I don’t think people understand, if one bomb dropped in London, we would never move past it. The world would stop. A BOMB? what do you mean people getting blown into pieces on Oxford Street? This is what people are getting desensitised to. It DOESN’T make sense. It needs to STOP
change truly creeps up on you. one day youre 13 and the next day you’re “ye dabba acha hai, kaam ayega baad mein, isko dho ke sambhaal lete hain” years old
We should all be terrified of this level of impunity btw. Red lines don’t exist anymore, not for us. Israel went from denying that they bombed hospitals a month ago to bombing them live on air now. World leaders have given Israel the green light from the first massacre.
happy moments in the midst of the most unimaginable horrors. palestinian joy is an act of resistance. please don’t stop talking about palestine. my people deserve happiness everyday of their lives.
With all my heart, I love this man for sake of Allah. Allah protect him always, reunite him with his children on yawm al-qiyamah when Ibrahim AS will hand his children back to him, after having been in the prophet’s care.
This is what terrifies the Zionists.
They see, in front of them, the men & women they claim legitimacy from.
They see the faith of Abraham.
They see the patience of Jacob when he lost Joseph.
They see the oppression of Moses and his mother.
And in themselves?
The Pharoah.
Today I talked to Hala (my cousin’s daughter) who’s the only survivor of her family. Hala is 8 years old, she doesn’t talk about what happened and she doesn’t speak with anyone since. I haven’t been able to speak with her since they were killed over a month ago. Hala lost both her parents, her 3 sisters, her grandparents, her two aunts, three uncles and all of her cousins that were in that house. I have thought many times about what I would tell her when I call her for the first time. I haven’t spoken to my remaining family who are still alive for over two weeks until today. Because of the “fake truce” I managed to video call them today as they had internet connection for the first time. Hala was next to my uncle and saw my picture on the phone. I kept asking for her multiple times. She then took the phone and went into a dark room to talk with me alone. I froze. I just kept saying Habibti Hala I miss you so much I love you so much. I couldn’t mention her family, and I genuinely didn’t know what to say to an 8 year old who just lost her whole family. I just talked to her about how I want to visit her soon and how much I miss her and all the toys I bought for her and I asked her if she wants anything in particular and she told me “I just want to see you and come live with you far away.” It broke me so much. I held my tears inside my chest and wondered what on earth did this little girl do to deserve all of this pain. I kept trying to think of things that will excite her but she was very quiet, not the Hala I once knew. Not the happy Hala who gets excited at the most simple things. Not the Hala that laughs with her whole heart, but a new Hala who’s barely able to smile. I told her I’ll take you to the best amusement park and she was shocked and said “oh you have that there?” Her little brain cannot comprehend that life is normal outside her home. All she can picture is destruction, bombs and dead parents and sisters. I wish I can hide this little girl in my heart from this cruel world forever. Hala is one story only, there’s more than 1 million children in Gaza who’ll grow up with so much trauma and unimaginable losses. Our hearts cannot bear all of this pain.
Day 42
We are living the most awful days in this life
It’s been a lot of hard times before, we been under Israeli occupation since 1948
This time is the hardest, death is the cheapest and the most easy thing to get
I’m losing weight and power
Palestinians have done everything to appeal to your humanity. Children did press conferences asking to live. Doctors did press conferences surrounded by body bags.
Journalists showed countless mangled bodies and the best you can do is call for a “humanitarian pause”?
motaz, bisan and plestia have become part of israel's hitlist now. the terrorist state has made its intentions clear in jpost, declaring them as hamas members.
do not stop talking about this. they want to silence some of gaza's most prominent voices right now.
Gaza has officially gone dark. No internet or phone lines anymore. People can’t reach each other, or reach the outside world. And even the local radio stations have been allegedly overtaken by Israeli forces sending out warnings.
How the fuck was none of it enough. How the fuck was them showing the world pictures of their children's limbs in plastic bags not enough? How was a 200+ page long list of the dead not enough? How was them holding a press conference surrounded by dead bodies not enough?
