#OTD in 1917, the Albanian writer and dissident Musine Kokalari was born. One of my most rewarding research projects was about this strong, imaginative, and brave human being. We can learn a lot from her @teutas.bsky.social

NEW: A study by Yale University and other institutions has found that the Gaza war death toll is likely 41% HIGHER than Palestinian health officials reported.

It also found that over 59% of those killed were women, children and people over the age of 65.

Gaza war toll likely significantly undercounts deaths, says study
An official Palestinian tally of direct deaths in the Israel-Hamas war likely undercounted the number of casualties by 41% through the middle of 2024 as the Gaza Strip's healthcare infrastructure unravelled, according to the study.

What shatters our hearts is not just the Israeli massacres, the genocide tearing through our lives—it is the quiet, insidious ache of being made to feel invisible, unworthy, less than human. It’s the unspoken weight of knowing that, to the world, our suffering is a faint whisper, not a scream.

Happy New Year my wonderful followers and friends!

‘Good morning Gaza. Get up. Gather your one arm. The one you have left.
Good morning Palestinian flesh on the tables of ministers and presidents.
You’re a stone
of solidarity and balance
among your executioners’— Mahmoud Darwish

No words. For all the devastation Gaza has faced, North Gaza is a completely other level.

I've always been hesitant to ever compare things directly to the Holocaust, but everything I'm hearing reminds me of the stories my family had passed down as well as what Jews have learned about our past.

Truly astounding book. I don’t think I have read anything close to the beauty of the boy’s description of rain drops and water in a novel. I guess my reading it proves death sells tho I had read Palace of Dreams.

At Al-Shifa hospital Gaza:

We currently have around 600 inpatients who need medical care.

We have around 37 to 40 premature babies.

We have around 17 other patients in the ICU.

We have around 600 postoperative admitted patients which need medical care.

We need a ceasefire.

‘The war will end
The leaders will shake hands
The old woman will keep waiting for her martyred son
That girl will wait for her beloved husband
And those children will wait for their hero father
I don’t know who sold our homeland
But I saw who paid the price.’

It’s John Berger’s birthday today. I miss him more than ever in this realm.
As Gaza is being obliterated with seismic bombs tonight,
I’m reading his essay ‘Undefeated Despair’.

I haven’t felt this helpless and heartbroken since the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo.
