Hey everyone, this is Bisan from Gaza. I'm still alive but Hind is not. Do you remember Hind Rajab? This seven (7) years old child who was missed 12 days ago. Hind was in a car with five (5) family members and they were all killed - except Hind - by an Israeli bomb, and then she called the Ambulance, she asked them to rescue her. Two Ambulance men from the Red Crescent tried to do this but they were also missed. Now; today they were found killed. The body of Hind found killed, found murdered. It's just a new massacre added to the list of endlessly massacres committed by Israel against my people; Palestinians in Gaza right now.

No one holds Israel accountable until now. No one is doing anything. Hind was killed. Who is the next? I don't know, it might be any one of us, but I mean, it's a new, it's a new massacre - she is murdered. You all heard her story, you all heard her voice asking for help saying (Bisan speaks in Arabic first then translates to English the following) "take me with you, take me from here". She was between dead bodies for days, alone and no one could rescue her. We knew where she was, we knew that she was okay, we knew that she could contact the Red Crescent but no one rescued her.

There really is nothing left to say.

This. I have not seen ANY videos/pictures/media showing destroyed buildings in israel like I have seen in Palestine. We have seen Palestine being totally leveled: bombed hospitals, houses, schools, everything. But you know what I have not seen? The same in israel. And do not even try to say "oh khamas controls israels media!!!". How? Because thats makes you sound like an antivaxxer flatearther 💀 so your opinion is automatically worthless and waste of space.

Like people make it sound like what happened on oct 7 was like The Rumbling yet I havent seen anything of that level. Yet you could think that it happened in Palestine because of all the evidence.

I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.

It's right-handed

I am right-handed

There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly

I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.

There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.

I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.

A homo erectus made it

Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.

Who were you

A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?

Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?

Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?

Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?

Who were you?

What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?

What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.

Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?

Or has it always been divine?

Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?

Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.

The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.

Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?

I'm not religious.

But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine

I don't know what is.

What a Gazan Should Do During an Israeli Air Strike by Mosab Abu Toha

director of The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992): okay we need to costume both our puppets and humans in something festive and Victorian. but you know. no need to go crazy. it’s a kids’ movie, after all

costume designer, snorting a line of coke off an 1843 issue of Le Bon Ton fashion magazine: right, right

#muppet christmas carol #(the joke is that the costumes are SCRUPULOUSLY accurate for no reason at all) #like if I'm remembering the Abby Cox video correctly they copied a really specific type of smock popular with British working-men #for a costume Rizzo wears in one five-minute scene #*tags above copied from original cause they're neat

description: tweet by @anniefofani reads "I miss you so much Refaat. i assume you sent me this so i could pass it on after your death. so, here it is for the world. click, the date is at the base." then a screenshot of the poem, sent by refaat in a dm. the screenshot reads:

Poem

Death 247

"Get up! Get up! You lazy ass!

We've got work, much work to do"

Nowhere in the world is death employed

So creatively like in Gaza

Death believes in diversity

I whizz, I bang and I bomb.

I fall with rain

Spread with air

And spring like water

Glow with the first light of the day

And do not go until I make sure

I have many a soul hitched to my tail

I come for kids in tens and scores.

And when I finally rest

I beat my chest

Like this like this like this

And wish I won't go to work the other day.

Death doth protest too much

With kicks and clubs I wake

And go to work.

the dm has been reacted to with a heart emoji. it is dated october 14, 2023, at 8:39 am.
