Agreed, @afalkhatib.bsky.social. However, the shame lies with the shallow movement of fakes who use Palestinians as pawns as readily as Hamas does.

This war is taking an immense toll on the people of Gaza. Death, destruction, displacement. How much more can we take? When will it end?

Hamas's Islamist agenda has hijacked Palestinian national aspirations, sabotaged any prospects for peace, squandered our resources, got tens of thousands of our people killed. It has failed the Palestinian people in Gaza and beyond.

Within a generation, Gaza can break free: not just from war, but from the armed resistance ideology that keeps feeding it. A new model of Palestinian self-governance is possible, one that prioritizes dignity over destruction and prosperity over propaganda.
This future isn’t a fantasy. It’s a choice.

I chose to break free from the endless cycle of hate and revenge. Honoring my family’s memory means rejecting violence on all sides and resisting the pull of rage, even as my community enforces conformity with narratives that are unhelpful to the just aspirations of the Palestinian people.

I’m done with the same narratives that only paint us as victims, denying our role in shaping our reality.
Yes, we’ve suffered—but we’ve also been failed by our leadership and trapped by enforced conformity.

By its own rules of engagement, the IDF wouldn’t have tolerated this conduct in past Gaza wars. Those who upheld its god-level morality must face the horror of what unfolded. The NYT investigated the IDF’s actions after Oct. 7—these are their findings.

Arrogance and class divisions between diaspora Palestinians VS. those in the land or between "urbanites" in major metropolitan areas VS. in suburban & rural places or "Falaheen" and Bedouins is a source of tension & part of the dysfunction within the Palestinian national project.

It’s been 16 months since Hamas plunged Gaza into catastrophe, yet not a single Arab government has publicly demanded their removal. Why? (1/4)

"Palestinians do not represent a problem to be solved or a cause to be won; they are people," writes @afalkhatib.bsky.social. "Yet it seems, in the wake of Trump’s announcement, that many are intent on not seeing them as such."
Trump has kicked off a new wave of dehumanizing Palestinians. Let's remember who the real enemies are
President Trump's proposal for Gaza has set off a mass dehumanization of Palestinians on social media — with a real cost.

In an opinion piece for the Globe and Mail, I argue that Palestinians in Gaza have no future under Hamas, describing how the ceasefire is merely the first step, but without bold action, may become the last & would merely freeze the conflict.

Many Palestinians in Gaza are posting this photo to expose Hamas's manipulation of camera angles to overstate/inflate its supposed level of support. I said repeatedly that Hamas is going to pay, manipulate, & herd young men & boys into "victory" celebrations & hostage handovers.

Hamas's "Al-Aqsa Flood" has been a complete operational failure. But its propaganda succeeded in conquering Columbia University, college campuses, Western capitals, leftist circles, NGOs, most of the Arab world, the "pro-Palestine" community, "indy" media, activists & journalists

Hamas released a propaganda video capturing the spectacle during which it handed over 3 young Israeli women to the Red Cross as part of the ceasefire/hostage deal in Gaza. In it, the terror group offers a certificate of release to the 3 young women who also received a gift bag w/ Hamas’ logo on it

Shame on the Red Cross for being a willing participant in Hamas's despicable theatrics. Parading young Israeli female hostages in front of a mob of militants & local residents who were herded into participating in the spectacle is terrible for the women, and portrays Gazans in a horrendous light.

Netanyahu, the IDF, the war, and "total victory" slogans have all failed. Israel squandered billions, lost its international standing, lost hundreds of soldiers, acted arrogantly & shunned US advice on counterinsurgency strategy, only for Hamas to resume complete control of Gaza.

Hamas's methodology: fight in flip-flops & civilian clothes, hide in schools, hospitals, tunnels, set up aid theft/looting gangs, leave 2 million Gazans to face a ferocious war on their own, only to miraculously find your clean uniforms, guns & cars when a ceasefire is announced.

Aljazeera documented how Hamas's al-Qassam Brigade fighters emerged from the Nasser Hospital complex with their weapons and vehicles in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, as soon as the ceasefire went into effect, similar to how they emerged from displacement tents 3 days ago.
