Imagine surviving massacre after massacre, only to be killed by hunger. Which is worse? To burn alive in your tent, to be sniped as you seek out food, to be split into two pieces by a bomb, or to starve until you resemble a skeleton? In Gaza, death is not a matter of if, but how.

what's maddening is that this has been obvious from the beginning but there have been so many people pretending that this isn't what's happening

One month after his release from ICE detention, Mahmoud Khalil is on Capitol Hill meeting with lawmakers. “I feel that this is my duty to continue advocating for Palestinians—this is what the Trump administration tried to do—they tried to silence me. But I'm here to say that we…

Israel imposed its total siege in Oct ‘23. US cut UNRWA funding in Jan ‘24. The fact that 2 million are starving now was not only foreseeable, it was deliberately planned and executed. Obfuscating this is genocide denial

Up in London.

A Palestinian civilian was shot and killed by Israeli warships while filming his friend in front of the displaced families’ tents at Gaza’s port.

I noticed that the wounded arriving from Israeli airstrikes were bleeding less, despite the severity of their injuries. When I asked a doctor, he explained that extreme hunger reduces blood platelets and body fluids, weakening circulation and limiting bleeding—but it also makes…

That onesie is supposed to be white but it’s soaked in blood. And there is a baby next to her with its stomach falling out. Israel is splitting open Palestinian babies. This is what your tax dollars are paying for.

Oh boy. OH BOY.

the suspensions are from this action btw. where columbia public safety tried gouging the eyes out of a palestinian student who was recording the events inside.

in december 2023 health and aid workers in gaza had to create a new acronym WCNSF (wounded child no surviving family). i thought nothing on earth could be more heartbreaking. that was 18 months ago and those children are being starved to death

'I did not consider myself justified in exterminating the men and then allowing their children to grow up to wreak vengeance on our children and grandchildren. The difficult decision had to be taken to make these people disappear from the face of the earth' Heinrich Himmler 1943

If countless photos of starving, skin-and-bone children, elderly people, HUMANS in Gaza haven’t appeal to the world, maybe a before-and-after of animals will? This is Tom, my cat, before Israel’s genocide, and just moments ago, in the midst of its deliberate, systematic…

You know who dies first in famines? Kids, orphans, people with disabilities or illnesses, people without familial support networks (because Israel killed their families). You know what we've started seeing? Grown men in the prime of their lives dying.

Every time I see a dead Palestinian baby or a toddler, there’s one thing that destroys my soul: the little elephants on their burnt romper, the bloody Spider-Man T-shirt, the Anna and Elsa motifs on a burnt frilly dress. All the characters that little people love to wear.

Our minds are fixated on the color white — between shrouds and flour — and both signify death.

You know the situation is dire if the New York Times is using the active voice when describing a murder.

حتى الحيوانات في غزة ماتت من الجوع..!

Silence or Death. The Israeli army is once again threatening journalists for exposing the truth from Gaza. After I reported live on civilians collapsing from hunger, I was directly targeted with public incitement by the army’s spokesperson. This is an attempt to silence us—and…

British surgeon Nick Maynard: “These children are being targeted almost as if it’s a game… One day they’re all shot in the head, the next day in the neck, and another day in the testicles… There is a clear and deliberate pattern to the injuries.”
