Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

Anti-right wing, pro-peace and tolerance.

[Dr. Ezzideen @ezzingaza]

I came back today. I thought I had known despair before, but what I saw today is beyond despair.
It is not grief, nor horror, nor pain. It is something colder, a stillness where even God seems to have withdrawn His hand.

The sky was impossibly blue. The kind of blue that mocks you, that makes you wonder whether beauty itself is a crime.
I walked through streets that no longer exist, streets that were my childhood.
They are now a wilderness of stone, wire, and dust.

A man stood on a heap, a neighbor, I think.
He pointed and said, “It’s here.”
I asked him how far.
He looked down.
And I understood: my house was beneath his feet.

I lifted my phone, as if the machine could recognize what I could not. The screen glowed; there was nothing to see. The earth had swallowed the distances. Even the smell of home was gone. It was as if the thread connecting me to life itself had been cut.

I dug with my hands. The dust burned. My palms bled.
My mother had told me: “Search for anything we can save.” And so I obeyed her like a son obeys the last voice that still believes there is meaning in obedience.

From a house that once cost my father one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, a lifetime of labor, of hope, of decency, I found two things:
a knife, and a pillow.

Two relics of civilization. One for necessity, one for illusion.
That is what remains of man.

I sat in the ruins, the blue of my shirt turned gray with ash, and I thought:
this is the end not of a city, but of meaning itself.

I thought of my parents, their hands, their faith in honest work.
How will they bear this? How will any man bear seeing his father’s roof turned into dust by a stranger’s hands, hands that will never know the names of those they destroyed?

But what tears me apart more than ruin is silence. No one speaks to us.
No one tells us where to go, who will rebuild, or who is responsible.
The politicians talk of victories, the generals of strategy, the world of peace and progress.
But none of them live here among the ashes. None of them stand where I stand, sifting through their own dead.

And those who claim to represent us, where are they? Where is the money they collected in our name, the promises they made before the cameras, the slogans they wrote while we buried our children?
Who among them will come to this ruin and say: Forgive us, we failed you?
Not one.

They sit in offices with clean shirts, counting our corpses as figures on paper. They say “reconstruction,” “aid,” “negotiations,” as though the vocabulary of power could fill the emptiness of a mother’s bed.

I tell you the truth: there is no crime greater than indifference.
The murderer at least acknowledges the victim.
But those who look away, they kill the soul itself.

I brushed the dust from my shirt, though I knew it was useless.
I wanted to see if there was still color left in the world.
There wasn’t.
The blue had become the color of mourning.

I looked at my hands. They were shaking, not from fear, but from the unbearable realization that we have become expendable to the world.
Our suffering is entertainment, our death a policy, our endurance a statistic.

I wept then, openly, shamelessly.
I, who once believed in the dignity of suffering, now see that dignity itself has been annihilated.
There is nothing noble in being forgotten.

If you are reading this, do not admire the style or the language.
Lower your head, and weep.
Because this dust, this silence, this cry, is what remains of us.

For those obsessing about Glastonbury maybe focus on the real issue.
A genocide being live streamed on our phone screens as the world watches on

This would be funny if it wasn't true. What the actual....is going on! 😔

[Gj_bumbles @save_the_bees24]

@HeidiBachram @HeidiBachram Gazans are being murdered by the IDF by order of the Israeli government! How could anyone turn their eyes away from these stories & not want to 'screech' for the end of the brutal Israeli bombardment/starvation of so many innocent civilians

@JamesEFoster The new 'nasty party'....

[Gj_bumbles @save_the_bees24]

Goodness me, the tide is hopefully, finally, turning on Israel. Previous supporters of Israel are starting to see the true brutality that they are imposing on the Palestinian people.

[Alon Mizrahi @alon_mizrahi]

Ok, my jaw dropped. If you wanted a sign that something is changing, this is it. This is very, very very bad news for Zionism.

Very very very bad news for the psychotic settlers. This is the beginning of the end.

People are starting to meet their limits. I feel an actual touch of joy, and I believe it

[Gj_bumbles @save_the_bees24]

@jones_mark50204 @DrNeenaJha @SapiensPW They have offered to release the hostages, & even said they'd enter into a 5 year truce with Israel,but Israeli troops must leave Gaza. Ultimately, the Israeli government sees the hostages as collateral damage. The ultimate goal is the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian's from Gaza

[Gj_bumbles @save_the_bees24]

Gaza is being starved by Israel....where is the international condemnation. @Keir_Starmer @labourparty Where are the words calling out the use of starvation as a weapon of war #WarCrimes #israelcommittingwarcrimes

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"We need a total arms embargo on Israel.. we need to commit to holding Netanyahu & his govt to account for the war crimes they have perpetuated & you need to look at things like #BDS"

@Keir_Starmer The horror seeing morsels of breadcrumbs thrown towards Palestinian suffering. As a constituent @Keir_Starmer, whose son, Tom, was murdered by an IDF sniper, shame on you for this pathetic, non-compassionate statement. I’ll never vote Labour while you, a Zionist, are in situ.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Yesterday, 60 civilians were killed in the city of Baalbek, the majority of them women and children, in more than a dozen Israeli airstrikes.

Today, Niels and I visited to report.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Israel has announced to the world that it has ethnically cleansed northern Gaza.

From the very start, it has been hideously clear what Israel’s intentions are.

But it’s those who have said so who have been smeared, while the apologists and deniers have faced no accountability.

[Femi @Femi_sorry]

Did you know there's a developing genocide in Nigeria?

It's only a matter of time before the security crisis there, becomes a refugee crisis here.

Sign the petition for the UK Gov to pressure the Nigerian Govt to end the violence.

@DrNeenaJha Just absolutely awful how the murder of civilians in one country would be thought of as barbaric, but the murder in another would be met with a 'meh, oh well'! 😤

[Gj_bumbles @save_the_bees24]

@Keir_Starmer @DavidLammy what counts as enough for Britain to stop supplying arms to Israel and impose sanctions. You are making our country complicit in a genocide, one unfolding very clearly infront of our eyes! Where is your humanity and compassion?!

[Neena Jha @DrNeenaJha]

Dear @Keir_Starmer,

Is the burning body of a 19 yr old boy not enough?

Is the beheaded body of a 3 month old baby with her nappy still on not enough?

Is the 6 year old girl being shot at in the head not enough?

Is the mother cradling a shroud of her child not enough?

Is the father desperately scraping the earth with his fingernails to get to his children buried underneath not enough?

What more will it take for you to stop sending arms to Israel & do the right thing?!

Is this not enough?!
