Ibraheem from Gaza wrote on FB, "One day before Eid, Hamas members were handing out green papers—US dollars—to their loyalists. Before that, it was flour, back when people couldn't find a single bite to eat. Since they took over Gaza, we haven’t seen a single good day.

Shocked by news about the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington last night.
This isn’t “pro-Palestinian”—it’s pro-terrorism. It’s murder, plain and simple: immoral, inhumane, and indefensible.

13,000 CHILDREN IN GAZA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
Over 13,000 children have been left with irreversible injuries, many losing limbs they’ll never get back. These are not just statistics; these are the lives of Gaza's youngest — lives torn apart by a war they never asked for. (1/2)

Just watched a video of a baby in Gaza dying—because there was no baby formula. No food. Nothing.
Not from poverty. Not from chaos. But from a state-engineered starvation policy.
An infant starved to death in 2025 because someone decided aid trucks should be blocked.

When Hamza Howidy came forward to speak about the brutality of Hamas, he received death threats. He was hounded by the “pro Palestinian” movement that consistently ignores the brutality of Hamas toward their own people.
