the prospect of martial law makes a man giddy
Hegseth's demeanor is bizarre. He's almost on the verge of laughing while talking about the shooting of two National Guardsmen. He seems elated.

Gaza became the place with the highest level of education in the Arab world, with zero illiteracy.
Today, for the third year in a row, Gazans are deprived of education no schools, no universities. Israel has destroyed them all.

My baby turned one month old…
A whole month inside this tent, struggling with the cold and the lack of basic needs.
I’m trying my best to provide milk, diapers, and a little comfort for him, but it’s getting harder every day.
Any support would be a huge mercy for my little baby.
