"The Israeli army considers cameras more dangerous than weapons. It wanted to commit this genocide with complete impunity, without being held accountable (...). We believed the images would be enough to trigger pressure. But the crimes continue." Suhail Nassar, Director of From GAZA with LOVE

"As the Mexican proverb says, they tried to bury us, not knowing we were seeds. Daniel’s story is another seed planted in the ground, and we will keep searching for our brothers and sisters — despite Milei’s denialism" - Florencia Santucho, Co-Director of Identidad
