What being pro-Palestine means to me / my platform: I'm passionately, unequivocally, and without hesitation, a proponent of the Palestinian people’s just and urgent aspirations for self-determination, liberation, sovereignty, and safety. I grew up in Gaza, where I experienced…
In an op-ed for the @jdforward, I argue that violent rhetoric can’t help realize Palestinian aspirations for a better future but that an American Muslim leader who models nuance can. I caution Mamdani against "globalize the Intifada" language. forward.com/opinion/757234…
Team @GHFUpdates: My friends in northern Gaza report that the Netzarim site has been closed for days. Can you please explain why? Will you check IDs to ensure that one person isn't picking up aid several times a day? How about pushing back the IDF's presence to prevent deaths?
Watch GHF’s spokesperson Chapin Fay on site at our Khan Younis distribution center explain how our team sets aside boxes for women and children to access safely. Today, we delivered over 2 million meals to the people of Gaza. Imagine how much more aid hungry Palestinians could…
I promise you that a unified, consistent callout of Hamas by pro-Palestine voices will make a difference! I promise you: if Hamas senses a shift in the global public opinion among allies of Palestine, the group will realize that it has lost & must stop the war it started. Try it!
Seriously what do we do?? We’ve protested, boycotted, campaigned, donated, written articles, pressured our government & institutions We’re on the streets We’re loud We’re persistent NOTHING is working! People are dying NOW. WHAT DO WE DO???
Scandal: Is the UN participating in the starvation of Gazans by not delivering aid? This is unconscionable if true. UN agencies must act quickly to deliver aid that's staged and ready to go in Gaza to reverse the hunger crisis. Otherwise, time for new actors & food airdrops.
Hundreds of trucks worth of aid is sitting inside Gaza, as we reported days ago. Five separate routes were offered to the UN to distribute this aid, I’m told. Palestinian civilians are in desperate need of this humanitarian support.
I won't condemn Hamas! True pro-Palestine voices shouldn’t wait to be asked if they condemn Hamas by TV presenters, as such critique and criticism of a vile terrorist group should be self-initiated. Imagine how much more powerful and resonant the message would be if the…
Welcome to the embarrassing, pathetic, ineffective & highly destructive state of "pro-Palestine" activism 2 years after October 7, where a simple condemnation of a terrorist group, Hamas, that destroyed Gaza & decimated Palestinian lives, is still refused & too much to ask for.
Confirmed: Hamas is now the only and sole obstacle to reaching a ceasefire deal to stop the killing and starvation in Gaza; so disgustingly so that mediators, including those who have tried to be understanding of the group's position, are sick & tired of the games. The newest…


The daily horror in Gaza continues: this is how civilians are killed regularly, regardless of claims that they are protected, receive evacuation notices, are served notification flyers, or told to vacate an impending strike zone. IDF airstrikes have killed hundreds of civilians…
Hundreds of courageous civilians in Gaza took to the streets in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, to protest Hamas, attack the group’s slogans, demand the war's end, decry the terror group's negotiating team in Qatar, demand an end to starvation & ask Hamas to stop the bloodshed. Yes,…
Hamas's police used pick-ups & donkey carts to steal aid throughout the Gaza war, especially during the ceasefire earlier this year, where hundreds of trucks entered the Strip daily. Right here before your eyes! But according to NGOs & media, there's still "no evidence" of theft.

Never forget: Palestinian-American diaspora communities have largely been a disaster & a mega embarrassment when it comes to using their Western privilege to help evolve and progress the Palestinian people's pursuits of statehood & freedom, opting to support Hamas/terror instead.
The Palestinian resistance in Gaza announced on Sunday that it will intensify its operations against Israeli occupation forces. palestinechronicle.com/saraya-al-quds…
When an ardent supporter of Israel, Amb. Huckabee, has stern words for Jerusalem's mistreatment of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank & Gaza, and issues harshly worded threats over the treatment of American Christian groups visiting the Holy Land, something is deeply off.
Taybeh is a quiet Palestinian Christian village south of Jerusalem w/ a lot of American citizens that has been vandalized-including fires set at ancient church. I visited there today. Desecrating a church,mosque or synagogue is a crime against humanity & God.
Food airdrops can save lives! The hunger crisis in Gaza has reached truly horrific levels; aid distribution is not working as intended, and half of the Strip's population is unable to access the most basic of their needs. It's time to deploy food airdrops as a temporary measure…




Please get us out of here! I've spent the past 10 days speaking to over 40 Palestinians in Gaza about a variety of subjects related to the war in the Strip. Here are the three most pressing issues that came up: 1. Hunger is the worst it’s been: GHF is a failure, most civilians…
If Hamas apologists and those who speak about hunger, suffering, and the daily killings in the Strip without ever assigning any role or blame to the terror group would bother listening to Palestinians in Gaza, the discourse & trajectory of events would be so radically different.
بإسمي وبإسم كل أهالي غزة: إحنا مستعدين نفوت بعلاقات سلام مع إسرائيل ولا نضل جعانين جعان لانه المقاومة طلعت أكذوبة القرن
Oh look! White leftist "pro-Palestine" dudes are really racists, calling me a "boy" like I'm gonna pick they cotton. Scumbag Matthew writes about Gaza like he knows more about it than Palestinians who have hundreds of family/friends living there, providing a vast source of daily…
Hate on me, fine. Hate on @afalkhatib and @mo_shawki2 and you’re scum. Absolute garbage. Matthew Cockerill is just a bad human being who has little other to do than hate on people. No wonder he’s alone in his 30s still in grad school.
