The most expensive onion in the world!
I laughed. I really laughed hard when I saw it, couldn’t hold myself back.
But deep down, I knew…
It wasn’t laughter. It was anger.. just escaping my chest wearing a smile.
I decided to buy it.
For my mother, to add to our “fake maqluba” — We call it fake because there’s no chicken in it.
And still, even without chicken, it costs around 280 shekels…
That’s nearly 80 dollars!
And even then, it’s missing more than just the chicken.. It’s missing the things we stopped talking about… like the sense of being alive, not just surviving!
I handed the vendor a bill.
He refused—it had a small tear.
I gave him another—he refused again.
This one had a barely visible wrinkle.
I asked him, “Why? There’s nothing wrong with it!”
He said,
“The wholesalers who sell me vegetables don’t accept damaged bills.”
And then he added: “I’m sorry.”
So I smiled, and told him:
“No worries. It’s just an onion, right? I’m sorry too.”
I walked back to the tent, and one thought kept echoing in my head:
Are we really still living?
Or just fighting off the idea of dying?
Truth: In Gaza, even an onion can cost 6 dollars!
Doctors in Gaza needed to use CT scans to figure out why dead children had such small entry wounds. Turns out Israel is using bombs designed to expel tiny pebbles that enter the body and cascade so violently through it they 'dissolve the spine.' Evil doesn't begin to cover it
"With the death of the young Hussein, the entire Aqilan family has been wiped out,erased from the Palestinian civil registry."
A US-backed Israeli genocide. That's how it should be remembered.
FOUR !! FOUR of my husband’s cousins were just murdered trying to reach the aid distribution centres!!

Ashraf Anwar Khalil Musa
Khalil Anwar Khalil Abu Musa
All shot by the Israeli army while trying to reach the aid center in Qizan Rashwan!!! FUCK ISRAEL!!!
Israel has one of the highest rates of internet usage in the world. 85% speak English. Gov ministers and talk shows have openly celebrated atrocities for 19 months. Poll after poll has shown overwhelming support for ethnic cleansing.
They are aware.
They have always been aware.
Never forget: Israel deliberately murdered the Gaza farmer Yousef Abu Rabie in an airstrike as part of its program of imposing famine on Gaza
It targeted everyone who attempted to protect aid convoys, distribute aid or feed the population outside its genocidal control
Concentration camp 2025
Starving people forced to walk miles
under scorching heat.
Lined up like animals,
only a few are fed.
Some are arrested,
Some are shot at.
New Israel US joint venture.
The worst humanity is capable of from the bastions of Power.
We.
Must.
Stop.
This.
