Ibraheem from Gaza wrote on FB, "One day before Eid, Hamas members were handing out green papers—US dollars—to their loyalists. Before that, it was flour, back when people couldn't find a single bite to eat. Since they took over Gaza, we haven’t seen a single good day.

Shocked by news about the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington last night. This isn’t “pro-Palestinian”—it’s pro-terrorism. It’s murder, plain and simple: immoral, inhumane, and indefensible.

13,000 CHILDREN IN GAZA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. Over 13,000 children have been left with irreversible injuries, many losing limbs they’ll never get back. These are not just statistics; these are the lives of Gaza's youngest — lives torn apart by a war they never asked for. (1/2)

Just watched a video of a baby in Gaza dying—because there was no baby formula. No food. Nothing. Not from poverty. Not from chaos. But from a state-engineered starvation policy. An infant starved to death in 2025 because someone decided aid trucks should be blocked.

Hamas Tortured Me for Dissent. Here's What They Truly Think of Palestinians
I thought I'd left Gaza behind, yet all this time, Hamas was planning to expand its extremism and intimidation.

When Hamza Howidy came forward to speak about the brutality of Hamas, he received death threats. He was hounded by the “pro Palestinian” movement that consistently ignores the brutality of Hamas toward their own people. Gazans are risking their lives to demand an end to Hamas today.This is courage.

One of the most beautiful things I liked in Gaza was the Ramadan atmosphere: walking into the old city, in Omar-AlMokhtar Street, the old market, the glow of lanterns, the voices of merchants calling out their offers, and the spirit of togetherness made Ramadan in Gaza truly special. (1/3)

How cruel can you be, opening your weapon and firing 17 shots at a father and son because you believe they are Palestinians? Mordechai Brafman, a pro-Israel fanatic, did this near Miami Beach on Saturday night. When the police questioned him, he smirked and said, "I killed two Palestinians." (1/2)

Opposition leaders such as Gantz and Lapid, along with Netanyahu's staunchly extreme right-wing government, have shown a striking lack of the courage or moral integrity required to denounce a plan that can only be described as ethnic cleansing of a population. All complicit in the same crime.
