Certaines lectures arrivent à certains moments de notre vie, elles entrent en nous pour faire partie de nous.
Même si l’ouvrage est maintenant fermé, rangé dans une bibliothèque, son existence et son impact ne disparaissent pas.
Et le support physique ne fait pas tout.
Rest in peace my father…
Rest in peace my brothers…
Rest in peace my sisters…
Rest in peace my 14 nieces and nephews…
Rest in peace my cousins…
Rest in peace my friends…
Rest in peace my people…
May I never lose loved ones again.
BREAKING: ISRAELI MINISTER ELI COHEN OFFICIAL STATEMENT
“We would prefer not to reach peace agreements if they would lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state.”
This semester, I will be teaching Arabic and Arab American Literature at San Francisco State University. The class will begin with Refaat Alareer’s poetry and edited anthology, Gaza Writes Back, and close with Wisam Rafeedie’s novel The Trinity of Fundamentals,
The news from Gaza tonight are so hard to read. Increased violence. Real starvation in the north. Extreme cold throughout. And people live in makeshift tents. Hardly any drinking water. Even canned food isn’t available anymore in northern Gaza. We are exhausted. Ceasefire now.
I sincerely appreciate the overwhelming support and love from everyone who reached out to me during this challenging time. The reason for my absence is the severe illness affecting my children. Unfortunately, my little girl has been experiencing vomiting and symptoms of stomach flu, and despite seeking medical assistance nearby, her condition has not improved. After a brief period of improvement, she relapsed, and our optimism faded. Numerous friends have tried to help me find a way to evacuate my children, but so far, nothing has proven successful. I have decided to temporarily halt reporting on the ongoing genocide to focus solely on saving my children. Rita, especially, requires urgent attention, and I am determined to take her to the hospital to identify and address the root cause of her illness. Regrettably, their father's student visa restricts his ability to assist, and placing Rita on the injured/sick list hasn't yielded results due to the non-critical classification of her condition. Despite being prepared to cover any necessary expenses, we are desperate for a solution. If assistance in finding a way out is not provided within two days, I am left with no choice but to head to the Rafah border, prepared to stay there until a resolution is reached. The individuals controling the border are, in essence, endangering our lives and slowly killing us, and I cannot bear to witness my children's death before my eyes!

Avec l'assassinat du n°2 du Hamas, nous avons une preuve : Israël sait réaliser des assassinats ciblés.
Alors pourquoi bombarder pendant 3 mois toute une population, tuant des femmes, enfants, journalistes, vieillards... qui n'ont demandé que le respect de leurs droits ?
