I sleep in a tent surrounded by four other tents, with no distance between us.
One of these tents belongs to a disabled man and his wife. He suffers a lot at night, and once he wet himself because it was too hard for him to reach the bathroom. I hear him calling out, but no one responds. His voice pains me deeply.
The second tent belongs to a young man recently married, who doesn’t know how to talk to his wife because he’s afraid someone in the nearby tents will hear him. You see him all day sitting in sorrow, reflecting, and asking himself: What have I done to deserve such a fate?
In the third tent, there’s a young man and his elderly mother, who walks with great difficulty and has diabetes. He takes her to the bathroom many times during the night. I admire his devotion to his mother; I’ve never seen a young man show such love in all the schools I’ve lived in.
The fourth tent belongs to a family that was very wealthy before the war, but now they have nothing. This genocide has taken everything from them. They try to live and adapt to the harsh conditions, but they are unable to.
As for me, I am a stranger in this place, sleeping in a tent by chance with strangers I know nothing about, but I will leave.
Unsurprising that Simon Schama, an apologist for Israel’s genocidal destruction of Gaza, is chosen by a liberal paper, the FT, to reflect on the Declaration of Independence and its ideals. Schama embodies the now naked bigotry of Western liberals.

About 95% of Gaza's schools and universities have been damaged or destroyed. Help now: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU. Yet every day, children and teenagers still show up determined to learn. They study because they believe education is their path beyond genocide, beyond displacement, beyond the tent they sleep in tonight. They dream of earning good grades, building careers, returning home, and helping rebuild their communities.
At The Sameer Project, we refuse to let education disappear.
Our Al Hassan School in Refaat Alareer Camp now teaches 750 students (on a much needed summer break), providing them with stability, routine, and the opportunity to keep learning despite impossible circumstances. Beyond our own school, we've supported other educational centers with everything from large classroom tents and structural materials to whiteboards, paper, and even bathrooms so children can continue their education with dignity.
These children are not just preparing for exams - they are preparing for the future of Gaza. Support our General Fund and help us continue investing in the next generation: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU

Youssef got his teeth done and cleaned by our incredible dentist in the Tawba Clinic by The Sameer Project. Please support our work: https://t.co/LLwKJegMqz
The patient presented with halitosis and gingival pain with heavy deposits on the upper lower teeth, and severe inflammation. The dentist from The Sameer Project provided a full mouth deep scaling and polishing, and the caries were restored with a composite restoration.
Dental care in Gaza is not cheap and not easily accessible. The Sameer Project asks our community and dentists around the world to help us continue this essential service that is provided in our Jabalia Tawba Clinic, near the yellow line - one of the most dangerous areas in the Gaza Strip.

💢 Breaking: Severe injuries reported, including to a very young child, following a new Israeli airstrike targeting a group of people in northern Jabalia camp.
Israeli spies are luring queer Palestinians into relationships in order to blackmail them.
That's one of the findings in a new report exposing how the IDF traps Palestinians in a system of sexualised violence.
Read the full story from @harriepw: https://t.co/5pk12EmlIE
IDF monsters laughing as a toddler shakes as it dies with its legs blown off. An archive of horrors upon horrors that shame humankind. Where is the 'Screams Without Words' for this? Where are the special journalist screenings for genocide? Legacy media are Zionist scum
Today marks 1000 days of the U.S.-led Israeli genocide of the Palestinians.
If one day of genocide is too much - if it is a crime and a sin - then what of a thousand days?
Here's one such ad. @instagram ad shows a 7-year-old girl crying and the Meta ad reads "She has been unboxed with a big weapon", The 'watch more' tab takes you to @telegram which shows more such content.
BREAKING: INSTAGRAM HAS BEEN RUNNING PAID ADS PROMOTING CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE MATERIAL IN INDIA!
This is causing harm to children in the real world because @instagram is providing a marketplace for child sexual abuse. When BBC reporter @divyaconnects questions Head of @Meta in India. This is how he responds. Investigation by @bbcworldservice.
"There is no healthy food for my baby Agalia, and my other child, Yazan, is very sick and tired due to the poor conditions and insects in Gaza. I cannot afford medicine for my sick father, who could die at any moment, just like my mother did five months ago. My phone could also shut off at any moment, and I will be completely cut off from everyone else."

Seven years ago a representative from Google reached out to me in an official capacity to discuss the company's energy use. I told them it would become necessary for major firms in core economies to reduce energy use in order to enable Paris-compliant decarbonisation.
They assured me that their new AI tools were already helping them identify ways to improve the company's energy efficiency, so they weren't worried. They insisted this would soon yield radical efficiency improvements, and lead to energy use reduction without any change to their production activities. "Just wait, you'll see!" they told me, full of confidence.
I told them that's not how it works. In growth-oriented capitalist firms, savings from efficiency improvements are generally leveraged to expand production. I predicted that even if their AI found ways to improve efficiency, Google's energy use would go up, not down. Seven years later and this is where we're at:
According to his family and former detainees’ testimonies, Amin Al-Ghoul has been held in Israeli detention since November 2023. His case highlights the need for an independent investigation into the treatment and conditions of Palestinian detainees.
This report is devastating in its detailing of the function of sexual violence faced by Palestinian women, men and children. You will not find any major self-described Feminist or Feminist / women’s organization talk about this.
Our Feminist ‘icons’ and orgs are so deeply intertwined with imperial violence that women who are victimized by our bombs and tax dollars simply do not exist, they are simply an inconvenience. I’ll never forget their silence over the last three years (and sometimes, their directly complicity).
Rip sweet angel. I lovely cry almost every night when I see these pictures and videos. I’m not naturally an aggressive person. But seeing this brings it out of me.
