This is actually INSANE! she's taking a major hit career-wise this action alone, ntm the enemies she's created by firing her manager & being loudly pro pal! Don't ever tell me "big celebs" CAN'T show solidarity coz they'll 'lose' a lot in the process. This is how you SHOW TF UP!
Heartbroken.💔
My father, Prof VK Tripathi fasted all day at Rajghat for Gaza, handing out flyers.
Around 6 pm many police came shouting and speaking with hatred, as if we were there to cause trouble.
I can’t believe this is our police.
So much hate and prejudice.
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.
An elderly lady taking her first flight to meet her daughter, a family's first foreign trip, a son coming to India for Eid, a father clicking the last photo with her daughter.
All these stories are just so gut wrenching.
What the actual fuck is wrong with people?
A plane just crashed. 242 on board. Families might never see their loved ones again.
And y’all are out here joking, spinning conspiracy shit, making content out of tragedy?
Have some shame. Some humanity. Anything.
i'll never get over the fact about how it's so easy to sit at home, read the news and tweet our condolences. may we never be on the opposite side, so distraught right now.
I am deciding to take time off from my work as a family doctor, to join the global march to Gaza, because Gaza deserves it.
Gaza deserves food, clean water, medicines, medical supplies and proper medical care.
The Palestinian people deserve freedom from this ongoing Israeli siege, blockade, starvation, famine, occupation, apartheid, and genocide.
Liberation is good medicine.
I don’t know what else to do in this moment than to join the global march to Gaza. To demand that humanitarian aid enter Gaza, which Israel has and continues to systematically deny to the Palestinian people.
Over a year ago, I made the journey into Gaza through the Rafah border crossing to work in primary care clinics in central Rafah. Before I crossed the border, I saw the aid trucks lined up for kilometres upon kilometres at the border as we drove up. These aid trucks would be systematically held up by Israel from entering, some with their supplies and food expiring, only to have the aid be dumped at the border before it even reached Palestine.
It was initially the plan to work at Nasser hospital, but it was surrounded by Israeli tanks and later besieged and forcibly evacuated by the Israeli military. Now, as healthcare workers continue to do what they can in these impossible situations, Nasser hospital is on the brink of collapse, with healthcare workers donating their own blood in attempts to save their patients. Five days ago, the World Health Organization called for urgent protection of Nasser hospital and Al-Amal hospital, the last two functioning public hospitals in Khan Younis, where currently most of the population is living.
A few months later, after my initial journey into Gaza, I was planning to try to re-enter Gaza through the Rafah border crossing, and I watched videos of the Israeli military occupy and destroy the Rafah border crossing on the Palestinian side. The Israeli military has continued their invasion and occupation of Gaza, and repeated and further forced displacement of the Palestinian people into smaller and smaller pieces of land.
I am seeing ordinary citizens of the world, the people of conscience, take it upon themselves to deliver aid and demand an end to the famine and genocide in Gaza. While the international community has utterly failed to prevent and stop genocide in Gaza. Israel has previously killed activists and bombed past freedom flotillas for attempting to bring aid in. The latest freedom flotilla was not the first attempt to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza by water, nor will it be the last. We all have a collective responsibility to do what we can, to do everything we can, to help bring an end to the famine and genocide in Gaza.
In a few days, we will march collectively to the Rafah border crossing. This time, I won’t be attempting to cross it with a small medical team, as I know that doctors can’t stop a famine or end a genocide. This time, I will be with thousands of other volunteers and activists from all over the world demanding that the thousands of aid trucks be let in. Because this is what is needed to stop the famine and starvation. And for governments like our own in Canada, to end complicity in this genocide - for example, Canadian companies sold $18.9 million dollars worth of military goods to Israel in 2024 alone. Because this is what is needed to end the genocide.
Because when the people of conscience around the world organize, we are powerful to push our governments to help bring this genocide to an end.
Aviation experts are attributing the crash to a dual-engine failure. Aviation reports and studies suggest that the probability of both engines failing together is once in a billion flying hours. Rarest of the rarest of the rare events, this one.
Eurovision is whitewashing Israeli genocide. The competition banned Russia WEEKS after it invaded Ukraine, but has refused to ban Israel in spite of every human rights organisation and genocide scholar unequivocally labelling their actions as genocidal. SHAME ON EUROVISION.
