Hind Rajab's mom on Columbia students naming Hind's Hall:
'I started crying because I wanted all of these movements & support to come while Hind was still alive.'
Hopes protests don't stop till permanent ceasefire.
'Wake up now! Why are others like Hind still going through this?'

There’s nothing I want to see less now than a bunch of disgustingly rich people wearing stupid clothes at a gala in NY while tiny kids are having their faces blown open with American-made bombs.

Doing two shows in NYC (so far) and really dearly grateful + excited to read w these folks on the 21st :)

If I ever get killed at some point, if any voice from Gaza you’re following gets silenced, please keep speaking up for those still enduring this genocide, those living under this illegal occupation. Do not stop until the whole of Palestine is free.

what we are describing is not theoretical. what we allowed in palestine is literally coming home to us by way of the police, and returned IDF soldiers.

If a ceasefire is reached right now, the UN estimates that we would need a century to rebuild the Gaza Strip. A century to undo what Israel has done. 100 years. That’s 3 generations of Palestinians trapped in this genocide, even after reaching a ceasefire.

It’s literally hard to imagine a situation more starkly & obviously black and white than the utter horror being inflicted on the Palestinians in Gaza by the Zionist entity, those still pontificating or worse are irredeemable ghouls who’ve completely lost their humanity and souls.

Sumud is often translated into English as “resilience”, but this goes way beyond what that word is able to convey. An awe-inspiring commitment to their land, people and desire to continue life.

A beautiful spring morning at the University of Toronto.

The pro-Israel counter protestors at UCLA were organized by a group funded by billionaire Bill Ackman and friends, including Jessica Seinfeld (wife of the erstwhile comedian Jerry Seinfeld).
