Only 8 hostages have been released by the Israelis; 33 have been killed in their airstrikes, 148 have been released through negotiations. This is not about the hostages, it is about the annihilation of the Palestinians. When will the penny finally drop? theguardian.com/world/2025/may…

Genocidal

RIGHT NOW: Hundreds of people, Jews and Palestinians, are marching towards the Gaza border calling to stop the Israeli government’s horrific plans of occupation, settlement, killing, and population transfer in Gaza. We’re here because we refuse this catastrophe.

If governments now dare whisper “sanctions”, it’s because pressure—from people devastated by 20 months of uncensored genocide—works. But much remains pretense: sanction with one hand, arm & trade with the other. People must not stop now. Keep pressing.

She never ‘lost’ them. They were killed deliberately by Israel. Burnt beyond recognition.

The Israeli army took the life of 14-year-old Salma Al-Nabulsi in an airstrike on central Gaza. She wasn’t holding a weapon—only dreams, like any child her age. Her name joins a growing list of children erased before the world’s eyes. Speak her name. Remember Salma.
