Today, my sister Sabreen prepared a very delicious dessert that we haven't tasted for a long time. It's not just a recipe; it's a message of hope and life in the midst of the difficult circumstances we live in. Thank you for supporting us all🫂❤️🩹🫶

we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

@EinarKF Það er ekki alveg rétt. Fyrsti lögfræðingurinn hér segir sérstaklega að það hafi verið viljaverk (intent) að stunda þjóðarmorð og sannanir séu fyrir því. https://t.co/B2TeQbmG8K
@andresjons "Ekkert bendi til þess.." Hefur hann virkilega ekki gefið sér smá tíma og skoðað málflutning S-Afríku í þessu máli?
Myndböndin frá upphafi málsins fyrir réttinum eru fín leið til að kynna sér sönnunargögnin sem búið er að setja fram. Er ekki lögfræðingur en þau virka mjög sterk

An Israeli prisoner in Gaza
Alexander Turbanov, gave a surprising statement from occupied Israel upon his return:
“Your kindness will forever be etched on my soul.
I spent 498 days among you.
Despite the oppression and aggression you endured,
I learned from you the true meaning of manhood, pure bravery, humanity, and respect for values.
Even in captivity, you were free,
while I, being free, was a prisoner.
You protected my life.
Like a father treats his sons with love,
you cared for my dignity, health, and honor.
Though I was in the hands of people fighting for their land and stolen freedom,
and while my government was committing the worst genocide against a besieged nation,
you neither starved me nor humiliated me.
I saw the real meaning of manhood in your eyes.
I understood the value of sacrifice by living among you.
I saw you smiling even in the face of death,
against an enemy armed with weapons of mass destruction,
while you had nothing but your own bodies.
Even if I tried, I couldn’t find the words
to truly express your worth and status,
or to reflect my astonishment and admiration for your noble character.
Does your faith really teach you to treat prisoners this way?
How great is that belief
that raises you to such a level
where all man-made laws of human rights fall apart,
and all protocols of war pale in comparison to your example.
Even in the harshest of times, your justice and mercy stood out —
not just as slogans,
but in your actual behavior.
You never compromised on your principles,
no matter how dark the circumstances were.
Believe me, if I ever return,
I will live among you as a dedicated student,
because I have learned the truth from your people.
I have realized that you are not just the owners of the land,
but the owners of principles and justice.”
Sometimes I think I’ve become desensitized by the horrors from Gaza. Then I see something so shocking, I still drop my phone, shaking and crying.
I can’t bring myself to share the video of a little girl, face blackened and bloody, her intestines pouring out, still alive. Though not for long.
What we have allowed Israel to do is a shame we will carry for generations to come.
🚨Heart wrenching: This is my aunt’s grandson, the only survivor of his family. Israel killed his mother, his father, and his brothers. Whole families are being erased in Gaza !
SPEECHLESS ‼️
@WearThePeaceCo Children are the symbol of innocence and hope for the future. A world that lets this happen has lost its soul. Rest in peace little Hassan 💔
Everyone says: "I don't know how to help" but they can save this nonverbal autistic's child life if they share this & comment!
My brother Aser is a 15 year-old nonverbal autistic child who's been exposed to bombs, constant displacement, and trauma for almost a year now.
I only want organisations to notice him and helo evacuate him out of here because autistic children aren't supposed to be exposed to such sensory stuff, let alone famine, the loss of our home, car, and his bike!
Please I'm pleading to the whole world to help me.
Help me pull him out of this misery, please!
