Holding them in faith, in pain, in courage and in pursuit of truth-telling. May these words never be forgotten. May they continue to offer a way to the maddening truth that is Gaza.

Israel bombed a school that was being used as a shelter for hundreds of displaced Palestinians, & as rescue crews rushed to the scene they bombed it again.

And just as this is always true, demonstrates through the genocide

So are the amazing new friends you will make because you will find the best of people in the worst of times. And they won’t be who you ever imagined

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

For the 6th time since Oct 7, 2023, the US vetoes UN Security Council resolution demanding immediate Gaza ceasefire and hostage release.

All 14 other members of the UNSC ‘voted in favour of the resolution, which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “catastrophic” ’.

We live in abyss.
