It's Amazing

Ahmed and Dina's family, consisting of 4 very young children (the youngest, Ronza, less than a year old!) have returned home to north Gaza. I can't help but worry if he and his family will be alright, especially after hearing about the devastation they felt from what they found remaining of their home.

Ahmed tells me there is no internet in the northern Gaza Strip at the moment, so he will be unable to be online for a while; in the meantime, please help him to continue his fundraiser's progress! What a nice surprise to return to: to see that people haven't forgotten about you and continued to help in your absence!

Please consider donating to his family's fundraiser, so that they may be able to evacuate, rebuild, or do whatever else is necessary to begin to bounce back after this. They are so close to the goal, so please do whatever you can to help them reach the finish line!

It *is* a problem that charismatic species are often focused on for conservation at the expense of less charismatic but important species, but threatened species that are the subject of a lot of public outreach and education are also typically strategically selected.

I suspect that monarch butterflies are an example of this. Milkweed is a highly valuable plant for pollinators and a host plant for like. 400+ insect species. Getting people to plant it to save monarchs is funny because you're essentially finessing people into saving a ton of other insects that they wouldn't ordinarily care about

Palestinian men and boys in Gaza describe the torture, humiliation, and dehumanization that they suffered during their time as captives of the Israeli occupation forces. “They forced us to make dogs’ sounds,” one man tells the camera. “If you refused to do so, they would beat you.” Another tells the reporter, “When they saw us falling asleep, they would come with a lighter and burn our backs with it.”

“Every hour was like years,” the same man says. “The torture was unbelievable.” Reports have emerged in recent days of mass roundups, torture, and execution of men and boys in Beit Hanoun and other parts of north Gaza. Detainees were identified by loved ones and others in the community who recognized them from the photos the occupation forces have been releasing.

As more footage and testimony are released, the depth of the horrors inflicted upon our people in Gaza are being brought to light. While we may never know the full extent of those horrors, what we already know is enough for any person of conscience to be able to identify as war crimes that are as depraved as they are systematic.

“My message for the world is to look at those detainees,” the final detainee tells viewers. “We are respected people. We are not animals.”
