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.

they violently arrested 34 students and multiple faculty at random. meanwhile the zionist crowd yelling & blocking streets and sidewalks & cheering as arrests happened didn’t get a second glance

FundsForGaza is a page of a rotating list of fundraisers for Gazans - individuals and families who are in Gaza right now and facing genocide.

It is explained in more detail in this post from the official instagram account, but to quickly summarise, six verified fundraisers are highlighted at a time, allowing you to provide direct support without being overwhelmed by the amount of fundraisers, worrying about outdated information, or falling for scams.

Sharing this link and, if you are able to, donating even one dollar to one of the fundraisers listed will make a direct difference.

if you claim support for palestine please think about what you say before you send me a question. it is crucial for you to recognize and respect the humanity of palestinians BOTH offline and online, rather than treating us as mere objects of curiosity or entertainment.

i understand you might have some questions but please. please. think about how that question might be received and how it can cause feelings of distress or anxiety or guilt or anger on the palestinian reading it.

dont ask inhumane questions. or develop a weird parasocial relationship with the palestinians who are willingly using their online presence as a platform for you to learn. if you do these things, you are only perpetuating dehumanization and contributing to the marginalization of our voices.

your support should not be limited to being vocal about the ongoing genocide. approach your interactions with palestinians (BOTH offline and online) with empathy and understanding and respect. our dignity and rights as human beings are not non existent just because you have a question you’d like answered

i also think a lot of you need to realize that we have actual shit going on in our lives that isn’t being posted online at the moment. and this goes for every other person online but for palestinians right now more than anything .

your singular inhumane question or comment can be a palestinian’s last straw right now. don’t make us feel bad and discourage us from speaking. amplify us and treat us like the human beings that we are

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

the article goes into doctors' accounts of this in more detail, but they describe being tied to chairs and sliced with glass. being thrown into vehicles and beaten on the way--with rifles, with fists, hoses, sticks. they were constantly humiliated. they had to stand for irregular hours. they were left in nothing but boxers. many of their families don't even know they're detained and are frantically reporting them as missing. actual doctors. israel is now torturing doctors in gaza.

adding that since israel’s raid of this respective hospital, 13 out of the 200 patients have died. because the doctors who were treating them are now being held in torture chambers.

Four boys of the Bakr family were killed by a missile strike during last year’s incursion. Their surviving family members are still scarred from the attack.

More than anyone, children bear the brunt of regular Israeli military assaults on the Gaza Strip. During the 51-day war in the summer of 2014, 551 children were killed and 3,436 were injured. But these gruesome figures say little about the psychological state of the nearly 800,000 children who have survived the periodic bombing campaigns. After the final cease-fire that ended Israel’s Operation Protective Edge on August 26 of last year, UNICEF estimated that at least 425,000 Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip require “immediate psychosocial and child protection support.”

The physical wounds of Gaza children might have healed, but they live with enduring psychological trauma ]

Hamas has no reason to attack US citizens as polls show the public is becoming increasingly pro Palestine the longer this conflict goes on. Also Hamas is very busy currently fighting a guerilla war against the IDF inside the Gaza Strip.
