So many things are complicated. Genocide is not one of them. It's super straight forward in fact.

‘You Carry Your Home With You’: A Palestinian Poet’s Journey Out of Gaza This is the most powerful short film I can ask people to watch. Not because it is about me and my family, but because mine is the story of thousands of Gazans who couldn’t share theirs. Huge thanks to the

Israel has just bombed another UN school that people are using as a shelter. Children killed. This is not a war. This is a genocide.

“I do not consent to my death being passing news. Say, too, that I love life, happiness, freedom, children’s laughter, the sea, coffee, writing, Fairouz, everything that is joyful—though these things will all disappear in the space of a moment.” - Nour al-Din Hajjaj

Brian Cox reads If I Must Die, by beloved Palestinian poet, teacher and martyr Refaat Alareer. Refaat was killed on December 7th by an Israeli airstrike. This was the last poem he published.

You are being repeatedly told that the problem is 20 year-old students using certain slogans instead of the most powerful entity on Earth arming and financing and politically protecting a nuclear power that is committing genocide.

for *weeks* now, a group of students at stanford have been demonstrating in sit-in against genocide in palestine. w/respect for their action & clarity, & that of students all over, i sent this piece to stanford daily on november 12. finally out 2 days ago https://t.co/0zMDHhbrAy

An English teacher & poet is assassinated in his home w his sister & her 4 children.Unarmed men are rounded up, stripped,& blindfolded in blistering winter. Brothers are carrying the remaining body parts of their family to bury.And Congress tells us our protest is genocidal #Gaza

I’m all out of words, but I won’t stop speaking.

The last video of my friend Prof. Refaat Al-Areer. Please watch and share widely. He was a professor of Shakespeare and comparative literature in Gaza. If his assassination along with his family doesn’t end this genocide, then to the hell with all the world.

If I must die, let it be a tale. #FreePalestine #Gaza

They are targeting writers, journalists, poets, intellectuals, people who terrify them with their brilliance. They are targeting ordinary people who they do not see as human. This is the second high-profile poet attacked by the state. This is targeted.

Israel killed Prof. Refaat al-Areer, one of Gaza's most prominent writers, poets & activists who spent his life trying to get Gaza's voice to the outside world. He was killed in a targeted airstrike on his sister's home that also killed his brother, sister & her 4 kids...

Some people pontificate in high-brow magazines, others pull their children from under the rubble. What a circus.

As if it was not disturbing enough to find premature babies rotting in a hospital where IOF forced everyone to evacuate, NOT ONE MEDIA OUTLET ASKED ISRAEL’S REPS ABOUT IT. They didn’t ask them about the most barbaric killings, or use barbarism to describe it. #Gaza #Genocide

Gaza’s main public library has been destroyed.
