Watch the coordination between the Israeli settlers are soldiers to attack me and attack other Palestinians in West Bank .
Israeli settlers attacked the house of Palestinian human rights defender @Issaamro — breaking the lock, hurling stones and damaging a CCTV camera. Soldiers were present, and instead of holding the settlers accountable, they tried to arrest Issa and confiscated his phone.

UPDATED: the Cartography of Genocide platform shows atrocity by atrocity the way Israel destroyed of ALL aspects of Palestinian life in Gaza. We will keep monitoring. The genocide does not just end with ceasefire. It continues as long as conditions of life are not restored.

This morning, as I watched the sunrise, a soldier approached me and threatened that if I continue to speak out against the occupation and document human rights violations, I will be evicted from my home or killed. I told him that I am not afraid — not of him, nor of his racist

I am nominated to Nobel peace prize , but I second your opinion about who should win it , doctors, journalists and first responders in Gaza deserve the prize .
Trump won't win the Nobel Peace Prize, experts predict UNRWA & Greta Thunberg have a higher chance! Personally, I think the prize should be awarded to Gaza's journalists, doctors & first responders, no one has ever shown greater courage in the face of evil & darkness than them!

Ceasefire or not, thousands of Gazans will spend tonight in a tent. Some are burning plastic “to heat their macaroni”, others walked miles for water to drink. @MiriamABerger @leloveluck + Siham Shamalakh talked to Gazans about what it takes to survive. https://t.co/WnmF0jvpQn

Tarpaulins and free slivers of earth are extremely rare as a quarter-million Palestinians flee Israel’s attack on Gaza City and crowd into pockets farther south.

The Israeli army arrested my friend Mohammad from my home. After detaining him, they handed him over to a Palestinian ambulance with broken bones. There was no reason, no justification. This is what military occupation and apartheid look like. Issa Amro, Hebron

When Israeli settlers attack aid trucks, no one stops or arrests them. But when my friend Itamar tried to protest the war, he was beaten and ill-treated by soldiers
Itamar Greenberg, a Jewish Israeli anti-war activist from a Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) family, refuses to serve in the IDF in protest against the occupation. On his post, he wrote: "Right now: breaking the siege. We are literally in Gaza! "
