Israel mistook three hostages for Palestinian civilians and killed them.
Israel killed 20,000 civilians and counting. I wonder how many Palestinians of these 20,000 killed will make it on the front page of CNN, or any news outlet for that matter.

Response: "Not to be confused with the 20,000 Palestinians killed very much on purpose." [@/ fatimasal82 on X. 12/15/23.]
Hey, everyone, This is Bisan from Gaza. I'm still alive and these are some figures you need to know to know what the situation is in Gaza after 70 days of continuous bombing.
So, 25,000 children became orphans after they lost one or both parents in the bombing. Nine out of ten people cannot eat every day and people in Gaza lost 70% of the water before the war. By the way, even before the war, We had so many problems and so many issues with the water: It was not clean, not drinkable, it was not enough for washing or drinking.
More than 25,0000 were killed, either found or still under the rubble, 12,0000 of them being children. Yes, you can now tell what is happening. By the way, 22 hospitals are out of service, more than 100 medical centers are out of service, more than 100 ambulances are out of service, and more than 300 doctors or medical staff were killed.
You can't survive this. You can't have medical care, you can't eat, you can't drink. You can't have anything in the Gaza Strip.
In WWII, in 6 years, 67 journalists were killed
In the Vietnam war, in 20 years, 63 journalists were killed
In Gaza, in 70 days, 89 journalists were killed
The Israeli army is just shooting anyone they think is Palestinian, much the same way that Israel is indiscriminately bombing all of Gaza, including the “safe zones” where they have directed noncombatant civilians to go right before they bomb them anyway. It’s war crimes, plain and simple.
To this day people will cry over the knowledge and works destroyed when the library of Alexandria was burned down.
And yet no tears are shed as Palestinian archives and libraries are bombed.
Saint Porphyrius Church, a structure built in the 5th century and the 3rd oldest church in the world has been bombed.
It's not an accident.
Israel aren't simply killing Palestinians, they are trying to erase that there ever were Palestinians in the first place.
Destroying their livelihoods, trying to to destroy their culture and history and pretend this land was never there's.
It's easy to deny someone's existence when there's no record of them.
Which is why it's so important to look at the atrocities and bear witness to what's happening.
But to also recognise that Palestine is more than it's suffering.
There is a living breathing culture, of art, history, literacy which all come from the Palestinians.
Traditions they've carried for centuries.
So while we mourn the dead, we shall fight for the living. Fight for the preservation of their crafts, amplify their voices as they speak on their culture.
Palestinian history and culture is alive. And no matter how much the world wants to erase that, they cannot and will not.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — More than half a million people in Gaza — a quarter of the population — are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel’s bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack. The extent of the population’s hunger eclipsed even the near-famines in Afghanistan and Yemen of recent years, according to figures in the report. The report warned that the risk of famine is “increasing each day,” blaming the hunger on insufficient aid entering Gaza. “It doesn’t get any worse,’’ said Arif Husain, chief economist for the U.N.’s World Food Program. “I have never seen something at the scale that is happening in Gaza. And at this speed.” ... At the start of the war, Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, medicine and fuel into the territory. After U.S. pressure, it allowed a trickle of aid in through Egypt. But U.N. agencies say only 10% of Gaza’s food needs has been entering for weeks. (Dec. 21, 2023 | Source)
DON'T LOOK AWAY.
The ease in which Palestinian men are dehumanized. People saw those lineups of halfnaked men and there was relatively no international uproar. Is sexual violence against our men permissible for some reason as long as you write them off as "terrorists"? Humiliation is part of the colonizers' playbook after all. But this is a complex issue of two politically equal entities so don't worry about it.
That last line was sarcasm.
Tweet by Director-General of the World Health Organization. DON'T LOOK AWAY. The carnage must stop.
