And this amputated heart, Beats to join the unjoinable. Parallel worlds, One erasing the other. And this amputated heart, Bleeds to speak the unspeakable. Vulnerable words, Forcing space for Gaza. As life goes on. Such is a state of being, Unsettled. Stunned. Holding Gaza, Daily

New Human Rights Watch report: Israeli forces are devastating Gaza—bombing homes, hospitals & blocking aid. Civilians, incl children w disabilities, bear the brunt. Condemnation must translate into action - governments should halt arms transfers & ensure accountability. hrw.org/news/2024/09/3…

.. and if they're from South Lebanon, stay up with them tonight. Hold them if you're close. Help them take deep breaths. Tonight is going to be extremely difficult on us as we try to wrap our minds around an internationally-authorized ground invasion into our villages! Multiple

The bombs raining on Beirut now are destroying our city- They, and the tanks on our borders are also the last nail in the coffin of any belief in a humanitarian human order, international law, and global justice. It is even scarier to imagine the future now than to hear the bombs

from June Jordan’s “Apologies to All the People in Lebanon” this was written in 1982, forty-two years ago.

Writing this book was a labor of love and resistance. It came from my life in war and my years of learning how to resist with love and life a heartless enemy driven by hate and hubris. I spent the two decades after 2006 with families in their homes in frontline villages in South

CNN’s reporter in Tel Aviv just made sure to describe in vivid terms that the Iranian strikes targeted densely populated areas which unfairly places civilians lives at risk. So it’s been a choice all along to omit that context re Gaza and Lebanon.

Even as a politics lecturer in a Middle East department, I am lost. Israel has a right to self defence, but Lebanon does not? Israelis have the right to be safe, but Palestinians do not? Iran can’t launch missiles into civilian areas, but Israel can? None of this is coherent.

Our village, Ain Ebel, was bombed last night around 4 AM. As a child, I remember driving through an Israeli checkpoint every weekend just to go home. My dad would hide his mobile phone under the seat. We would have to park our car outside the village, and get into an ‘authorized

When I die, reads a child’s will. Don’t cry This saddens me. When I die, Give my clothes away To those in need. When I die, Send my accessories To those names. When I die, Donate my allowance Split it fairly. When I die, Look after my brother- Says the letter under the rubble

This is happening across the UK. Cancelling events which discuss Palestine. A year on of ongoing genocide in Palestine, continuing bombing of Lebanon, Syria and Yemen how are we not able to use university spaces to talk about world events such as these. Outrageous 😡

Dahiya is only a suburb in its name. It's an integral part of Beirut--once you read Beirut as a polycentric agglomeration extending from Jounieh to Khaldeh up to Hazmieh. The urbicide of Dahiya by Israel's killing machine enabled by Western powers, is also that of Beirut.

Apparently, food does not want to go to Gaza by its own decision, what a monster food can be.

To see a child burning alive To yearn to stop the fire To yearn to reach to pull them free To read the wretched’s screams To see the agony To see the passion endured To cry out for months, years Into a void, into the abyss Into the merciless abyss The abyss with no mercy

These are the tents at Al Aqsa Hospital in #Gaza where I worked Dec/Jan and April/May - where innocent displaced refugees have been bombed and burnt to death in the last few days by Israeli bombs. Shame on our governments for not stopping this
