[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I must write this down before the night devours me.
My father’s friend, a poet and a guardian of words, the son of a family that owns the oldest library in Gaza, that sacred house where history and imagination slept together like weary brothers… he is leaving.
Yes. Leaving.
He is fleeing Gaza City.

He wrote yesterday, with the voice of a man who has reached the last edge of human despair:
“I cannot take the books with me. If there is anyone who can save them, let him come. It would break my heart to see them burn, for I have placed my heart within them, and my heart will burn with them.”

This is not metaphor. This is not the polished language of salons.
He says plainly: my heart will burn.
And I believe him.

Dozens upon dozens of volumes, centuries of memory, law, history, economics, literature, the wisdom of the dead, now lie waiting to be carried away like children from a burning house. Not sold. Not bartered. Not traded. Offered. Offered as one offers a soul to anyone willing to save it from hell.

This is Gaza.
Where we are made to abandon, again and again, the last sacred pieces of our existence. Not ornaments. Not luxuries. But the very marrow of our being.
Here survival is surgery without anaesthetic: we cut away memory to keep the breath.
We cut away words to keep the body.
We cut away the past to stumble, blind, into a future that does not want us.
And so we go on, less and less human, until what is left is no man at all but a wound that breathes.

Here in Gaza, books are exiled with their writers. Letters are orphaned like children crying in the streets. Libraries, temples of memory, are scattered like bones, like families fleeing in the night.

And I ask: what remains?
What is left of us?
A people stripped bare, stripped of houses, of books, of the very act of remembering.
A people ordered to forget.
To forget!

But no.
No!
Every page that burns becomes a prophet. Every letter that turns to ash becomes a witness against heaven and earth.
If the houses fall, if the books burn, let it be known: this too is part of the crime. Not merely the killing of the body, but the attempted erasure of memory itself, the murder of the soul.

And yet, even as the pages blacken, they do not die.
They rise. Yes, they rise. As smoke into the night sky, into the face of God Himself, whispering:

We were here.
We wrote.
We dreamed.
We loved.

And I swear to you, if the world has any conscience left, one day it will hear them.
And it will tremble.
And it will kneel.

🇵🇸 🇸🇮 “How peace in the Middle East will be pursued is what will define history and generations to come. History is rarely about big words. History is about actions or lack of it…When writing history of our generation, Slovenia decided to use action…Slovenia recognized the State of Palestine.”

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israel has written one of the darkest pages in the history of genocide.

🚨BREAKING: Of the meagre 34 trucks of food and water given permission to enter the North Gaza Governorate over the last 2.5 months, deliberate delays and systematic obstructions by the Israeli military meant that just twelve managed to distribute aid to starving Palestinian civilians.

Sadly, this is not a surprise.

#famine is likely happening in northern #Gaza

This is man made.

Hunger has been weaponized by the State of Israel.

This deprives people in Gaza of the basics including food to survive.

What is being allowed into Gaza is not enough, an average of just over 30 trucks/ day. This is just over six per cent of the daily needs.

The way forward and most urgently:

- Political will to increase the flow of humanitarian + commercial supplies into Gaza.

- Political decisions to allow convoys to Northern Gaza on a regular + uninterrupted basis.

- Political will to reverse & address hunger.

It is not too late.

Yahya Sinwar provides a new perspective for the west about Hamas.

Why are they called terrorists?

The newly martyred leader was born into genocide and expelled from his home.

He was raised in a refugee camp amidst war.

He spent over 20 years in Israeli prison studying his faith and how to liberate his people.

How can we be so arrogant as to call his actions anything else than self-defense?

Why is our image of a terrorist a man dressed in a keffiyeh with an ak-47 instead of a suit and a nuclear code?

Perhaps we have been tricked.

Perhaps the people responsible for brainwashing us with media are the same ones currently committing genocide.

Perhaps the real terrorists are at home.

“It is time to act. Anything else is complicity and surrender. The Palestinian people enduring hell did not surrender. Neither should you. Stop the genocide.”

Do you stand with Gary Lineker?

Like if you do.

The people of Jabalia in Gaza are being systematically exterminated by Israel right now. Men, women, children, infants, are being massacred by siege, tank fire, air strikes, armed drones and more. What will it take for the world to stop this monstrous regime? #JabaliaMassacre

[Doctors w/o Borders @MSF_USA]

One year of all-out war on Gaza: “This has been a year of unrelenting horror and violence against civilians, with no end in sight."

As conflict continues to spread across the region, an immediate and sustained ceasefire is needed now more than ever.

@FootballSwissEN Do we know now which team plays in which city? (Looking for Switzerland and Sweden)

@kagimu_charles @cyclartist Good luck.

When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza the world would not believe it.

Israel said it was a misfired Hamas rocket and the mainstream media went into protection mode.

Israel has now destroyed all 36 hospitals, and bombed multiple refugee camps in Gaza… and not a single word of condemnation from the mainstream media or western governments…🇮🇱🇵🇸

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Palestine isn’t bombing UN facilities.
Palestine isn’t bombing hospitals.
Palestine isn’t bombing schools.
Palestine isn’t bombing refugee camps.
Palestine isn’t attacking aid workers.
Palestine isn’t attacking aid convoys.

Israel is doing this.
