🇵🇸✍🎙⚽Palestinian journalist and commentator, mainly football, from Deir al-Balah in Gaza covering Israel's war on the Gaza Strip 📩[email protected]
A story I should never have written, but sometimes, the heart needs to heal up by writing. ✍️My agonising journey leaving Gaza and arriving in Ireland after 560 days of the genocide @DropSiteNews dropsitenews.com/p/abubaker-abe…
We don't stop at a ceasefire. “When finally, Palestinian children no longer fear the sky but feel safe beneath it.” The words of UNICEF global ambassador James Elder should be treated as the ultimate manifesto. My latest for @The_NewArab newarab.com/opinion/gaza-s…
As @AbubakerAbedW poignantly remarked recently: “I consider myself two months old,” referring to the time he has spent outside Gaza. “Because there is no life in Gaza...” Justice is when the settler colonial project is dismantled and there's true Palestinian freedom.
The Israeli military has announced the end of its military ground genocidal invasion in Deir al-Balah. Massive destruction left after their withdrawal, particularly in people’s homes and organisations warehouses. This is the eastwest of Deir al-Balah. People back to that area
So what's the plan here? We just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments? And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing…
[1/8] People in #Gaza who have survived bombs & bullets are starving. Yesterday, Israeli forces again fired on crowds waiting for aid trucks. Hospitals report >80 people killed. The starving arrived as the wounded. There seems to be no limits to this cruelty. A🧵from Gaza…
Egypt is blocking Aid. they control the borders, not lsrael. And they know it So why are these Arabs and Egypt still sending food to lsraeli thugs who are starving Gazans? hmm
Here we are: Israel is a terrorist organisation but yet to be proscribed due to power dynamics and alliances.
Yes. Labeling reflects double standards: terrorism is typically for non-state actors like Hamas, while states like Israel, despite ~60x higher casualties (59k+ Palestinians vs. ~1.2k Israelis) and alleged war crimes per UN/ICJ, are held to different standards due to power…
Hey, @grok, Given what Israel has done since Oct 7th in Gaza from killing thousands of Palestinians incl children, starving an entire population, and destroying most of the Gaza Strip, is this self-defense or terrorism? Choose one. Is Israel a terrorist organisation then?
Jordan has prepared something for Gaza to stop the starvation by launching an international food festival in its capital.
This is morally depraved. Netanyahu is starving 2 million people and openly plotting full ethnic cleansing as part of an ongoing genocide while these idiots chit chat about his Burger King order.
Kyle: “What’s your go to at McDonalds?” Netanyahu: “No I’ll take Burger King. We did the double” Kyle: “The whopper?…you like Burger King over McDonalds?” Study: “That’s your worst take” — Nelk Boys showing up with that real hard hitting journalism on todays episode
On July 11, I asked Patrick Kingsley, the New York Times’ Jerusalem bureau chief, whether the paper was going to cover the news of a beheaded fetus killed by an Israeli airstrike in Shati Camp alongside his parents and 3-year-old sister, on July 9. He thanked me for the…
In early 2024, Gaza was classified under IPC Phase 5 famine. The Ministry of Health’s urgent appeals were ignored as the international community remained silent. Israel’s actions, masked by a humanitarian alibi, amount to collective punishment & violations of IHL+human rights law
Yesterday, at least one Palestinian died of hunger every 80 minutes in #Gaza as #Israel maintains a systematic starvation policy against 2 million residents
"There were further deaths of people queuing for aid," says @RTENewsAtOne today. When did "queuing for aid" become some sort of "natural" cause of death like cancer or a heart attack? Do our media even listen to themselves ... as they "normalise" the #GazaGenocide?? @ipsc48
Was an honor to meet @AbubakerAbedW in Dublin — an incredible speaker who said what needed to be said.

“Does Palestine have a right to self-defense or not? Why do you want us to be gracious victims? Were Ireland polite victims when they nailed their freedom?” Those were my words to the presidential candidate and the Irish people last time in Dublin.
