So people are very mad about this and can’t fathom how. It’s simple. When I was four, I saw Muhammad Al-Durrah get murdered by Israel on live news. I saw this child get murdered by Israel while in his father’s arms. If this doesn’t radicalise you, then you’re the problem.
Wael Al-Dahdouh (he/him) - @WaelDahdouh - is a journalist for Al Jazeera and the chief of its bureau in Gaza City since 2004. He has worked for the Palestinian newspaper Al-Quds, and is a journalism veteran. Most of his family was sadly killed by Israeli strikes.
Plestia Alaqad (she/her) - @byPlestia - is a citizen journalist and travel blogger, formerly an HR professional. She has been posting video diaries from Gaza - and even from Egypt as she had to flee in November. Her work has been a reminder of how beautiful Gaza can be.
Motaz Azaiza (he/him) - @azaizamotaz9 - is a photographer best known for capturing life in the Gaza Strip. He works for the UNRWA. His photo titled "Seeing Her Through My Camera" (depicting a girl being picked up from rubble) was named one of TIME's top 10 photos of 2023.
Bisan Owda (she/her) - @wizardbisan - is the one you're probably familiar with. She's a young filmmaker who has worked with the UN on gender equality and climate change, and most recently this genocide. Her focus is social media. She called the strike, and is why we're all here.

You may have heard a couple of names floating around social media - and I do mean ONLY social media - who have been vital to getting the facts about the genocide in Palestine right now. Let me highlight them for you.
if you can afford it, any time is as good as ever to donate an esim to a palestinian at https://t.co/R0SVIf2STt, but the 21st will also be a good day to do so as well
in december many people worked to get #StrikeForGaza trending, so the goal of the day if you choose to be on social media is to spend the day educating and platforming palestine, and to not take away from any of the important discussions at hand
the last strike called for a total boycott of all goods for the day, putting pressure on corporations and governments with a total withdrawal from the economy that day. the idea is to center your whole day around calling for a ceasefire and centering palestine in your discussions
so bisan has called for another global strike on the 21st, and since people complained that last time was "without enough notice" here's some ways to educate yourself + prepare for the strike this time around:
