“We came into education to inspire young people. With all universities in Gaza destroyed and over 4,000 students killed, what kind of role models would we be if we stayed silent?” https://t.co/yPbamUl0z6

Thinking of my beloved Y-Dang Troeung today.

“I cannot cry enough tears for the closure that this trial does not bring. But what it does bring, the acknowledgment of our history, the evidence of our collective memories, I continue to carry.”

In November, Publishers for Palestine asked readers around the world to #ReadPalestine. Now, we’re calling on you to #ReadPalestine again. But this time we're asking you to read out loud and in public for a Global Day of Action. 1/3

One of Prof Refaat's (@itranslate123) asks to Malaysians was to keep funding higher education for Palestinians in Malaysia. Here is a fundraiser to help fund Palestinian students in Malaysia. They need help for their daily expenses. Please donate & share

“I am you. I am your past. And by killing me, you kill you.”

Activists in New York City held a vigil for Dr. Refaat Alareer, a Palestinian poet assassinated by Israel.

The activists read a poem by Refaat titled “I am you,” written to the soldiers of the Israeli occupation.

Came across Dr. Refaat Alareer's poem "If I must die" just a few days ago, I cried and couldn't help but translated it to Chinese without his permission. Now that he's gone.

[Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸 @itranslate123]

If I must die, let it be a tale.

Israeli journalist shared this clip, implying it is a failed propaganda clip from Hamas. Ironically, it is a scene from a Malaysian absurdist comedy telemovie from 2018. So not sure whose failed propaganda this is.

It’s been a month since this statement by Birzeit University Union was published. Each sentence is still powerful, and painfully true.

“An occupying colonial power cannot claim the right to self-defense against the people under its brutal occupation.”

Celebrated Hunter College professor Rosalind Petchesky was arrested at a sit-in organized by Jewish American activists from @jvplive in New York City.

"I am older than the state of Israel," she told Democracy Now! "That's why we're here, to say 'not in our name.'"

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

The Palestinian Ministry of Health says the death toll of the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to 8008, and the number is expected to exponentially grow as thousands are feared dead under the rubble.

#GazaGenocide

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

This is what genocide looks like. These are the 2913 Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military this month, as of Thursday, October 26. As the Israeli airstrikes on Gaza intensify, we recognize with horror and grief that this death toll is already inaccurate.
