Another day reporting from the war

Each day I attempt to contact my extended family to make sure they are still alive. No family got the chance to evacuate and shelter together, and we aren't able to mourn our dead together either. The war strips us of everything that makes us human.

The Biden administration has given a full green light to Israel's war crimes

The Biden administration could restrain Israel from carrying out possibly genocidal plans in Gaza. Instead, it is egging them on.

On Western media and the erasure of Palestine

The Palestinian struggle brings to the forefront the colonial relations that underpin today’s world, and that the West, and its media, work tirelessly to hide.
