“It’s Bisan from Gaza, and I’m still alive.” It’s been one year since Israel’s attacks began decimating Gaza, and changed Bisan Owda’s life forever. Here’s a look at her journey over the last 12 months.

Alhamdulillah a dream/dua answered in seeing the Aurora Borealis for the first time, looking out from my garden instead of the Arctic Circle. Wondrous dancing pink and fainter luminous green, ethereal, stars twinkling in the clear night. In awe. #northernlights

And how many souls from Jabalia are moving into their new abode of Jannah. To Allah we complain of the cruelty of the oppressors, the betrayal of our “brothers”, and our own weakness and incapacity.

In Northern Gaza, Israel has besieged Jabalia refugee camp, cut off access to food and water, and is now systematically exterminating people. This is one of the most horrifying episodes of an already horrifying genocide, met with disgusting silence from the West.

His name was Shaaban. He was loved by his family and friends, a memorizer of the Quran. He’s named after the month that in the Islamic tradition is referred to as the forgotten month. Let him never be forgotten.

Farah was the sister of Shaaban who we saw burn alive. She too was in that fire, and I pray that she’s now in that paradise with her brother. How close does this pain hit home? Her aunt and 7 year old cousin missing a leg were with us last night looking for just one night of

Israel assassinated farmer Yousef Abu Rabee and his two colleagues today as they were delivering seedlings to his neighbors in the North. He was a true hero, resisting genocide in impossible circumstances. Farewell, my friend. To God we belong and to Him we Return.

I got myself this as my bday gift earlier this month bc the proceeds were donated. i just saw it when i checked the mail. i am just extra sad now.

When I evacuated my second shelter in Rafah in April, I left some belongings behind—partly because we couldn’t carry much, and partly to leave something for the three families who remained in the shelter. One of those items was a mug I had bought in my first shelter in Zawaida.

Hello—this is the cover of my new book, Is A River Alive?, which is published next May. It’s taken me 3 1/2 years to write this book. I’ve poured all I have into it. My notebooks were always thirsty; I filled over 20 of them while on fieldwork. It’s become the most political,

Hello: this is 'Riversong', a "broadside ballad" which protests the slow death of rivers in the UK & around the world––& sings for their revival. 'Riversong' is free to print, share, set & sing, speak aloud on a riverbank, post on walls or windows, adapt, translate, perform,

BREAKING: Today, more than 1000 authors are launching a mass boycott of Israeli publishers who are complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people. This declaration amounts to the largest cultural boycott of Israeli institutions in history. lithub.com/hundreds-of-au…

It is not enough to simply see or enjoy beauty & grace in this world. We must nurture & tend & protect it. Beauty cannot just be held in the heart & spirit but must be fiercely protected.

O Allah. Allow us to see the truth as truth, and enable us to follow it. Allow us to see falsehood as falsehood, and protect us from falling into it. Guide us through the uncertainty of our circumstances with our certainty in You. Put wisdom and discernment in our planning,

While people are watching the U.S. elections, we in North Gaza can hear heavy shelling and U.S.-sponsored bombs being dropped on us. Remember, whoever wins, they are all war criminals.

Gone is a genocidal president too hypocritical to admit it. And in comes a genocidal president who wears it as a badge of honor.

"I don’t quite see that there is a difference between what Democrats allow and what Trump brags about," says fatima bhutto 🇵🇸🇱🇧 about the similarities between Trump and Harris as candidates. “It’s just a question of crudeness and decorum and politeness.”

If you no longer see reports about Israeli massacres in northern Gaza, it’s not because they have stopped, but because the Israeli occupation has killed most of the journalists there for this exact reason: to keep you from knowing about them. Massacres are being committed 24/7
