As Israel destroys Gaza homes and buildings, my daughters, Linah, 8, and Amal, 6, are spending their time building homes and "high rise" buildings. Israel destroys. Palestine builds. (excuse the mess) #Gazaunderattack #FreePalestine

Is Israel just indiscriminately bombing you or, I don’t know, are they targeting missile launch centers that your terrorist leaders have hidden amongst the civilian population?

I'd love to read your poem but I hate to subscribe to that Zionist mouthpiece. Any other way to get access to it? In #SolidarityWithPalestinians

Thank you for sharing your story. I hope a lot of people read it. But I have zero faith in the New York times.

The New York Times is a sure-fire mouthpiece for Israel - with an opinion piece by a Palestinian once in a blue moon to pretend they care about objectivity. Ha!
