Heartbreaking to wake up to another first cousin killed by Israel. Hamada was a very kind soul. We grew up together in the same street. I remember him as a truly humble, kind & hardworking family man. This heart cannot handle more heartbreaks. Get us an immediate ceasefire now 🙏🏼

Israel is attacking Gaza now from the sky. My family WhatsApp group reports an explosion after another. My sister wrote, ‘they are so loud, similar to the ones Israel used against us in 2021’. Our families haven’t yet recovered. The trauma is constant.

All I want in 2024 is a ceasefire and a complete lift of the siege on Gaza.

They called back and Hind, the only survivor, responded and counted 6 dead bodies around her. The Red Crescent sent a team to try to rescue Hind. 48 hours later, we do not know whether Hind or the Red Crescent team has survived.

In the early 1970s, Palestinian prisoners wrote a letter to Angela Davis. It was smuggled out of an Israeli prison, then given to someone who brought it to the US & gave it to someone who smuggled it to Angela in prison. Have you come across similar stories of prison solidarity?

They were just chanting "death to Arab" in Jerusalem and finished the day with brutalising a besieged traumatised population with military airplanes in the middle of the night. Is there a word in the English dictionary to describe this colonial brutality?

My mom then told me, “but we had to find a way to light a fire to make a cup of herbal tea.” Remember this next time you watch an Israeli official saying “Israel is trying to protect civilians”.
