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.

Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful

"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"

"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"

"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"

Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.

Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

One of the things that pisses me off most about this genocide and overall occupation is how many people say it's so complicated and there's so much nuance and there isn't one easy solution. This is one of the simplest things I have ever seen. Zionists invaded palestine in 1947-48. They have occupied it for 76 years while taking more and more land. They kidnap and torture and massacre Palestinians day in day out for those 76 years. They control every aspect of Palestinian life, including their water and medical care. And now they are committing another genocide against them. Where is the complication? What is hard to understand? "Well, Jewish people need a place where they won't be discriminated against" I absolutely agree. So make every country in the world safe for Jewish people. Fight against anti Semitism across the world. Don't commit a genocide and set up an ethnostate.

Mirza Ghalib :

Sharab peene de masjid mein baith kar, ya wo jagah bata jahan khuda nahi

Iqbal :

Masjid khuda ka ghar hai koi peene ki jagah nahi, tu kaafir ke dil mein ja wahan khuda nahi

Ahmad Faraz :

Kafir ke dil se aaya hoon main ye dekh kar wahan par jagah nahi,

Khuda maujood hai wahan bhi kafir ko pata nahi

Wasi :

Khuda maujood hai puri duniya mein kahin bhi jagah nahi ,

Tu jannat mein ja wahan peena mana nahi

Saqi :

Peeta hoon gham e duniya bhulane ke liye,

Jannat mein kahan gham hai wahan peene mein maza nahi

Meer :

Hum peete hai maze ke liye bewajah badnaam gham hai ,

Puri botal peekar dekho phir duniya kya jannat se kam hai...

Why my heart skipped the beat, I recalled. It was your memory that teased me, I recalled.

It is tough today to even brace myself, oh friend! strange is my perplexing state; it’s you who I recalled.

Day was passing already giving some tough time, and then there’s your promise of evening, I recalled.

Those forgotten promises of devotion of yours, one would indeed become lifeless, if recalled

Once again crossed my sight – countless people, Once more some city of ecstasy, I recalled.

Even I would have revealed the state of heart, was only by the time you left that I recalled.

Sitting in a shadow of tranquility today “Nasir”, I cried a lot, of you what I care, I recalled.
