“As Israel’s mass slaughter of Palestinians unfolds before the eyes of the world, it does so with the full backing of the US. All rhetoric about concern for Palestinians is disgusting theater. The US veto of the UN ceasefire resolution should definitively end this sick charade. There is only one reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the past 2 months of US policy: Joe Biden wants Israel’s destruction of Gaza—with thousands of children dead— to unfold exactly how it is unfolding.” (-Jeremy Scahill)

“I’ve just learned that Dr. Refaat Alareer, along with several family members, has been murdered in an Israeli airstrike.

I’m in tears and sick to my stomach as I write this. I had the great honor to spend time with Refaat during my time in Gaza, including harvesting olives with him in 2015 in his home neighborhood of Shujaiya. I visited him in the Islamic University of Gaza, where he used English-language literature and poetry to teach his students the difference between Judaism and Zionism, equipping them with the mental tools to resist Zionist propaganda that seeks to conflate the two. Refaat was a guiding light as a I documented life and death for my documentary, Killing Gaza. He helped me gain access to elders in his neighborhood who provided testimony of shocking Israeli war crimes. In one of our last exchanges, I told him that, in my time in Gaza, I felt as though I were documenting the Warsaw Ghetto before its liquidation by Nazis. I promised him that his writings would be featured in a future Victims of Zionism museum. I didn’t imagine that would be my last message to him. Refaat Alareer embraced everything good and pure about Gaza and Palestine. He will not be forgotten and his legacy will live on for many generations to come. Rest in peace, Refaat.” (-Dan Cohen)

GENOCIDE BLUES

If you’re like me, you already know about the strike on Monday, don’t go to work, don’t buy anything, take your social media down and hit the streets with colorful signs. I hurt my back moving heavy shit around with a dolly, it’s cold where I am, in the low twenties, and I gotta do all kinds of indentured servitude related work and heavy lifting shit in the cold this week, but you know, we should not complain about our little lives of poverty, while all those familes in Palestine are being mass murdered by the evil empire. If you care about human rights at all, you gotta get off the fence and shame your so called representatives and boycott their donor class conspirators and help stop the sadistic brutality and giddy violence of Biden and his evil henchmen. Of course, Trump will be just the same, we can’t vote these assholes out of office, they control the whole shitshow. So yeah, you gotta protest and vote with your wallet, boycott, if nothing else. Hit the genociders where it counts, boycott Starbucks, etc. Peace and love to all the good ones, you know who you are. (-The General)

“Israel wants us to be closed, isolated—to push us to the extreme. It doesn’t want us to be educated. It doesn’t want us to see ourselves as part of a universal struggle against oppression. They don’t want us to be educated or to be educators.”” (-Refatt Alareer)

“Land back for Palestinians and all colonized people who are the rightful stewards of the land.

Colonizers destroy what indigenous people lovingly safeguard.” (-Amanda Gelender)

“Israel media did not show the mass murder of Palestinian children and innocent civilians, or the mass destruction of Gaza. But Israeli media has no qualms about showing these savage images of Israeli occupation forces detaining and stripping civilians taken from a UN shelter in Gaza today. This evokes some of humanity’s darkest passages of history. It is well past time that the world speaks as one and demands – and enforces – an immediate and permanent #ceasefire.” (-Ambassador Husam Zomlot)

“Israel is wiping out historical records in Gaza, including some that are “more than a hundred years old.”

This is what a genocide is: not just erasing a people, but their history and civilization.” (-Tamara Nassar)

Loving Judaism & hating Zionism isn’t hard for me because Judaism is thousands of years old and the Zionist national movement is from the 1890s. My people have a culture, history, and faith that spans an eternity before Zionists came to both colonize Palestine & hijack Judaism” (-Amanda Gelender)

“Have you ever considered thinking about why people are angry? Or are you just completely blind to the suffering of a people going through genocide and the charlatans in positions of power who are enabling and whitewashing it?” (-James Bradford)

“The white sense of entitlement to literally everything—

“The Democratic Party and Biden are responsible for the Gaza genocide perpetrated by Israel.” (-Refaat In Gaza)

“The images that Israel claims are of fighters arrested and stripped in north Gaza include a journalist and his family, two teenage boys, one United Nations employee, and the director of an UNRWA school.” (-Lowkey)

“Notice how it’s not sexual abuse when Israel strips hundreds of Palestinians down to their underwear and blindfolds them. It’s not about victims, it’s about who gets to be a victim.” (-Remi Kenazi)

“Rafaat Alareer was hero.

Bari Weiss has blood on her hands. History will absolve those who stood with Palestine, and punish those who do Israel’s genocidal bidding.” (-Touseff D. Hammash)

“Refaat was a freedom fighter in the war for truth and justice. He was a hero and will be remembered by history. His martyrdom at the hands of the genocidal enemy is devastating to so many of us who had the great fortune of having known this great man.” (-Maureen Murphy)

“I’ve known Refaat Alareer (@itranslate123) since I was 17. He taught me my first English writing course. More than a teacher, he was a mentor, a friend, and he truly cared about his students beyond the classroom. His passion was the English language, but he didn’t teach it as a means of disassociating from society, as is common among many English-speaking upper and middle classes in the third world. For Refaat, English was a tool of liberation, a way to break free from Gaza’s prolonged siege, a teleportation device that defied Israel’s fences and the intellectual, academic, and cultural blockade of Gaza. When Refaat taught English to me and my friends, he ensured we read Malcolm X, or el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz, as he often reminded us to call him. He emphasized that learning a language requires understanding its culture and being critical and mindful that language is not free from questions of power and representation. Refaat’s journey in learning and teaching was filled with struggles. His life was challenging, marked by significant family losses. Yet, he persevered, fought back, and wrote back. One day, many of us, as Refaat’s students, will share parts of his story. However, today, let’s remember that Refaat has a family in Gaza mourning a loving father and husband. If we owe Refaat anything, it is to continue our fight until a ceasefire is achieved, until the destruction in Gaza ceases. So, #CeasefireNOW! ” (-Jehad Abusilum)

I’m extra depressed by the reports that Israel targeted and killed @itranslate123 , an academic and translator. He was such a vital source from the ground in Gaza. If he was targeted, this is another case of Israel killing the people documenting their atrocities.” (-William Lafi Youmans)

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the tragic murder of Dr Ayman Jerjawi Dr. Ayman, an exceptional anesthesia specialist, was killed today in an Israeli bombing. He remained in Beit Lahia, dedicating himself to treating patients at Kamal Idwan Hospital until last breath” (-Younis Tirawi)
