Preach

I am Jewish. I am an anti-Zionist. I am always and forever pro-Palestine.

My grandmother was born in Palestine before Israel existed. My grandmother, who died less than a decade ago (in her 70s) was already older than the settler colonial state of Israel. Judaism exists without Zionism. Zionism goes against the Jewish religion. Zionism is white supremacy.

From the river to the sea Palestine WILL BE FREE

I can't think of anything more embarrassing than creating a Jewish State out of the ashes of the Holocaust just to ethnically cleanse another group of people.

if i see any of you demonizing Palestinians today, i am blocking you on sight. if you really cared about people dying, the very last thing you'd be doing is supporting the culling of Palestine. the events of today are the result of literal decades of genocide. the State of Israel is going to retaliate in tenfold. this should concern you. this should horrify you. this should anger you. there should be no room in your heart for hatred right now, and if me saying that bothers you, you don't see Palestinians as human. also save us both the time and block me first.

Dreams of Palestinian children

[elysianwritingss]

" Men in Gaza do cry.

When they lose their homes that they spend their

whole lives building, they cry

When they see their dreams and hopes getting destroyed, they cry.

When they realise how scary and uncertain their future is, they cry.

And because they are human beings, full of feelings and emotions, they cry."

This is an excerpt from a 35-year-old Palestinian's account of life in Gaza under siege.

Ziad has been writing for the Guardian about the realities of the Israeli bombardment, as he, his sister and their pets, flee their home in Gaza City in the hope of survival.
