RIP Sean, what a wonderful man and friend you were. I knew him well when I was doing my PhD on Irish and Palestinian literature. Like me, he was proud of his identity and cultural tradition. We talked a lot about Mahmoud Darwish and Seamus Heaney

And within all of this, just remind yourself how wonderful peace is. And I really believe there's a real opportunity for a long lasting one.

Khan Younis

I'm so worried about my sister Aida and her kids in Nusairat now

Just spoke to my mum after 4 months, since she left Jabalia to Khan Younis. I am the happiest and saddest person at the same time. I want to hide somewhere and just cry. How can this be allowed? A woman of her age, so tired and ill, in a tent somewhere with hardly any support?

The same countries that said ‘never again’ after Rwanda have given Israel a free pass during six months of death and destruction

Eid Mubarak to you all. This eid is weird for me after Israel killed my brother Khalid. Wer were four brothers now we are three. الله يرحمك يا خوي

today marks the 76th anniversary of the Deir Yassin Massacre when Israeli gangs murdered 107 Palestinian villagers in Deir Yassin on 09 April 1948 aljazeera.com/news/2023/4/9/…

My 3 year old niece Fatma in a tent in Rafah. So happy to see her smile after she got ill for 3 weeks with no access to medical facilities. I think of her every day and all children in Palestine whose childhood has been stolen from them by genocidal Israeli soldiers

Germany is facing the ICJ for complicity with Israeli genocide in Gaza and no one is reporting it apart from Aljazeera. The news is no where to be seen on the BBC

Come on Liverpool.
I bought this top in Gaza last year.

Israel destroyed one of my favourite places in Gaza. The 13th century Qasr El Basha, built by the Mamluks en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qasr_al-B…

They're trying to erase our history and existence.

Let it be a tale
#FreePalestine

and in every war on Gaza, someone comes in the middle of darkness, sends you a message, gives you a hug and smiles and for a split second you think everything is alright. And for days after you hold on to that moment.

Israeli apartheid in Jerusalem on the last Friday of Ramadan. It's a holy day for many and Israel makes it hard to get to Al Aqsa mosque. I am from Gaza and have never been allowed in the West Bank even with a British passport

Those who justify and give cover to the Israeli genocide in Gaza are as bad as those who are committing it.

Israel kills white people in Gaza and the genocide is back as a main headline on the BBC website. I am of course sad for their death, a long with the over 40,000 innocent Palestinians including my brother

yesterday Israel killed 7 aid workers from World Central Kitchen, left El Shifa hospital - the largest medical compound in Gaza, in ruins and attacked the Iranian embassy in Damascus. And the world is still concerned!!!

Israel withdrew from El Shifa Hospital in Gaza earlier this morning. I urge u to look at what they left behind, 400 bodies, some run over by tanks, some buried alive in body bags, burned buildings & executing children under 13s. Read more, share,don't let this barbarity be normal

- Literary magazine: We would like to publish your poems on Gaza
- Me: Yes sure, thank you
- LM: But they will be alongside Israeli poets
- Me: No thank you, I would rather my voice is heard on its own
- LM: OK we won't publish yours

Really? Even during genocide?
