Huh? Eh si Ces Drilon nga yung sinabihan na magbasa sya kasi halatang wala syang alam sa mga pinagsasabi nya. Tanga!

Whether it be a keffiyeh tie or a watermelon pin, the Ontario Medical Association (@OntariosDoctors) ought to have better things to be doing with their time than to waste my time talking about my attire. Like working to improve healthcare for people living in Ontario, or speaking up about our healthcare worker colleagues in Palestine and Lebanon who continue to be killed by the Israeli military attacks on healthcare. Shame on the Ontario Medical Association and their leadership.

It was frightening. It was early morning, still dark. We were thrown out of bed by loud crowds of people. They had poured into Jerusalem from the West Bank and were marching across Palestinian neighborhoods. Settlers. Shouting. Chanting. "Death to the Arabs". (Nakba Day 2011)

BREAKING | Deaths and injuries reported after the Israeli occupation targeted a civilian car in the Nasr neighborhood, central Gaza City.

⛵️✍️ Flotilla Update⛵️✍️: After a final technical pit stop in Antalya bay, the Global Sumud Flotilla fleet with over 50 boats is heading for Gaza—on alert as it sails past Cyprus, and with no more planned stops. Soon after departing from a port in Marmaris, Turkey, the 58 Sumud Flotilla boats were forced to make a technical stop, with two ships decommissioned for this leg of the journey. Any further technical problems will mean the boats will be serviced independently of the flotilla, which does not plan to stop for any reason. Now, the fleet is leaving Antalya bay and will continue on toward Gaza, after departing today. From here, according to the revised route passing by Cyprus, it will take 3 to 4 days to reach Gaza. The fleet will be in international waters west of Cyprus by the end of the day, and organizers have implemented a heightened alert status for the fleet starting at sundown this evening, when the ships immediately risk attack and interception by Israeli forces. The fleet will remain on high alert until interception or until it reaches Gaza’s shores.

Honouring my colleagues in the demonstration today whose memories will never die. Anas Al-Sharif and Fatima Hassouna: The most honourable and respected journalists. Examples to all of us. Heroes of our time who should have been alive.

This may be the last message from Rafif’s family…💔😭 Fear surrounds us from every direction, and we don’t know if we will survive this night or not.😭😭 If our news suddenly stops one day, please don’t forget Rafif and her family.🥀💔 Keep talking about us, and keep us in your prayers…🙏🙏 We are only trying to survive in the middle of all this death and terror.🥹🫂

Israeli tourists in The Philippines, arrogant, abusive and entitled. This culture is bred by colonisation, impunity and constant appeasement.

In the middle of the national demonstration for Palestine in Dublin, a huge banner is held by several people calling on Ireland to stop the game against the Israeli regime next October. Ireland has to have the morality and not play the game. Israel must be kicked out o football

I swear I'm exhausted. I'm having suicidal thoughts I can't get rid of. Maybe some help or a kind comment could help me. I feel like the world is against me 💔

Heart surgery costs 800 euros, while we need 300 euros for my mother's medication to treat her chronic illness. Despite this, the landlord is threatening to evict us from our dilapidated tents, demanding 600 euros. My wife is about to give birth; how will I afford clothes for the newborn? Imagine how we will live in our worn-out tent. How will we protect the baby, especially with no facilities for newborns in this tent, which is infested with rats and insects that have caused skin diseases in my children? The cost of feeding my children and family every day is exorbitant. All of this falls on my shoulders alone. These aren't just numbers; this is unbearable suffering. I hope that everyone who knows about my family's plight will sincerely support us and not stop helping us.  chuffed.org/project/160503…

@stephenRB4 High five! So do I.

I get paid to read books 📚😎

Mehdi Hasan asked an Israeli lawyer if he was shocked by the NYT's piece on Israeli soldiers raping Palestinian detainees. His answer? 'Of course not.' Not because it's false. Because it's old news. Al Jazeera reported it in 2024. He testified about it in 2025. B'Tselem issued reports. Even Israel's own public defender wrote about the torture. Rape by dogs. Women shackled to metal tables for two days. Men raped three times-after being hospitalized. Children threatened with sexual abuse. Palestinians have been saying this for years. So what's new? Nothing. Except the New York Times finally published it.

She threw off her prison shoes and ran toward freedom. Palestinian woman Layan Nasser, 25, from Birzeit near Ramallah, was released after 8 months in Israeli prisons.

İsrail Han Yunus'taki Avrupa Hastanesi'ni bombaladı. Yaralılar ve hastalarla dolu yer, bir anda parçalara ayrıldı. Gazze'nin şimdiye kadar tanık olduğu en korkunç şeylerden biri. Dünya bu aşağılık tehakümü daha ne kadar böyle izleyecek. İnsanlık ölüyor.

Southern Lebanon now looks like Gaza. Israel is committing genocide, again, because it wasn’t stopped the first time.

The oil, while boiling on the fire, spilled onto my child's face. She cries loudly, "We want to buy medicine so the pain will subside." 😭😭 gofund.me/62fb9062d

Up until this moment, my family remains trapped in this predicament. My father needs heart surgery, and my mother suffers from diabetes. Our home has become a place of gloom and sadness. Even I am exhausted and suffer from insomnia, but I have faith that this ordeal will end. Even my children give me positive energy despite everything. I sincerely hope that anyone who understands my family's suffering will support us without hesitation. 😥 chuffed.org/project/160503…

Good morning. Mira and I had breakfast together. It was just fruit, but she made it look like a feast. We're still alive and she's still smiling. ❤️
