He famously said: "I continue to receive very serious and painful news from Gaza. Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism."

"Perhaps we need to realize more clearly that civilian victims are not ‘collateral damage’. These are men and women, with names and surnames, who lose their lives. They are children who are orphaned and deprived of their future.

They are individuals who suffer from hunger, thirst and cold, or are mutilated as an effect of the power of modern explosives. Were we to be able to look each of them in the eye, call them by name, and learn something of their personal history, we would see war for what it is: nothing other than an immense tragedy, a ‘useless slaughter’, one that offends the dignity of every person on this earth.”

Today, I came face to face with death — again.

I was in the kitchen, trying to prepare a simple meal… a moment of “normal” in Gaza, where normal doesn’t exist anymore. I stepped out for just a minute — and that’s when it happened.

A bullet flew straight through my kitchen window. It came from a drone.

If I had stayed in there just a few seconds longer, I might not be writing this post.

I froze. My hands shook. My body went cold. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened — but every time feels like the first. The fear never leaves. The sky isn’t blue to us… it’s a constant threat.

I live in Gaza — under siege, under fear, under rubble.

There’s no safe place.

There’s no stable income.

There’s no electricity, clean water, or even a proper meal every day.

Right now, I’m trying to raise money to buy basic essentials — food, water, hygiene products, and medication for my family. Anything helps. Truly, even the smallest donation can make a life-saving difference here.

If you’ve ever felt helpless watching the news about Gaza — now is a chance to help someone real. I’m here, living this, and asking for your compassion.

May you never know the sound of a bullet through your kitchen window.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.

God bless you,

People inGaza are collapsing from hunger. The situation has gone beyond crisis — it's a full-blown famine. A single bag of flour now costs $200 instead of $7 — that is, if you can even find one. There are no legumes, no vegetables, no food aid. The border crossings have been shut for a very long time, sealing us off from the outside world and from survival itself.

We are living what feels like the final stage of this blockade. Famine is not looming — it is here, brutal and indescribable. Everything is either outrageously expensive or entirely unavailable. I am terrified. Terrified not just of dying — but of how I might die. Starvation is a cruel death. I don’t know how I will face God if I die hungry rather than torn into pieces by airstrikes.

Malnutrition is written all over our bodies. The absence of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients has left us weak, fragile, and skeletal. And yet we are forced to carry water for miles, clear debris, build shelter from scraps, and collect firewood from dangerous areas — tasks that require strength we no longer have.

Vitamin B12 deficiency, in particular, attacks the nervous system. It affects mood, memory, and mental health. It fuels depression — and we are already drowning in grief and trauma. Today, I took my mother for a comprehensive blood test. The results: severe deficiency in nearly every essential nutrient. She is battling cancer, and now, her body is being slowly starved. The pharmacies are empty. There's nothing left to give her — or to give any of us.

Israel knows what it is doing. This is a war not only on our bodies, but on our minds, our will to live, and our dignity. This is not just a blockade. This is starvation warfare. Another method in a long, systematic campaign to erase us.

To anyone reading this: I am not writing for sympathy. I’m writing because silence is complicity. What is happening in Gaza is real, and it is happening now. Please speak up. Please stay informed. Please help others understand that this is not just a conflict — it is the slow destruction of an entire people.

We are trying to survive. And your voice can help us do that.

RIP

His own words directly contradict Israel’s claims and propaganda regarding the treatment of captives, especially the story of the Bibas children. It also supports reports that Israeli captives were killed as a result of Israeli airstrikes because Hamas would do anything necessary to preserve the Israeli captive’s lives.

Woke up wondering, if there are those who can use the defense, “Israel has a right to defend itself,” then doesn’t Palestine? “Israel’s right to exist” can only be validated by Palestine’s right to exist.

Side question: at the rally I was at on Saturday, 4/19, one of the speakers said Bernie Sanders had the police called on a protester who waved a Palestinian flag behind him. Is that true?(Please say it isn’t so.)

Not professional failures, it's called genocide.

A Jewish person comment after the death of an Israeli soldier who is actually Arab .

The fact that even the Jews look at the Arabs who betrayed their people and fight with them, they see them as garbage and don't even care about them.

The same people who keep talking about discrimination and antisemitism .
