That "touristic place" is our home. Taksim is where we go out, socialize, eat, and meet with our beloved ones.
You wouldn't set this headline if the target was a Western city. This is not responsible journalism. It's a shame.
I don’t know how to protect my daughters in the long term if we survive this- it’s already costly and I am asking them to process the impossible. It’s painful. My daughter can’t stay by herself a min and wants me near her all time. #GazaUnderAttack
Residential buildings were targeted, as usual. Civilian cars were targeted. Nobody can protect people or civilians in #Gaza no matter what statements they issue. We are always left alone to face these barbaric attacks. #GazaUnderAttack
Yesterday, #Gaza was full of life, enjoying the weekend & summer until everything changed at 4 16 PM, families on the beach were frantically evacuating, people were rushing to go home. Today, Gaza is all about black smoke, funerals & bombings. #GazaUnderAttack
I live in #Gaza, I have every right to live in #peace & prosperity without any bombings or closure or siege or occupation or violations of my rights under international law. I have the right to get visas, move around & live freely & safely. #GazaUnderAttack
Let's NOT NORMALIZE #Gaza or whatever we go thru here. Blockade is NOT NORMAL. occupation is NOT NORMAL. regual widescale attacks SHOULD NEVER BE NORMAL. CPTSD ISNT NORMAL. We might be numb but it doesn't make this ok or normal. #GazaUnderAttack
I live in #Gaza, I hereby declare that IT IS NOT OK FOR US TO BE THE SCAPEGOAT. No longer acceptable & we shall hold the world accountable for its silence & neglect. We are humans too, we have rights & we proved how biased the world is towards us. #GazaUnderAttack
BTW, my account is restricted in reach, I'm limited & probably censored. The outreach is nearly 0, many are DMing saying they can't see my tweets. Fuck it. I don't care. I'll keep on tweeting. #Gaza#GazaUnderAttack
Fuck emergency bags, fuck sleeping with shoes on, fuck the stress of following every piece of news to be prepared for the worst, fucking sleeping on the floor, fuck trauma, fuck wars, fuck occupation & fuck blockade. #GazaUnderAttack#Gaza
