“‘Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose — to help people,’” he said… the paramedic who filmed the video was later found with a bullet in his head in the mass grave.”
SCOOP: We obtained video footage showing Israel attacked the convoy of aid workers in Gaza with a barrage of bullets, a paramedic frantically says his prayers of death. The ambulances had lights on & were marked refuting Israel's claim. w/ @ckoettl

This is Hossam’s team, and we are sharing his final message :
“If you’re reading this, it means I have been killed—most likely targeted—by the Israeli occupation forces. When this all began, I was only 21 years old—a college student with dreams like anyone else. For past 18 months, I have dedicated every moment of my life to my people. I documented the horrors in northern Gaza minute by minute, determined to show the world the truth they tried to bury. I slept on pavements, in schools, in tents—anywhere I could. Each day was a battle for survival. I endured hunger for months, yet I never left my people’s side.
By God, I fulfilled my duty as a journalist. I risked everything to report the truth, and now, I am finally at rest—something I haven’t known in the past 18 months . I did all this because I believe in the Palestinian cause. I believe this land is ours, and it has been the highest honor of my life to die defending it and serving its people.
I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free.”
— For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza.
scary movie time: started with 28 days and 28 weeks later. the former looks like its shot on a flip phone and has a climax that works best if you think of it like a big music video. the latter realized that if you play the one cool song from the first movie a bunch, thats plenty
longlegs: echoes of silence of the lambs and zodiac. moody, suspenseful, scary. but what really makes this movie shine are the laughs. longlegs, you are the living end!
Israeli occupation forces just bombed the tents of displaced people around Al-Aqsa Hospital, causing citizens to be trapped and burn inside their tents while they were sleeping , massacres are non stop.
