Ten.

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.

@MalcolmSheppard Holy reheated log cabin republicans, Batman!

Hold on, new shitty centrist opinion dropped.

@postoctobrist Red until Rom the Vacuous Spider is defeated and then blue thereafter.

Quite taken with the red one, can we just leave it like that all year and have Goth City Chambers

@MalcolmSheppard Fred Clark discusses years of trying to quash “proctor and gamble are satanists”: people didn’t repeat it because they thought it was objective truth, they repeated it because it made them feel righteous. Disproving it only got them to maybe stop saying that to you.

@MalcolmSheppard And we know that telling people that something they want to believe because it makes them feel good isn’t true, even when they agree in the moment, doesn’t work.

What this comes down to is that propaganda doesn't convince people if a falsehood, it invites them to participate in and benefit from one. Fact-based retorts never work. You must make them suffer for their lies.

This reads like a lady who calls ICE when someone with an accent she hired to remodel her bathroom leaves a mess.

@postoctobrist Of course a landlord is a rangers supporter.

the landlord left us a bottle of wine, which was nice, but also a Rangers mug

got the keys to the new flat and met one of the neighbours, who hit me with ‘you look like you work in the arts, what do you do’ sir you can just call me the homophobic slur it will save us a lot of time

@MalcolmSheppard Never actually walked back the ban on Sikhs, just made it optional.

Both of my WW2 British and Canadian Army veteran grandfathers had nothing but contempt for the "Legion." Its habit of letting racist shit happen on its property and interference with historical scholarship make it unworthy of support.

@postoctobrist Printout of AO3 Settlers 3 fic.

unsubtly publicly reading what appears to be a large print copy of Settlers but inside the cover it’s actually just a large print porno

@postoctobrist Not you. An American touched their phone wrong. Not you.

sorry

it’s not a great day to be online with OCD. just know that if Donald Trump gets reelected it will be my fault because I failed to tap on the exact right pixel when scrolling on my phone

@who_shot_jgr Exactly one stop: Churchill. youtube.com/watch?app=desk…

after that be on the look out for our canadian tour (just northern manitoba)

please come see us on our big east coast city tour so we can sell a lot of tickets so i can then convince the booking agent to let us do a horrible midwest tour, where we visit decatur and council bluffs and terre haute and eau claire and etc.

@postoctobrist Lighting some incense for you.

If there actually is nothing wrong with it and I got it for the rent they want for it, it would be considered by many international authorities to be a clear case of ‘taking the piss’ and ‘being the luckiest bastard alive’

today I have a viewing for the most incredible, palatial flat I have ever seen and which is somehow in budget. everyone please pray that a) there is actually nothing wrong with it b) I get it

@postoctobrist @Devon_OnEarth @UNIFIL_ IDK, when I think of peacekeepers acting with impunity, the first thing that jumps to mind is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_a…

@Devon_OnEarth @UNIFIL_ I think a decent amount about these guys, who were kind of the polar opposite of the Dutch in Srebrenica: thestrategybridge.org/the-bridge/201…

Israel using chemical weapons against UN Peacekeepers. That's where we're up to today. Try this out @UNIFIL_: SHOOT BACK

@Ciaranxo Honestly, it would be great if Ireland looked to eg Luxembourg as a model – trying to ensure that kids come out of school fully multilingual – instead of seeing Irish as a vaguely embarrassing statutory requirement

Shut the fuck up

the existence of a border collie implies the violence of its maintenance

@mcmansionhell Maximilian is oddly popular for kids right now.

@quendergeer He’s at the bottom of a fjord, isn’t he.

@palebloodstasi Celebrating weird local traditions and festivals rather than trying to find an overriding English identity that can hold Penzance, Sheffield and Newcastle without just being dreams of empire, and then defending them from RETVRN fascists

@LeavittAlone @gabrielwinant Namibia, which gets transferred from the German Empire to the K+K dual monarchy by people in Europe who have never been there. Technically, they are only administering it but in practice, it’s an extractive colony.

@oldenoughtosay From rural Ontario. Would say “Partner”.
