Three years of Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. Three years of unprecedented BDS impact. For Palestine and for humanity: join the BDS movement.

Her name was Aya, she was seven years old and her favorite color was pink. She loved wearing flowery dresses and whenever she wanted to swim, her mom would take her and her little 4-year-old brother to the beach. His name was Abdallah. today.lorientlejour.com/article/1427...

October 7: Through a Gazan Mother's Eyes
A lot of friends ask me about my reaction to October 7, the day Hamas fighters crossed into what the world calls Israel, and what we know as occupied land.

"Nothing hurts quite like the memories of Gaza. Since this morning, I’ve felt as though my heart itself is under bombardment. I’m leaving the internet until the end of the week. I need some silence—some distance from everything that keeps taking me back there!" - Palestinian journalist on trauma

The Zionists thought you would have moved on by now and abandoned the Palestinians in Gaza. They thought you would have genocide exhaustion and the weight would just be too heavy. They never anticipated that you would be even more committed to Palestinian human rights. Keep proving them wrong!

Dr. Mahmoud Abu Nujaila, wrote these words on October 20, 2023, in Gaza. He was a 38-year-old physician and father of three who had been working around the clock caring for injured patients, including many children orphaned by Israel. He was killed by a strike on his hospital a month later.

Israelis have been torturing Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who they took hostage after threatening to massacre his patients, for nearly two years now. His crime was documenting the genocide that Israelis were gleefully committing and trying to save Palestinian lives.
The last image of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya before he was taken hostage by Israeli genocide forces who forced him to surrender to them by continuously attacking his hospital & killing his patients. 
He is pictured walking up a hill through the rubble of Gaza to a waiting Israeli tank. 
Israelis have been holding him in a concentration camp for over 500 days & torturing him to death.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez was shot by ICE 10 days ago. The bullet is still lodged in his back. He’s been forced to sleep on the floor and hasn’t been given medication, according to his attorney. Now DHS is claiming he assaulted an agent. Can we trust anything DHS says given its track record?
