Letter from a beautiful soul trapped in Gaza, the ghetto turned into meat-grinder. The monstrosity of our time.
"I Didn't Come Out of War
War came out of me
It came out of my flesh, my hair, the cracks in my heels,
my breath that has turned blue from crying
I walk each day in this cemetery called Life.
We survived? For what?
Who said that those who came out alive came out unharmed?
We came out dragging our entrails in nylon bags.
Today I live, oh... I live
But not like other people live
I crawl from the hour of sleep to the hours of nothingness
I chew dry dust as a declaration of survival
I count my breaths so I don't die by mistake
And every morning I hate the sun for rising
The sky above me is a torn black cloth full of holes
From which the souls of martyrs escape
And from which the scent of my mother wafts as she cried kneading bread
They told us: Adapt!
How does the hole adapt to a child's body?
or the wall to the absence of its family?
or the picture to the missing wall?
My heart adapted to no longer delighting in the lemon tree
that grew up with us.
I am the stone I place on my chest every night
So I don't fly away from my fear.
My shadow is very light, because I've abandoned everything heavy:
Homeland, Memory, and Fairuz's Voice in the morning.
I don't have a dream.
I am beyond the dream.
I am the remains of a dream that slept on the ground so long that it became rubble.
Survival is not Salvation; survival is the slender betrayal of those who have passed away.
Survivors are tested every day with the same questions:
How are you still alive?
With what heart do you sleep?
With what mind do you reminisce?
Life, if it were to return, would find us sleeping in the dark.
All we want is for daylight to tiptoe past us and let us remain asleep where we can forget our old names
for we no longer recognize ourselves.
If I die tomorrow,
Bury me standing up
So I don’t look idle in the grave, as I did in life.
For hunger steals sleep,
And oppression steals prayer,
And war has stolen me..."

Two doctors go to work to assist others.Nine of their kids are killed by an Israeli missile targeting their home. Only surviving child, in critical conditions.
Targeting families in the still-standing buildings: distinguishable sadistic pattern of the new phase of the genocide.
Dr. Mads Gilbert@DrMadsGilbert
Dr. Alaa and Dr. Hamdi Al-Najjar’s home was targeted, 9 of their 10 children brutally killed, the surviving husband, and one child seriously wounded. Dr. Alaa received her killed children while at work in Nasser Hospital. Dr. Alaa is a paediatrician. She’s keeps working. The ISraeli army targets families, hospitals and health care workers in this murderous genocide.

As @bbcnews won't release our film on the destruction of the Gazan health system we are sharing films from Drs there. This is @rosieplasticsurgeon Dr Victoria Rose describing her day in Nasser Hospital & the terrible plight of a mother & daughters. Our film focuses on Gazan Drs.

@VigilantFox Isn’t Trump funding his own genocide in Gaza ? Hes hardly in a position to comment.
English

Trump just played his ace card.
The media spent years covering up the targeted killings of White farmers in South Africa——because it didn't fit their narrative.
He confronted the issue head-on beside President Ramaphosa, under the bright lights of live TV.
What happened next left the press scrambling for cover.
