Beautiful people of a beautiful land

Everyday I think about Gaza

When I go to bed, warm and comfortable. I think about the freezing people in tents who barely have scraps to keep them alive

When I take a shower, unafraid of the water stopping or going cold. I think of the people in gaza who havent showered for months and barely have clean drinking water.

When I watch my brother play with his race cars and my sister with her dolls, I think about the children, who despite all their hardships still find ways to smile and play

When we sit down to eat dinner, never having to fear food on the table the next day. I think about the starving mothers who can't feed her children and the older siblings walking miles to feed his siblings. I think about the people who died of starvation. I think about the people of gaza

When I go to my school where my friends chat and my teachers teach, I think about the universities demolished and the aspiring students who are no more

When my parents leave for a few hours and I take care of my siblings, I know they'll be back in a while to take over. But what about the teenagers turned parents? What about the orphans caring for toddlers? What about the children in gaza

Every day I think about the hopeful people of Palestine. The brave people of Palestine. The relentless people of Palestine. The stubborn and beautiful people of Palestine.

When I look at my house, the buildings, the sky, the water, my family, the lights, the sun, the internet, the food, my school, my friends, the children, the parks, the birds, the cats, the toy stores, the supermarkets, the bustling crowds, the heavy traffic

my world so full of life...

I think about Gaza

Displaced children have been forced to seek makeshift shelter in chicken coops after their tents succumbed to flooding. This tragic reality evokes painful echoes of history, reminiscent of the deplorable conditions endured by Jews during the Holocaust, confined to horse stalls and sleeping on wooden shelves never intended for humans.

The phrase “never again” lost its meaning shortly after World War II, as the world witnesses a disturbing repetition of past atrocities. Despite solemn vows, the world’s involvement in supplying arms only exacerbates the suffering of the oppressed. It serves as a stark reminder that complacency and inaction pave the way for history to repeat itself.

''women'' instead of girls

''people'' instead of children

''dead'' instead of killed

''hamas'' instead of Palestine

''conflict'' instead of Genocide

“Hit” instead of shot

'' chaotic incident '' instead of massacre

Media is doing everything in their power to downplay what isr@el is doing to Palestine

From the river to the sea.

اللهم انصر اخواننا و خواتنا في فلسطين

Help for Abdallah, an independent animal rescuer in Gaza

I remember September 2001. I wasn't even 10 years old and on the other side of the ocean, and yet I saw it. I remember.

How the world was shaken, how the fear was palpable, how the sadness was everywhere. We had a minute of silence in my school, we talked about it at home. The loss was heavy, the earth scarred.

So why ?

Why does Palestine have to endure all of this while everyone is looking away ? Why does my country not helping Gaza ? Why the erasure of so many people, so many innocents, so many children, an entire civilisation and knowledge and faith and beauty, doesn't break the heart of every human being ?

I know a lot of places suffered the same way, still suffer the same way and all because of colonizing countries like mine.

But now, the genocide in Gaza destroyed almost as much as ten World Trade Center attacks.

I can't help but talk about it. Even if it's throught a stupid drawing. This shouldn't have happened. This shouldn't still happen. Ceasefire now. Free Gaza and Palestine.

LET GAZA LIVE, FREE THEM ALL, VIVA VIVA INTIFADA

we've been watching a horrific genocide for 4 months now, and your silence in complicity. ceasefire is the bare minimum, and just the beginning.

Have a friend who’s neutral and said when I showed her a picture of dead children in Gaza

“Ew, I did not want to see that.”

No shit. But this is the real world and I told her that Israel is bombing Palestine and she still said she’s neutral. She said that Palestine did things too.

Did the kids do anything?

Did they?

Did the families do something that justified getting bombed? Murdered in cold blood?
