NEW | “It Shocked Me How Normal Life is Outside of the Genocide in Gaza” Somaia Abunada | @HalaHanina
I’m curled up in a corner of the room, lying flat on the cold floor as the quadcopters circle above,erratic, relentless, spitting bullets in frenzied bursts. The sound is deafening, the terror suffocating. Each second stretches unbearably as I brace for what may come next. The…
In Deir al-Balah, unrelenting volleys of projectiles are unleashed at different parts of the eastern parts. Quadcopters are everywhere. Israeli tanks are shooting relentlessly as well, @a_abdulruhman reports as he is shivering with fear.
It was clear from the start and all the way: a reminder of some Israel statements of intent 🧵 1. "Gaza won’t return to what it was before. We will eliminate everything." Yoav Gallant, 10 October 2023.
People in Sudan are boiling weeds with salt water because there’s nothing else to eat. One teacher even wrote a love poem to a wild plant that kept him and others alive. Let that sink in. The world has failed Sudan like no other. #KeepEyesOnSudan #EyesOnDarfur #EyesOnNuba
#Sudan: Food insecurity is severe in Kordofan, Nuba Mountains, & Darfur, with areas like El Fasher and Zamzam camp being inaccessible, said @NRC_Norway's @AgnesMaiV. Many survive on just one meal a day, and some resort to sucking on coal to ease hunger. 🔗apnews.com/article/sudan-…
Release the hostages. Until then, starve away. (This is all a lie anyway. It amazes me that the media continues to regurgitate Muslim terror propaganda.)

Coca-Cola is expelled from Bilbao festival “Aste Nagusia “16–24 August due to its ties to Israel. We people From the Basque Country support Palestine 🇵🇸 Boycott Israel, Free Palestine 🇵🇸
A sitting U.S. lawmaker just told 2.3 million Palestinians to “starve away,” brushing off their agony as a hoax and spewing Islamophobia. This is an open endorsement of genocide and collective punishment - a war crime.
Meaningless ….MEANINGLESS
Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.…
Don’t normalize this. Don’t accept this. Don’t let it become routine. Don’t let it fade from headlines. Don’t let it pass without consequence. Don’t let it happen again tomorrow. Don’t grow numb to it. Don’t stand with those who justify it. Don’t stop demanding its end.

'As many as 30 trucks were scheduled to enter, but only five were allowed in by the Israeli military. Thousands of people gathered there, and the Israeli military opened fire on them', reports Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud from Gaza City. 🟥 Read report aje.io/jtm9g2
Israel is starving thousands of children to death as we speak and yet smug, gawking CNN commentators are still demanding that Palestinians condemn Hamas. For what? What the fuck does it matter who anyone “condemns” while Israel is committing genocide?

Arab regimes are writing the book on how to give the thieves (Israel/US) the keys to your home.
🚨NEW! In this commentary, @TariqNDana argues that Arab-Israeli alliances—sustained by repression & reinforced by Western complicity—transformed a potential turning point for isolating the Israeli regime into an opening for expansion & regional dominance: ow.ly/Kaog50Wt8wh
"The alignment of Arab regimes with Israeli objectives has enabled Israel to wage a genocidal campaign in Gaza with impunity while also creating a strategic opening to expand its regional influence and aggression elsewhere." By Tariq Dana ow.ly/HKW650WrcZs via @AlShabaka

Senator Woo is correct about the antisemitism discourse in 🇨🇦. Horrifyingly, far too many Jewish Canadians continue to defend or justify 🇮🇱’s war crimes. I was raised in the Jewish community & am not surprised. It’s steeped in anti-Arab racism & centred around Jewish supremacy.
A good portion of the antisemitism discourse in Canada is also doing the same, aided and abetted by government advocacy of the flawed IHRA definition of antisemitism and amplified by ignorant comments from civic leaders. I stand with Jewish Canadians against Israel’s war crimes.
In a desperate rescue attempt, four Palestinian youth climb the roof a building to save civilians wounded by Israeli attacks. However, another brutal Israeli strike targeted and killed them, earlier today.
In May, Canada did the same thing — Nothing happened. Responding with another statement is a pathetic self-own. Canada needs to announce sanctions on Israel, otherwise this isn’t “news.”
