“I have not betrayed my people. It is they who have betrayed the tenets of Judaism, which were always full of compassion.”

Miriam denounces Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, sharing she has lost friends and family members over her outspoken views.

[‏Martyrs of Gaza @GazaMartyrs]

This is my will and my final message.

If my words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.
First, peace, mercy, and blessings be upon you.

God knows that I have given all my effort and strength to be a support and a voice for my people since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would grant me life to return with my family and loved ones to our original town of Ashkelon (Al-Majdal), occupied land. But God’s will was swifter, and His decree is binding.

I lived pain in all its details, tasted grief and loss repeatedly, yet I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is—without distortion or falsification—hoping God would bear witness against those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing, those who besieged our breaths, and whose hearts were not moved by the shattered bodies of our children and women, nor did they stop the massacre our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine, the jewel of the Muslim world and the pulse of every free heart in this world.
I entrust you with its people, with its innocent children who were not granted the time to dream or live in safety and peace.
Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart, their remains scattered on the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward liberating the land and the people until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland.

I entrust you with my family.
I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter, Sham, whom fate did not allow me to see grow as I dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son, Salah, whom I wished to support and accompany until he grew strong, carrying my burden and continuing the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers were the reason I reached where I did. Her supplications were my fortress, and her light my path.
I pray God to ease her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan, from whom war separated us for long days and months, but who remained faithful, steadfast like an olive tree trunk that never bends, patient and devout, carrying the trust in my absence with strength and faith.

I urge you to gather around them and be their support after God Almighty.
If I die, I die steadfast on my principles, bearing witness to God that I am satisfied with His decree, believing in meeting Him, and certain that what is with God is better and everlasting.

O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path to freedom for my people and family.

Forgive me if I fell short, and pray for me mercy, for I have remained true to the covenant, never changing or betraying it.

Do not forget Gaza…
And do not forget me in your good prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what Anas ordered to be published upon his martyrdom.

"That Gaza is gone – not buried under volcanic ash, not erased by history, but razed by an Israeli military campaign that has left behind a place that looks like the aftermath of an apocalypse". https://t.co/hz0KOTYIXJ

REPORTER: "Isn't it a bit unfair to say this is the Israelis as a whole"

Bob Geldof: "Stop it Trevor.. if Israelis want to protest.. stuff your cars full of food & drive through that border & let your own army stop you.. shame on you"

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

Another bottle from Egypt (the last one was from Tunisia) has made it to Gaza

This kind gesture worked ❤️

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Kneecap is not the story.
Genocide in Gaza is.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

It's now clear from the Israeli occupation forces own figures that they've murdered over 377,000 people so far in Gaza....

That's more than 100 times the death toll in the North of Ireland over 30 years...they have slaughtered in 20 months.

Unforgivable...the most evil regime on earth.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

[Anita Ward @NiniWardy]

@gazanotice @thatbloodyMikey When this is all over they should be dragged into Palestine to see exactly what their government did

[Sulaiman Ahmed @ShaykhSulaiman]

THIS IS TERRORlSM

THIS IS WAR CRIMES

THIS IS GENOClDE

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

🎥 Recorded in January and just aired on RTE tv now.

"I don't want to be 80, 90 years of age and my grandkids asking me about the Palestinian genocide? Me sitting there being like fuck, I didn't do enough. I don't wanna be on that side of history."

"If it comes down to awards or breaking America by sacrifice what you believe in, then America can go fuck itself."

We are clearer than ever on who we are and what we stand for.

We will have a short statement soon.

FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

A farewell kiss on her tiny foot... a father bids goodbye to his daughter, martyred while wearing the only clothes she likely owned — the same ones she wore when she struggled to fetch water, carrying it with frail hands and a heart worn down by displacement long before war took her life.

قبلة الوداع على قدمها الصغيرة... الأب يُودّع طفلته التي ارتقت شه يدةً
وهي ترتدي ذات الملابس التي ربما لم تملك سواها، تلك التي كانت تذهب
بها لجلب الماء بصعوبة، تحمله بيدين ناحلتين وقلبٍ أنهكه النزوح قبل أن
تقتله الحرب،

[Medea Benjamin @medeabenjamin]

Ben from Ben & Jerry’s confronts RFK Jr. and Congress:
“YOU’RE KILLING POOR KIDS IN GAZA
AND PAYING FOR IT BY CUTTING MEDICAID
FOR KIDS HERE.”
While Congress writes checks for bombs, children are starving.

[Anita Ward @NiniWardy]

@EliAfriatISR Oh that’s easy! A genocidal, lying, murdering psychopath.

[Gaza Notifications @gazanotice]

🚨HEARTBREAKING: Noah Dawood Al-Saqa, a child who celebrated his birthday yesterday, calling it “the best day of my life,” was killed by Israel just hours later in the Altaylandy restaurant massacre in Gaza City.

His dreams and his family’s joy were stolen in an instant.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Today small children in Gaza are dying of starvation.

Just a mile away hundreds of trucks sit full of food.

The IDF blocking them entering.

This is the face of the Israeli regime - evil beyond comprehension.

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

Meanwhile Sharon Osbourne thinks telling people about Israeli war crimes at Coachella "compromised its moral and spiritual integrity”....

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

A rally in Tel Aviv right now with thousands of Israelis holding pictures of kids murdered in Gaza by their army.

Ignoring police threats they stand against genocide. 👏👏👏👏👏

Bualadh Bos to these great people.
