My window back home, where Tom loved to sit and watch me work.. before & after Israel’s carpet-bombing of my neighborhood in Gaza City

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Exactly four months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. Almost 15,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened.

[Safa Joudeh @SafaJoudeh]

My father is the ObGyn who treated this women. A countless number of patients he treated have either been killed or lost children in Israel's onslaught. His fertility clinic was ransacked by Israeli soldiers, set on fire and hit by two missiles. The eggs and embryos that remained there have been lost.
Israel's war on Gaza is a war on life itself.

[Ryan Al-Natour | ريان الناطور @DrRyanAlNatour]

Gaza City was once home to a vibrant Deaf community. The Israeli Genocide of Palestinians has terrorised them. Today, those who remain are starving.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

This isn’t Gaza.

This is Damascus.

Israel is currently bombing 3 different countries at the same time, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and not a peep from the “international community”.

[Writers Against the War on Gaza @wawog_now]

Before live-streaming his self-immolation, Aaron Bushnell looked at the camera and said: “Compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, this is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal."

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something."

Jezebel was a good website. Our statement:

[ayan. @artan_ayan]

The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

[Aseel AlBajeh أسيل البجة @AseelAlBajeh]

The Ministry of Health just published the names of 7028 Palestinians, including 2913 children killed in #Gaza.

Scrolling over this is so painful. The first 88 names are from the same family! The next 72 from one family! And the undescribable pain goes on. No words.

132 Indigenous activists, artists, and intellectuals condemn Israel's ongoing genocide against Palestinians. @dallasgoldtooth @FrankWaln @The_Red_Nation @uahikea @ndncollective @NickTilsen @EllenGabriel1 @NSegoviaEsq @NatalieGDiaz @RedPedGrl

completely in awe of this bravery! do you know what it takes to do this is in the face of an occupier like isr*el? what these people are risking? from the river to the sea ♥️

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

Gaza tonight.

When the skies are lit with terror. Never forget the “civilized nations” that claim to be “peacemakers” governed by “international law” that manufactured this genocide.

Shame.

[Hanna Alshaikh - هناء الشيخ @hanna_alshaikh]

Not a single phone in Gaza can be reached right now. Israel completely cut off all communications to Gaza. No internet, no landlines. This is a total blackout. Every person you know from Gaza has completely lost contact with their loved ones.

We know what comes next.

[Mohammed El-Kurd @m7mdkurd]

This phone call is from a journalist stationed at a Gaza hospital. He is able to make a call because of data roaming on Turkish SIM card. Translation:
“We’re in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. We have no idea what’s happening. There’s no connection, no Wi-Fi, no reporters. We’re cut off from everything.. People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner. The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on. You can’t reach anyone, even if they’re only 500 meters away. Ambulances and medics are begging reporters to let them know which streets are getting bombarded to go rescue the victims but the reporters themselves don’t know where anything is happening [because of the connection loss]. We are trying to report the news but we have no idea what’s happening.”

[micha @micha_frazer]

Beautiful action from @theDykeProject, which has hacked over 100 ads across TfL bus, rail and tube networks to share queer Palestinian stories, and show queer solidarity with Palestinians.

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

Let's create a thread of companies and institutions that are currently engaged in McCarthyism and blacklisting of reporters, political staffers, authors, or anyone else.

I'll drop examples, with screenshots, below. Principled people will unfollow these companies and cut ties.

“Witnesses say the suspect drove away in a white Tesla. They describe him as young, early 20s with shoulder-length brown curly hair, wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat, a bright teal hoodie and jeans.”
