"My reason to stay alive is to show people that there is a reason to stay alive. How about that?" - @julienrbaker

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

People show you examples of discrimination against Jews and it’s somebody wearing a watermelon pin or saying “from the river to the sea”. People show you examples of discrimination against Arabs and it’s families being burned alive in Palestine and Lebanon with western backing.

[Joel Webbon @JoelWebbon]

What the United Nations verified - not alleged, not reported, verified - is that Israeli forces raped prisoners with objects, raped them with dogs, shot them in the genitals, and did it consistently enough across enough facilities and enough years that they concluded it was policy rather than misconduct.

Israel called it a “blood libel.”

Whenever Israel breaks out that term, it’s eventually verified. AIPAC asset politicians and Israel First zionist clergy have assured us that Israel has the most moral military in the world. According to the report trusted by the U.S. for the last 15 years, the most moral military in the world has a huge rape problem.

@doctor_rahmeh No words for this. Why and how are Palestinians the villains in all of this?

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

White phosphorus ignites instantly on contact with oxygen. It burns at over 800°C. It melts through clothing, skin, muscle — and bone.

In the bloodstream, it becomes a systemic poison. It attacks the heart, liver, and kidneys leading to multi‑organ failure and death.

Monsters.

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

🚨Research from Save the Children: Palestinian children are being physically, emotionally and sexually abused, humiliated and starved in Israeli military detention.

The torture, and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of children, is getting worse.

🔴 More than half of the formerly-detained children we surveyed reported witnessing or experiencing sexual violence
🔴 99% reported physical assault
🔴 82% reported being forcibly stripped naked
🔴 94% reported being denied medical care
🔴 100% reported being denied contact with their families

[ilsh @mcdefenseless]

@mehdirhasan On my way!

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

This is considered among the most harrowing images documented in modern times

thousands of Palestinians weakened by starvation after hunger was used as a weapon. They lie on the ground to shield themselves from gunfire at the American aid center, struggling while waiting for limited food shipments to feed their children.

It is a deeply painful human scene that captures the scale of suffering and should not be erased from memory.

[ilsh @mcdefenseless]

@amarokdcs1 @Enz02023 @koshercockney Do you have a link? Where's the footage? I've thousands of hours of pictures and videos of Israeli crimes.

[ilsh @mcdefenseless]

@TonePoemTweets @Enz02023 @koshercockney Did you hear the one about Israeli torture prisons?

[ilsh @mcdefenseless]

@Whitelisted_1 @9psykj5zcp @koshercockney Do you have evidence of this? There is ample evidence that Israeli kids are taught to see Palestinians as inferior, and they are actively encouraged to make their lives difficult.

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

Oh Look. The Hasbara Bat Signal Went Up Again!

Nicholas Kristof publishes a story about Palestinians being tortured and sexually abused in Israeli prisons in the @nytimes … and suddenly, within HOURS, the entire Western media machine magically rediscovers Hamas rape stories all over again.

What incredible timing.

@CNN.

@BBC.

@CBC.

New York Times.

@globeandmail.

ABC Australia.

Times of Israel.

Le Monde.

New York Post.

Different countries.

Different newsrooms.

Different editors.

Yet somehow they all wake up the very same morning speaking in the exact same language:

“Systematic.”

“Deliberate.”

“Weaponized.”

It’s honestly impressive.

Like watching synchronised swimming for genocidal PR.

And of course the star witness behind this latest media frenzy is Cochav Elkayam-Levy, whose credibility was already torn apart in israeli media after she helped spread some of the most grotesque and still unverified October 7th atrocity propaganda.

The same ecosystem that gave us:

“40 beheaded babies.”

“Babies baked in ovens.”

Mass rape stories that kept changing every six weeks.

Claims so insane and inflammatory that even israeli media eventually started backing away from them.

Yet somehow these people are still treated by Western media like the fucking Warren Commission.

And notice how this works every single time.

The second Palestinians start being seen as human beings…

The second people begin talking about torture camps, rape, starvation, dead children, destroyed hospitals, mass graves, or Palestinians being disappeared into israeli prisons…

BOOM.

Emergency narrative deployment.

Suddenly every front page in the Western world is flooded with stories reminding you that Israelis are the real victims here.

It’s like clockwork.

And spare me the fake outrage from these media institutions.

These are the same outlets that spent nineteen months helping normalise:

The flattening of Gaza.

The mass killing of children.

The destruction of every university.

The bombing of hospitals.

The targeting of medics.

The starvation campaign.

The torture videos.

The sniping of journalists.

The endless parade of dead Palestinian families treated like weather updates.

But now...NOW...they suddenly care deeply about sexual violence.

How convenient.

And notice the difference in standards.

If Palestinians describe torture or rape inside israeli prisons?

“Claims.”

“Allegations.”

“Disputed.”

“Needs verification.”

If an israeli state-linked investigator says Hamas did something?

Instant global headline.

No skepticism.

No caution.

No restraint.

Straight onto the front page of every major newspaper on earth before breakfast.

Palestinians need forensic evidence, satellite imagery, DNA samples, twelve witnesses, and a signed note from God to be believed.

israeli officials just need a press conference and a grieving tone of voice.

And let’s be very clear:

This isn’t about protecting women.

These depraved assholes do not give a rat's ass about women.

You cannot spend almost two years excusing the obliteration of thousands of Palestinian women and girls,

defending torture camps,

laughing off dead mothers clutching shredded children,

and then suddenly pretend to be the global feminist task force.

What they care about is narrative dominance.

They needed Kristof’s story buried.

And fast.

So out came the emergency media package:

same framing,

same buzzwords,

same emotional triggers,

same coordinated roll-out,

same moral panic.

Because the one thing this machine cannot tolerate is sustained public attention on Palestinian suffering.

And what I know for sure is this:

A media system that treats Palestinian torture as a temporary inconvenience but israeli narratives as sacred scripture is not journalism.

It’s a media cartel whose job is to keep Palestinian death politically acceptable...

[Omar Hamad | عُـمَـرْ 𓂆 @OmarHamadD]

Before the existence of Israel, the world didn’t know that 70 kilograms of flesh in a plastic bag could equal an adult man, or that 20 kilograms of flesh in a plastic bag could equal a child.

This is the bloody civilization that Israel has created and exported to the entire world, a civilization built on blood, massacres, slaughter, and starvation; a civilization built on theft, looting, and lies; a civilization built on the silence and betrayal of a despicable world.

If they believe that we will forget and forgive, then they are fools.

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

THEY TOOK KIDS AGAIN

Israel KIDNAPPED 3 Palestinian Teenagers in a Nighttime Raid

Brothers Mohammad and Abdul-Hai Jaradat and their neighbor Nizar Baleegh Jaradat were pulled from Sa'ir, northern Hebron by a convoy of Israeli military vehicles. Their families were given no reason. No charges. Just gone.

350 Palestinian children are now in Israeli prisons. 180 of them have NEVER been charged with a single count. That is the highest rate of uncharged child detention ever recorded since monitoring began in 2008.

Israel is the ONLY country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in military courts. The Red Cross has been banned from visiting Palestinian detainees since October 2023 with no independent oversight of any kind.

If ANY OTHER COUNTRY ran this same system, the U.S. would already be bombing it. So why does Israel get $4 billion a year instead?

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

One of the most horrifying things happening in Gaza right now something the world barely knows about is that we are now trapped inside an area no larger than 133 square kilometers out of Gaza’s original 336 square kilometers.

More than two million people are crowded into this tiny, suffocating space, creating one of the highest population densities in the world, literally.

But the real catastrophe is not only the lack of space it is that this area itself is no longer fit for human life. Everything around us has become rubble, tents, and destroyed homes. There are no proper schools, no functioning hospitals, no infrastructure, no electricity, and no clean water. People are surviving among destruction, disease, epidemics, hunger, and constant fear.

Every single day we wake up to news that more areas have been taken over, and the space we are confined to keeps shrinking further and further, until it feels like we are being slowly pushed toward complete suffocation. Our homes disappeared inside those areas, and until this moment we know nothing about them, as if our entire previous lives have simply been erased.

The situation here is becoming more terrifying with every passing day. Children fall asleep to the sounds of bombardment and fear, while families live without any sense of safety or stability.

No one knows how long this endless nightmare will continue. What is happening can no longer be endured, and there is an urgent and immediate need for intervention to save more than two million people trapped in conditions no human being should ever have to live through.

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

The @BBC just parroted the Israeli army’s narrative about yesterday’s killings in Lebanon. They said that they were striking Hezbollah targets and even mentioned that the ‘IDF said they killed 10 Hezbollah operatives.’ They failed to mention the Syrian laborer and his 12 year old daughter who were hunted and executed by an Israeli drone and also conveniently forgot to mention international law, which dictates that legitimate targets are only on the battlefield during active hostilities. There is no battlefield right now. We are in a ceasefire. Every person they kill, Hezbollah member or not, has civilian status.

Israel is being allowed by the world to carry on a killing spree. What makes you think they will stop here?

[Rabbi David Mivasair @RabbiMivasair]

Don’t like people wearing watermelon pins at your shitty medical conference?

Don’t care.

“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” makes you feel scared?

Don’t care.

Seeing Palestinian flags on university campuses upsets you?

Don’t care.

A student calling Israel an apartheid state hurts your little feelings?

Don’t care.

A doctor speaking publicly about Palestinian children being massacred feels “divisive” to you?

Fuck you.

People refusing to condemn Palestinian resistance makes you uneasy?

Don’t care.

Hearing the word “genocide” feels inflammatory to you?

Don’t care.

A keffiyeh in a workplace gives you a panic attack?

Don’t care.

“Globalise the intifada” sounds genocidal to you?

Don’t care.

People interrupting politicians feels disrespectful to you?

Don’t care.

You no longer being able to monopolise victimhood makes you angry?

Truly could not care less.

What I care about are the Palestinian children being burned alive.

The doctors being tortured.

The families erased under rubble.

The starvation.

The concentration camps.

The destruction of Gaza’s hospitals and universities and refugee camps and entire civilian infrastructure.

But for the nearly last 1,000 days and decades prior, Western institutions have demanded everyone stop and carefully tend to Jewish emotional discomfort instead.

Not Palestinian lives.

Not Palestinian suffering.

Not Palestinian speech.

Zionist discomfort.

Zionist fragility.

Zionist political sensitivity—elevated, enforced, and institutionalised across universities, hospitals, media outlets, professional associations, politicians, donors, and advocacy groups.

All working in sync to transform Zionist discomfort into institutional emergency.

While Palestinian suffering is rendered invisible.

While Palestinian speech is disciplined.

While Palestinian humanity is treated as negotiable.

That is the function of the Jewish Feelings Industrial Complex.

Not safety.

Not care.

Not protection.

Institutionalised Zionist emotional management at scale.

Fuck every single institution that constantly weaponizes “Jewish safety,” “Jewish discomfort,” and “Jewish feelings” to justify censorship, repression, career destruction, anti-Palestinian racism, and silence in the face of mass atrocity.

If a watermelon pin destabilises you more than the annihilation of Gaza, the problem is not the watermelon pin.

The problem is you.

Baby Maryam Fahs was killed alongside her mother, Jana Fahs, and several relatives in the massacre carried out by Israeli forces today in the town of Saksakiyeh in southern Lebanon.

[Nada Maucourant Atallah @MaucourantNada]

An Israeli drone targeted a 12 year old girl THREE times today in Nabatieh. She and her father were on a motorcycle when they were first struck. They both survived, but the drone hit again, killing her father. As the wounded child fled, the drone struck a third time.

The girl survived, but is seriously injured and is being treated in hospital.

[Sameh Ahmed 𓂆 🇵🇸 @PalPress24]

“With these bullets fired by the occupation army from behind the yellow line for amusement, dozens have been killed and injured inside their tents:
The child Ahmed was killed while having breakfast with his parents blood burst from his head and mouth.
Fatima was killed while breastfeeding her baby.
Hala was killed while writing her school lessons.
And many others.”
