Dr Khawla Badwan

A team of mighty women working on something mighty out of our crumbling words and world. What a humbling honour and maddening grief 🙏🏼

I’m still here. 620 days ago. When kids were being slaughtered, losing limbs, growing hungry and they begged us, in English, to let them live. I never moved on; I’m still here.

“I never witnessed the level of brutality and use of indiscriminate and unnecessary force against a civilian population, an unarmed, starving population…in all the places I’ve been deployed, until I was in Gaza, at the hands of the IDF and US contractors”

Every form needs an address To remember we use the old address To remember we keep job titles To remember we write And on every form we exist beyond

It seems you have to be on the verge of mass extermination from forced starvation and 88% forcibly displaced with 90% of infrastructure destroyed in Gaza by an illegal occupation to be considered for statehood by a genocide enabling power in several months time. Too late.

Former U.S. Green Beret and GHF contractor to the BBC: "Without question I witnessed war crimes by the Israel Defence Forces, without a doubt." "Using artillery rounds, mortar rounds, firing tank rounds into unarmed civilians is a war crime.”

Just when you lose faith in humanity, when Zionism's cruelty seems unstoppable. A light like Dr. Elidalis Burgos reminds you goodness still fights. Get some tissues.. sobbing 😭

You don’t have to be Palestinian to feel the weight of this. You only have to understand what it means to be told your existence is a threat, your memory is a weapon, and your survival is a provocation. What Gaza teaches is not just the cruelty of occupation, but the ferocity…

I commend the UK ambassador for her strong statement at the UNSC. I urge the UK and other governments who are finally raising their voice against the abysmal inhumanity unleashed against the Palestinian people, to walk the talk and impose sanctions on Israel now. Together we can…

Not a humanitarian catastrophe, but a genocide, committed by *your* ally Israel with *your* support for 21 months. And you clearly won’t pull every lever: RAF planes are still flying over Gaza, parts are flowing for Israel’s F35 bombers, Israeli officials still come freely to UK.

"I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces shooting at the crowds of Palestinians." "I witnessed the Israeli Defense Forces firing a main gun tank round ... into a crowd of people, destroying a crowd of civilians that were simply driving away from the site." — Ex-U.S. Green Beret

I'm not sure that people realize how abnormal it is for journalists to be killed in wars. More have been killed in Gaza (232) than in the Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (+Cambodia and Laos), the Yugoslav wars, and the Afghanistan war, combined.

Reminder: Starmer is secretly allowing Israeli military planes involved in bombing Gaza to land in Britain The commander of the Israeli Air Force was also welcomed to UK last week, while Israeli soldiers continue to be trained in Britain Labour are up to their neck in genocide

Something has changed and those who defended Israel most forcefully are now pretending to care about the genocide Don’t forget the harm they did, don’t forgive them. Their day of reckoning must come

They keep hinting at emptying Gaza of its inhabitants. And you think: surely, such ‘final solution’-kind-of-project is unthinkable. But then you have to face the fact that Gaza is where the US-Israeli dominated Western colonial assemblage has made the unthinkable thinkable and

It’s not a “humanitarian catastrophe,” it’s a genocide that you refuse to call, by your ally that you refuse to name.

We are neither dead, nor alive too #GazaStarving #GazaGenocide #KeepTellingofGaza

Stop defending this, stop arming the military doing this, stop giving our tax dollars to the state that is starving babies.

Speaking up only at the final stage of a holocaust isn't moral courage, it's moral cowardice. The silence in the face of kids being bombed, beheaded, split in half, maimed and orphaned for 21 months enabled kids finally to be starved

Forcing a whole population to leave the region where they live, their homes and their communities, is in fact the destruction of a group. Societies are not just collections of individual bodies. The narrowing of ‘destruction’ to ‘physical destruction’ is sociologically incoherent

Because ISRAEL LIES. Maybe it’s important to mention that fact since their entire propaganda campaign to justify starving civilians is based on this lie.
