"I have been haunted by survivor’s guilt ever since leaving Gaza for medical treatment in November 2023. The feeling is relentless." - Feature by Khaled El-Hissy electronicintifada.net/content/noth...

‘I can’t feel anything anymore’: women in a West Bank refugee camp reflect on a year of Israeli military raids on their homes

If you still think AOC is on our side, I don’t have much hope for you. She’ll also hamstring the squad at key times in the future as she did with the Pelosi/Speaker situation.

Families in Gaza are surviving on scraps of bread and contaminated canned food, and my children dream of a simple chicken meal. In a land once full of life, only ashes remain.

Not even since May 2024 yet because they had to stop somewhere. Israel commits war crimes every single day with virtually no exceptions.

And the Democrats still wonder why their scaremongering about Trump's fascism did not land considering their stance on this particular issue (but also other far right talking points)... Lesser evilism will no longer be enough www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

#COP29 outcome not looking good. Another COP is possible (riff on Arundhati Roy’s another world is possible). But, another habitable planet as we know it is not. Not with runaway climate change & ecological disasters & warmongering & hyperconsumption & rapacious capitalism & colonial necropolitics.

You can fully expect to see the US and UK govts speaking against the ICC because Biden and Starmer fully know that they are just as complicit in war crimes committed by the genocidaires of israel

One of my closest friend’s home in #Beirut is in a building that the IDF just declared will be bombed. There is nothing they can do about it. Their childhood home will be destroyed any moment now because #Israel has unlimited American backing. #Lebanon F- you Biden you monster

🔴 What kind of self-defense is this that attacks civil defense crews, journalists, ambulances, and doctors⁉️ 🔴 What world gives the green light to this crime and watches it silently⁉️ #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

🔴 Palestinian journalist Hussam Shabat injured 🔴 The press is one of the targets of the occupation #Help_Gaza 🇵🇸

The most moral army targets the Palestinian Civil Defense with a missile while they were doing their duty to rescue a family under the rubble from the first missile. The team was ten members, they became nine members after Ali Muhammad Omar was directly killed. 🇵🇸 #Help_Gaza

It doesn't appear that some have yet taken in how much trouble we're in worldwide.

There’s a photo circulating of the Zionist army rounding up doctors, nurses, and patients from a hospital in northern Gaza. The detainees are blindfolded, stripped of their clothes, their hands zip-tied. One of them leans on crutches.

"Israel’s escalated assault on Lebanon is killing three children each day on average, the UN children’s agency reports, as Israel’s intensified bombardments and raids take a horrific toll on the country."

This is the reality of life in north Gaza, which has been totally under siege for 40 days. I will share a few accounts from Palestinians there who need help and who have asked me to help share their stories with you. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Who could’ve imagined that in 2024, people who flaunt & celebrate a genocide can do so shamelessly like this, while opponents of genocide suffer censorship, demonization & repression at every turn.

A professor and surgeon was “likely” raped to death in an Israeli prison. This is the settler colonial and racist reality so many people deny.

she's the reason the "international human rights regime" still has meanings

The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them. —Julius Nyerere

James Baldwin is more relevant than ever before.

This was the first and only tweet I posted since joining this platform. Looking at it now takes me back to a horrifying time of immense loss—but also to a time before we lost even more: more friends, mentors, loved ones, memories, places. I can’t believe it’s been over a year of this.
