Israel has “killed more journalists than the U.S. Civil War, World Wars I and II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia and Laos), the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and 2000s, and the post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, combined” watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/…
This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

Odeh just died. Murdered.
An Israeli settler just shot Odeh Hadalin in the lungs, a remarkable activist who helped us film No Other Land in Masafer Yatta. Residents identified Yinon Levi, sanctioned by the EU and US, as the shooter. This is him in the video firing like crazy.

In Gaza, Israelis are burning people alive, starving people to death. In Jerusalem, they are launching pogroms that resemble Nazi Germany. In the West Bank, they're settling trees and cattle on fire. And yet not one Israeli ambassador has been expelled from any Western country.

If you're wondering how our leaders can let children be burned alive and do nothing, remember that they've been watching who is in the streets, who is willing to withhold labour, who is willing to sacrifice material comforts to prevent this. Outrage isn't nearly enough.

In case you didn’t know, @CineplexMovies is peddling a Zionist propoganda film in Canadian theatres as an active genocide is being live-streamed. Consent being manufactured through legacy media wasn’t enough. Time to bring it to the big screen I guess! Fucking disgusting.
Attention Canadian audiences! October 8 will be in theatres starting this Friday! Find tickets & showtimes: October8Film.com/Tickets

Boycott Berlinale. The Berlin International Film Festival remains deeply complicit in the German government’s partnership in Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

I'm just going to start saying the UAE/RSF militia when referring to them from now on since they wouldn't be committing these massacres without the UAE. The UAE funds & supplies them with weapons & even evacuates injured fighters to Abu Dhabi for top care. The UAE is the militia

Israel's war on Gaza is a genocide, says U.N. rights expert @franceskalbs, who has just released a new report titled "Genocide as Colonial Erasure." There has not only been a failure to prevent genocide, but it has been "enabled through the various organs of the state," she says.

UN report states that "Israeli helicopters were present at the Nova site and may have shot at targets on the ground, including civilian vehicles." It's likely that the Israeli military may have used the Hannibal Directive at the festival on 7 October 2023, says @AsaWinstanley.

"I thought those fighting hard for peace in Gaza would deserve it." Toshiyuki Mimaki, the Japanese anti-nuclear campaigner whose group, Nihon Hidankyo, won the Nobel Peace Prize, says he was surprised they won the award instead of people working to stop Israel’s war on Gaza.
