We are still alive in Gaza… 🥹🇵🇸
Despite everything, we are still trying to hold on.

Write anything — even a single dot means so much to us and reminds us that we are not alone. 🥹💔🙏
Congratulations Justice Pillay!
The committee in granting her the Nobel peace prize: “An international legal system in which war criminals are held to account and the victims of abuse see justice served is a precondition for a peaceful world.”
May this justice start in Palestine
Three years of seeing children ripped to pieces daily and shaking in terror, and the “civilized” world is still full of genocide deniers and apologists. A world order that fails children like this is a failed world order.
Day 1,060 of genocide.
A fragment of life in Gaza, where children and their parents continue to be turned to smithereens by the most immoral army, with Western-manufactured weapons.
A fetus in the rubble. Their bombs incinerate mothers with babies in their wombs. Remember the “40 beheaded babies” and “babies in ovens” lie? This is what they do every single day, even after the “ceasefire”.
In war-torn Gaza, a group of Palestinian students opened Flora, an ice cream shop and cafe, to pay university fees and support their families. Juggling long shifts, injuries and loss, they say Flora is both a lifeline for education and an escape from a harsh reality.
Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem told Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo that the world is increasingly rallying behind Palestine as Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza have become impossible to ignore.
Bardem argued that the growing worldwide support for Palestine is a direct response to the atrocities witnessed in Gaza and the West Bank, saying that "anybody with minimal common sense understands that that is wrong."
Discussing the political backdrop to the Spain–Argentina World Cup final, he also criticised Argentine President Javier Milei for openly aligning himself with Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right Israeli leaders, saying it was unfair to present Argentina as represented by those figures.
Bardem stressed that Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and the Israeli cabinet do not represent Jewish people and warned against antisemitism, while insisting that criticism of the Israeli government is both legitimate and necessary.
The actor said younger generations are driving a historic shift in public opinion because they are witnessing Israel's actions in real time and are increasingly demanding accountability, justice, and an end to the impunity enjoyed by Israel's leadership on the world stage.
"Get up baby, come back to me."
8-year-old Tala Abu Matar murdered. I pray that Allah punish the criminals who do this. And that He forgives me for not doing enough to stop it. Everyday for almost 3 years, I've watched these scenes on repeat. Everyday I look at these videos and imagine if it were my children. And everyday I pray that we will see justice for our people.
One of the most gentle souls the genocide has brought into my life is Ahmed ShihabEldin, journalist of rare strength, integrity & compassion. US-born Kuwaiti citizen, Ahmed has been imprisoned by Kuwaiti authorities for his work since 3 March. Journalism is not a crime #FreeAhmed

In a world that grows numb to cruelty, be like Ahmed al-Ahmed, who ran toward danger to protect life.
That is Islam.
We mourn the victims of today’s attack in Australia and pray for safety and sanity everywhere.
May those who murder while cloaked in power or false righteousness leave no legacy worth repeating.
The Global Sumud Flotilla is a powerful & inspiring act of solidarity with Palestinians who are struggling to survive under Israel’s cruel and unlawful blockade and amidst its ongoing genocide in the occupied Gaza Strip. Israel must allow the flotilla to carry out its peaceful mission safely. Any attempt to block it is an attack on humanitarian principles and international law.
The fact that activists from nearly 50 countries have resorted to launching this mission is an indictment of the international community’s consistent failure to press Israel to end its inhumane blockade as also ordered by the International Court of Justice three times in 2024.
Palestinians in Gaza are being starved and grappling with one of the worst manmade humanitarian disasters in the world. Israel has an obligation to ensure civilians in Gaza have sufficient access to food, medicine and other supplies indispensable to their survival. There can be no justification for obstructing life-saving aid.
At Amnesty, we are calling on Israel to immediately:
📢 Lift its unlawful blockade
⛴️ Allow free flow of humanitarian aid and life-saving supplies
🚫 End its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza
We call also on states take meaningful action to end impunity and uphold international humanitarian law.
