MONTHS OF WORK. DESTROYED BY ONE MISSILE. 💔

Nasser Hospital in Gaza has been hit.

For months, we worked tirelessly to bring it back to life, repairing one medical device after another, restoring hope for patients who desperately needed treatment.

Now, one missile has shattered months of our hard work.

But what breaks my heart most isn’t the machines.

It’s the patients. How will they receive their treatment now? 💔🇵🇸

These fucking “Israeli” monsters are bombing Nasser Medical Complex AGAIN

Israel: the breath of death, turning bloom into desert since 1948.

Zionism is the great evil of our time.

Gaza is DROWNING. And this should make us angry, furious and outraged!

🚨Urgent support needed 🚨 https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

Overnight, thousands of tents collapsed under the storm, with dozens of displacement camps now completely underwater. The rain is expected to continue until Monday.

This is the FOURTH winter that Palestinians in Gaza have faced under genocide. After years of bombardment, displacement and destruction, families who have already lost their homes are now watching their only remaining shelter collapse under the rain.

Think about what that means: parents trying to keep their children dry, families desperately trying to salvage their belongings from floodwater, people who have already been displaced repeatedly being left with nowhere safe to go.

There is something profoundly wrong with a world in which people are forced to fight this hard for the basic right to shelter. They should never have been put in this position.

The Sameer Project is already replacing dozens of destroyed tents and arranging truckloads of sand to help absorb water in flooded camps. But the need is far greater than our current resources.

We urgently need funding to provide higher-quality, more durable tents. These cost $700, compared to $200 for lower-quality alternatives. Many families are refusing the cheaper tents because they know they will likely break again. We are also looking to buy hundreds of tarps and blankets. They cannot keep starting from nothing every time a storm hits.

We are asking you to help us do something tangible. We can’t sink into helplessness. Help us get families out of the floodwater and into shelter that can actually protect them.

We cannot stop the storm, but we can refuse to stand by while families face it without protection.

Please urgently donate whatever you can and share this appeal. Every contribution brings another family closer to having somewhere safe and dry to sleep: https://t.co/YR8kpxmtBQ

Gaza has vanished from your screens, but its hell has not vanished from our lives;

you have moved past the scene, while we remain trapped within it.

How can anyone watch this and not come away with the understanding that Israelis are blood sucking vampire parasites.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

our hearts can't break any harder.
we will never forget, nor forgive. someday they will pay so damn dearly, and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

"Israel" is the grim reaper. the parasitic aberration. the demonic entity. the bringers of darkness.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

you're never too old challenge the system. never too old to be beautiful, to be an active voice for justice, to take risks for the oppressed. thank you, Margaret.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

As the tide turns globally, I see the effort to pin the blame solely on Netanyahu. The strategy is to resurrect Israel's image in the process of toppling him. But genocide is not a one-man show; the whole system is culpable. Zionism must be abolished. There is no going back.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.

We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.

Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

The Zionists are starving Gaza again

Warning

The Zionists have quietly reimposed the starvation siege on Gazan children.

[Handala Relief Project @Handala_Relief]

Tomorrow, we will once again distribute meals to displaced people in Gaza.

The food will reach 150 of the poorest and most vulnerable families. Children deserve to have food to eat, just like children everywhere else in the world.

Your donations make a difference.

Please, contribute and help us make this possible: https://t.co/9HNSkNBWbT

These are the words of @susanabulhawa that the Oxford Union censored until a legal settlement was reached on 5 October.

Listen to her words threes years into Israel's accelerated genocide against Palestinians.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

At the Acropolis, Marco Rubio (mis)presents the history of the West - from ancient Greece to the contemporary United States - as a single, seamless continuum. This is the logic of anachronism: a distortion of historical time produced by the careless fusion of categories such as Greece, Rome, Christianity, Europe, America, and, ultimately, “America First.” It is as if America has finally discovered that 'intimidation' can be staged more effectively beneath the neon lights of a philosophy of history than in the bare idiom of the cowboy.

Rubio lifts the Greek concept of 'thumos' out of its historical and philosophical setting and recasts it as a celebration of power - of force exercised without law or justice - along with competition and national will. That reading misses a constitutive half of the Greek inheritance. Greece was not only a theater of power and glory. It was also the birthplace of the tragedy of hubris and aggression, from the myth of Troy and Homer’s Iliad; of the critique of imperial ambition in Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War; of political philosophy in Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Politics; and of enduring meditations on the limits of power, moral responsibility, and human fate in Sophocles’ Antigone and Oedipus Rex.

This other half of the Greek legacy is deliberately omitted from Rubio’s narrative. History is thereby converted from a field of inquiry and critical reflection into an instrument of political legitimation. What emerges is not a philosophy of history, but a manufactured narrative designed to authorize U.S. militancy and to construct a convenient political myth: a distorted reconstruction of the past in which the politics of the present are made to appear inevitable and historically ordained. Once history is pressed into the service of legitimizing power—the unlawful and unjust use of force—its purpose is no longer to understand the past, but to glorify power itself.

Vasily Vereshchagin’s The Apotheosis of War offers a stark counter-image. Its pyramid of skulls, left behind by conquerors, confronts the mythology of glory with the material residue of conquest. It recalls what remains when history is reduced to the exaltation of power.

At such a juncture, Western thinkers have a responsibility to defend history itself - and the philosophical complexity of Western civilization - against a distorted and apologetic reinterpretation by an aggressive power prepared to sacrifice a civilization’s human achievements in order to legitimize the unrestrained exercise of force.

The danger lies not merely in misreading the past, but in appropriating it to authorize that force, and to aggrandize it, in the present.
