C’est la première fois de ma vie que je vois un fleuve de sang sous mes yeux… Et pourtant, on continue à scroll comme si ce génocide était devenu légitime
i don’t think people really fathom the gravity of the Palestinian genocide or a glimpse of it. Palestinians in Gaza can NOT escape. they are airtight trapped and guarded by most powerful and advanced military/tech on the planet. literally all they can do is anticipate death.
Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.
A Palestinian father is mourning his 3-year-old son that was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers.
Bahaa Abu al-Ajeen says IDF soldiers fatally shot his son Rayan in the head, while simultaneously wounding Bahaa as well.

This poem was one of the hardest to write. Not only as a Palestinian who witnessed and survived the worst of atrocities, but as a father of three children.
When I wrote that poem, I didn’t know her name or her father’s. I didn’t know her age or exactly when and where she was killed.
Now I do. Her name was Layan al-Majdalawi. She was two years old. She was killed in Nov 2023.
That father and child could be me and my one of my kids.
Today my friend artist Hannah Maguire illustrated the poem and sent it to me. 💔💔

massacre tonight in the Gaza Strip. They are trying to recover the body of a boy who is under the rubble after the indiscriminate bombing by the Israeli terrorist army

An absolutely astonishing account of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in the @latimes
They called 62-year-old Ahmad Turmus and asked: “Ahmad, you want to die with those around you or alone?” His response, below, is chilling.

Thread with some of the unspeakably depraved acts of rape and sexual assault by Israelis against Palestinians detailed in this piece:
Nayef Samarou had just brought his wife to a Nablus hospital to give birth to their first child. While stepping out to visit a nearby supermarket, he was shot and killed by Israeli terrorist forces.
I am so heartbroken.
Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen.
At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears.
I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today.
Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.
This is Jihad Al-Dardasawi, 49 years old, a resident of Al-Turkman Street in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood. His wife had prepared food at their home in Shuja’iyya, and he borrowed an electric bike from his neighbor to deliver the meal to his brother, who was receiving treatment at Al-Shifa Hospital in the western part of Gaza City. Eyewitness reports indicate that he was targeted by an Israeli drone for no reason, purely for amusement, as part of the random killings carried out during the genocide in Gaza.
I do not understand how a human being can kill another human who has a family, children, and a whole life with all its hardships—someone who has dreams and secrets like anyone else in this world.
