few moments as special as this one

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

I’m sorry to be self-righteous but it is really true what they say. When you visit the West Bank, witness the brutality of the occupation, see its inner workings, and get to know its victims, I don’t see how it’s possible to stop it from consuming you and altering the course of your life. Making it stop becomes completely urgent. I wish this experience on all of my detractors.

My problem with a lot of nominally sympathetic writing about Palestinians is that it flattens them into an ever-suffering (and resilient) people fighting for survival. If there’s one thing I hope my work does, it’s bring my subjects fully to life as funny, annoying, contradictory, political, bored, loving, etc. etc. specific human beings.

Ta-Nehisi Coates in Seattle about the Democratic Party in this moment:
“If you can’t stand up against genocide, why should I believe you can stand up for democracy?”

New piece today ✌🏾

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

Mohammed Maarouf, a child not yet five years old, was in a refugee school in the Jabalia camp when flames engulfed his small body, the result of an intense bombardment that struck the area. The burns covering his stomach and face were caused by the missiles of the occupation, leaving scars on the bodies of Gaza's children.
Mohammed looks at me with eyes heavy with pain, as if they carry a silent scream for suffering that has gone unheard. His burned body tells the story of Gaza's children, whose bodies have become open wounds, crying out against the silence of the world.

[Hind Khoudary @Hind_Gaza]

Every time I lose someone I love, a piece of my heart goes with them.

In the past 14 months, Israel killed so many of those I love.

My heart is in pieces; so much of it is already gone.

a healthy society doesn’t let people die because they can’t afford their insulin

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

Palestinians don’t need your sympathy or your symbolic gestures. We need you to cut ties with our killers and colonizers. We need you to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel. Yes that includes academic institutions, whose commitment to genocide is well documented.

[Briahna Joy Gray @briebriejoy]

“Violence isn’t the answer” unless you’re Israel, the American government, the police, military-trained vigilantes, or a for-profit healthcare system.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

You don’t kill 341 humanitarian workers by accident.

[Dr. Mustafa Elmasri @Gaza_Psych]

Zero anesthetics
Zero analgesics
Zero humanity in this world

have always felt this good to know van gogh had already put it into words before my brain was even developed ☁️

[amirtha @ewyuckugh]

stumbled into one of Vincent van gogh’s letters to his brother and in it he says ‘If I’m worth something later, I’m worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is grass in the beginning.’
