I'm afraid of what is meant to follow the assassination of Khaled Nabhan. hear me out...

Israel's modus operandi is to push the boundary to see what it can get away with. For example, frustrated by international activists in Palestine, they decided to kill one or two to see what they could get away with. Rachel Corrie, Tom Hurndall, etc were thus killed in cold blood. However, there were lawsuits and various reverberations that were costly to them. In other words, there was sufficient outrage and resistance to make them rethink that strategy.

Their desire to bomb hospitals in Gaza also preceded in this way. Recall the first hospital they hit? They tested the waters by targeting the courtyard of the Al-Ahli hospital first. There was initial outrage tamped by their muddling of the narrative. This paved the way for the much bigger target: Al Shifa hospital, the largest and most advanced hospital in Gaza. They employed the same playbook in collusion with corporate media solidly in their pockets (BBC, CNN..all of them). It worked. The bombing of hospitals was normalized and no one batted an eye as Israel proceeded to bomb, gut, invade, and destroy one hospital after another, killing, kidnapping, torturing, and raping healthcare workers and patients alike.

This is how they made their way into Rafah, the supposed "red line," and turned every so-called "safe zone" into an actual death camp.

This is how they've been assassinating journalists.

This is what happened with the assassination of the World Central Kitchen workers. Remember the first time? the second time they did it did not elicit any meaningful headlines or coverage at all.

There are a few personalities that have emerged from Gaza who've become much beloved and iconic symbols of love, light, endurance, dignity, family, community, and faith. Khaled Nabhan was one of them, and they just killed him.

Make no mistake that this was an intentional assassination to test our reactions; to see if they can get away with killing the next internationally known Palestinian with millions of followers. We all know who they are—those amazing people whose light on this earth shines too bright for the darkness of the Israeli soul.

🚨This will be the last post we share here.

We believe there is no point in telling our human stories anymore; everyone has grown accustomed to seeing us killed. It's no longer worth the risk to send our voice out to a world that is content with mere solidarity. Even many of our human stories no longer interest people (even our voice is being ignored).

It's time to stop waiting for a savior and to help ourselves survive.

Please try to keep us in your prayers.

To be clear: Imane Khelif is a cis woman. She is simply a victim of attempts to chase trans women out of sports through supposed "objective" criteria for womanhood, that inevitably come back to harm both trans and cis women.

[Tariq Kenney-Shawa @tksshawa]

A “powerful but careful message” that Israel can carry out meticulously planned assassinations in a hostile countries hundreds of miles away, avoiding any other “collateral damage,” but must kill 40,000 + Palestinians in Gaza and leave the entire territory unlivable.

BREAKING: An influential fanatical Zionist propagandist has just come out and admitted that Israel is engaged in actual systematic mass rape of Palestinians, and that they do it to those they know are innocent. He admits he was lied to by his own government, media and friends

Between the data available to us and the performance of Xbox's 2023 games compared to Hi-Fi Rush, it's not that executives won't give an answer, but that they can't.
