So why is a private number calling me on behalf of an online magazine allegedly called “Green Book Online” and asking me my opinion about government policies and my views on every presidents vows.

What new manipulation data tactic is this ?

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

devastating speech by the UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs.

"...death on this scale has a sound and a smell that does not leave you"

"[in the West Bank] recently [Jewish] settlers abducted a 13 year old girl and her three-year-old brother. They were found tied to a tree. Do we also say to them that we did all that we could?"
"Future generations will hold us to account, we should fear that judgement."

“When I entered Gaza the Israeli military had a rule: I was only allowed to bring in three kilos of food. As I was weighing out protein bars, trying to get under the limit, I said to my husband: ‘How sinister is this?’ I’m a humanitarian aid worker. Why would there even be a limit on food? I’ve worked in many places with extreme hunger, but what’s so jarring in this context is how cruel it is, how deliberate. I was in Gaza for two months; there’s no way to describe the horror of what’s happening. And I say this as a pediatric ICU doctor who sees children die as part of my work. Among our own staff we have doctors and nurses who are trying to treat patients while hungry, exhausted. They’re living in tents. Some of them have lost fifteen, twenty members of their families. In the hospital there are kids maimed by airstrikes: missing arms, missing legs, third degree burns. Often there’s not enough pain medication. But the children are not screaming about the pain, they’re screaming: ‘I’m hungry! I’m hungry!” I hate to only focus on the kids, because nobody should be starving. But the kids, it just haunts you in a different way. When my two months were finished, I didn’t want to leave. It’s a feeling I haven’t experienced in nearly twenty years of humanitarian assignments. But I felt ashamed. Ashamed to leave my Palestinian colleagues, who were some of the most beautiful and compassionate people that I’ve ever met. I was ashamed as an American, as a human being, that we’ve been unable to stop something that is so clearly a genocide. I remember when our bus pulled out of the buffer zone. Out the window on one side I could see Rafah, which was nothing but rubble. On the other side was lush, green Israel. When we exited the gate, the first thing I saw was a group of Israeli soldiers, sitting at a table, eating lunch. I’ve never felt so nauseous seeing a table full of food.”

Aqsa Durrani is a pediatric doctor and board member of Doctors Without Borders USA, with nearly twenty years of experience in humanitarian projects. During our interview Aqsa repeatedly expressed a desire to center the voices of her Palestinian colleagues. To this end I’ve spent the past week collecting stories from the Palestinian staff of Doctors Without Borders in Gaza. I will be sharing these stories over the next several days. I’m so grateful for the time that these people gave me; they were sleepless, hungry, traumatized, and often working 24-hour shifts. Because of the unreliable internet connection their images are sometimes grainy. Their words, however, will be crystal clear.

⭕️ LIVE: Al Jazeera Arabic reporter Anas Al Sharif was killed in an Israeli strike on a tent in Gaza City. https://t.co/f5TlGRMjIH

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Israel just assassinated the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza: fearless journalists and cameramen reporting the truth amid genocide.

This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

Where are the Western journalists? Will they condemn this, or choose silence and complicity?

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

If you want an actual history, read this.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

Let me tell you a story, Hanan.

I’m Vietnamese.

In 1954, the Western powers, fresh from centuries of colonial conquest, decided Vietnam should be cut in half.

Not because the Vietnamese asked for it.

Not because it was just.

But because it served imperial interests.

The North would go to us, the ones who had bled to defeat the French.

The South would be handed to a U.S.-backed regime we never chose.

They called it a "compromise."

They called it a "solution."

They said we should accept it, and there’ll be peace.

That half a country is better than none.

That resistance would only bring needless suffering.

But we refused.

Because Vietnam is not a bargaining chip.

We are not a parcel to be divided by strangers and called free.

And when we resisted, they called us unreasonable.

They called us terrorists.

They said we were the problem.

Sound familiar?

What you just said about Palestinians—that they should have accepted UN Resolution 181 and been grateful for half a homeland—is exactly what they told us.

And we proved them wrong.

We fought not because we hated peace.

We fought because real peace cannot come from foreign dictates, settler violence, and forced partitions.

We fought because no people should be told to accept half their dignity so someone else can sleep at night.

We fought because Vietnam is one.

Not north, not south, but whole.

And we won.

Now you expect Palestinians to do what we never would.

To accept their homeland divided.

Their history rewritten.

Their future stolen.

To say yes to a plan they never agreed to.

Written by people who did not live there.

Giving away land that was never theirs to offer.

You call that a missed opportunity.

We call it resistance to dismemberment.

Palestinians said no because they knew what we knew:

To accept a settler’s map is to erase your own.

So don’t talk to me about Resolution 181.

Talk to me about the villages wiped off the map.

Talk to me about the mass graves and refugee camps that followed.

Talk to me about the families still holding the keys to homes they are forbidden to return to.

Vietnam refused partition. And today we are whole.

Palestine did the same. And for that, they are still being punished.

But they were right to refuse.

Just like we were.

Just like the Algerians were.

Just like the South Africans were.

And one day, like us, they will reclaim everything that was stolen.

Because memory is stronger than force.

And the land never forgets who it belongs to.

Palestinians carry chunks of their children in plastic bags. I’m sure you’ll be A-OK.
