If this genocide funding bill is passed in the US, the atrocities and war crimes will only worsen in Gaza. The war in Gaza will have no end.
These are the horrors that Palestinians live through on a daily basis. They have no escape. There is no safe place for anyone in Gaza.
Israeli bulldozers ran over and killed innocent Palestinians sleeping in tents. These were camps that they were told were “safe” outside of a hospital and they are slaughtered along with innocent patients.
A mother and daughter seeking shelter in a church were shot to death by the IDF.
Journalists are being arrested. Journalists are being targeted by snipers. Journalists and their families are being bombed.
UN schools are being bombed and innocent Palestinians looking for safety are murdered in these attacks.
Israeli soliders destroy cemeteries and dance on the graves of the dead.
Multiple reports of children dying of starvation. One from a little girl in a camp near the Rafah border and another from a little boy with disabilities unable to receive the necessary food.
People with disabilities unable to travel to the south of Gaza are cut off from any possibility of aid or assistance in the north of Gaza.
Doctors are arrested and held indefinitely in Israeli prisons. They are also targeted in airstrikes and by Israeli snipers and killed.
Few aid trucks are making it through the border. There is not enough food, water, medicine, or fuel to support the needs of Palestinians.
IDF soldiers round up Palestinian men and boys, force them to undress, and detain and torture these men and boys. One man had his leg amputated for no reason when forcibly imprisoned by the IDF.
The IDF killed three Israeli hostages who were waving white flags and asking for help.
25,000 children in Gaza have lost either one or both of their parents.
How can people remain silent?
Where is the compassion?
Are world leaders really this callous?
Is this world really this callous?
Are people that focused on consumerism to avoid the needs of humanity?
Is personal comfort that important over the lives of innocent people?
I ask you this through my tears and demand answers, but I know the answers and it only ushers on more tears.
I am sorry, Palestine. Where humankind has failed you, I pray desperately that God provides for you where we have proven nothing but lacking. God is with you. My heart and prayers are with you.
These atrocities will only worsen. Israel does not face the backlash of world leaders directly calling out their actions and holding Israel to account. Since there is no recourse or threat from another country, Israel acts above reproach and the atrocities will worsen and will continue.
Please support the worldwide strike and protest on Monday and share.
Don’t remain silent.
Take action.
Protest.
Be ungovernable.
Vote them all out.
Demand an embargo for Israel and the US.
From the river to the sea, may Palestine be free. May the whole world be free.
Vote 3rd party. Protest. Boycott. BE UNGOVERNABLE. Volunteer. Organize. Donate. Contact your elected officials. Share the stories from Gaza. Share the news from Gaza. Share the history of Gaza. Please extend the same energy to other areas and people facing genocide and atrocities- Sudan, the Congo, the Rohingyans, West Papua, Armenians, and the Uyghurs.
