Motaz said yesterday that his colleagues that assist him in compiling images and operating drone aerial footage of the destruction have all been killed. Remember that this is deliberate and targeted in repeated attempts to stop the flow of information coming out of Gaza.
I can no longer bear all this pain. My city is devastated, and Israel has destroyed everything that symbolizes life—hospitals, schools, universities, streets, cultural centers, and historical sites. My blood pressure is high, and my heartbeats are irregular. I feel almost insane. We don't deserve this; Gaza does not deserve the world's silence.
[Thread on the question of Hamas] Two things that require some consideration. 1. The demand by the warmongers that people who call for the ceasefire must condemn Hamas. 2. The strange framework adopted by the media that this is an Israel-Hamas war.
@sofiaxaguilar Constantly. Even other writers tell me this all the time, because I’ve worked a lot of unusual jobs. I know they mean well but I still hate it haha
And if I give up on consequences
is that despair
or passion? I can’t protect
myself from either. The lantern swinging
bearing down, pressing the dark
to a sliver
of shade at the edges of my field
of vision.
