunteer in hospitals while bombs fell around us.
I kept studying while starving.
I kept attending lectures while displaced.
I kept going while everything around me was falling apart.
There were days I couldn’t breathe from the weight of it all.
Days I was broken.
Depressed.
Exhausted.
Convinced I couldn’t carry any more.
But then the Gazan spirit appeared.
The one thing they can never destroy.
We grieve.
We break.
We fall.
Then we rise — like a phoenix from the ashes.
Against every possible condition,
I did something I never thought I could.
I survived.
I continued.
I endured.
I didn’t give up.
Today, I’m still here.
Stronger.
More determined.
Still fighting for my future.
Still fighting for my people.
Still choosing hope,
even in the darkest time.
This is not just resilience.
This is Gaza.
This is the spirit of Gaza.
This is our resistance through life.
This is how we survive.
Since Oct 8, Israel has acted with total impunity.
They kill children.
They kill doctors.
They kill nurses.
They kill teachers.
They kill academics.
And they kill my colleagues — journalists. Yesterday’s Al Jazeera team was targeted. This is no accident.
🚨Palestinian students graduated as doctors from the Latin American School of Medicine (ELAM) in Havana.
As a gesture of gratitude, they gifted their Kuffiyehs to the Provost of the University.
While #Cuba promotes solidarity with those in need, imperialism promotes genocide.
The fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate and necessary.
The U.S., not anyone else, is responsible for the #FentanylCrisis inside the U.S. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards the American people, we have taken robust steps to assist the U.S. in dealing with the issue. Instead of recognizing our efforts, the U.S. has sought to smear and shift blame to China, and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with tariff hikes. They’ve been PUNISHING us for helping them. This is not going to solve the U.S.’s problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation.
Intimidation does not scare us. Bullying does not work on us. Pressuring, coercion or threats are not the right way of dealing with China. Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy and miscalculating. If the U.S. truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals.
If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.

We dedicate 2025 to honoring the centennial of Malcolm X’s birth—a revolutionary whose fierce commitment to overcoming racism and imperialism resonates in our struggles today. His rallying cry, “Time for our people to organize!” is a powerful reminder that collective action and study are urgent and essential in our fight for liberation.
In the spirit of Malcolm’s legacy, we embrace and echo his call for “the oppressed masses of the world [to] cry out for action against the common oppressor,” urging people everywhere to unite and stand firm against all forms of injustice.
Join us at The People’s Forum as we celebrate 100 years of Malcolm X through actions, discussions, classes, events, and mobilizations that reflect his enduring influence and our commitment to struggle together. Let’s ignite a movement rooted in solidarity and action, ensuring that his vision of a future without oppression and exploitation inspires us to transform the present. #MalcolmX #2025
