when the archives filled with centuries worth of culture were bombed, when the library that people loved and cherished is obliterated, when bisan said there was no present, past, or future for them to hold onto anymore. they are trying to make Gaza a hollow word. they are trying to make it a ghost. but they can’t! because they are alive! we are alive! we are alive!

This is a picture of Montaser Al Sawaf, another Palestinian journalist killed by the IOF:
I am continually enraged by the normalization of Palestinian people’s deaths in mainstream western media, and the constant dehumanization of each of their lives. They are not just numbers -they are people who have dreams, ambitions, livelihoods, families, friends, hobbies, and interests.
The IOF is committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, is breaking dozens of international laws and UN Conventions -is committing mass genocide -but a small fraction of people in power get to determine the narrative of ‘who is the REAL victim here,’ by reinforcing IOF and American propaganda which sides with settler-colonial violence -and it is beyond abhorrent.
