OK. I was wrong. Turns out that the water pipes in Gaza have mostly been bombed+ need electricity to work (w pumps). Virtually no potable water. Netanyahu is a genocidaire.

Keep calling your representatives offices, the tone is shifting. Water is back on in southern Gaza. We have a long way to go. We can but call to push for minimized atrocities. Israel would not be doing this unless they felt empowered. This is so complicated, and yet, it is not.

someone from Gaza saying that's pointless becuase they need electricity to distribute water: twitter.com/itranslate12...
x user itranslate123 posts: "I am from Gaza and I am telling you this is a JOKE. Israel destroyed many water pipes. ALso, without electricity we can NOT turn on the water pumps. Water in Gaza does not simply run into the taps. We have to fill water tanks about twice a week." Below this, the tweet quoted says that Israel officials confirm turning on the water supply to southern Gaza.

Over the past week Israeli jets have conducted around-the-clock bombing of non-military targets in Gaza City. Apartment buildings, hospitals, and mosques were torn apart, with no prior warning and no effort to minimize civilian casualties.

It’s been one week since the horrific Hamas attacks on Israel took place, and the shape of what is to come from the Israeli armed forces is clear, and

This could be my last report from Gaza

Keep my stories alive so that you keep me alive. Remember that the world that pretended to be the savior of humanity participated in killing it.

I am ashamed at the work of Canadian journalism. We have journalists who are promoting misinformation to build the case for Israeli aggression which may wipe out entire generation of Palestinians. We have editors and executives gleefully pushing genocide of a landless people.
It’s depraved

Palestinians say Israel’s announcement of renewing water supply to southern Gaza is a ‘publicity stunt,’ as many water pipes were damaged in the Israeli shelling. Also, without electricity, water pumps to fill the tanks are not working.

We had a small vigil for Palestine tonight in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago. Just some friends and their friends. We held space for grief and demanded an end to the bombing, the siege of Gaza, and Israeli apartheid.

“I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound.” — Noor Hindi
Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying BY NOOR HINDI Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.

Another day, another media outlet, another headline, the same fucked up framing.

Only Israelis are killed, Palestinians in Gaza just die.

I’m enjoying it here. But also mindful of people, mostly marginalized, who are already getting Twitter-style abuse here.

In 2009/2010, their pain was ignored. I was there. It happened to me.

If you don’t want this place to be one Xitter?

Protect, love and advocate for those people.
