One day of tragedy used to destroy hundreds of millions of lives over two decades. If our rage were allowed it would crumble mountains with its screams.

1. An anti-war protest sign, at a rally in DC, in 2005. This image was taken one month after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, which gave us horrifying footage of Black Louisianans left to fend for themselves on their rooftops as the water levels reached higher and higher.

What kind of bomb creates a 30-foot-deep crater? And what kind of regime uses such a bomb to attack a refugee camp filled with people displaced for the third or fourth time, after enduring 11 months of bombing, massacres, starvation, and disease?

In a normal world, today 630,000 students from Gaza are supposed to start their educational year, but in the genocide era, today they lost the second educational year, and instead they are waiting in the water, food and aid distribution lines.

I've lived through many wars in Gaza, but something very different about this genocide is the intensity of the weapons and bombs. When I visit a location that has been recently bombed, I see flesh all over the walls and bodies torn to pieces. They are using powerful weapons that shred bodies beyond recognition, many times we are unable to figure out how many are dead because theirs no bodies it’s all flesh and pieces.

[Mohammad Alsaafin @malsaafin]

This is UN satellite data. As many Israeli soldiers and political leaders have openly said, the goal is to make sure people in Gaza have nothing left to return to.

This is not a war "against Hamas."

[shereen @shereenlani]

not a single full body was found

they were sheltering in a school. praying. what excuse could anyone possibly believe other than blatant genocide?

NOT A SINGLE FULL BODY WAS FOUND

I haven’t done a thread in a while & I wanted to do one just to recap what Black & Asian people as well as immigrants have had to endure over the last week in the UK.
