This was Saleh, the dreamer, the one most of us never had the honor of seeing.
He had dreams like everyone else in Gaza. He was a ranked player in table tennis. He loved to sing and made songs before and during the genocide. He memorized all 600 pages of the Quran and loved Islam and he loved God. He was a Youtuber who started his journey on Youtube back in 2020 where he vlogged his life, added his songs, and showed the beauty of Gaza.
Saleh Aljafarawi, for 27 years of his life, lived under a brutal occupation whose only mission was to kill more Palestinians and steal more Palestinian land.
For two years, he starved with his people as he reported on limbless and bloody dead children, night and day. He ran towards airstrikes. He ran towards blood.
Saleh’s name in Arabic means “virtuous” and “righteous.” What a virtuous and righteous man this world has lost. He woke up millions of people to the ugliness of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine, and the greed and evil that runs our world.
He died telling the truth. Western journalists live to tell lies.
Palestine is bigger than just Palestine. Palestine is for every person who believes in freedom.
Saleh’s death will not be in vain. Glory be to the martyrs. Free Palestine. Free us all.

“Why aren’t you happy about the ceasefire”
Because we knew that they were full of shit and gonna keep murdering people.
This brave journalist survived the entire genocide just to get murdered today!
FUCK ISRAEL!!!
This was Palestinian journalist Saleh AlJafarawi’s final post before he was murdered today. He was on Israel’s list of journalists marked for assassination, the same list that Anas Al Sharif and Hossam Shabat were on. He was 28 years old. The genocide is not over.
If you are born into a family with financial security I actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
My take on digitalisation and government mobile app.
Government should not require anybody to download any apps to access any of the public services it offers.
As the nation moves to digitalisation, the standard should be with web app. You should be able to do what you need to do via a web browser without the need to download any mobile app.
A mobile app should be as an added convenience, not a requirement.
Here is why a web-first standard approach is better:
Web as a public utility: The web is universal, accessible across devices, and not subject to corporate gatekeeping. For government services, that neutrality is crucial.
The web is interoperable, for as long as you have a web browser you can access it. Design web applications to be mobile-friendly and work seamlessly on mobile screens.
Digital sovereignty: Depending on app stores introduces an external dependency that governments shouldn’t have. Citizens shouldn’t need an Apple ID or Google account to access public services they have a right to.
Apple or Google could decide one day to kick your app out of their app store, and what then? Do you require your citizen to side-load your app?
Accessibility & inclusion: A simple mobile-friendly web app can serve everyone, including those with older phones with limited storage.
Sure, mobile apps can offer features such as better push notifications, better offline access, or better integration with device capabilities, but those should only enhance, not replace the web option. Besides, most of these are achievable with PWAs anyway.
If you are someone close or in the position to influence policymakers, I hope you understand what I am getting at, the web-first digitalisation approach.
A mobile app should be a convenience, never a requirement. Digital Government services must be accessible to all citizens on the open web.
Bring back human customer service!! Enough with this AI chat thing that does NOT help anybody.
The AI chat should only be used to redirect customers to the right channel but the actual problem solving should go back to human 😤
we are taught not to burn bridges cos we might need people later. but i pray i never have to depend on anyone who has hurt or humiliated me. may God bless me with abundance so i never have to be in that position
Just saw a TikTok that says “We are all selective sinners. We choose the sins we are comfortable with, and judge the people who commit the sins we're not comfortable with” and I’m afraid this is true 😭
