Maha Hussaini’s work in Gaza has been monumentally indispensable.
She is still risking her life to continue documenting Israel’s genocide. Maha is the embodiment of courage and determination.
The whole world owes her so much.
Maha Hussaini@MahaGaza
Since I started my work in the field of human rights in 2014, I have submitted my resignation multiple times after each Israeli offensive on Gaza. After having done my duties as a human rights advocate and -before anything else- as a human being, I fell into depression resulting from desperation over international inaction towards war crimes, and for weeks, sometimes even months, I felt we were screaming into the void. I was known for submitting resignations after each attack until it turned into a joke at the organisation and among my colleagues. As we move to close the physical space of our Euro-Med Monitor (@EuroMedHR) Gaza office, fearing for the safety of our staff following an escalating Israeli campaign in retaliation for our documentation of Israeli abuses, and most recently the release of our report on sexual violence in Israel’s places of detention, I came across this message sent by my manager on the morning of 7 October 2023. Jokingly, he said: “I’m telling you from now, your resignation will be rejected,” and then followed it with another message: “If you stay alive, of course" I sent him the screenshot this morning, reminding him that I “happened to” stay alive, but that, bizarrely, I haven’t submitted my resignation, not during the genocide, not following the ceasefire agreement, and not even now, as an Israeli incitement campaign is escalating. While the world was looking away as a genocide was being livestreamed on their screens, I questioned the point of our work countless times. As I quietly recited the Shahada (the statement of faith before death) each time I entered a school to document testimonies, I questioned whether the world actually deserved more evidence to finally acknowledge that the target was everything called Palestinian, not just a certain political or armed group. I had so many existential questions, but, to my astonishment (and that of my colleagues), not even once did I submit my resignation. With each human rights defender, activist, or journalist targeted, I came to realise more and more that something about them was annoying the perpetrators. And for the first time in my life, I found a purpose in what I want to be; that if I couldn’t stop war criminals, I want to live the rest of my life annoying them. As we close the door to our beloved Gaza office, we have finally, more than ever, found a purpose in continuing what we do by all means, under all circumstances.

There are moments in Gaza when suffering becomes so ordinary that people stop asking for solutions.
They begin asking only for the smallest relief. A little less pain.
A child who sleeps through the night.
When I entered the clinic that morning, I noticed a young woman carrying a baby so small that I could not tell whether the child was a newborn or simply made tiny by hardship.
When her turn came, she gently placed the baby on my desk and said:
“I want any cream you have.” Any cream. Not a specific medicine. Not a particular treatment.
Just anything.
She uncovered the baby and showed me the severe rash covering much of the child’s fragile skin.
“I treat the baby with whatever free creams I can find in clinics,” she explained.
“Anything helps.”
As she spoke, I noticed something else. The baby was not wearing a diaper. Only pieces of cloth.
I asked why.
“I can’t afford diapers,” she replied calmly. “I wash these and use them again.”
Then she added that they were living in a tent and that her husband had suffered a serious foot injury and was unable to work.
“I’m not asking for much,” she said.
“I only want a cream.”
But what caught my attention most was not the rash.
It was the malnutrition.
The baby was severely underweight. The kind of malnutrition that is visible before any examination even begins.
So I asked the mother whether she had noticed.
She nodded. “Yes, I know.”
Then she said something I cannot forget: “When the baby gets older, things will get better.”
Not because she truly believed it.
But because hope was cheaper than treatment.
And treatment was something she could no longer afford. That was the moment that broke me.
Not the tent. Not the poverty. Not even the illness.
But the fact that this mother had lowered her expectations so much that she no longer dreamed of proper medical care, diapers, or adequate nutrition.
She came asking for the smallest thing she could imagine. A tube of cream.
Any cream.
Something that might make the baby hurt a little less.
The baby could not have been more than five months old.
Too young to understand war. Too young to understand poverty. Yet already carrying both on that tiny body.
There is something profoundly cruel about a world in which a mother’s greatest hope for her child is no longer a better future.
Only a little less suffering tonight.

@matthew_petti Here good example of a spiritual cuck👇

FJ@Natsecjeff
Iran has psychologists on its team of negotiators and Trump has real estate developers. The Iranians will win these negotiations, either by dragging them out forever or by getting Trump to sign a terrible deal, worse than any JCPOA you can think of. However, the deal will eventually - and very soon - get blown out of the water when IRGC reasserts itself in the region and is met with severe Israeli resistance, who, unlike the Arabs, won't sit around with their willy in their hands.
English
@matthew_petti People need to start talking about spiritual cuckolding the same way they talk about third worldism. He's just upset that American Muslims haven't been spiritual cucks for Israel like some evangelicals.
English
These complaints about “Third Worldism” all boil down to the browns assimilating *too much*. Someone like Zohran Mamdani is acting with the confidence of a native-born white man in the promises of democracy, civic rights, etc instead of supplicating like a beggar.
Reihan Salam@reihan
One interesting and underappreciated development: as AIPAC has become a bogeyman in Democratic politics, wealthy tech workers of Muslim origin are powering American Priorities, the anti-AIPAC effort backing DSA candidates in NYC and elsewhere. This is a social world I know a bit by virtue of my background, and its rising political clout has brought to mind something I touch on in my essay for @SapirJournal: "Together, the integration paradox and religious attrition explain something that might otherwise seem puzzling: why the most committed and articulate voices of Muslim anti-Americanism in the United States are not marginalized, dispossessed, under-assimilated newcomers. Rather, they are privileged, cosmopolitan, first- and second-generation insiders who lead largely secular lives." Why is Third Worldism proving so seductive to the most upwardly mobile, influential, high-status members of America's fastest-growing religious minority? This is not a story about failed assimilation. Rather, it is about the changing character of assimilation. More below: sapirjournal.org/fixing-america…

🇺🇸🇵🇸 NEW: 61 Congressional Democrats Demand Medical Evacuations for Gaza’s Cancer Patients
🔸Congressional Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to reestablish a medical corridor that Israel has refused to reopen since 2023, and finally allow Palestinian cancer patients in Gaza to access treatment in East Jerusalem and the West Bank.
🔸In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday, the lawmakers said more than 18,500 Palestinians need urgent medical care unavailable in Gaza, including roughly 11,000 cancer patients.
🔸“Cancer diagnoses have become death sentences in Gaza,” they wrote, urging Washington to press Israel to restore the pathway that operated before October 2023.
🔸 The letter was led by Rep. James McGovern, Sens. Ed Markey and Chris Van Hollen, and Reps. Madeleine Dean and Maxine Dexter. It cited Ghazal, a six-year-old boy with leukemia who died waiting for Israel to approve his evacuation.
🔸 The lawmakers asked the administration to engage Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye on evacuations and to ensure Gaza’s hospitals can be rebuilt. They requested a response by June 24.
Rep. Jim McGovern@RepMcGovern
A six-year-old Palestinian boy with leukemia died while waiting for the Netanyahu government to approve his medical evacuation request. His name was Ghazal. In Gaza, no hospital is fully functional and Israeli approval is required to leave. A cancer diagnosis is a death sentence. That’s why I led 61 of my colleagues in demanding that the Trump Administration reestablish a medical evacuation corridor so patients have a chance to survive—a chance that was never afforded to Ghazal. Read more about how @ChrisVanHollen, @SenMarkey, @RepDean, @RepDexterOR, & I are demanding immediate action to alleviate this horrific humanitarian crisis: mcgovern.house.gov/news/documents…

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been exposed.
This video shows three young men trying to help an injured person, but Israel bombs them with a missile, killing them all.
A moment the world must never forget.

🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib@RepRashida
Sama Safi is a 20-year old U.S. citizen and student who was kidnapped by Israeli soldiers from her family home at 3am last week and remains in Israeli prison. She has a chronic health condition and requires daily medication. Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!

This is barbaric. They were not permitted to explain to the jury why they carried out the attack on the Elbit factory - which makes the weapons that kill Palestinian children. And the jury was never told they would be sentenced as terrorists. /1

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Fahd Abu Haikal was driving through Hebron last week when he spotted a group of Israeli soldiers.
He began to slow down, but one of the soldiers raised his rifle & opened fire.
One bullet pierced the windshield, striking his son, Sam, in the head.
He was just 7 months old -- the 13th child to be killed by Israeli security forces in the West Bank so far this year.
The IDF says it is investigating the shooting.
