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.

It’s not enough that Gazans have been stripped of their land, their homes, and a lifetime of hard work even education has been taken from them.
Education was the one thing Gazans held on to the most; our parents sold everything they owned so we could learn.

Been reflecting on the wild rush to canonize him in the weeks that followed his death and shut out all proper appraisal of who he was, and I keep returning to this TNC piece. You cannot enforce martyrdom.

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.
