Gaza Under Genocide - Blog Posts

A little Child carries a white flag as he flees with his dad and sister from Israeli bombardment in gaza. The father asks him why are you holding it? The kid replies with: I don't know!!

Translation for their conversation:

- Where are you going? Are you scared?

= No!

- Why are you carrying a white flag?

= I don't know!!

- We're moving cause we're under attack

= yeah

- Are you scared?

= No!

- what about you Soma (the little girl)?

= Yes. (Little soma is scared).

- The tank is behind us, hurry up.

Soma runs and calls "baba" and he says: Don't be scared sweetie. Don't! Alhamdulilah we were able to get them out.

This is how displaced people woke up today, trying to gather their family to get away from the bombs. In what world is it obligatory for a child to hold a white flag? Shouldn't the fact that he's a child be a white flag in itself?

"russia just invaded ukraine vs israel committing a genocide in palestine”

yeah just invaded.

yeah it a fair war of two relatively the same military powers.

yeah one side never said that the other never existed and shouldn’t exist now.

yeah one side is not targeting civilian infrastructure en masse.

yeah it’s just a conflict and not a continuation of a hundred-year conquest of an imperial power to destroy a nation.

it’s not like one side has killed at least 10 million people in the space of the last century while specifically targeting this nation in particular.

it’s great that you all read about palestinian history - this is a right thing to do and one of the ways to decolonise your own knowledge- but maybe pick up a timothy snyder or serhiy plokhy book and read when russians started killing ukrainians. you would be surprised that it didn’t start either in 2022 or 2014, its been going on FOR CENTURIES.

wording matters. check whether your country recognises holodomor as a genocide. if yes, read about it. if not, read about it as well.

and then check what constitutes a genocide and how both of this tragedies are genocides: of ukrainian people by russia and of palestinian people by israel.

I will post every picture, video and name of a live taken brutally by Israel. We have to remember their names, their hobbies, their dreams and their smiles. We can't let them be forgotten. We are not numbers, not statistics.

Keep sharing their stories whenever you find them, their memory should live on.

"I want to go back to feeling my hand. I wanna hold my hand"

This child Ibrahim Dahouk, from gaza strip, had his arm amputated in Israeli bombardment. He's crying, saying that he wants his hand back. Ibrahim says that the doctors told him he'd be able to if he could get outside of gaza for medical attention as soon as possible, he asks for anyone to put an end to the bombing so he could get proper treatment.

Translation:

"-Why are you crying?

I want to go back to holding my hand. I want to feel my hand.

My two cousins have been killed and I got injured. Please stop the war, that's what we want. We want to go back to our homes, we want to go back to live and to walk like before. They don't care about anything, they don't care about us. For the rest of my life I only want to feel my hand again, please. The doctor told me if you want your hand to grow back you have to get treatment abroad, immediately."

Then the man goes into explaining ibrahim's situation. Please if anybody knows how to help get Ibrahim the medical treatment for prosthetic limbs do everything you can, before he loses the remaining parts of his hand, share this on all platforms. And most importantly keep demanding a ceasefire. This has to stop.
