When I made this post just ten days ago, it was about mass graves discovered at Al Shifa hospital and now we have learned that the same had happened at Nasser hospital in Gaza. The same genocidal pattern: a hospital is put under siege, patients and medical staff are abducted, tortured and buried in mass graves.

But to build on the last point I wanted to bring attention to in the previous post, it is very crucial to also keep in mind is that the Palestinian Civil Defence have reported that Israel had deliberately concealed the identities of those it killed and buried in these mass graves. Close to 400 bodies have been buried in these mass graves, 58% of the recovered bodies have not been identified.

In a press conference, a spokesperson of the civil defence in Gaza said that Israel had intentionally disfigured the bodies postmortem in order to remove any identifying markers such as birthmarks. He also mentioned that they suspect that the bodies have been placed in body bags that expedited the decomposition process, destroying any possibility of them being identified.

One of the main and only ways families have been able to identify the bodies of their loved ones is through the clothes they remember them wearing the last time they saw them. I saw a video of a mother identifying her son by his striped jacket. You can see the grief mixed with relief that she will be able to give her son proper burial.

Remember when months ago I said that to be identified and buried in Gaza has become a luxury? This is very much still the case.

Update: North Gaza Women's Project!

Mahmoud Abu Salama is doing an amazing thing in North Gaza! He is starting a project to help Deaf Palestinian women use their pastry making skills while also distributing food to families in need. This is helping both the women make a bit of a living and feed the hungry in the North.

By donating, we’re helping Mahmoud hire more women who take pride in helping both themselves and their communities! So please feel free to donate if you have a few dollars to spare, or spread the link if you're unable! Any little bit helps!

There's a video of this gazan boy crying and talking about how he wants to step on the head of the israeli soldier that would step on his head when he held him captive. That boy is 12. I can't conceive the hatred that israeli soldiers have for these children to treat them with such barbarity. I watched that video and afterwards walked around with my hands clenched thinking about how many other children that are my brothers age and younger are being tortured and how zionists online are just gleefully denying it or laughing at these videos. I fucking hate these people for what they've done the trauma they inflicted only to go back to their lives. And this violence is endorsed by college faculty who r treated like their opinions are deserving of fair treatment while professors that endorse palestinian resistance are treated like they're crazy

Why is it that the buzz around the Central World Kitchen massacre lasted so long it practically drowned out everything else, but the ongoing, daily attacks on the Palestine Red Crescent Society don’t get any coverage? Israeli settlers have not stopped at Ramallah, the attack from a few days ago that injured multiple Palestinians; now they’ve moved on to al-Mughayir, a village near it, and the injuries coming out of that are equally barbaric. But it’s not just normal individuals they’re attacking—they’re opening fire on paramedics trying to reach those wounded too.

Like I don’t think it’s being properly reported just how frequent these attacks are. I feel like mainstream media is in a lull right now, where you don’t see much coverage about IOF attacks on residential areas—but they are still absolutely happening, and they are happening every single day. Two dead from an attack in central Gaza, IOF attacks on the PRCS this morning in al-Far’a, literally assaulting a volunteer paramedic before releasing him, and now allowing Israelis to continue attacking ambulances trying to attend to Palestinians after village raids. And this came in light of Biden’s shock and awe speech about protecting aid workers. It’s revolting.

In the West Bank, 4 different villages are being attacked and burned per day by mobs of armed zionazi settlers, according to a reporter on the ground (I'll be posting the video later when I manage to clear storage). The 'civilians', armed by the state, creating pogroms and lynch mobs, cannot be given the benefit of the doubt. A colonial society at its core is a militarized and violent one. What is stolen by violence from its rightful owners can only be retained by maintaining that violence. Now they feel their control over Palestinians and our land slipping. So they're going all out. This won't go on for much longer. This is in fact a sign they're losing.

Free them all!!!

All apartheid walls must fall.

The insistance in the West to call October 7th “the greatest antisemitic massacre of this century” is more than anything else a way to make people forget their own actual antisemitic massacre.

By insisting to call October 7th an antisemitic massacre and by even calling it “the greatest antisemitic massacre” they try to make it the reference for antisemitic massacres instead of WW2. They are trying to make people forget or at the very least think “look we changed but the Arabs are barbaric and antisemitic” they want to pretend that their antisemitism was an accident was just a bump on the road and that the real antisemitism comes from Palestinians and from Arabs in general.

Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?

Palestinians are literally being treated as invalids & it hurts so much to see. It’s so heartbreaking watching footage of Palestinians walking the demolished streets of Khan Younis in shock, with some saying (with no emotion, bc they’ve been enduring this for months) that their homes are simply gone. There was nothing to come back to by the time Israeli troops left. These are whole, multidimensional human beings like you and me who no longer have homes they could live in. And there is literally no recourse. They’re supposed to just pick up the pieces all alone. It’s so dehumanizing I could cry about it.

So important to reinforce that advocacy for Palestinian rights doesn’t end at a ceasefire that has already come too little, too late. At that point it would be about advocating for Palestinians’ rights for quality of life, Palestinians’ rights to retribution, and most importantly Palestinians’ right to freedom. Although those numbers have certainly intensified since Oct. 7, the Palestinian struggle goes back decades. I don’t want to see anyone hanging up their hats when the US inevitably paints themselves as the western savior Palestine has needed all along, finally flying in on a golden chariot to broker peace. This is far from over when a ceasefire is declared, and it’ll be far from over until every Palestinian enjoys the quality of life any human being is entitled to.

Since I'm getting alot of replies, comments & questions in my inbox stating that "Israel has to bomb them as self defense" or "Israel bombs the hospitals & schools to get to Hamas" or the funniest one yet "they're war casualties".

I'd like to present to you an Israeli old war crime that doesn't have to do with Palestine, the "Bahr El-Baqar primary school bombing"

Where did that happen?

Egypt.

When did that happen?

8th of April 1970.

Who caused the death of 30 children & injured 50 including teachers?

Israel.

So of course you're asking why did Israel say they bombed a children's primary school?

Does it remind you of something?

Also remember how the US helps Israel with ammunition, money and more?

Guess the type of warplanes Israel used to bomb the school in 1970, yes you're right they were American.

"With American Phantom warplanes, the enemy hit an Egyptian children's school"

Also here's a link about the US-Israeli alliance regarding the warplanes:

In conclusion, don't be surprised by what's happening in Palestine & Gaza, it's not the first time Israel attacks civilians for no reason then come out with the "they have a military base/Hamas underground", also don't be surprised by the US backing them up, it's not the first time & it won't be the last so let me remind you:

(my poor translations)

Salah Jahin wrote about it:

"The lesson ended, gather the notebooks..

what's your opinion on the red spots,

O conscience of the world, my dear?

It belongs to a brown Egyptian child..

she was one of my most brilliant students..

her blood paints a rose.. paints a revolution banner..

the child's blood paints the morning sun" (the bomb was dropped at 9:20 am)

Amin Khazem speaks about the conditions of the prisons following his release, 7 April 24, via RNN Prisoners

Audio in Arabic; subtitles in English transcribed: "I've been imprisoned by the occupation for the last 11 months. Things changed dramatically after October 7th. I don't want to say they changed 90 degrees, but 3,800 degrees! The minimum I can describe of life inside occupation prisons is that it is living hell. Unfortunately, a lot of our youth are experiencing torture and pain, that some of them wish martyrdom so that their torture and suffering can end in the occupation prisons. The occupation limits their clothing and bed covers during bitter cold weather. For each hour of sleep, we're awake for two hours due to the coldness. For six months, the occupation has kept us hungry. How do they keep us hungry for this long? The amount of food they would give us would not satisfy a 7 year old. A lot of our martyrs in prisons were martyred due to excruciating beatings. Many of them would end up with internal bleeding and would not receive medical treatment. Instead they would be left to bleed in their prison cell until they're martyred."

Every mainstream media outlet imaginable wants you to know that Israel has just re-opened the Erez border, thereby allowing aid through it for the first time since October 7. The White House released a statement saying that it’s delighted to hear this news. It’s a great improvement from previous arrangements, reports state.

What they fail to mention is that now 30% of all Palestinian children under 2 in Gaza are malnourished, that the death toll has surpassed 33k, and that the US—the same superpower that’s telling Israel to protect the civilians—has signed off billions in weapons to Israel not even a month ago.

It’s extremely aggravating to me when people are tone-deaf enough to celebrate “small wins” like this. Biggest thing is, we don’t know how many trucks Israel will grant access. In February it was as little as 14 trucks a day, which is not enough considering Gaza is now suffering mass starvation. Not only that, but this also came in light of a majority white convoy being targeted, which angered Israel’s allies—and is ultimately what forced them into opening this border up. This is still not and never has been about the devastation in Gaza. This is about PR—and also about the US asserting its influence over Israel. None of this reads as humane or with good intention to me.

And finally—and this is what I think makes me the angriest—this is proof that the US could have stopped it all much sooner if they wanted to. I already know this will be people’s go-to for defending their decision to vote for the verminous, blood-soaked war criminal that is Biden (and when I say Biden, I mean him and his genocidal administration equally). What they fail to realize is it’s actually the very proof that the US has been complicit in this all along, that it willingly chose to infantilize itself and play wary ally that has to tiptoe around Israel. It’s disgusting, it’s duplicitous, and it’s unforgivable. This is not getting any thanks from me, and I question anyone who chose to celebrate this move rather than see it for what it really is.
