The genocide in Gaza has ended, and I found myself without a home, without a city, and everything around me past, present, and perhaps future is destroyed. I am trying to rebuild my life, and I hope you will support me, even in a small way.

What is happening in Gaza "and Sudan can be considered a kind of contagion of extreme genocidal violence to achieve military and political goals. The party carrying out genocide in both cases authorizes the killing of civilians without the need to consider international condemnation."
“The war in Gaza has firmly established that the international legal, moral, & political order contains a double standard & was never meant to serve the needs of weaker nations & societies. Rather, the international order was founded to enable the devastation of these societies…”
A painful truth.
A painful truth.
Israel’s war on Gaza has made genocide an accepted weapon of war. We’re already seeing it in Sudan.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a ‘natural’ part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.
