I am proud to have helped Marah Hatoum @MarahHatoum write and translate this poem for @intifada. Please read and share.
A sip of water
I am scared.
A little one asks for water.
She beams, feebly.
I am thirsty.
But I am not afraid.

What about a professor of Holocaust and genocide studies?
Most of the people saying Israel is committing a genocide are low information fools following a trend, performing edgy empathy, seeking social credit. Ignore them. If you’re feeling charitable, urge them to find another hobby.

“My mother spoke to a friend of hers offering condolences on the martyrdom of her son. The mother said that her son was killed while putting water to the birds— A lad who was thirsty due to the scarcity of water was martyred while giving water to the birds.

ماما بتكلّم صديقة تعرفها تعزّيها باستشهاد ابنها، قالت أن ابنها استشهد وهو يسقي العصافير .. هذا الذي كاد أن يموت عطشا لشح المياه وبالكاد استطاع توفيرها، استشهد وهو يسقي العصافير

Also why the big noses?! Is it because Palestinians are semites?!
Before the Holocaust, Jews were portrayed as irrational and evil, with physical features that made them appear akin to cockroaches and rats. These images dehumanized Jews to justify their mass extermination.
Now, the western press is doing the same to Palestinians. Exhibit A 👇

Martyr Aya Adel Abu Shaira, 29.
She was had to evacuate to Nuseirat thinking it was a safe place. She was killed by Israel along with her husband, Ibrahim, and her daughters, Randa, 4, and Salma, 6 months old.
Aya was a mother full of life, who left her mark on others. Her friends adored her.
She wished to live longer. She had ambitions and goals. She was killed by Israel on 10/24/2023.
الشهيدة آية عادل أبو شعيرة (29 عامًا)
نزحت إلى النصيرات ظناً أنها مكان آمن.. رحلت مع زوجها إبراهيم وبناتها رندة (4 أعوام)، سلمى(6 شهور).
أم مفعمة بالحياة، تركت بصمتها لدى الآخرين.. يحبها أصحابها.. تمنت أن تعيش أكثر، عندها طموحات وأهداف.. قتلها الاحتلال.
استشهدت في 24/10/203

Israel broke the ceasefire many times.
Once in 2022 and another in March 2023 when they attacked IJ in their sleep.
Zios are idiots and deliberately ignorant

The UN cowards fled and abandoned people and their employees and schools to be killed by Israel.
The United Nations acts as an observer and sends warning messages against tampering with the remnants of the Israeli occupation bombs and missiles instead of taking responsibility and putting pressure to stop the aggression and prevent these shells from falling over the heads of Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

From Maisara’s closest friend Bahzad Al-Akhras to the cowards of @CheveningFCDO:
Maisara AlRayyes was murdered along with his family by the so called "IDF" as part of more than 30 days long GENOCIDE against Palestinians in Gaza!
The killing of maisara was supported by the stand UK government does with "Israel" right to self-defence!!
We are devastated to learn about the death of Chevening Alumnus Dr Maisara Al Rayyes and members of his family. We send our deepest condolences to his surviving family. Our thoughts, and the thoughts of the Chevening Alumni community are with you.

While we have a lot of questions regarding the roles of @UNRWA and @FAO amid this ongoing crisis in Gaza, we also have so many questions regarding the role of the @ICRC that is not taking any steps on its own, and its role in coordinating the rescue is marginal.
Complete obedience with Israeli directions, and no effort is made to transport food and water into northern Gaza or the city. @ICRC_ar @ICRC_ilot

If you watch Al-Jazeera you will see Scholars, Professors, and Investigative journalists discussing conflict resolution and in-depth analysis of root causes. Meanwhile, you switch to other Intl media outlets you will see a boomer ex-veteran telling why we need to bomb a country.
