My grandmother Naifa al-Sawada was born in June 1932. A beautiful girl with blue eyes, she was the only daughter to her parents. They were originally from Gaza but moved to nearby Bir al-Saba, where Naifa’s father Rizq worked as a merchant. She did well at school and in 1947 obtained the necessary certificate from the British – then the rulers of Palestine – to attend university. She did not do so, however. Her father was fearful about what could happen to her at a time when war in Palestine appeared imminent. At a young age, she married my grandfather Salman al-Nawaty and went to live in Gaza. Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist forces expelled approximately 800,000 Palestinians from their homes. Among those directly affected by the Nakba – Arabic for catastrophe – were Naifa’s own parents, who fled their home in Bir al-Saba for Gaza. Having witnessed the Nakba, Naifa encouraged her own children to defend Palestine. Naifa gave birth to four girls and six boys.Like so many mothers in Gaza, she experienced great loss. Her son Moataz went missing while traveling to Jerusalem in 1982. It is still not known what happened to him. Another son Moheeb, a journalist, left Palestine for Norway in 2007. Three years later he traveled to Syria. In January 2011, he went missing. The Syrian authorities subsequently confirmed to the Norwegian diplomatic service that he was imprisoned. But he has not been allowed to contact his family.We do not know his current whereabouts or even if he is alive or dead. My grandmother witnessed the first intifada from 1987 and 1993. On the streets around her, youngsters with stones and slingshots rose up against armed Israeli soldiers in tanks and military jeeps. During that time, her son Moheeb – the aforementioned journalist – was held for more than a year without charge or trial. That infamous practice is called administrative detention. My grandmother lived close to al-Shifa, Gaza’s largest hospital. She took great care of arranging everything in her home with her delicate hands. She used those same hands to comb her hair into braids. She memorized the Quran and took great interest in the education of her children and grandchildren. On 21 March this year, Israeli troops broke into my grandmother’s home. The soldiers displayed immense brutality. They ordered the women in our family to evacuate on foot and arrested the men. They would not allow the women to take my grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s disease, with them. The soldiers claimed that my grandmother would be safe. That was a lie. The invasion of my grandmother’s house took place amid Israel’s siege on al-Shifa hospital. My grandmother’s house was destroyed during that siege and she was killed. Her remains were found days after the Israeli troops eventually withdrew from the hospital earlier this month. She was killed – alone – in the same house where she had lived since 1955. We do not know if she suffered or if she died quickly. We do know that she was older than Israel’s merciless occupation.

I didn't think "Muslim" when the terrorists crashed those planes on 9/11, and I don't think "Jewish" when Israel commits genocide. A terrorist is a terrorist. I don't care what religion they are.

Someone who attacks random Jewish people because of what Israel is doing would be an anti-Jewish bigot. Someone who wants the genocide to stop and wants those responsible to be punished is not an anti-Jewish bigot.

9/11 is not representative of Muslim people as a whole, and Israel's genocide is not representative of Jewish people as a whole.

"BREAKING | Director General of the Government Media in Gaza:

- We have discovered two mass graves in the Nasser Medical Complex and we expect there will be more.

- We found in Nasser Complex corpses without heads, bodies without skins, and some of them had their organs stolen

- The Israeli occupation executed dozens of displaced, wounded, sick, and medical personnel

- The fate of dozens of those who were in Nasser Complex is still unknown after the occupation’s withdrawal

- We demand the opening of an international investigation to find out the reasons for the evaporation and decomposition of the bodies of some martyrs."

“Palestinian civil defense discovered hundreds of bodies buried by Israeli forces in a mass grave inside the complex of Khan Younis' Nasser Medical Complex on Saturday.

Rescue workers said they had removed at least 200 bodies as of 12:00 pm local time on Sunday, and they estimated that at least another 200 remained, Middle East Eye reported.

"We found corpses without heads, bodies without skins, and some had their organs stolen," the director-general of the Government Media Office said in a statement shared by Quds News Network.”

🚨 Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nusseirat (central #Gaza):

—

The occupation targeted the hospital's administration headquarters at exactly 3:35 AM on Monday, followed by another targeting at 3:43 AM, which led to the disruption of the solar power system that supplies the hospital with electricity, in addition to significant damage to the water and fuel tanks and the electric elevator.

We condemn this targeting and consider it a direct attack, especially since the coordinates of the hospital's location are known and recognized by all parties, and Al-Awda is committed to operational procedures during conflicts and wars.

Dear Media: The college demonstrations are anti-genocide, not "pro-Palestine." Israel's actions are horrifying no matter what population they're aimed at.

Writing that they're pro-Palestine brings the historic conflict into it and makes a good guys / bad guys narrative where none exists. The Israeli actions are freaking EVIL. There's no good and bad.

I can't even cope with how horriffic this is. Using their own humanity, kindness and empathy against them.

This is a genocide. Intentional. What more evidence do you need?
