Children in Gaza can tell an F-16 from an F-35 from a drone. They know a whole litany of things that are beyond their years. Things that they shouldnât have to know. Over 10,000 children have been killed in Gaza. The children who have survived have seen their families, friends and neighbors killed by the Israeli army. They have seen near-death by starvation and death by suffocation, under the rubble and by explosion. Children in Gaza do not have the luxury of death being a mystery. It is a daily presence. If a child in Gaza is hungry, they know not to throw a tantrum. They have become used to feeling hunger. The same is true of the cold. Every child in Gaza now knows what it is to be unhoused, to sleep in a tent or on the streets in winter.
Palestinians are no longer asking us to help stop the bombing.
They are asking ( I would normally say begging, but proud as they are, Allah save them. After 106 days, they never begged for anything) for food.
They fear dying out of hunger more than being shredded to pieces by bombs
The messages they send.... How can I tell it's worse.. I can't put it into words, but it's worse
Literally finna get a shot rn. Iâm so scared đđđđđ

âWell, Israel arenât committing war crimes.â
The IDF literally tell you on social media what they are doing. They just donât think Palestinians are human.
To quote from the film Jenniferâs body: âI donât have a confession, I have a declaration.â
Did you see the video where Israeli soldiers dressed up like Muslim women and doctors and stormed the hospital in the West Bank and assassinated 3 young Palestinians?âŁ
âŁ
Did you see the bloody pillow with the bullet hole in it?âŁ
âŁ
THIS IS WHO THEY MURDERED IN THAT BED. A paralyzed CHILD named Bassel. âŁ
âŁ
This video was taken just one day before Israel literally shot him in the face in his bed. âŁ
âŁ
Just when you think they canât get any lower, they do. I donât care what lies they tell about this child, it is illegal EVERYWHERE to do what they did. âŁ
âŁ
This kid had nothing to do with October 7th. And anything else he did, you simply arenât allowed to go into a hospital and murder a paralyzed child. âŁ
âŁ
Itâs CRAZY that we even have to say this. âŁ
âŁ
And the White House actually defended this today, but it was before this video was released. âŁ
some progress, I guess, but itâs not enough.
the airdrop on March 2, 2024, came two days after 100+ Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire on desperate, starving civilians in what was dubbed the âflour massacre.â
this is part of an US attempt to aid Palestinians as Gaza faces starvation. three US air force cargo planes dropped 38,000 meals â no water or medical supplies â in southwest Gaza. but cargo planes canât carry as much as aid convoy trucks. and weâve seen the tragedy that happened.
aid groups have criticized this plan, and they are absolutely right. theyâve said the focus should be forcing Israel to open up more ports and entryways into Gaza instead of airdropping because trucks can carry way more supplies, like Iâve mentioned.
there are also several drawbacks to airdropping supplies: itâs inefficient, expensive, and doesnât provide enough aid. there are 1.5+ million refugees in Rafah. 38,000 meals can only provide for ~0.253% of the refugees. itâs not even 1%.
but the Gazans need everything they can get right now. airdrops, however inefficient they are, are essential for Gazans to survive.
support a ceasefire now.

I swear to god if I see one more person talking about âcondemning Hamas.â Tell me, what is the point of me personally condemning Hamas? My countryâs government already has condemned Hamas. Along with many other countries, the US has designated them as a terrorist organization and leveled sanctions against them. Protests against the genocide in Gaza are being labeled as âpro-Hamasâ and therefore âpro-terrorismâ and being shut down. The US is in fact arming Israel and supporting the leveling of Gaza. Even if I did personally condemn them, why would I be in the streets demanding that everyone in power just keep doing what theyâre already fucking doing? Get a goddamned grip. Stop treating this like an issue of individual morals and take a look at the material reality. Everything Hamas has done has been for the purpose of ending an oppressive colonial occupation perpetrating ethnic cleansing and genocidal massacres for 75 fucking years. They took 250 people captive because Israel had already been arresting thousands of Palestinians, including children, and holding them captive and abusing them for years without charge or trial. Peaceful protest has failed to change anything because no one in power in the rest of the world has shown any real solidarity with Palestine. No one answered their calls to action. Not even calls to nonviolent actions, like sanctions or ceasing to arm Israel. The blood of both Palestinian and Israeli civilians is on Israelâs hands, and also on ours. If you donât like seeing violent resistance, then fucking do something about the violence that theyâre resisting against. Stop moralizing and get organized.
*actually, also, for the record, Hamas is not the only resistance group in this fight. âCondemning Hamasâ really means âcondemning the entire Palestinian resistance movement.â I fucking will not. Down with the occupation.
