Today Hossam Shabat would have been 24 years old.
My tribute to him:
Today Hossam Shabat would have been 24 years old.
When I spoke to him before, I told him, “Hossam, they want to assassinate you. You’re on a hit list. It’s enough, you’ve done more than enough. Just please, stay alive.”
He replied, “I will keep reporting. This is our duty, and this is the promise we made, one we will fulfill. And if I am martyred, you and others will be our voice.”
He added, “My only wish, if I’m martyred, is that my body remains intact... that I don’t become just mere unrecognizable remains.”
I once told him, “When the genocide ends, I’ll come visit you.” He replied, “Visit me where? I’m living on the streets and in tents.
They destroyed my home, and I have nowhere to go.” So I said, “Then I’ll come and stay with you on the streets or in the tents.”
He always spoke about wanting to get married once the genocide ends and starting a tamily of his own, living his life to the fullest as any normal human would.
I remember texting telling him “I’m happy you were finally reunited with your family” he replied “May god make you always happy”, I asked “Is there anything that you need?” He replied with
“I miss you” I replied “I miss you too, take care of yourself” and that was the final message because next day Israel killed him.
He was only 23 years old when Israel deliberately targeted him.
He had dreams. He had a name. He always said, “If our voice is killed, then be our voice.”
This is a segment from Hossam’s will:
“I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free”
Hossam, not a day passes by where I don’t remember your words or remember you, I know you’re in a better place now but I can’t accept the reality that you’re no longer here, I will always honor your words and my promise to you, till we we meet again...

Trump wants to force up the price we pay for medicines to boost profits for his big pharma donors.
This price gouging must be resisted - and we should form a publicly-owned drug company to produce generics to lower prices.
Desperate to keep his family off the streets and with no money to buy a tent, Mohammed Al-Naqla dug a cave by Gaza’s sandy shore as a last resort.
“Never in my life did I imagine or think that I would live in a place like this cave, in such a dark place, a scary place,” he says.
Why are people still in the North? Because as this man says heartbreakingly “displacement isn’t free.” https://t.co/6l9JFjXgdv.
Palestinians are expected to fund their own ethnic cleansing. You either pay to evacuate South, as ordered by the occupation, or you stay in the North and starve to death or get killed by the occupation’s bombs.
This is the impossible choice families face. Translating Falasteen (@translatingpal) x The Sameer Project is still providing about 100,000 liters of water in the North. We are purchasing tents in the South at $1,100 each to give shelter to the forceful displaced.
But there is too much of a need. We don’t have enough funds. Please help these families. Donate to the Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project North Campaign to continue to assist the North.

🚨URGENT APPEAL: “My son has been thrown to the dogs for two days now, and no one can reach him,” said Ghada Saad Al-Masry, a Palestinian mother pleading for help from the Red Cross to help her get her son's body before it's eaten by dogs.
After losing four of her children in this genocide, Ghada only has two sons left. Her other sons Ahmad and Mahmoud were killed in the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre, her daughter Batoul was killed on June 22, and just three days ago, she lost her son Mohammed, who was later found lifeless on the ground after going to fetch wood from her parents’ home. “I appeal to international organizations, the Red Crescent, and civil defense to try to reach him,” she said, her voice breaking.

My cousin was not a celebrity but everyone who cares about us in Gaza, in Palestine, needs to know his name, their names.
His name is Abdallah Talal Abu Toha.
His body remains in the street after he was killed in an air strike.
He was a father of two children (2 years old and 6 months old)
He was born in the same refugee camp as me. He was killed after surviving for 729 in the camp.
He was not a celebrity. He did not have millions of followers.
But he has a name. He has a face. And everyone needs to learn his name, see his face.
Everyone must know our names, see our faces.
At an Orthodox Jewish school in Israel, students were asked: ‘What do you feel when you meet an Arab child?’ The replies: “I want to k**l them” and“Arabs will be slaves”.
Greta Thunberg told Swedish officials she is facing harsh treatment in Israeli custody after being detained from a Gaza aid flotilla.
Swedish Foreign Ministry said Thunberg reported dehydration, lack of food and water, and rashes from bedbug-infested cells, adding she was forced to sit for long periods on hard surfaces.

If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
