“When you look at the sky in Gaza, you can't differentiate. Is this a cloud or is this smoke? The whole time you're listening to the sounds of drones, quadcopters, airstrikes and bombs,” says award-winning journalist Plestia Alaqad.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ramadan. Ramadan is 23 years old and worked in his father’s sewing factory. His father was killed and now he’s responsible for his family including his siblings Rula, 26, Rami, 20 and Ramey, 17 as well as his 2 year old nephew Jihad.

The shameful part is that Palestinians were always telling the world what's happening & were always getting killed by Zionists. But those deaths were not enough. It took a full blown genocide for most westerners to come around...and even now some people have the audacity to say "it's complicated"

After Israel illegally abducted activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, it tortured the activists who were trying to bring aid to Gaza.

Israel is a rogue state, torturing international activists. It must be sanctioned.

More Gaza flotilla activists allege mistreatment in Israeli detention

Activists deported from Israel following their arrest in the aid flotilla to Gaza say they were treated 'like monkeys'.

Craig Mokhiber, Former UN Human Rights Office official, condemns Israel’s illegal interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla:

Graphic post featuring a statement from Craig Mokhiber about the Israeli interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. The text condemns the use of armed force, mines, and threats against humanitarian ships as violations of international law, calling it a major threat to peace and human rights. It notes 45 nationalities are on board and questions where their governments are. At the bottom is Craig Mokhiber’s name with a verified badge, his X (Twitter) handle, and small boats visible in the background with “FREE PALESTINE” written on one.

#OnThisDay 25 years ago, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Durrah in Gaza as his father tried to shield him from bullets.

The moment shook the world and turned al-Durrah into a symbol of the second Palestinian Intifada ⤵️
