Israel obliterates high-rise towers, apartment buildings, tent shelters and entire families trying to flee on foot and in vehicles https://t.co/DKpo2l0iWB
I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza.
"Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”
Same guy, two interviews. In the first, he is a fragile Jewish student, who feels unsafe on campus, because everything is antisemitic and everyone is plotting a second Holocaust. In the second, he is Goliath, raining death on unarmed Palestinians from a safe distance.
Israel & Hamas signed 7 ceasefire deals in 2008, 2012, 2014, 2019 & 2021 & 2025. Each deal followed a similar trajectory: Hamas mostly observed the agreement. Israel mostly did not, instead, preferring to murder the diplomats it was negotiating with:

The region's biggest terrorist group - which the US deems above the law & thereby free to do land theft & genocide - just bombed another capital, Doha, in pursuit of its political enemies.
Imagine if Iran set off a bomb in Washington to kill Israeli officials. What would we do?
Israelis do not want to end their genocidal war on Gaza because they will not know what to do with themselves if the war ends today. This is not about Netanyahu and his coalition, it is about how this entire “society” has indulged so deeply in bloodshed, sadism, and murder that there is no return from it anymore. Once you take joy, pride, and comfort in the mass murder of families and children, in starving people, in torturing and raping prisoners systematically, once you normalize the complete destruction of cities, the erasure of communities and memories, once you dig up graves and desecrate bodies, once you mutilate the dead, once you shoot hungry children in the head, once you do all of this every day for years without pause, you lose whatever is left of your humanity. You become a monster, and death and destruction become your only profession and industry. There is no return from this. Israel will not stop unless others stop it. And Gaza will not be the final stop. Genocide will expand and engulf the entire region.
Their message is clear: either the region submits to the will of Israel and its leaders, where Israel becomes the sole hegemon that conquers, occupies, assassinates, destroys, bombs, seizes resources, and controls strategic positions whenever and wherever it wishes, or the region will be punished and disciplined. That's it. Israel has now revealed its true, original, and authentic self: a murderous and genocidal machine that knows no bounds.
All those who hesitated, collaborated, or believed their silence, collaboration, or complicity would buy them safety and spare them Israel’s fury will regret it sooner or later. They will be forced to fight back, and they will be forced to defend themselves. The region will be at war for years, perhaps decades, and it will not see peace or stability until the very questions at the heart of this are resolved: occupation, tyranny, equality, and dignity. This could be stopped now if the international community had even a modicum of will and courage. But it does not seem like it.

Israel murdered a Reuters journalist. In a hospital.
As rescue workers tried to recover his body, Israel murdered them. Live on TV. Along with three more journalists.
Apparently "it's complicated".

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.
Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.
I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.
I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.
I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.
I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.
O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.
Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.
I truly have no words left. This world is watching as Israel carries out a boundless holocaust in Gaza and slaughtering every voice of truth and conscience.
to hell with this world. with Israel. with the whole of western order. throw zionism in the garbage where it belongs. dismantle Israel once and for all.
