I know that Yoseph Haddad is lying or misinformed because I’m a Christian from Gaza.

My family is sheltering in the Holy Family church, not from Hamas, but from Israeli airstrikes that murdered my cousin at St. Porphyrius.

It wasn’t Hamas that murdered my great aunt Elham who only wanted to return home. She was sniped and left to bleed to death. The Red Cross wasn’t given permission to rescue her. And last week we discovered a tank had run her over and flattened her body. We don’t know if she was still alive when it happened.

It wasn’t Hamas that murdered Nahida and Samar Anton, my family friends, when snipers shot them and seven others in the church courtyard.

It wasn’t Hamas that confiscated our lands in 1948 when my grandfather’s home was destroyed by the Haganah. Hamas didn’t even exist until 39 YEARS after we were expelled from our homes and 20 YEARS after the military occupation of Gaza.

It wasn’t Hamas that bulldozed my family’s orchards in 2004. It wasn’t Hamas that prevented my relatives from travelling to Bethlehem to pray at the Nativity, or Jerusalem to pray at the Holy Sepulchre for Easter.

All my relatives and family friends who left Gaza did so because they couldn’t stand the suffocation under the illegal blockade. And the truth is, we’re part of the middle and upper-middle class of Gaza; we have the means to leave. And many have relatives in the “West” and in the Gulf states that they can go to. Many of the Muslim upper-middle class also left, just as they did when Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing operations in December 1947.

Despite that, I have relatives right now in the church who refuse to leave. Who will not let the cleansing of Palestine happen again to them. They say - proudly - we are Palestinians. We were born here, and we will do everything in our power to remain here.

So stop speaking for us. Stop putting our lives at further risk. And stop participating in our persecution.

Al-Jazeera reporter: Israeli bulldozers shot and ran over pregnant women in labour. They were carrying white flags and attempting to reach a hospital in Tal Al Zaatar, Gaza.

[Muhammad Shehada @muhammadshehad2]

Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world.

He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...

"We are better than others," a girl from Gaza says as she bids farewell to her father. We will miss you, Father, but unlike others, we were at least able to say our goodbyes."

[Dr Myriam François @MyriamFrancoisC]

Just know we are working to identify all the men lined up in front of what appears like a mass grave. We will know who they are and what you have done to them. It will be made public. This looks like a mass execution picture. It better not be.

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

Israel has wiped out over 900 bloodlines in Gaza since October 7th. As in, killed every single living member of the family, in every generation. As in, no survivors of that family name. As in - genocide.

[Edward Thornton @EdwardThornton_]

my baby cousins. their names are razan and nouran allouh. israeli tanks shot at and killed them while they were trying to fill a bucket with water inside the gates of their home. my uncle ahmad allouh, their father, went and lay between their bodies before he was shot and killed.

[sai @Saisailu97]

Reminder that your boycotting and calling out politicians is working because just days ago, the same Macron was trying to ban pro-Palestine protests across the country

[World Cup Files @KhaledBeydoun]

Dr. Omar Farawneh was the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine at the Islamic University in Gaza. He served Gaza for over 30 years as a doctor and educator.

He was killed along with his wife and 13 of his children and grandchildren.

[shayma @roundthefurr]

my sister and my niece are among them. please always remember that they are more than just a number or a tiny name on a front page. they were incredible people who loved and were loved back. as every single martyr of palestine.

Yall will NOT tarnish her name!!! Ahed Tamimi is a HERO.

In 2017, she had approached IDF soldiers and began fighting them because one of them shot her 15 year old cousin in the head at close range with a rubber-coated steel bullet.

[⚡️ @mxhrxxp]

if this happens 500,000 Palestinians will be displaced from THEIR land so they can come to Canada only to work below minimum wage, face racism, & be assimilated to western culture all while being told to be grateful for being “rescued” from a genocide the west funded & supported

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

10,000 Palestinian have been killed.

10,000

Let that sink in. 💔

Take your time. Don't rush through this.

Read it over and over and over and over and over until it hits deep. Until you refuse to be silent.

I’m never going to get this picture out of my head. Palestinians were standing at a queue for a bakery and Israel bombed them, taking away their lives, the bakery, the baker, and left the bread soaked in their blood. Israel is intentionally targeting bakeries to try and starve
