If We Must Die
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If we must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursèd lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
Poem by Claude McKay

18 February 2024
All parts of the Strip are in a food crisis. In every region, people are starving to death, especially children. A very small amount of food aid has been entering via Rafah and (until recently) Kareem Abu Salem/Kerem Shalom crossings. Rafah remains somewhat open, but still severely limited in what the occupation “allows” to enter. KAS is currently disabled due to “Israeli protesters” actively preventing the entrance of aid.
However, there is no open border crossing into north Gaza. The IOF has it completely blockaded, and has since late October/early November 2023. Practically no food aid has entered the north. On a few occasions (you can’t count how many on your fingers), pitifully small loads of flour (we’re talking a single van or small truck at a time) have entered via the blockade line south of Gaza City. However, as soon as people show up to receive the aid, they are bombed and/or shot by the IOF. Dozens of people have been killed in pursuit of aid the occupation never intended to let them reach.
It is primarily for this reason that northern Gaza is fully in the throes of a famine. Journalist Ismail goes into detail about the districts within northern Gaza, which ones are worst-affected, and how they came to be so. A full English translation was kindly provided by Instagram user semsem390, which will be reposted below.
The linked video is a copy of Ismail’s original footage, which has had English subtitles added by the account translating_gaza on Instagram. You can use the English subtitles from TG or the translation from semsem390, whichever works best.
What are the areas affected by the famine imposed by the occupying forces? And what are the areas located in the northern Gaza Strip? We have talked a lot but have not clarified what they are; this map below illustrates the areas.
To the north are the northern governorates of Gaza, adjacent to the central Gaza Strip, which in turn is bordered by the area controlled by the occupying forces. All of these areas from Gaza City are within the northern region. Continuing on the map, this is the central region, followed by Khan Younis, and this is Rafah. The famine is located in the northern governorates and the northern region, with approximately 700,000 inhabitants.
Unfortunately, all these residents are suffering from true famine. No assistance enters this area as the occupying forces consistently prevent aid from entering through the Beit Salim checkpoint and [Kuwait Roundabout]. They also open fire on anyone attempting to approach [Kuwait Roundabout] to bring in aid. Unfortunately, the vast region that encompasses almost half of the Gaza Strip is now at risk without a call for help. This was an explanatory video showing you the northern region.

Across Gaza, residential areas have been left ruined, previously busy shopping streets reduced to rubble, universities destroyed and farmlands churned up, with tent cities springing up on the southern border to house many thousands of people left homeless.
About 1.7 million people - more than 80% of Gaza's population - are displaced, with nearly half crammed in the far southern end of the strip, according to the United Nations.
Further analysis, by BBC Verify, reveals the scale of destruction of farmland, identifying multiple areas of extensive damage.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said it is targeting both Hamas fighters and "terror infrastructure", when challenged over the scale of damage.
Now, satellite data analysis obtained by the BBC shows the true extent of the destruction. The analysis suggests between 144,000 and 175,000 buildings across the whole Gaza Strip have been damaged or destroyed. That's between 50% and 61% of Gaza's buildings.
[…]
"Israeli forces targeted residential complexes, especially in the downtown Khan Younis area," said Rawan Qaddah, a 20-year-old resident, who has been displaced and has lost contact with her family.
She named schools among the many buildings which had been damaged. Some were now being used to house displaced people temporarily.
[…]
The IDF has repeatedly justified its actions by noting that Hamas deliberately embeds itself in civilian areas and explained destruction of buildings in the light of targeting fighters. But questions have been asked about destruction of buildings seemingly firmly in the control of the IDF.
One example was the Israa University, in northern Gaza - initially badly damaged shortly before being blown up completely in what looked like a massive controlled explosion. The video was widely shared on social media and the IDF says the approval process for the blast is now being investigated.
Many of Gaza's historic sites have suffered extensive damage, including the al-Omari Mosque originally built in the 7th Century.
Mr Scher, one of the academics who worked on the Gaza damage assessment, said it stands out compared with other war zones he's analysed.
"We've done work over Ukraine, we've also looked at Aleppo and other cities, but the extent and the pace of damage is remarkable. I've never seen this much damage appear so quickly."

In 2022, a 4500 year old statue of the Canaanite goddess Anat was unearthed in Khan Younis, Gaza strip, by a farmer and was stored in the Qasr Al-Basha Museum. [via BBC]
Qasr Al-Basha was originally a palace constructed in the 13th century by the Mamluk Sultan and was used as a residence for him and a seat of power for the Ottomans. In modern times, it has been used as a museum.
Israel destroyed Qasr Al-Basha. 4500 years of history, gone.
What did Anat? What did Qasr Al-Basha do? What did the hundreds of other, pricless historical relics do? The answer is: it was Palestinian history and it existed. Israel does not want Palestinian history to exist, because if Palestinian history exists, then it challenges the insanity driven claim that settlers are somehow more deserving of the land than its native people.
If somehow the 25 thousand deaths, over 10 thousand of which are children, isn’t enough to convince you that Israel is a terrorist state, is the total destruction of 4500 year old history enough to convince you that Israel is a terrorist state?

A new phase of attacks has started in Israel.
As a reminder, this is the Gaza Strip:
Tumblr media
In the first weeks, Israel ordered all Gazans in the north to evacuate to the south or be considered enemy combatants.
On December 2nd, Israel started to further isolate the bottom third from the center and of course the north as well. The survivors were forced to crowd into Khan Younis and Rafah, which is right up against the border with Egypt.
On January 22nd, Israel started attacking Khan Younis, again pushing people even more south, into Rafah, which at this point is a mass tent city as people simply wait for aid or death.
It goes without saying that at each "phase", many people have been killed. There are also still survivors in each area, continuing to face violence and an extreme lack of any kind of food, water, or healthcare the more north you go. So of course more people are congregating out of necessity down south in Rafah.
Now it's their turn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Congress will vote on sending $17.6 billion (an increase of $3 billion from the original $14.4 billion pledged a couple of months ago) to Israel to do more of this.
If you're in the US, make your voice heard.

"This story was originally written in Arabic by a 14-year-old Palestinian girl in Gaza named Lujayn. Along with one of Lujayn’s relatives, I have translated it into English. She initially wrote this story for her mother and then decided to share it with the world. It recounts her family’s forced displacement from the house where they were sheltering in Khan Younis. This was the fourth time Lujayn had been displaced since Israel’s assault on Gaza began.
Lujayn describes an increasingly common tactic of the Israeli military in her narrative: bulldozing buildings with people still inside. In addition, Lujayn’s story serves as a warning to the world about the dangers of Israel’s threatened invasion of Rafah. If she were displaced again, she and her family would have nowhere to go.
Lujayn is a brilliant student. She had been planning to go to university to study mathematics. But there are no more universities left in Gaza, and Lujayn has no permanent home. All she can do right now is survive and tell her story. For Lujayn as for many Palestinians, storytelling is a form of resistance. She asks the international community to take action to stop the Israeli military from killing her friends and threatening to kill her mother, her family, and herself. She particularly asks that the people of the United States of America pressure their elected representatives to stop funding Israel’s genocide.
—Rebecca Ruth Gould
.....
I don’t know if the war will stop while we’re still alive, but what matters is that there are many people resisting with what is more important than weapons. Every day, a father walks under bombardment to feed us. A mother stands against bulldozers and tanks hoping to protect her daughter, knowing that even if she dies, what matters is that her daughter will live. A grandson carries his grandmother and never thinks of leaving her behind for even a moment. A sister pulls her brother out from under the rubble, away from death, and tries to save him.
Mom, this is my country, this is my people. Every generation of Palestinians will pass these lessons onto the next.
—LUJAYN, Rafah, March 2024

e-sims are desperately needed in gaza!! follow the directions in the pictures and please please if you have the money buy an esim. doing so is lifesaving work!! you would be providing internet connection to not only civilians in gaza but journalists and those providing aid as well.
as a note, it's better to buy an esim then top it up as you notice it's running out, instead of waiting for it to run out then buy a new one, so the person that has your esim can continue using it!
i can verify that buying an esim and sending it out is safe and easy. i used nomad for mine.
image descriptions under the cut
source of tweet here
if youre still unsure, check out gazaesims.com for more information
1st image: An image with a red background and white text. It says, "We have LESS than 1000 eSIMS. And we send more than 2500 eSIMS everyday ANOTHER CALL TO ACTION!! WE NEED: Nomad (REGIONAL MIDDLE EAST) Promocode: NOMADCNG Holafly (ISRAEL + EGYPT) Promocode: HOLACNG
2nd image: An image with a red background and white text. The email provided and "please reply to your original email" have a black background textured like a stroke of paint or marker. The image says, "Please send QR screenshots to [email protected] If you have an UNACTIVATED ESIM for more than 3 weeks: Please Reply to your original email."
3rd image: A screenshot of a Tweet from @Mirna_elhelbawi. It contains three images. The first image is a screenshot of a text conversation. The second two images are instructions on how to send eSIMS to Gaza, with red backgrounds and white text. The tweet reads, "This is what your esim donation is doing. It is helping aid organizations to connect with their people on ground in Gaza! PLEASE DONATE WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF ESIMS! #ConnectingGaza"
4th image: A screenshot of a text conversation on an iPhone. There is a gray box containing a text from an unknown sender. It says, "Salam how are you? We are trying to send a truck of aid to Egypt to our teams in Gaza and we are having issues staying connected with them for this. Could you please send me
4 E sims for Nuseirat, Central Gaza 4 E sims for Khan Younis 4 E sims for Rafah" The blue box, sent in response, contains a text assumedly from @Mirna_elhelbawi, which says, "Sure"

While diplomatic discussions continue, no agreements are being reached, and Israeli attacks on Gaza have relentlessly continued.  In Khan Younis, the second-most southern district of Gaza, which was once deemed a safe zone, an Israeli sniper shot a 14-year-old girl while she was trying to get water, reported Al Jazeera, adding that she bled to death in the street.  The event showcases yet another example of how unsafe the situation in the city is. There are Israeli attack drones, intense bombing, and snipers on the rooftops. “Hours before this murder, a 40-year-old woman was also shot and killed by a sniper just metres away from the main gate of Nasser Hospital. She was trying to get food and water for her wounded son inside,” continued Al Jazeera.  Meanwhile, Israeli forces are reportedly preparing to expand their ground invasion into Rafah City, the southernmost area of Gaza, where about 1.9 million people are sheltering with nowhere left to flee. 
An intense bombing campaign is taking place in the city, particularly in the western part, reported Hani Mahmoud from the besieged enclave for Al Jazeera. Mahmoud noted that Israeli forces are targeting residential homes. One displaced family from the northern part of the Gaza Strip and another that had come from Khan Younis were killed in massive overnight air strikes that destroyed an entire building. In the early house of Thursday, people were still being removed from the rubble caused by the attack, which killed at least 14 people.  In the eastern part of Rafah, many people have been killed, and more residential homes have been destroyed. In central areas, there is a similar situation, with more than ten people killed in designated “safe areas.”
In a video recorded by Gaza-based journalist Hani Abu Rezeq, a Palestinian nurse is shown weeping as he holds his son in his arms at the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah in southern Gaza after finding him among the injured.  “My love, where is Mama?” Labd asks the young boy, whose head is bandaged after he was injured in an Israeli air strike on a home in Rafah; it is unclear if the man’s wife survived the strike. “This seems to be an indication that the ground invasion is expanding,” Mahmoud concluded.
The UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths has said that he is “extremely concerned” by Israeli plans for an expansion of their operations to Rafah, where displaced Palestinian civilians are living in dire conditions with nowhere to flee. “More than half of Gaza’s population is now crammed in Rafah, a town of originally 250,000 people right on Egypt’s doorstep. Their living conditions are abysmal – they lack the basic necessities to survive, stalked by hunger, disease and death,” Griffiths said in a statement today. “Further fighting in Rafah risks claiming the lives of even more people. It also risks further hampering a humanitarian operation already limited by insecurity, damaged infrastructure, and access restrictions,” he added. “To put it simply: This war must stop.” Similarly, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “especially alarmed” over reports that Israel is pledging an assault on Rafah.
“Such an action would exponentially increase what is already a humanitarian nightmare with untold regional consequences,” Guterres told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, according to Al Jazeera.

"Palestine, by Joe Sacco, was originally released in comic book form by the American publisher Fantagraphics 30 years ago, then published as a single volume by the company, and by Jonathan Cape in the UK in 2003. It was created by Sacco, a Maltese American journalist and cartoonist from Portland, Oregon, as a record of his own journeys around Gaza in 1991, and has since then won a clutch of awards and been included on university courses as a primer for the whole conflict. Edward Said, the Palestinian American academic and critic, said in his introduction to the book: “With the exception of one or two novelists and poets, no one has ever rendered this terrible state of affairs better than Joe Sacco.” "
In the bookshop today I saw Footnotes in Gaza, a comic made by this guy, Joe Sacco, that focuses on the 1956 Khan Younis massacre. I can't afford it rn so I didn't buy it but I took the time to read the first pages and it made me want to know more about the author. It seems that if you're looking for books on Palestinian history, specifically the history under the zionist occupation, his books are worth checking out !
