Gaza did not invade Israel on October 7, 2023—Hamas did. Framing it as "Gaza" serves only one purpose: to dehumanize and demonize the entire population of Gaza.

Asking Hamas to step down is a Palestinian necessity. No Arab country, no international body, and no real effort to rebuild Gaza will happen while Hamas remains in power.

The pro-Palestine movement must stop avoiding this truth.

It’s not relocate Gazans—it’s ethnically cleansing them, and ethnic cleansing must never be accepted under any circumstances.

Can you imagine we are now losing 50 to 100 Palestinian lives daily, and even the Israeli hostages may lose their lives—all because Netanyahu is delaying the deal to present it as a gift to President-elect Trump.

At the same time, the Israeli army is intensifying its bombing, determined to inflict as much destruction as possible before a deal is reached.

The news of a potential hostage deal brings hope to Gazans who desperately want it to happen, but the road to reaching it is filled with horror. Hamas has escalated its violence—killing and torturing its opponents to show they will continue the same reign of terror they've maintained for 17 years.

The Jordanian journalist Yasser Abu Hilala, former director of Al Jazeera, states that Hezbollah’s war with Israel washes their hands of the blood of innocent Syrians.

Hezbollah apologists are utterly depraved.

Hi, Bluesky people!
I feel like I’ve just wandered into a strange new neighborhood for the first time.
