@ChandimaKaru @onelanka Everybody with common sense knows that Tamil land means land belonging to Tamil, and we use the term because it's shorter and easier.

Everybody with common sense also knows that the occupation is done with the support of "relevant authorities".

I'm sorry for your loss.

My out of office message:

The past two years have been marked by an accumulation of losses. Loved ones. Colleagues. Friends. People deliberately targeted and killed by the Israeli army. I learned that grief does not arrive as a sequence of discrete events; it accrues. It settles into my body until I start to wonder not only what has been lost, but what remains.

There are moments when I suspect I have lost some part of my own humanity simply by witnessing so much death. I have watched people die in front of me in ways that resist description. I have lived inside a genocide as it unfolded, and I have watched another continue in Gaza, mediated through the relentless images on a tiny screen in my pocket that refuses to yield. The 24 hour image has dissolved the boundary between proximity and spectatorship. We can leave the scene, but the scene does not leave us.

Some images insist on permanence. On more than one occasion, I have watched paramedics carry bags containing the dismembered remains of children. There are sights that do not become memories because they never cease to be present. They have reorganized my inner life.

How much grief can a human being contain before it alters the architecture of the self?

I have been chased by a Merkava tank. A grenade has been thrown at me. Israeli quadcopters have circled overhead as instruments of intimidation. Sound bombs have become part of the atmosphere. Israeli snipers have opened fire on me eight times, most recently last Monday, while a group of us filmed the demolition of homes in Haddatha. Survival, repeated often enough stops feeling like triumph and just, almost mundanely, becomes another condition of witnessing.

This week brought another loss, one I had neither anticipated nor prepared myself to absorb. Its force has surprised me. Maybe grief does not become easier through repetition. Maybe each loss discovers a new vulnerability. For the next few days, I will step away from the field. Not because the work has become less necessary, but because mourning, too, demands its own uncompromising attention. My heart is in pieces.

آخر سنتين من حياتي كانوا تراكم مستمر للخسارات. أحبّة. زملاء. أصحاب. ناس انقصفوا وانقتلوا عن قصد على إيد الجيش الإسرائيلي. تعلّمت إنو الحزن ما بيجي كحادثة وحدة بتنتهي. بيتراكم. بيسكن بالجسد، لدرجة إنك بتبلّش تتساءل مش بس شو اللي خسرته، بل شو اللي بعده باقي منك.

في لحظات بحسّ إنّي خسرت جزء من إنسانيتي، بس لأنّي شهدت كل هالقدر من الموت. شفت ناس يموتوا قدّامي بطرق ما بتوصفها الكلمات. عشت على مقربة من إبادة جماعية وهي عم تصير، وشفت إبادة تانية مستمرّة بغزة، منقولة إليّ عبر شاشة ما بتطفي، شاشة ما بتترك مجال لوهم إنو في مسافة بتحميك. الصورة المستمرة على مدار أربع وعشرين ساعة ألغت الفرق بين إنك تكون قريب من الحدث أو مجرد متفرّج عليه. فيك تترك المكان، بس المكان ما بيتركك.

في صور بتفرض حالها إلى الأبد. أكتر من مرة شفت مسعفين حاملين أكياس فيها أشلاء أطفال. في مشاهد ما بتتحوّل إلى ذكريات، لأنّها ما بتغيب أصلًا. بتضلّ حاضرة، وبتعيد ترتيب العالم اللي جوّاتك.

قدّيش في إنسان يتحمّل حزن قبل ما يغيّر الحزن شكل روحه؟

ركضت قدّام دبابة ميركافا وهي عم تلاحقني. انرمت عليّ قنبلة. طائرات الكوادكوبتر الإسرائيلية ظلّت تحوم فوق راسي كوسيلة ترهيب. القنابل الصوتية صارت جزء من الهواء اللي منتنفّسه. والقنّاصة الإسرائيليون أطلقوا النار عليّ ثماني مرات، آخرها الاثنين الماضي، بينما كنّا مجموعة منّا عم نصوّر هدم البيوت بحَدّاثا. لما البقاء على قيد الحياة بيتكرّر مرارًا، ما بعود يُشبه الانتصار. بيصير مجرد شرط إضافي من شروط الشهادة على ما يجري.

وهالأسبوع حمل خسارة جديدة، خسارة ما كنت متوقّعها، ولا كنت مهيّأ استوعبها. وقعها عليّ كان أقسى ممّا تصوّرت. يمكن الحزن ما بيصير أخفّ مع التكرار. ويمكن كل خسارة بتكتشف نقطة ضعف جديدة فينا. لهيك رح ابتعد عن الميدان كم يوم، مش لأنّ الشغل صار أقلّ ضرورة، بل لأنّ الحداد، هو كمان، بيطالب بحقه الكامل، ومن دون أي مساومة.

Watch footage of an Israeli police officer throwing a stun grenade into a Palestinian vehicle in Qalandiya camp

Last night (Sunday), Israeli forces raided Qalandiya Refugee Camp near Ramallah. During the raid, a Border Police officer was filmed abusing a Palestinian driver and throwing a stun grenade into his vehiclewhile blocking the door and preventing him and the passengers from escaping.

In the same raid camp, Israeli forces shot and killed 16-year-old Walid Abu Sneineh and injured three other Palestinians.

The widespread and unprecedented killing of Palestinian children and teenagers in the West Bank is the result of an Israeli policy, which allows the killing and violent abuse of Palestinians with no accountability.

"There has never been an Israeli national convicted [of sexual violence] despite all the evidence."

One million Palestinians detained, many sexually abused, but zero convictions. International criminal law expert Triestino Mariniello explains why no Israeli national has ever been convicted despite evidence of sexual violence against many Palestinian detainees.

⭕️ Human Rights Watch’s Lebanon researcher points out that the new Israel-Lebanon framework requires Lebanon to forgo pursuing all legal claims and diplomatic actions against Israel in international political and legal forums.

That waiver would foreclose accountability for a war in which Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have documented extensive apparent war crimes by Israeli forces, including:

🔹 The demolition of more than 10,000 civilian structures in the south between October 2024 and January 2025, much of it carried out with explosives and bulldozers after the ceasefire and outside active combat, which Amnesty says must be investigated as a war crime

🔹 Attacks on medics and hospitals, including strikes that killed paramedics in Beirut and the south; Lebanon’s Islamic Health Association says Israeli forces killed 155 paramedics and destroyed 43 emergency centers during the war

🔹 The killing of journalists, including the October 2023 strike that killed Reuters photojournalist Issam Abdallah, which a UN expert found appeared to be a war crime

🔹 Indiscriminate attacks on civilians between September and November 2024, including unlawful strikes on residential buildings that killed children, per HRW and Amnesty

🔹 The widespread and unlawful use of white phosphorus in populated areas, documented by HRW

🔹 Repeated attacks harming UN peacekeepers (UNIFIL) in apparent violation of the laws of war

🔹 In the 2026 war that began March 2, more than 4,200 people have been killed in Israeli strikes, the majority of them civilians, with over one million displaced. Homes and infrastructure systematically destroyed.

🔹 That followed the earlier 2023-2024 war, after whose November 2024 ceasefire Israel killed more than 380 additional people, including at least 127 civilians, 57 of them in the first 60 days while trying to return home, per the UN

🔹Between October 2023 and the November 2024 ceasefire, Israeli strikes killed more than 3,961 people in Lebanon, including 248 children, 736 women, and 222 health and rescue workers, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry.

“They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.

They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.”

Palestinian prisoner Ayman al-Fakhouri has been released from Israeli prison today after 26 months behind bars without charge or trial, Quds News reported, sharing before-and-after images showing his severe physical deterioration in detention.

Israel’s widespread use of administrative detention allows Palestinians to be held indefinitely on secret evidence for renewable periods, without being told the accusations against them or facing trial. Palestinian and Israeli human rights groups, along with released detainees, have documented systematic torture, rape, starvation, beatings, and medical neglect across Israeli prisons since October 2023, conditions that have left many prisoners emaciated and that have killed scores in custody.

Al-Fakhouri’s gaunt appearance on release echoes that of other freed detainees, including journalist Ali al-Samoudi, who reportedly lost some 60 kilograms during his imprisonment.

Did you know Israel is the only state to have legalised torture through a Supreme Court ruling?

There was no accountability after a Palestinian detainee was filmed being raped by a dog at Sde Teiman in 2024.

The 22-minute monologue that begins this show offers clear, compelling proof that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.

It's then followed by a harrowing interview with Dr. Maynard and the atrocities he saw in Gaza.

Anyone denying the value of this is either a fraud who doesn't believe what they say about the Israeli/US genocide, or is very dumb, or both.
