Barely a peep from the media.
The so called ‘ceasefire’ is a disaster for Gaza. The world has looked away under the premise of a pause, but the wholesale slaughter has not stopped.
I am writing these words to you from inside Gaza City, and I say this with complete honesty: the situation has become extremely dangerous, perhaps worse than ever before.
Temperatures continue to rise, and the tents have turned into real ovens. More than 170,000 tents across Gaza City are sheltering thousands of families in conditions that are impossible to describe. Inside these tents, temperatures exceed 50°C (122°F). There is no electricity, no fans, no air conditioning, and none of the basic necessities needed to survive.
The tents are packed tightly together, with almost no space between them. Many families are forced to leave their tents and sit in the streets because remaining inside has become unbearable.
Water is desperately scarce, and the extreme heat is making thirst even more severe. And this is only the beginning of summer. Every day, I see the effects of the intense heat on children’s bodies heat rashes, exhaustion, and suffering while insects emerging from the ground make life even harder.
The coming days could be even more devastating if these conditions continue. The tents are no longer places of shelter; they have become another source of danger.
Please don’t let these families be forgotten. Speak about them. Write about them. Share their stories with others. Keep their voices alive and let the world know what is happening. Behind every tent is a family struggling to survive.
They need to be seen, they need to be heard, and they need your solidarity.
I have to say this daily, but if Muslims did this to ONE Jewish temple, the world would be OUTRAGED.
Israel has now destroyed over 1,000 mosques in Gaza and the West Bank.
It’s the single biggest destruction of holy sites in the modern HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
Only a few days separate Gaza City from complete collapse. What remains of life here is falling apart before the eyes of the world.
Desalination plants have stopped, and bakeries, factories, power generators, and vehicles are shutting down one after another due to the lack of fuel and oil. Within days, ambulances and hospital services may completely stop.
In hospitals, injured people and patients are dying because of the lack of medicine, medical equipment, and the resources needed to save their lives. There are no sufficient medical supplies, no prosthetic limbs for those who have lost their limbs, and no wheelchairs for the injured and people with disabilities.
Most essential materials are being prevented from entering. There is no wood, no iron, no cement, and no materials to rebuild what has been destroyed. Even caravans and shelter units are not allowed to enter.
Waste is piling up, and there is no ability to remove or manage it, increasing the spread of diseases and making life more unbearable day after day.
The economy is collapsing, unemployment is rising at an alarming rate, aid is decreasing, and thousands of families are struggling just to obtain the most basic necessities of life.
An entire city is being brought to a standstill before the eyes of the world.
What is the world waiting for before it acts?
If the world can see an entire city collapsing, injured people dying in hospitals, and people losing the most basic necessities of life… when will it finally move?
🚨BREAKING: Tom Homan says if you don’t want to be killed by ICE agents, you should just comply…. So here is an example of what he wants you to comply with.
In this video, a woman noticed vehicles in a parking lot that she believed could be ICE vehicles… So, she started filming.
The people noticed she was filming, and drove past her.
She was alone, so she decided to leave.
Then, they started followed her.
But here’s the thing… she wasn’t even 100% sure they were ICE agents.
They were in unmarked vehicles, and they weren’t using emergency lights.
As she was driving down the street, being followed by these unmarked cars, one of the vehicles pulls up beside her, cuts her off, and the cars box her in.
She had nowhere to go without hitting the curb, or hitting the vehicle that had just cut her off.
She honked, but the vehicle just sat there.
Eventually it moved, and the vehicles drove away.
Now, imagine being a woman, alone in your car.
A group of cars, you cannot clearly identify as law enforcement, start following you.
They don’t turn on emergency lights. They don’t clearly identify themselves. And one of them cuts you off and blocking your vehicle from being able to drive away.
What are you supposed to think is happening?
Because from your perspective, it looks like you are being kidnapped by random people.
And that is the terrifying part of what ICE is doing.
They are creating situations where people have no idea whether the people surrounding them are legitimate law enforcement officers, or strangers attempting to abduct, or rob them.
And Tom Homan’s answer to being kidnapped, or robbed, is…
“Just comply.”
Don’t try to drive away. Don’t defend yourself. Don’t try to escape.
Just calmly allow unidentified people, in unmarked vehicles, to follow you, box you in, and potentially kidnap or rob you…
Because if they happen to be ICE agents, and you react like a normal person who believes they are being kidnapped, you could be assaulted, detained, or even shot.
Do you understand how dangerous and insane that is?!?
“Just comply” means women are being told to surrender to potential kidnappers, and hope they turn out to be government agents.
And if they don’t?
Tom Homan says it’s their fault for not complying.
Trump claims Iran kills "young kids like candy".
Just a few hours ago, an ongoing search at the site of a US airstrike on a school in southern Iran uncovered 62 body fragments belonging to 32 massacred schoolchildren.
The attack killed 168 children and teachers in a single day
What is it called when you concentrate the members of an ethnic group—into a crowded area under squalid living conditions—and shoot them when they try to move?
@EmmaSzewczak I like vegetarian options when they are their own thing. Falafel? Amazing. Crispy tofu? Lovely . "Buffelloo Chki'n Bytes" made from cauliflower, lies and hydrogenated soybean oil? Awful.
@EmmaSzewczak M&S are the worst for this - they withdrew everything I used to buy for lunch. I don’t want a superfood salad or fake chicken sandwich, I just want mayonnaise please.
probably a very derided take here but as someone who was brought up vegetarian I long for that two/three year window when shops finally started stocking decent vegetarian options but before everything became almost exclusively vegan
