Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!
Who it should've been
Since when did bombing shelters become normal and okay? Since when is bombing hospitals with the already suffering people in it justifiable? Gaza is undergoing the worst and lowest point yet, Israel is bombing and targeting hospitals more than ever. With the ground invasion, everything is getting worse.
Two days ago, Israel started dropping a new kind of weapon. Al shifa hospital has been hit by a Hellfire R9X missile. It is a Hellfire variant with a kinetic warhead with pop-out blades instead of explosives, used against specific human targets. Designed specifically to mutilate humans. Every day the genocide gets worse, injuries like we've never seen before, please never stop talking about gaza nor Palestine. They need us.
just another innocent civilian dead while the us continues to twiddle its thumbs on pushing for a ceasefire.
Motaz posted a 22 minute video and here’s the takeaways:
- north Gaza is being heavily bombed. There are estimates say one person is killed every five (5) minutes.
- new massacre in jabalia, many killed with no media coverage (2 journalists were injured this morning.)
- no connection or food in the north, no food, only aid since the last pause
- Motaz has not showered for six days and others haven’t showered for weeks
- in two days, one Israeli drone came to Motaz’s home (and other houses) and it was able to kill and shoot
- there’s no food
- “you are waiting to die. This is what Gazans still alive now do. You are waiting to be killed,”
- everyday it gets worse
- aid does enter Gaza, but it is not enough. Israel won’t let a large amount enter.
- “you can’t help us, I’m sorry you can’t help us, you can’t do anything”
- he denied an interview from CNN since he does not want to be judged by people.
- “if you are human, you will share the videos, but don’t tell us you did something for us.”
- he works for UNRWAUSA, and those are the only people he trusts.
- people have been blaming him for not “doing enough/sharing enough”
- one thing in Arabic he says is “The death of Palestinians is easier than drinking water.”

"There's a Palestine that dwells inside all of us, a Palestine that needs to be rescued: a free Palestine where all people regardless of color, religion, or race coexist; a Palestine where the meaning of the word "occupation" is only restricted to what the dictionary says rather than those plenty of meanings and connotations of death, destruction, pain, suffering, deprivation, isolation and restrictions that Israel has injected the word with"

today a small group of around 80 pro palestine protesters managed to shut down the bay bridge, which connects the cities of san francisco and oakland, for around 6 hours.
their strategy? they parked their cars in a horizontal line to block west bound traffic, and then proceeded to throw their keys into the water bellow.
joe biden is currently visiting san francisco for the apec summit.
Gaza has a large disabled population. Wissam is just one of tens of thousands, who need medication and care, facing the devastating choice of being slaughtered at home or out on the streets. All districts in Gaza but one have been declared combat zones.
All y’all out here saying “Mike Schmidt is such a dom!” “Mike is really good at hiding how dominant he is!”
