My friend Susan Abulhawa - Palestinian author and changemaker - recently returned from Gaza. She spent two weeks there; delivering aid for animals and people, running workshops to support Palestinian people under siege to tell their own stories; and checking in on friends and family.
She didn't want to leave - Israel cancelled Humanitarian visas. Until she can enter again, Susan has been publishing her accounts of this brief time in Gaza. These pieces are haunting and honest. The devastation and state violence is much worse than what we've seen online.
I'll post her articles in this thread as they're published. And the videos she's produced. And urge everyone to read/watch.
@KarenWyld@palestine She's an incredible woman. She even brought animal food with her each time for Sulala Rescue (the only official #animal#rescue in #Gaza). I will absolutely send a donation.
I'm sure Naomi Klein's speech at the Columbia University protests, on the day of the Jewish Passover, Seder, has been posted and shared by many already here, but I wanted to do so myself. She speaks with such power, clarity, and moral authority. Amazing person
Guerre à Gaza : 60 % des écoles, hôpitaux et mosquées sont détruits ou endommagés
Quatre-vingt-huit mille bâtiments endommagés, parmi lesquels 30 000 sont complètement détruits dans la bande de Gaza. C’est ce que révèle l’analyse d’images satellitaires faite par une agence de l’ONU, vérifiée et complétée par « Le Monde ».
Oh boy. So Biden is bombing the Huthis and randomly civilians in #Syria and now Putin is bombing ISIS in Syria and attacking Israel? Sounds like a recipe for a proxy WWIII.
@LALegault An observation point is an observation point. It's a strategic area but it doesn't mean they're attacking 'israel'. I wish, as the Golan is absolutely Syrian territory, but it'd be a very costly endeavor...
@LALegault Could it be a third front à la Hezbollah in northern israel? Not impossible, but truly unlikely. Russia has been letting israel do almost all it wants in Syria since their military involvement in the war began a decade ago.
