Don't miss my play, The Shroud Maker, returning to London next week for 4 days only www.pleasance.co.uk/event/shroud... This is Gaza over the decades, this survival, humour, this is Palestinian wrapped in a woman's story

Netanyahu is in the US now. As usual expect more US bombs and Gaza to suffer more

We, Palestinian artists and cultural workers, have a responsibility that we don't let our revolution becomes a spectacle, reduced just to stage presence. We need to lead the change, and remind all that one person's cry for help in Palestine is more important than any performance, or anything we do

My wish for Sunday: Spain wins the world cup, Lamine Yamal dresses up in a Palestinian flag while Trump hands him the Trophy. This final will feel like principles and dignity against sell outs and corruption, more precisely this match will be Palestine vs Israel

You would be pleased to know that preparations for the world's finest concentration camp in Rafah, South of Gaza, are well underway. It's called Rafah Humanitarian City. You will witness it being built and even praise it as your politician brag about their contributions.

I genuinely feel that if people in Europe are given flexibility during a heatwave, working from home, schools cancelled...etc. We, people of colour, should have flexibility during deep dark winter. Don't expect me to show up to work in January please

I feel for anyone suffering the heat in the UK and Europe, I too have a family in Gaza that has endured the sweltering heat of summer in a plastic tent, courtesy of the Israeli genocide supported by Europe

Gaza is has been like this since the 2nd Intifada in 2000 in fact since 1967: big Israeli aggression, covered on the news, people demonstrate, everyone forgets and people continue to suffer. Until the next bang, bigger & worse the before. I can't breathe thinking of what Israel is planning for Gaza

Israel is threatening to invaded and destroy Beirut and the world is silent. They threatened Gaza before and the world was silent, they did it and the world was silent. They will try to do the same to Beirut now because no one can stop their barbarity. It's Western civilisation on a plate for you.

For me, every Israeli strike on Lebanon, feels like it is on Jabalia, Khan Younis or Rafah. I am in pain for my people's pain, I cry for their tears, in Beirut or Gaza. When is this all going to stop?

Ahmed Masoud @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social · 06/04/2026
South of Lebanon is like Gaza - no one cares about them and it 's all because Israel is involved in interested in both. Israel has now made around 1 million people homeless from South of the Litani River. No Western media is following those innocent people, where are they now, where do they live?

Out of all the demonstrations against Israeli decision to execute Palestinian prisoners and the closure of Al Aqsa mosque, it was the Syrians who stood out. You could see it was the expression of one people, one struggle, on desire for freedom. Like them, we will be free soon.

They uncorked the bottle celebrating the approval of the death penalty for Palestinians behind their bars. They reserve death for Palestinians only - Israel's apartheid has no limit. Their hate is a monster growing every day, it will eat them one day.

For over two years, I have been worried sick about my family in Gaza. Now I am worried about them and all my friends in the region. Fuck you Israel and US for being such war mongers.

Their wars are always "pre-emptive" and we are always the threat. They drop bombs and kill thousands yet we are the problem. Same story, same Western terrorism and imperialism. #StopbombingIran

The BBC Kept the N-Word during the BAFTA awards but edited out the phrase "free Palestine" from Akinola Davies Jr’s speech. We should be angry about both equally. This is a deliberate racist policy that is happy to offend those they consider less important in society than white Zionist supporters.

Ahmed Masoud @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social · 13/02/2026
Pleased to see the judicial review ruling prescribing of Palestine Action as unlawful. But people in the UK, for us in Gaza, this changes nothing. The genocide is still ongoing. Not a single policy has changed in the UK, and no supporters of genocide sued. Can we put the same effort on this, please?

If you see a Palestinian today, give them a hug. You have no idea how the emotions inside us are tumbling around and around, heart feels like it's about to explode into a thousand pieces.

They are talking of a ceasefire that is almost two years too late. It could've happened from day one if the world and sensible people acted. Instead, we have over 65K people killed in Gaza, which has been reduced to rubble. Still, we accept to save our existance which is the main offence to some

The sumud flotilla activists are being kidnapped right now, not intercepted. They're being taken as hostages by a terrorist organisation. We should all demand the release of hostages from Israel

Ahmed Masoud @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
a Trump-Netanyahu plan that no Palestinian was invited to discuss. Still, we have to accept it because everyone has let us down & they've made mockery of international law. They say: accept it or tolerate more genocide. It's sugar-coating his "Rivera" plans. You should be upset more than us.

Netanyahu has asked his murderous army to broadcast his UN speech today all over Gaza using speakers carried on trucks. The psycho knows no limit for torture. One day this will be taught in history books about the damaged white supremacy narcissism

The neocolonialists have no shame of their colonalism anymore, they don't even try to hide it. I don't know if he will last in Gaza, he won't be able to cope with our spicy food and there are no baked beans there

I would like this to go on the record now please. In a few years/decades when this is all over don't accuse Palestinians of leaving their homes in Gaza. Or there was a "war" and Israel won. This is a genocide and ethnic cleansing, just like what happened in 1948. Remember my words and teach them on

I can't begin to describe to you the suffering my family in Gaza is going through right now and I am a writer. Words fail me completely, there's no description. I just gasp and hope that you don't forget my words. Keep thinking of this post even when you forget us.

A simple way of countering the far right protests in London yesterday is to make the next palestine protest even bigger. A million or two on the street. Don't just be frustrated about racism in the UK and stay home, doing nothing. This is how fascism starts.

I don't think people realise what is happening right now in Gaza, despite our constant talking, shouting, sharing, speaking, writing, crying. Let's try again, there's a Genocide taking place right now and you are all seeing it. Israel is now invading Gaza City, 1.2 million being killed and starved

Israel continues to deliberately kills journalists, today they bombed the house of journalist Islam Abed and killed her with her family there. Israel wants to kill the truth

Rafah was a red line before, they kept discussing it on the news to allow Israel to continue to bomb and kill more. They give them the media cover they need. They are doing the same with Gaza City now. Last night, residents described the situation as if 10 earthquakes had hit the City.

Do you know what it feels like to have your family starving? Well, I actually wish you never know. It's that crushing feeling that makes everything in life tasteless. It sucks the joy out of you in everything you do, even having a sip of water comes with a feeling of powerlessness. Fuck you Israel.

BBC has just read out the statement of the Israeli army from last year, when they killed Ismael El Ghoul because the murderous Israeli forces refused to comment on th Killing of Anas El Sharif and his colleagues. This is why Israel gets away with genocide.

Headline: "Germany halts exports to Israel of arms that could be used in Gaza" Me: what about the ones used in the West Bank, Lebanon, Yemen and Iran? How are you going to ensure Israel isn't going to alternate weapons and locations? And why the fuck have you waited so long!!

The BBC and Western media are debating the Israeli intention of "occuyping Gaza", the same way they debated the bombing of Al Ahli hospital in Dec 23 which killed 500 people, the same way they debated the destruction of El Shifa Hospital. This debate is a cover for genocide. BBC knows this
0124
Ahmed Masoud @ahmedmasoud02.bsky.social · 05/08/2025
This idea that Trump gave the green light for Israel to occupy Gaza is a cover for more killing. Israel has been fully occupying Gaza since 1967, controlling everything in it, airspace, borders, food, water, ID cards, everything. This is a green light to kill more. They want us all dead

Try this, whenever you order something and you need to add your name. Just say, Free Palestine. And just wait to be called out. It was satisfying to hear this morning at Blacksheep Coffee

Keep doing whatever you are doing, the pressure is mounting and it will work. Don't take your foot off the paddle. Keep talking, keep sharing, keep shouting, continue to be angry. We will prevail together and Palestine will be free forever

One of my favourite books of all times is Alone in Berlin. Apart from brilliant writing, it is about resistance. It shows how one small voice can disturb an entire institution, government, media & propaganda. This is why we should all resist the Israeli genocide by all means we have, including this

All reports say that people in Gaza have 1 or 2 weeks before they enter the final stage of irreversible starvation. Here is my brother Tareq in his tent in Gaza City now. Look how much weight he lost. He hasn't eaten for days now. This is a war crime and the world should be responsible. Fuck Israel.

انا لله وإنا إليه راجعون My cousin Kholoud was killed in her tent in Gaza City this morning. An Israeli attack on civilians tents killer her, her kids and her nephews who were staying with her. They went to bed starving last night and didn't wake up. This Israeli barbarity is beyond comprehension
