Really fucking sad. No words.

My colleague @ismail_gh2 and his team were kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces during their coverage of the Alshifa hospital attack. They were held for 10 hours and subjected to intense interrogation and dehumanization by the Israeli occupation forces. 40 days have passed, and not a single Western media outlet or journalists' advocacy agency has made any effort to reach out to him.

Palestinian journalists continue to face disrespect and dehumanization every single day.

Issued in 2000, this poster titled "Israel Targets Children" shows a photograph documenting child Fares Odeh, who was murdered ten days following this photograph, by the Israeli Occupation Forces at the age of 13.

“On Nov. 8, 2000, ten days after this photo was taken, Israel Defense Force troops shot in the neck and killed 13-year-old Fares Udah.”

Our relationship was spectral. I don't want to talk about love, and I'm reluctant to talk about desire. We had only a few things in common: some films, some folkloric figurines, the way he liked to tell tales of desperation, the way I liked to listen to them.

Journalist Hossam Shabat reports on weather conditions in Gaza. He writes

Today, temperatures in Gaza reached 37°C (100°F), with most residents living in tents where the temperature is even higher. People lack fans, air conditioning, or access to drinkable water.

This heatwave is expected to increase the risk of heatstroke among the already malnourished and dehydrated population in northern Gaza.

Ghazzans are not your property to sacrifice. Ghazzans are not yours to decide the fate of. Ghazzans are not going to die for your luxury. Ghazzans are not going to die for you. Ghazzans have the right to live like everyone else. Ghazzans have the right to a peaceful life like everyone else. Keep fighting for Ghazzah. Keep fighting for our loved ones.

Life’s overflow is the infinite, Which gathers and glimmers around him—he’ll never catch it. Yet it lives in him, and, present, warming, And fertile, the fruit contains its surfeit.

Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, famous Palestinian Feminist Scholar, talks about the violence of forced incarceration of martyrs, the disrespect of their bodies, sexual violence against Palestinian men, women, and children, and the continued violence Jerusalem Palestinians face as part of the ongoing genocide.

Maybe this is just me but I am really surprised that 2023 was the first time a lot of people heard about Palestine because 2021 was when settlers tried expelling Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah - this then escalated to the IOF attacking Palestinians in Al Aqsa and throughout the country (almost 300 Palestinians in Gaza were killed and thousands were injured) - there were massive protests all over the world in response. 2021 really laid the foundations for everything that is happening now but it surprises me how little people actually mention the uprising then or were even aware it was happening.

All things are too small to hold me, I am so vast

In the Infinite I reach for the Uncreated

I have touched it, it undoes me wider than wide

Everything else is too narrow

You know this well, you who are also there
