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.

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)

One of the most beautiful things I liked in Gaza was the Ramadan atmosphere: walking into the old city, in Omar-AlMokhtar Street, the old market, the glow of lanterns, the voices of merchants calling out their offers, and the spirit of togetherness made Ramadan in Gaza truly special. (1/3)

A few days ago, six children in Gaza died because of the cold weather, and hypothermia because they were living in tents with literally no means to keep warm. I'm puzzled by how Hamas can organize parades, banners, and showcase military gear during the release of Israeli hostages, (1/3)

How cruel can you be, opening your weapon and firing 17 shots at a father and son because you believe they are Palestinians? Mordechai Brafman, a pro-Israel fanatic, did this near Miami Beach on Saturday night. When the police questioned him, he smirked and said, "I killed two Palestinians." (1/2)

What the f*ck is going on with Students for Justice in Palestine at Ohio University? Why are they protesting in front of a Jewish student center on Holocaust Remembrance Day? Why protest while there is a truce in Gaza? Is this even about Gaza?
