I’d never seen a child’s body ripped in half before. I’d never seen a baby without a head. I’d never seen people being burned alive. Or children’s eyes burst from their skulls. Or remains of the dead packed in plastic bags.
Till Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Never forget.
“I’m overwhelmed with joy. I can now go back to Syria. At least one of my two homelands is accessible.”
AJ+ Managing Director Dima Khatib is both Syrian and Palestinian. This is the story of her double exile.
I 19 av EU:s länder minskade utsläppen. I åtta ökade dom. Bland dessa hittar vi Sverige. Och inte bara som en av flera. Sverige är det landet som haft den största ökningen av utsläppen av alla
The amount of dead Palestinian children we’ve seen in the last 72 hours has been staggering. At a loss for what remains to be said.
Not a day has gone by, since October 2023 that we haven’t seen lifeless, maimed, murdered Palestinian children.
If you are ever asked about resilience, dignity, or the refusal to surrender your ideals, say his name: Mazen. He was not just anyone. He was a man who, under the harshest of circumstances, refused to compromise his beliefs—even when it meant his soul would leave his body.
We @amnesty spent yesterday visiting the Assad government’s security and intelligence branches in Damascus. For years, survivors had described the horrors they experienced in these underground dungeons. But nothing could have prepared us for what we saw.
I remember the unparalleled hope and inspiration I felt when Mubarak fell in 2011, & then the crushing heartbreak and disappointment when Egypt eventually took a horrific turn for the worse.
With that in mind, a quick thought on Syria: (1/8)
If you are to watch one thing about the Assad regime, make it this 4:20 minutes.
Note: The rebels found this little kid in the same prison he’s talking about.
Women and children are found in a prison cell in Syria, all in disbelief, almost resisting the idea of being freed. The man is telling them: go home you are free, the president is gone.
They are so shocked
Who knows how long they had been there
"Hon skriver att hon 'stödjer Israel' men inte 'judarna i Sverige'. För att 'vi ska ha ett rent Norden' måste judar och muslimer fördrivas: 'Judar, muslimer o kommunister får hitta någon annan (sic) land att bo i och förstöra som de brukar'."
Berlin's official city portal just wrote our film No Other Land has "antisemitic tendencies". A film that won the Berlinale and was recently invited to a special screening in the German embassy in Israel. It pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel's occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians. I feel unsafe and unwelcome in Berlin of 2024 as a left-wing Israeli and will take legal action.
Today, I met my dad’s friend on the street. I honestly didn’t recognize him; no one looks the same after a year of genocide. I asked him how he had been doing. He said he had four sons, and one after another, they were killed over the span of a year. His last son and wife were killed last month. Now, he sleeps on the streets with no family. A vibrant man who once owned a house, a car, and a business is now deprived of everything, even his family.
Liten påminnelse om att det är löning och jag samlar återigen in pengar till min vän Jamshid i Kabul. 5000 kr behövs för att täcka mat, hyra och sjukvård <3 tack till alla som swishar
Jomshof sprider bilder som framställer flyktingar som mordbrännare och våldtäktsmän.
Forssmed säger att bilderna är olämpliga.
Vem ”gick över gränsen” enligt svensk borgerlighet 2024?
Forssmed. 😢
