The Palestinian villagers of Susiya have been told by settlers to vacate within 24 hours or be killed. I spent time in Susiya in 2016 and wrote about its history here. I beg our governments to find their moral courage and not be party to war crimes. https://t.co/kjT64PjYps
The situation is so dire that ten villages have been compelled to forsake their ancestral lands and flee in abject fear. Susyiah village now stands as the next target. We urgently beseech you to intervene without delay and bring this horrific nightmare to a halt. 4/

My neighbor has spent the past three days sitting over the rubble of what was once his home, grieving the loss of his eldest son. He does nothing but weep, his tears soaking the ruins as he recalls memories of his boy. Every day, he sits in silence, overwhelmed by pain, unable to

(Photos of after and before) I have no more words to say. The is what remained of the Edward Said Public Library in North Gaza. Photos were taken today. This is what I worked in the past seven years to build for my people with the help of friends in Gaza and outside. I waited for

Ever since the ceasefire started on Sunday, this government, through the IDF and its allies in the settlements, has been doing everything in its power to make sure Israel doesn’t reach the 2nd phase of the deal. Suddenly, Trump says he’s “not confident” the ceasefire will hold 🧵

On that night, after 471 days of living among the rubble of memories and wounds, time passes in an unfamiliar slowness. For the first time since those stormy days, I lay my head on the pillow without the accompanying feeling of terror that the place might be bombed in the blink

Ben-Gvir’s claim that he previously prevented today’s hostage deal (for months) shows that Netanyahu & his govt chose to prolong the war in Gaza while hostages died & Israel annihilated tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Shame on all those who’ve supported this horror.

15 months of foreign journalists being denied unfettered access to Gaza - while those inside showed us just how to report under one of the world’s most violent sieges and in the most horrifying conditions. Bravo Palestinian journalists
Western journalists will soon flood into Gaza. Many will report the appalling conditions they find there as a revelation. Don’t be fooled. At Al Jazeera we have been laying bare the full horror all along. “Nobody can say they didn’t know.” https://t.co/BR56BK8b8b

The 40 people who were killed after the ceasefire deal announcement yesterday afternoon managed to survive over the past 15 months, be it starvation, air strikes, illnesses, and the nonstop evacuation orders. Just in a click of a button, they were killed with their families. And
