We’re back! And here to continue our support for Palestinian freedom (not that we let a cyber attack stop us). Let’s clear some things up:

The escalating campaign of Israeli incitement against hospitals in #Gaza seeks to deprive Palestinians of any chance of survival and to continue subjecting them to living conditions that lead to their destruction

#Testimonies | In south Lebanon, Israel controls farmers' olive harvest

Israel has prevented olive farmers and several towns from reaching their land and has only allowed others to harvest in the presence of the Lebanese Army.

Israel is blocking hundreds of Palestinian women in Gaza from lifesaving breast cancer care.

More than 500 were diagnosed in 2024–25, while destroyed hospitals, blocked medical supplies, and denied evacuations make treatment increasingly inaccessible. 🧵

Displaced from Beit Hanoun by Israel’s genocide on Gaza, Nahal Huwayhi has turned discarded aid-packaging ropes into a source of income for her family.

Working from her tent, she transforms the ropes into laundry baskets, children’s beds, simple storage units, plant-growing ld organisers.

Beyond helping her survive the harsh conditions of displacement, her handmade crafts have become a means of preserving her dignity and supporting her children.

Huwayhi hopes to expand her initiative into a small business that can provide a stable income for her family and create job opportunities for others.

🧵Palestine was transformed not only through colonization and dispossession, but also through efforts to reshape how the land was imagined, mapped, and represented: palquest.org/en/highlight/3…

In an act of collective punishment the Israeli rmy imposed complete closure of Hebron and the West Bank.

Why didn’t @nytimes issue a breaking news alert about her killing like it did for the Israeli soldiers?

Her name was Refeef Lubbad. She was 17, an 11th-grade student, shot and killed as she returned home from school.

You did not, and will not, see a breaking news alert about her killing. The New York Times and other complicit media outlets will not put her face on their front ll see her face and know her name.

May the day come when those who killed Refeef and our families are brought to justice, and when the names of journalists who justified, condoned, or dismissed their deaths as insignificant are displayed on every street, so their complicity is never forgotten.

Rafeef Lubbad

If Palestinians took their children to the motorways and roads to block aid trucks and food to reach Israelis, Palestinians would be painted as far worse than the Nazis by every mainstream media outlet and politician.

Haven’t seen a single story about this today. Not one.

Today, a little girl was sitting among her classmates in a tent in northern Gaza. We call it a school, although it is only a tent. The schools have been destroyed, and for nearly three years these children have been denied the right to learn.

Her teacher was explaining a lesson, and she was searching her schoolbag for a pen.

And then she felt a pain in her foot.

At first, she did not understand what had happened. Why should she? There was no fighting inside the tent, nothing to suggest that a bullet might reach her. Her classmates noticed the blood.

The children screamed. A place where children had gathered to recover their stolen education became a place where everyone was trying to save her life.

She arrived at Al-Rahma Clinic bleeding heavily. Our team treated her, and the doctor removed the bullet, but fragments remained close to an artery in her foot. An ambulance took her to the hospital, where she is undergoing surgery.

She was the second person brought to our clinic today with a gunshot wound from the same area.

And neither of them should have been there.

Israeli soldiers stand along the outskirts of Gaza, firing toward areas where civilians live. Beyond their rifles are families in tents and children trying to learn.

I think about the soldier who fired that bullet.

I do not know what he was thinking when he pulled the trigger.

But I know what happened at the other end of his rifle.

A little girl left home to learn, and before the day was over, she was lying on an operating table.

This thought is unbearable: that one human being may live an ordinary day while another’s life has been torn apart by his actions.

And what makes it even harder to bear is how ordinary such suffering has become to the world.

I wonder whether the world has grown so accustomed to our suffering that it no longer sees anything extraordinary in it.

A girl shot during a lesson. A boy killed outside his tent. A father shot while searching for food.

Another story. Another victim. And the world moves on.

But these are not merely stories. Each contains an entire human life.

And these are lives that have already endured more than any child should have to bear.

For nearly three years, Gaza’s children have watched their homes disappear, their schools turn to ruins, and their families die. Still they try to learn. They sit inside tents, listen to teachers, and open their schoolbags.

What more can anyone demand of these children?

Must they stop playing? They already have.

Must they leave their schools? Their schools have been destroyed.

Must they hide inside tents? They already live in them.

Where, then, are they supposed to go?

And if even these tents cannot protect them, what will?

I fear tomorrow there will be another child, another ambulance, another family waiting outside an operating room. Again, we will tell the story, and the world will move on.

And yet my thoughts keep returning to the little girl before all of this happened.

A girl sitting among her classmates, listening to her teacher, searching in her schoolbag.

I wonder whether she ever found her pen.

It seems a foolish question when there are so many terrible things to ask. Whether she will recover. Whether she will walk without pain. Whether she will ever feel safe in a classroom again.

Yet I cannot stop thinking about it.

Because before the blood, before the ambulance, before the operating room, she was a child who wanted to write down what her teacher was saying.

She was not looking for death. She was looking for a pen.

#SurvivalTestimony

Some experiences are difficult to put into words, but they deserve to be told

In this episode of @MiddleEastEye’s The Gaza Podcast, I share parts of my own experience of displacement, starvation, and survivor’s guilt

Watch the full episode: youtu.be/2WYX4yRlexE?si…

Within the next 48 hours, if flour is not allowed into Gaza, all bakeries in the city will stop producing bread.

We are facing an enormous catastrophe. Famine is knocking on our doors once again, and this time, it could be worse than anything we have experienced before.

Please, do not remain silent! Talk about Gaza, make our voices heard around the world, and do everything you can before thousands of people lose access to something as basic as a loaf of bread.

Israeli settlers have carried out a pogrom, attacking Palestinian olive harvesters and activists in the town of Jamma’in and the town of Wadi Yasouf, in the occupied West Bank, according to our colleagues on the ground.

🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/w3d60n

Gaza’s Ministry of Health has warned that hospital generators face sudden breakdown and permanent damage due to a complete depletion of operating oils.
Hospitals require more than 2,500 litres of specialised generator oil monthly, while prolonged operation without proper ance has pushed the remaining machines to a critical state.
The ministry urged the immediate entry of oils and spare parts, warning that generator failure could cut electricity to operating theatres, intensive care units and other life-saving departments.

A victory against all-time high levels of Zionist absurdity!

Aydın, an active pro-Palestine organizer at UC San Diego, accepted a can of Pepsi at a pro-Israel event with free food and drinks.

The pro-Israel organization called the police on him and 11 officers detained him.

🇮🇱 in the last 24 hours:

-Shot at journalists in LEBANON
-Detained dozens of people protecting Palestinians in occupied WEST BANK
-Shot and killed disabled man in SYRIA
-Flew fighter jets by IRAN’s borders
-Killed at least 7 Palestinians in GAZA

The definition of a rogue state.

In the coffee corner of the shared office where I work, dark humour broke out over the looming threat of starvation in Gaza as bakeries face imminent closure.

While I waited for the water to boil for my coffee, young freelancers joked with the office assistant as they ordered hes.

“I suppose this is the last day we get sandwiches,” one young man said.

“Will you start making us lentils from now on?” another asked, invoking the dish that had been almost all we ate during the starvation.

“Will you start serving half-cups of water?” another joked, referring to the water scarcity that has worn people down over the past three years.

Dark humour has become part of daily life in Gaza where the long months of starvation have left people with memories that immediately return at the sight of the first bread queue or the news that another bakery may close.

Israel, as an occupying power, has the obligation to protect Palestinians against all acts of violence. In her article for the Journal of Palestine Studies, Mais Qandeel examines Israeli settler violence from the lens of this obligation and of the law of state responsibility. nst Palestinians, which is often lethal and always injurious, is not and has never been a matter of domestic law enforcement.
