[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

When some things end in your life, often there is a certain moment, a certain episode, where you know you cannot do it any longer. You know it's over.

I had my final and complete disillusionment with my country the summer they shot and killed 223 and wounded thousands of demonstrators using live fire during the 'The Great March of Return'.

Every weekend, from March 2018 until December 2019, Gazans would gather along the border with Israel, with thousands and thousands in attendance. They wanted to break the siege and attract the world's attention to their plight and oppression under so many years of brutal occupation, with no end in sight.

They were quiet demonstrations: no Israeli soldier was hurt in any of them (there may have been one case of counter-violence by Palestinians, and maybe not even that).

Israel's murderous overreaction that time was placing tens, or maybe even hundreds of snipers in positions overlooking the border and the adjacent Gaza lands. Those snipers shot and shot and shot people in unbelievable numbers. on May 14th, 2018, 52 Palestinians were killed in one demonstration.

Rouzan al-Najjar, a 20-year-old nurse, was sniped to death two weeks later, on the 1st of June. She was hundreds if meters away from the fence. Her death may have been what broke me.

Or maybe it was the complete obedience of everyone in the IDF. No one said: we cannot do that. This is insane. No one felt bad about it. I felt like I was losing my mind.

Or maybe it was the big live concert at the center of Tel Aviv that very summer, given by Israel's fresh Eurovision winner, a day or two after one of the bloodiest weekends in The Great March of Return. It was a big deal, and everyone was happy and celebrating and proud.

On Local Call, the Hebrew version of +972 Magazine, I wrote an article titled "Accept that it is over". In that article, I also wrote that I was not going to vote in Israeli elections again, as there was no point, particularly as so many people who are ruled by Israel cannot vote.
-
2018 seems like so long ago now. It was before Covid, before October 7th, before the genocide. But it was that summer, that year, that I knew I lost my country.

And the absolutely beautiful, angelic face of Rouzan al-Najjar brings tears to my eyes to this day. To this moment. It is such a heartache. Such a loss to this world. Such a stupid, monstrous crime.

There has to be justice for Palestine someday. There simply must be.

Dr Hussam Abu Safiya has been moved by the israelis into solitary confinement: more abuse: his condition’s critical | via @SaulStaniforth

“This is the last time you will see me. They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan hospital who was abducted by Israeli forces over a year and a half ago and imprisoned without any charges, told his lawyer over this past weekend that he believes that the Israeli government is about to kill him.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Israeli soldiers are reportedly torturing Dr Abu Safya --a pediatrician, for God's sake!

Without strong pressure on Israel, these may could be his last hours.

[Dr. Jill Stein🌻 @DrJillStein]

The kidnap & torture of Dr. Abu Safiya is a microcosm of the barbarism earning Israel the world's disdain. If Israel hopes to someday rejoin the community of nations it must end its occupation & genocide, starting with the immediate release of Dr. Abu Safiya. Caring for starving children is not a crime.

نداء استغاثة عاجل لزيارة الطبيب حسام أبوصفية ..

نطالب بتحرك دولي عاجل لضمان سلامة الدكتور حسام أبو صفية وإجراء له فحص طبي وضمان احترام حقوقه الإنسانية والقانونية
الوقت ينفد… أنقذوا الدكتور حسام أ��و صفية قبل فوات الأوان.
We call for urgent international action to ensure the safety of Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, a medical examination and to ensure respect for his human and legal rights

Time is running out... Save Dr. Hossam Abu Safia before it's too late.

[Abdullah Omar🇵🇸 @Abdullah_Om3r03]

💔😢 The son of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya appeared in tears, making an urgent appeal to the Arab world and the international community to intervene and save his father's life. He said that his father's only "crime" was saving the lives of the wounded and treating the injured.

He is calling for immediate action before it is too late, fearing that he may lose his father in prison under the harsh conditions he is enduring.

Don't let his story become just another passing headline. Share his voice and speak about him. A single word can make a difference, while silence saves no one.

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.

Ben Gvir belongs in The Hague.

The U.S. and Israel share the same playbook that sounds like the same broken record: we hit military targets, they hit civilians. The world sees right through your lies.

I love you Japan. I hope to visit you soon.

As the Israeli regime bombs, invades,and occupies Lebanon, destroys homes, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure, deploys toxic chemicals, displaces a million people, threatens annexation, and murders hundreds of people, the Lebanese army - funded and controlled by the US and other allies of the Israeli regime- has not so much as thrown a stone to defend Lebanon and its people, and it will not do so. In this context, calling for the disarming of the Lebanese resistance is the equivalent of calling for the end of Lebanese independence and sovereignty and the permanent subjugation of the Lebanese people. At a moment when the Israeli regime is attacking Lebanon and countries across the region, raping, pillaging, perpetrating genocide, and occupying three countries, you cannot oppose the only force offering defense and deterrence in Lebanon and still claim concern for Lebanon. As a matter of international law, Lebanon has a right to defend itself from external aggression and the Lebanese people have a right to resist foreign occupation, colonial domination, and racist regimes like that of Israel. To oppose this is to abandon the Lebanese people, to ignore international law, and to align yourself with bloody Israel regime aggression and murder.

The most professional thing to do as a doctor or healthcare worker is to be against genocide. Thank you to the organizers in Waterloo for bringing us together to talk about the relentless attacks by Zionists we’ve faced within the medical profession which is form of anti-Palestinian racism. We are all safer when more of us speak up and organize against genocide and colonialism.
