Gaza has Entered its Final Death March
The genocide has not ended. The “ceasefire” is a lie. The project of annihilation continues. But it has entered a new and dire phase. One that extracts from us all an even bigger portion of our humanity.

I am desperately worried for 20 yr old Qesser Zuhrah who is dangerously ill at HMP Bronzefield. It remains very unclear how soon she will be transferred to hospital.
Qesser is on day 46 of hunger strike. It should not take this long to get the help she needs.

We are still in a world where Palestinians are murdered and it’s just accepted as normal. We are fated to be murdered, there’s nothing unnatural or noteworthy about it. State violence and colonialism kills invisibly.
It doesn’t have to be like this, though.
