“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

reminder
YOU ARE FREE TO LOVE

Maybe we don’t think about this often but we all exist and operate within a framework of knowledge of shared experience. We look around and we see, in whatever way, a bunch of other people and some of the people are close to us and some are far and some of the people look like us and some don’t. And sometimes you’re going to be accepted into a group and sometimes not. But the point is, we can all see each other. We can all see ourselves, ourselves in others. And whether you’re told or taught in your specific default groups that it’s okay to see people in other groups and care about them, feel for them the same as you would if someone had told you they were members of your group, the simple fact is, we are able to care about people without permission. Nobody has to say it’s okay to love like that; to see someone’s child and think: I can unconditionally love that child. To empathize as deeply for someone in a tent in Gaza as you might for someone in your house. So when someone tells me they only have capacity to love and care for their own, I reject this. You are hiding from yourself if you say this. You are refusing to feel. Maybe you’ve never tried, or it makes you afraid. But you can melt this cold from yourself

you know the scene in star wars where obi-wan says "i felt a great disturbance in the force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced"? can't you feel it tonight? how dead the killers are? how alive the children? you feel it, or you can

i think if any of us who are invested in what's going on could, we'd wave a magic wand and save everyone, restore all their lives and loved ones - but all we can do is witness, and not look away, not ignore, or donate our reach, or give money. it feels hard but we can't quit on them, we just can't

That should be very, very clear to everyone, that knows the reality in Gaza. I don't share this numbers of deaths from Gaza. The real numbers are at least 3 times as high, than what keep selling us. #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide #Holocaust2024 www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2pf...

Danger to fate of Dr. Hussam Abu Saffiyah multiplies after occupation denies arrest

2/1/2025

Palestinian Prisoners' Society (PPS), Ramallah: The dangers and risks to the fate of Dr. Hussam Abu Saffiyah are only multiplying with time, and particularly after the occupation army denied there being a record of his arrest. 

Despite the existence of clear evidence, including videos and testimonies, of Dr. Abu Saffiyah’s arrest on December 27, 2024, the occupation is denying that the doctor is in their custody. 

On January 2, Physicians for Human Rights submitted a request for a lawyer's visit to Dr.  Abu Saffiyah on behalf of his family. The occupation army responded, claiming that “a review found no indication of the arrest of the individual.” Physicians for Human Rights in turn submitted an urgent petition for information about the doctor. 
Three detained doctors from Gaza have been killed by the occupation army since the genocide began in October 2023: Iyad al-Rantisi, Adnan al-Bursh, and Ziad al-Dalu.

Dr. Abu Saffiyah is one of thousands of cases of detainees who were residing in Gaza and were subject to enforced disappearance. He is also one of at least 320 medical personnel who have been arrested by the occupation. The arrests of doctors and the destruction of hospitals are one of the key aspects of the genocide. 

In this context, the PPS holds the occupation fully responsible for the fate of Dr. Abu Saffiyah. The international human rights system must save what remains of its claimed purpose in the face of genocide. Despite the recent decisions by the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court, which served as a glimmer of hope, the genocide continues unabated, with crimes of torture against prisoners being one of its main features.

At least 17 people have been reported killed in Israeli attacks since dawn across the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian news organisations. Gaza’s Government Media Office said Israel carried out “horrific crimes” over the previous 24 hours with 34 air strikes that killed 71 civilians.
