My dear brother - please forgive me. I will not visit your childhood tree in al-Birweh and I will not engrave our two names on it... Simply, and with complete honesty: I cannot do that. But there is something else I can do for my sake and yours: engrave our names on the wind. I can etch the wind into the homeland. I can inscribe the homeland on my flesh. I can scatter my flesh in the poem.
Samih al-Qasim, 'Letter to Mahmoud Darwish' (6th October 1986)

please take everything you read with a grain of salt. misinformation spreads everywhere like wildfire, and i've been having major trouble wading through false journalism to get actual updates on everything. some resources i've compiled for myself and anyone who's interested:
fact sheet: israel and palestine conflict (october 2023)
live updates - intense israeli bombardments strike gaza as the war rages on
a dangerous new phase in the israeli-palestinian conflict - expert commentary by the foreign policy research institute (FPRI)
the arab-israeli war of 1948
the 1967 arab-israeli war
the 1973 arab-israeli war
mohammed el-kurd is one of very few writers whose twitter i check for updates.
ghassan abu sitta is a doctor on-site who's also been reporting about the atrocities transpiring in gaza.
also some palestinian aid orgs to donate to. if you have some money to spare/know anyone who does, please consider donating/spreading the word:
palestine children's relief fund
palestine red crescent society
medical aid for palestine
gaza emergency appeal
donate to arab.org with one click
the middle east children's alliance gaza emergency fund
help UNRWA USA reach their palestinian aid fundraiser goal
