Al Jazeera asked displaced Palestinian children about their hopes for the new year. I wanted to share their responses here:

🇧🇷🗣️ MANIFESTAÇÃO DE DOMINGO | A Pública acompanhou em São Paulo as manifestações contra o PL da Dosimetria, neste domingo (14). Na ocasião, perguntamos aos manifestantes quais temas eles gostariam de ver sendo votados pelo Congresso.

🇧🇷 Manifestantes de esquerda vão às ruas em algumas capitais contra o Congresso Nacional e em apoio ao governo Lula. Críticas ao PL da Dosimetria e à condução da Câmara dos Deputados pelo presidente Hugo Motta foram registradas nos atos.

O Congresso, que deveria ser a voz do povo, virou palco de um espetáculo deprimente em defesa de quem atacou a democracia. Na calada da noite, aprovaram o PL da Dosimetria para aliviar a barra de golpistas.

Democracia? Há em 2025 prisioneiros políticos pró-Palestina no sistema prisional britânico em greve de fome!

By the end of October 2025, Israel destroyed 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland and 75% of its greenhouses. This destruction will have horrific long-term environmental impacts on Gaza.

“The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal. [...] the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over.”

Israel’s genocide has destroyed nearly 90% of Gaza’s economy, causing the worst economic collapse ever recorded. In 2024 alone, Israel caused Gaza’s GDP to decline by 83%, according to data reported by the UN Trade and Development agency. Now, Gaza’s economy stands at just 13% of its 2022 levels.

VOICES FOR GAZA brought together Palestinian writers, activists, & their allies. Before hundreds, the speakers demonstrated one of the most important values that can sustain us in a time of seemingly unending mourning, resistance, & struggle: solidarity. Here, we hear from Hannah Lillith Assadi.

Every coffee you click “weekly” on is a true lifeline for for six families & a camp (of fifteen more!) to survive ongoing genocide. Read that back. Hope, not hopelessness. Urgent needs right now are emergency healthcare for three women, food, shelter.

Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday and held at police headquarters in Brasilia, two months after he was convicted of attempting a coup by the country’s Supreme Court. Read more: bloom.bg/3XLKriE 📷️: Arthur Menescal/Bloomberg

A ceasefire?

"Over 11,000 Palestinians from Gaza, mostly women and children, have disappeared since October 7. Their relatives don’t know if they’re dead or alive, trapped under rubble or detained in Israeli prisons — but they’re desperate to find answers." www.972mag.com/search-gaza-...

For two years, our team of journalists in Gaza illuminated what Israel sought to keep hidden, while enduring the very displacement, starvation, and loss that they reported on. This is the genocide through their eyes: An illustrated timeline. www.972mag.com/the-genocide...

Any reality made by human beings can be remade by them. (...) The things we can accomplish together are, by definition, within our sphere of control, even if we have to act through structures that are bigger than any of us alone to achieve them. By @erikmbaker

A imprensa encampa sem pensar todo discurso de desumanização e depois de choca com a barbárie. Os mortos em Gaza são terroristas. Os barcos bombardeados no Caribe são de traficantes. Os massacrados no RJ são todos bandidos. Crimes de guerra, execução extrajudicial. Tudo torna-se normal assim.

"[G]enocide is coded in the DNA of Western imperialism." "Palestine has made this clear." "The West cannot lecture anyone now about democracy, human rights or the supposed virtues of Western civilization." #Gaza #WestBank #Palestine #Israel #USA #Genocide #EthnicCleansing

It’s so great and normal that Israel can just pause and unpause ceasefire agreements in-between bombing Gaza It’s almost like Israel never respects ceasefires, neither in Palestine nor in Lebanon.

"[O]ver 9,100 Palestinians continue to be held in Israeli prisons." "Some 3,544 of them are held under the Israeli system of 'administrative detention,' which allows Israel to imprison Palestinians for up to six months without charge or trial." #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Incarceration #Genocide

The genocide is not over. Ceasefire is not liberation. Keep giving. chuffed.org/project/help... “Donations for mutual aid groups dropped by 50% since the ceasefire announcement. Most of the bombing stopped but the genocide continues and Palestinians in Gaza are in dire need of material support.”

"Fiz isto para a minha filha, cujo aniversário era para ser em cinco dias", disse um refém palestino libertado, segurando uma pequena pulseira q fizera para ela. Ele tinha acabado de saber q a ocupação israelense havia matado todos os seus filhos: Baraa, de 8 anos; Iman, de 5; e sua filha de 2 anos⤵️

Israeli leaders screamed their genocidal intent at the top of their lungs all the way through. No crime in history has been so confessed to as it actually happened. But almost all Western media outlets suppressed this. Kudos to @scotnational.bsky.social for not being one of them.

✊🏼🔥 Governo Lula lança campanha pelo "bom senso" do Congresso em aprovar pautas para o povo e convoca população para lutar pelos avanços que melhorarão o Brasil

Esta foi a última mensagem do jornalista palestino Saleh Al-Jaafarawi antes de ser morto hoje. Ele compartilhou este vídeo ontem, uma mensagem sincera de agradecimento a todos que apoiaram, apoiaram e protestaram por Gaza e pela causa palestina.

It's October 7 today. It's been two years of israeli genocide in Palestine; violence, bombs and images of starving Palestinians, children being ripped limb from limb, all backed and supported by western liberal democracies, who preach "democracy" and "international law" every single day.

After being released from the Israeli prison, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg addresses the world's complicity with the Palestinian genocide.

Translated: Israel attacks Sumud flotilla, kidnapping civilians from 26 countries. Protests in Berlin, Istanbul, Barcelona, ​​Rome, Brussels, Athens. The people are fighting back, complicit states must be called out! #JusticeForPalestine #gaza #sumud #flotilla #isral #viral #palestine #sumudforgaza

Global Sumud Flotilla is live as Israel threatens to stop them from breaking the starvation siege of Gaza. A reminder that they are not entering Israeli waters, but Palestinian waters. Israel intends to violate international law once again. www.youtube.com/live/uEN2bWF...

Rest In Power ✊🏼

Palestinian refugees say state recognition is whitewashing genocide

Under heavy bombardment, caravans of broken souls flee Gaza City in a mass exodus resembling a collective funeral. 🧵1/...

LIMPEZA ÉTNICA: Uma nova catástrofe, deslocamento forçado e a dor de deixar o lar, famílias amontoadas em caminhões, carregando o que podiam salvar, escapando das bombas enquanto seus corações ficam para trás. @itamaratygovbr.bsky.social @hrw.org @hrw-fr.hrw.org @hrwespanol.bsky.social 🧵1/...⤵️

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

🚨 URGENTE Após perderem os escrúpulos e aprovarem a PEC DA BANDIDAGEM, o PL quer aprovar AGORA o Requerimento de Urgência do projeto de ANISTIA para o líder de organização criminosa Jair Messias Bolsonaro. Já estamos em posição na Câmara para votar e lutar contra a proposta. +👇🏽

Sem anistia e sem golpe do congresso!

The head of an independent United Nations commission that concludes Israel has committed genocide in Gaza argues that countries supplying weapons to Israel, like the United States, are also complicit.

A genocide turned into a real estate deal, our displacement translated into percentages and shares We are uprooted from our homes,and our blood is marketed as a real estate bonanza As if we are not souls but exiled suitcases,as if Gaza is not a homeland but an auction on ruins tinyurl.com/3sem5b4p

11 de setembro de 2025 - Um dia para a história.

Em 11 de setembro de 1973, a democracia caía no Chile, em um golpe patrocinado pelos EUA Já em 11 de setembro de 2025, o Brasil condena cabeças de uma tentativa de golpe de Estado, mesmo sob pressão contrária dos mesmos EUA Precisamos celebrar a vitória. Não só o Brasil, mas todo o continente

Great day! Brazil Supreme Court votes to convict Bolsonaro on all charges

Durante fala do ministro do STF Luiz Fux no julgamento que tem como réu principal o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro, o magistrado disse que os ataques de 8 de janeiro de 2023, em Brasília, foram "comportamentos de turbas desordenadas". A Pública mostra que houve, sim, coordenação prévia. Confira!

Israel has killed an average of 21.3 women per day through direct bombardment of the Gaza Strip. One Palestinian woman per hour, not including those who have died due to siege, starvation, or lack of medical care.

An entire city lives under the threat of annihilation, and there are those who await its demise, only to share its tears www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

"Every bomb dropped on Gaza, every burned olive tree, every acre stolen to build Jewish-only homes in the West Bank, carries not just Israel's fingerprints but also those of the governments and institutions that finance ... [Israel's] racist policies."

Israel actively represses & controls the Palestinian education system. With 18,000+ children killed & nearly 90% of schools destroyed in Gaza, an entire generation is being denied education. From: Visualizing Palestine

Under international law, journalists should be protected civilians, yet Israel is “engaging in the deadliest and most deliberate effort to kill and silence journalists that CPJ has ever documented”.

What is happening in Gaza is genocide. Those enabling it—lawmakers sending arms to Israel, officials giving it cover at the UN and international courts, the lobby groups demanding such support—aren’t just accomplices, but full participants in a crime against humanity. They must be held to account.
