Last night, Israeli occupation forces dropped barrels over the skies of Gaza. When we saw them, we thought: finally, perhaps this world will have mercy on us from this injustice, and they will kill us while we sleep.
But about half an hour later, those barrels opened in the sky, resembling bubbles. Unfortunately, there was no death inside them.
Instead, an extremely foul smell, like feces, spread everywhere. It seeped into homes and tents, into people’s chests and their breathing.
My nephew Fathi, who suffers from asthma, could not sleep all night. More than once, he choked and struggled to breathe because of the smell.
Even the air is something they begrudge us. They want to take away our last breath.
They want us to breathe the stench of this world’s filth—the smell of helplessness and complicity with all of this terrorism.
We are facing one of the lowest and dirtiest occupations in history. An occupation that does not want us to live, and does not even want us to breathe.
Increasingly clear Israel is seen as an international pariah.
These are the countries whose delegations reportedly walked out of the UN General Assembly during Netanyahu's speech.
Their total population is: 2,466,957,527 people.
That accounts for roughly 30.4% of the world population.
That's 77 countries out of 193 UN member states = 39.9% of all UN member states

בגלל העניין והחשיבות הציבורית אני ורחלי החלטנו ביחד עם הגרדיאן שהסרט נז״א יהיה נגיש באינטרנט בחינם, ללא הגבלת זמן, כדי שכל אדם יוכל לצפות בו ובעדויות החיילים. זה יקרה בעוד כמה שבועות, בנובמבר, במועד הכי מוקדם שהצלחנו לקבוע. עד אז פנינו לבתי קולנוע בישראל והצענו להם את הסרט ללא עלות, בתקווה שיוקרן בארץ כבר עכשיו, במקביל להפצתו בבתי קולנוע בעולם. הצגתו תהיה ה��לטה אמיצה אל מול אלימות גדולה שמכוונת להסתרתו. אני יודע שיש ביקוש אדיר לצפות בסרט ואני מקווה שבאופן הזה כולם בקרוב יוכלו לראות אותו: בין אם בבתי הקולנוע ובין אם באינטרנט בעוד כמה שבועות.
הרבה דברים לא נכונים נאמרו עלינו ועל הסרט בשבוע החולף. הסרט מבוסס על תחקיר עיתונאי מקיף של שלוש שנים והפרטים בו מאומתים ומוצלבים. הוא ידבר בעד עצמו והאמת סופה להתבהר.
עשינו את הסרט כדי לעורר דיון ציבורי לגבי המעשים של הממשלה בעזה, ההרג של יותר מ73,000 בני אדם, רובם אזרחים, הנרמול של מלחמת השמדה, של התפיסה ש״אין בלתי מעורבים״. עשרים וארבעה חיילים וחיילות עשו צעד ודיברו מול מצלמה על מה שחברה שלמה לא רוצה לדבר עליו.
ההכרה בזוועות בעזה לא מפחיתה לרגע מהטבח הנפשע של השבעה באוקטובר, שחמאס אחראי עליו, שחיילים מדברים עליו בסרט, ושאין לו שום הצדקה. להפך. הרי ההתעלמות ממה שקורה בעזה היא מהגורמים שסללו את הדרך לשבת הנוראה ההיא. וההתעלמות הזו נמשכת.
עיתונות היא לא בגידה. ביקורת היא לא בגידה. זו חובה של כל אזרח שממשלתו מבצעת פשעים לדעת ושל כל ��ייל שהיה עד להם לספר. מסתובבים כאן אלפי חיילים כאלה, שיצפו בסרט ויזהו את מה שמתואר בו באופן אישי: את ההרג של אנשים לא חמושים שחוצים קו מדומיין, את אישורי הנז״א במאות, את התקיפות המערכתיות בבתי משפחות, את השריפה וההשמדה הפיזית של עזה, רצח וירי על אנשים רעבים במרכזי מזון ופשעים נוספים שאין להם הצדקה. גם אם זה מפחיד, זו חובתכם למצוא את הדרך להעיד על מה שראיתם. יגידו לכם שכדאי להסתיר את האמת למען הסברה בחו״ל, אבל זה קשקוש. שם יודעים כבר הכל. פשעים לא מסבירים אלא עוצרים. הסתרת האמת קודם כל מרעילה את החברה שלנו ומעל הכל מאפשרת לפגיעה בבני אדם בעזה להימשך.
ובנימה אישית: אני כותב על מדיניות האש של הצבא בעזה בעברית ב״שיחה מקומית״ כבר שלוש שנים. התחקירים זכו להתעלמות בישראל. עכשיו בפעם הראשונה משהו נסדק במסך ההתעלמות - וזה דבר חיובי. זה דבר בריא. כן, זה מגיע עם מחיר אישי גדול. היה שבוע קשה. אבל בתוכו גם יש המון תמיכה, והרבה נדיבות. מה שבטוח: האיומים לא יעזרו. זה לא מרתיע אותנו. אני ורחלי נחזור לארץ ונמשיך להיאבק על עתיד המקום הזה ביחד עם שותפים רבים.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's lies about @NYCMayor don't change the fact that Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal who has blocked justice for Americans killed on his watch.
If there's anyone who should be shamed & ashamed, it's him.
He's lucky he was even allowed into our country.
Vladimir Putin couldn't deliver a speech at the UN General Assembly due to ICC arrest warrant, but Benjamin Netanyahu can deliver his speech at the UN even with ICC arrest warrant! How much Zionist lobby have control over the UN and US.
This world has completely lost its meaning
Gaza’s Ministry of Development called for the urgent entry of half a million shelter items, 200,000 new tents and 300,000 weather-resistant tarpaulins, as displaced Palestinians prepared for another winter in overcrowded camps, deteriorating tents and damaged buildings.
Help support @shwatteen continue his public health initiatives teaching orphaned children proper #hygiene and handwashing. Look how excited the #kids were to just receive new toothpaste and toothbrushes! Every #child deserves to live in safety and #peace.
Are there any #dentists who would want to sponsor the next event? @DentalSaudi@GLADDUK
More than 900 wheelchairs donated by Australian charities for children who lost limbs in Israel's genocide have been stuck in a Jordan warehouse for up to 18 months, blocked by Israel, which reportedly classified them as "dual-use" military items.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya'nın oğlu:
"Dünyanın tüm özgür insanlarına, insan vicdanlarına ve tüm sivil toplum kuruluşlarına sesleniyorum.
Babam artık nefes almakta ve konuşmakta zorlanıyor. Yüzü, gördüğü işkence nedeniyle tanınmaz halde.
Büyük bir yalnızlığa terk edildik. Dünyanın tüm özgür insanlarına ve kalbinde bir nebze insanlık olan herkese, çok geç olmadan babamın hayatını kurtarmaları için yalvarıyoruz.
Belki de bu son yardım çığlığımız olacak. Belki bir daha babamdan haber alamayacağız.
Sizden tek istediğimiz, size yalvardığımız şey şu: Gafletinizden uyanın, çok geç olmadan. Sessizlik babamın işkencesine ortak olmaktır."

Time has run out, and the lives of all patients are now at risk of death at any moment from now on.
Yafa Hospital in Deir al-Balah announced today the suspension of diagnostic radiology services, including the CT scanner, which was the only one still operating in the Gaza Strip, following the suspension of CT and radiology services at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City.
The suspension of this device means that thousands of patients in the Gaza Strip are now deprived of the necessary examinations and diagnoses, threatening the lives of many of them and further increasing the severity of the already deteriorating health conditions.
According to the hospital, the radiology services were suspended due to the interruption of fuel supplies and the lack of the oils necessary to operate the engines.
In Gaza, it is no longer only a matter of shortages of treatment and medicine; patients are now losing even the ability to access essential diagnostic tools that may determine the course of their lives.
Here, the problem may not only be the absence of treatment, but that a patient may not even get the chance to find out what is threatening their life.
When you advocate for the continued suffering of Palestinian children then your stance becomes quite obvious. That’s why you get called out on it, not because people are “pro abortion.”
That’s where this all falls apart… yes, while there are some tunnels under Gaza, just like there are in Israel with entire subterranean command centers and hospitals. However, there are not thousands of miles of tunnels. Additionally, there are no bomb shelters because Israel blocked the construction material for them.
The fact of the matter is, people should not have to shelter underground to avoid 2000 lb bombs falling on their heads. And why was Israel dropping those bombs when they knew it would be the civilians being harmed if Hamas was safely hiding in the tunnels, hmmmm?
@Filmreview954@Fl_Patriot_@mfrager7@3zat9 I don’t support Hamas either. You support the IDF, which evolved from 3 internationally recognized terrorist groups and who is committing a horrific genocide. The projection is off the hook… I suggest you work on this.
@beethovengal@Loster@ukvillafan@Tamer_Alnoaizy I’m very aware of what pro-life means, Carolyn. I was pointing out you only care about children in the womb and not after they are born. *whoosh*
What do you mean by civilians? Hamas has called for international forces to visit Gaza, yes. Who is blocking that? Israel.
None of that is true, Mike. Israel has violated the ceasefire over 4300+ times. Maybe Israel needs to lay down their weapons and allow international journalists and agencies into the Gaza Strip to stabilize the situation? Hamas is no longer the governing body and every time local government tries to form, Israel bombs them. Please explain to us what it is about your personal identity that requires you to run cover for a genocide?
