Folks, a website has been created in honor of the scholars lost in Gaza. Remember and honor them and keep their legacy alive:

Israel has killed 111 children and wounded a further 334, in Lebanon in 2 weeks.

“And then I saw it — my small book cabinet, perched at the top of the rubble, its pages breathing through the stones as if refusing to die. In that moment, something inside me returned to life.”

"to witness the darkest fraction of night, visit the olive trees, & stare between their arms—it will feel like spying on night in its bedroom. The tree does not fear night’s bleak soul, & night does not fear the barbed branches."

I will not speak to foreign media about the killing of Palestinian journalists.
I will not sit on your global channels to be part of a segment you’ll forget by tomorrow.

To you, we are just a headline — a tragedy to consume, not colleagues to defend.

We are being hunted and killed in Gaza while you watch in silence.
For two years, your fellow journalists here have been slaughtered.

What did you do?
Nothing.

Or maybe it’s because we are Palestinian journalists — we don’t count as “real” colleagues in your eyes.

@NYTimesPR History will remember the New York Times as the voice of genocide enablement. The Radio Rowanda of this genocide

We used to highlight the Deir Yassin massacre which took place in the Nakba. Every day today in Gaza is another Deir Yassin, where hundreds are killed, even starved to death. The Palestinian Nakba is an ongoing event.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

This is cruel news:

One of the houses Israel bombed in Jabalia two hours ago was the home of Dr. Deeb Al-Batsh, head of the intensive care unit at Al-Shifa Hospital.
His wife and children were with him in the house.

[Ghassan Abu Sitta, Chair of Conflict Medicine AUB @GhassanAbuSitt1]

The Blood Bank in Gaza is unable to accept blood donations. The doners are too malnourished from the famine, too dehydrated from the diarrhea disease they got from drinking dirty water, and many have Hepatitis viral infections.

[Dalia Taha @daliaht]

Where is humanity?!!

[Dalia Taha @daliaht]

The word “hell” doesn’t even begin to describe the horrors taking place in Gaza before the eyes of the entire world

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Shocking, shocking, shocking!!!

Dr. Alaa al-Najar while working at Nasser Hospital found the bodies of her 7 children entering the hospital. Her children are Yahia, Rakan, Raslan, Jubran, Ev, Rivan, and Sidin.

Any comments, EU, UN, US, UK?
Any coverage of this, BBC, CNN?

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Stop the genocide. Stop killing children. Stop erasing families.
Stop erasing our cities.

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

Listen to Bisan, our beloved sister in Gaza

Humanity must save Gaza

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

Hey @nytimes @BBCWorld @AP @Reuters, this is how you write a headline.

[Dalia Taha @daliaht]

The suffering is unbearable..there are no words left…

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Just in the past six hours, there are believed to be killed over a hundred people in north Gaza. Only 25 were taken to the hospital. The remaining are under the rubble.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

Heartbreaking:

This is Yahya Sobeih, a journalist whose wife just delivered a baby. It was just five hours ago and you can see that from his stories.

This baby was Yahya’s first child.

Israel killed Yahya an hour ago.

[Hind Khoudary @Hind_Gaza]

I do not think i have words to express the situation on the ground

Reporting in Gaza is so hard because there is no dictionary to describe the situation
