We see you…
Starving an entire population
Shooting children in the head
Bombing hospitals
Executing medics
Kidnapping for your torture prisons
Using chemical weapons
Targeting journalists
Blocking medicine
Burning people alive
Killing, killing, killing

Everyone knows who
We won’t forget
We see you…

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a political prisoner under inhumane conditions and torture in Israeli military prison. And Israel shot more people today in Gaza. The injustices and genocide haven’t stopped with a hostage swap.

Human rights advocates and healthcare workers are still calling for the release of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan Hospital, who has been detained under harsh conditions by Israel for nearly a year.

@mark-carney.bsky.social how can Canada recognize the State of Palestine without recognizing the crimes that Israel commits against them; welcome the release of Israeli hostages, but not Palestinian; acknowledge Israeli deaths, but not genocide in Gaza? The double standards are racist and appalling.

This is the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner, a supporter of a genocidal terrorist state.

She’s got the first half right though… the values of the West are violent settler colonialism, supremacy, and greed.

The 20 Point Peace Plan is warmed over Balfour Declaration. It has little to do with self-determination in Palestine. It’s a step back from The Final Solution, but it is still simmering genocide because disaster capitalism is about to be unleashed on Gaza, whose culture has been obliterated.

An end to genocide, and allowing aid into Gaza should not be up for negotiation. The world should have stopped Israel long ago.

The Trump-backed Gaza ceasefire deal "is not a peace agreement," says Palestinian human rights lawyer Diana Buttu. "This is not an end to the occupation."

Though Israel and its allies have derided Palestinian resistance groups for holding hostages in Gaza, Israel itself is holding thousands of Palestinian hostages, both dead and alive, in its own prisons.

At least 250 Palestinian bodies have not been returned to their families.
