This is a really, really good essay that anyone struggling with self-doubt and a sense of futility should read, because @erikmbaker takes those emotions seriously but -- like he did in his book -- historicizes them.

A Palestinian artist and photojournalist who is the protagonist of a documentary due to premiere in Cannes in May has been killed in an Israeli air strike.

Fatima Hassouna died with nine members of her family in a direct strike on their home in Gaza City on Wednesday.

Hassouna, who had gained international recognition for her photojournalism capturing the impact on the Gaza Strip’s civilian population of the Israeli military campaign, appears in French-Iranian director Sepideh Farsi’s 'Put Your Soul On Your Hand And Walk'.

Hassouna was killed 24 hours after the documentary was announced as having been selected for parallel Cannes section ACID, running from May 14 to 23 alongside the main festival

Dad, it’s 7 April already. Can you come home now?

I spoke to Lite FM about you, begging the public to keep a look out. Please come home.

Everyone, please keep sharing. I need this to go viral so that the police will escalate this case further.

My niece Layan, 14, was displaced for over a year, living in tents during the genocide.

Whenever I asked, “Where is Lolo?”, the answer was always: “She’s off to work!”
Lolo… and work?!

Layan gathered children from nearby tents and started a classroom, becoming “Miss Layan”, the beloved teacher amidst the ruins.

Israel killed Layan

[حسام شبات @HossamShabat]

Israel’s army has released fabricated dossiers framing us, the last remaining journalists in North Gaza reporting on Israel’s extermination and ethnic-cleansing campaign, as “terrorists”.

This blatant and belligerent attempt to transform us, the last witnesses in the north, into killable targets is an assassination threat and obvious attempt to preemptively justify our murder.

We would like to remind everyone that after murdering our colleague Ismail Al Ghoul, Israel released a document that claimed he supposedly received a military ranking on July 1, 2007, when he would have been a 10 year old child.

This public threat was made without any evidence and is part of a systematic propaganda campaign to justify the unjustifiable as Israel continues to target civilians in Gaza, including doctors, aid workers, children and us journalists.

We call on our colleagues and media institutions around the world to show their solidarity with us.

Despite these dangerous and untrue threats made against us, we remain committed to our profession and will continue to report the facts on the ground as the genocide regretfully continues unabated.

Yousef was delivering fresh produce just today and then Israel targeted and killed him. My heart is absolutely shattered.

The absolute gall of this government to submit Abang Adik for the Oscars and then to vote to make life harder for stateless kids.

Logged in to listen to the parliamentary debate on citizenship rights and found MPs who I know in my heart know better saying plainly untrue things 🙁 So sick of this. The greatest evil is having the correct facts and not acting on them
