This is Abdulrahman (3 months), the son of Shayma & grandson of Dr. Rifaat Refaat in Gaza 🇵🇸.

He was granted a birth certificate as well as a death certificate during the genocide, in less than 3 months.

He was born at home without any medical supervision, under fire & curfew.

I imagine Refaat writing “If I Must Die” to his daughter Shimaa, who was murdered today.

You must live
to tell my story.

We all must be Shimaa, a Shimaa that will never be killed or silenced!!

Breaking, breaking:

Just now, the Israeli army kidnaps my brother’s wife and her 3-year old son and one-month-old son at the checkpoint while they were trying to cross from the north to the south to leave Gaza with my mother and my ill sister.

No, no, no, no.
Refaat’s daughter, Shimaa and her new baby and the husband got killed in an airstrike today.
Just a few days ago, I mentioned that Refaat became a grandfather.
💔💔💔💔💔

ISRAEL BURIED CHILDREN ALIVE IN GAZA

I've avoided talking about the genocide in Palestine, not because I am not deeply horrified, but more so because I've been deep in my own struggle of my mental health. My struggles could never compare to the devastation happening there. I'm wounded yet here in solidarity. ✊🏾✊🏾🇵🇸

WATCH: Among those arrested today were Noelle McAfee, Chair of the Philosophy Department at Emory University.

I’ve asked for a comment from Emory on this arrest, no word yet.

In solidarity with Palestine. 🕊️🇵🇸

In solidarity with you, Sarah Jama, and all the students and youth speaking truth to power. 🔥✊

And this proud, steadfast baba was at the protest with his baba. Beautiful intergenerational support for Palestine.

What’s remarkable abt this father is his understanding of the danger his kid is in & his continued support of her. This isn’t typical in immigrant families who’ve, for many reasons, sought safety above all & thus alliance w the structures of safety proximity to whiteness affords.

Been waiting for this. Now, #MedTwitter , esp those academic faculty affiliated w universities, what are you willing to do to stand w your students like so many faculty from other disciplines have done? We, who teach students to be healers, cannot be the ones sitting this out.
