@st_louis_stan Because when you drill into your society that every single one of them needs plastic surgery it becomes cheap due to the demand. The plastic surgery may be cheap but the mental health epidemic will be very expensive. But that’s ok because in 50 years the country won’t exist.
@GazaMartyrs Not to diminish from a great achievement, but worth pointing out as highlighting science is not the goal of this post, according to Wikipedia he was born in Jordan and has US, Jordanian, and Saudi citizenship.
@Ian90598181141@caleb090903@lizatliz @SpittsGG Attention whoring on instagram while being either naively or maliciously confused about the world … no that doesn’t make you anything other than a spoiled brat.
If your intention was to actually deliver aid and help people, you’ve been given plenty of opportunities to do that. What you’re doing now is pure performative bullshit for Instagram views.
All of our boats are still sailing - and we are so close now!
We are nearing 110 nautical miles from Gaza, around the point at which the Madleen was intercepted in June.
Some of us managed to sleep a bit this morning. This is important, because Israel is probably deliberately trying to drive us to exhaustion.
We believe the Spanish navy is still nearby, although Italy has left. It’s reportedly keeping some distance, but planning to continue to 24 miles from the coast of Gaza 🍉🍉
We feel calm and determined.
Yesterday, while reading reactions from my people in Gaza on Facebook to Trump’s proposed plan, I saw something heartbreaking. Almost every comment carried a tone of sarcasm: “Do our opinions even matter? Should we even bother answering?”
For two years now, Palestinians outside Gaza have claimed to speak for us. They monopolized our voice, dismissed our suffering, and even accused us of treason when we dared to say the simplest truth: that we are human, that we are against this endless war.
Those abroad reject the plan, calling it surrender. But here in Gaza, living through two years of devastating war, people see it differently. They see even the faintest proposal for peace as a chance at survival. Not victory. Not politics. Just survival.
I live among Gazans. I hear them. I know what they truly want. And I can tell you: they are ready to accept any proposal that ends their torment. They no longer dream of grand solutions. They only dream of escaping the hell imposed on them — by Hamas on one side and by Israel on the other.
The tragedy is not only the destruction around us, but that our voices have been stolen. The world hears only those who speak from abroad, while the real people of Gaza — the mothers, the children, the exhausted fathers, the young who have lost everything — are silenced.
If you want to understand Gaza, listen to us. Not to those who turned our suffering into slogans.
The ‘ceasefire now’ crowd seems to be weirdly quiet now that Israel has accepted the latest ceasefire proposal, while the Palestinians have not.
Weird.
Trump: "History has shown us that those who have relations with Israel have thrived, while those who have devoted resources and attention toward the destruction and even annihilation of Israel have languished. They haven't done well. Israel is not going anywhere."
French journalist Jean Quatremer:
"Between 1948 and 1967, Jordan annexed the West Bank, and Gaza was part of Egypt. Arab countries didn’t want to establish a Palestinian state in that region. Now, they’re all so passionate about “Palestine”. Why’s that?"
CNN aired an interview with a Hamas leader where he openly states that he thinks that every single death of a Palestinian since October 7th has been worth it.
Viewers are now mad. Why?
Not because Hamas is gleefully wreaking death and destruction on Gaza. But because CNN is “vilifying” Hamas by sharing Hamas's own words.
Free Palestine can’t handle the truth about Hamas because it exposes their lies.
BREAKING | Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas: “We want a modern, democratic state founded on the rule of law, pluralism, transfer of power, equality, justice, and the empowerment of women and youth.”
