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.

I'll never forgive what she did to Muslim women. Vile.

[Dr. Ghada Sasa, PhD 🇵🇸 @drghadasasa]

We Palestinians don't want the support of a vile misogynist like Andrew Tate who only harms our cause. He is a misogynistic, Islamophobic, & racist fraud, & it only hurts me to see allies share his interview. How do y'all quickly forgive rapists?!

[Axel Folio, PhD, White Tears Distiller 🪁 @ISASaxonists]

You notice how racists always hyper focus on Black women? You ever notice that? I do. It's a pattern. It's engineered that way.

Amy Schumer referred to Israel as "she" and "her".

Here, Gaza is a "Black Woman [who is] trash." A "bitch."

Keep connecting the dots.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I’m frightened by how easily people are manipulated by representational politics.

A Black politician can be doing active harm against Black, brown & Indigenous communities & folks will defend them simply for the value of seeing a Black person in a traditionally “white” space.

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

With no water. No sanitation. No menstrual supplies. No privacy. If you call yourself a feminist, you have to stand with the women and girls of Gaza. Or don't ever call yourself a feminist again.

[san 🇵🇸 @ndsnas]

This is insane. This is so fucking insane, I am flabbergasted. These freaks are filming imaginary racist scenarios while hospitals are being turned into extermination camps.

[san 🇵🇸 @ndsnas]

Absolutely unhinged website name.

I have been trying to film this video all day. I was literally paralysed looking at all this footage of massacres. I was trying to see if my friend is still alive or not. There’s a second Nakba and what we’re seeing is a MASS EXODUS and GENOCIDE. PLEASE DO STH PLEASE KEEP SHARING

[🎒Shailja #FreePalestine Patel @shailjapatel]

Israel has destroyed over 800,000 olive trees in Palestine since 1967. This ecocide has been likened to the slaughter of the buffalo by white settlers on the American continent. The colonizer's goal is always to break indigenous people by severing their connection to the land.

[Tulika Bose @TulikaBose_]

More than 1400 journalists have now signed this letter. I am one of them.

I know folks are worried about blacklisting.

As an American female journalist who was targeted and sexually assaulted in a conflict zone — I would be proud to be blacklisted by any media institution that would judge me for speaking up about the killing and targeting of my journalism colleagues and their families — and an assault on our free press.
Full stop.

Solidarity isn’t a transaction.

Nothing in my view is more reprehensible than those habits of mind in the intellectual that induce avoidance, that characteristic turning away from a difficult and principled position, which you know to be the right one, but which you decide not to take.
