I am a former academic with PhD in Middle Eastern studies. All opinions appearing here are my own and do not reflect those of any employer.
I don’t believe in the clean break; I believe in the compound fracture served with a sauce of dirty regret, I believe in saying it all and taking it all back and saying it again for good measure while the air fills up with I’m-Sorries like wheeling birds.
Courage and power to all my Greek friends and followers, from Piraeus to Syros, for your commitment to justice and humanity. Thank you for stepping into the breach with your very bodies. You are Europe's hope. 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
למה אתם מסתירים מעם ישראל את האמת ?!? לאונר״א יש מחסנים עם אספקה לכלל אוכלוסיית עזה לשלושה חודשים לפחות , כמו גם מערכת הפצה משומנת. כל שניה חשובה! עשרות אלפים מדרדרים לתוך השלב הבלתי הפיך של רעב קיצוני!! OPEN THE GATES! #Famine_in_Gaza
🚨BREAKING: A horrific massacre: The Israeli army killed 10 civilians including 6 children and a paramedic, and wounded dozens in an airstrike targeting a home in northwest of Gaza City.
🚨🚨🚨 הנתונים של משרד הבריאות בעזה פורסמו. 🩸כל שעה וחצי מת בן אדם בעזה מרעב. מצור מטורף של הרעבה עד כלות וחנק תרופות חולני שכפינו על ילדים ותינוקות פתחו את שערי הגיהנום.
Hunger. I can't stop saying and writing and thinking the word. Hunger, rather than "famine". Hunger. The physical sensation of the body eating itself because it has nothing else to eat. Hunger is not a form of "punishment". Hunger is not revenge. Hunger is an annihilation that…
סרבו. תהיה לכם תשובה למה עשיתם כשרצחו 100,000 בני אדם, 20,000 מתוכם ילדים, 1000 מתחת לגיל שנה בעזה.
Death by hunger, enforced hunger, manufactured hunger. It is here. The person who sees the body of a four year old girl, emaciated beyond belief, and has his or her "doubts", that person is a travesty of a human being. This was intentional, known and premeditated. It is here. The…
Another name and face you should know: Vice Admiral David Saar Salama, commander-in-chief of the Israeli Navy. Responsible for the systematic murder of fishermen, imposing an evil ban on Gazans from going into the sea, slaughtering random aid-seekers near GHF centers, and more.
This new video documents the moment Israeli gunboats opened fire on and circled Palestinian fishing boats just off the coast of Gaza. From the footage, it’s clear how close the fishermen were to the shore — far from posing any threat to any Israeli. And yet, Israel once again…
We have entered the era of the "might makes right, with no exceptions". Dark times await us all, unless we, the global society, wake up and protect our rights. No one is free unless everyone is free.
Genocide by hunger. Mass weaponized starvation. The eyes and the mind revolt against the images and the knowledge but it is all happening, here and now. I cannot stop it. I can only be here and now. I can bear witness. I can seek out others bearing witness. I will never stop…
Genocide. If you don’t stand against this you are complicit in it.
From the messages we are receiving from Gaza, from the images we are seeing from Gaza, hunger is at its worst, by design. People fainting in the streets. Infants and children dying of hunger.
🧵 Starvation is accelerating in #Gaza. Malnourished children are presenting in higher numbers. #Israel is killing aid seekers and aid workers. Aid convoys are blocked and displacement is rising fast. This thread shows what’s happening with data from UN OCHA’s latest update. >>
Malnutrition in #Gaza has risen sharply. In July so far, MSF clinics have recorded 983 cases of malnourished children, up from 293 in May. That’s a more than threefold increase in just over a month. Of these, 326 were under two years old. See dataviz >> public.flourish.studio/visualisation/…
Believe it or not, between this morning and noon in Gaza, Israel killed 65 people who were trying to get food near the Zikim aid crossing in northern Gaza. Then, at 2 P.M., it bombed a shelter in Khan Younis, killing another seven people.
עדכונים על רעב בעזה מתוך הודעת משרד הבריאות הפלסטיני: מאז הבוקר (20.7) נהרגו 73 הרוגים במרכזי חלוקת מזון ו 150 פצועים 86 בני אדם מתו מתת תזונה והתייבשות-76 מתוכם ילדים. בתוך 24 שעות נרשמו 18 מקרי מוות כתוצאה מרעב
73 dead so far in the daily death coralles massacre in Gaza. The IDF no longer bothers to deny or pretend. Palestinians must do as they are told - arrive at the corrales at a moment's notice but without lingering beforehand, queue for hours in unberabale conditions while…
סנקציות בינלאומיות להפסקה מיידית של הג'נוסייד. התערבות בינלאומית ישירה על הקרקע לבלימת הצבא והרצח. סירוב להשתתף בכל דרך בכל מנגנון שמאפשר את הרצח הוא בקושי התחלת המאבק.
Auschwitz was done in secret. This is done on social media
The difference between Gaza and Auschwitz is that the world still has an opportunity to stop the ethnic cleansing in Gaza
Good morning from stomachs that haven’t found a single bite to eat. It’s the third day with no food for me and our people in Gaza.
Famine in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. The Netanyahu government has intensified the famine during ceasefire negotiations, using mass starvation as leverage to force Hamas into concessions. People in Gaza are literally dying of famine as you read this.
Nearly half of my hometown. These neighborhoods include the only remaining agricultural orchards and farms, as well as the Middle Area’s only remaining drinking water treatment plant, in addition to encampments for thousands of displaced people. I’m sick to my stomach.
For the first time since the beginning of the genocide, the Israeli military has issued a mass expulsion order for a significant area of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, where displaced Palestinians are sheltering.
