Hope Despite Dark Horizons
Sometimes - the weight of watching Gaza closely settles so heavily on me - that I understand why people choose to look away.
Every notification is another death or serious need being unmet. Another impossible decision between food, medicine, clean water, or shelter.
Every day, the temptation to believe that "nothing we do matters" whispers a…

When Broken Bodies Become a Burden
It's been a month since I last wrote here. While swallowed by fever and fragility - I had gentle lights in quiet rooms, medicine, rest, clean sheets, water, and the profound luxury of peace.
Yet, all through those weeks of my own chronic suffering, I kept returning to one thought:
"Many people in Gaza are sick like me, but they cannot p…

Faith Under Siege
There is a dimension of this genocide that is difficult to see from the outside because it lives within the humble routines of faith.
For Palestinians in Gaza, faith is woven directly into daily life. It shapes how a person wakes, how they cleanse themselves, how they measure the hours, how communities gather, and how the dead are honored.
From the ear…

Evidence Without Action
There is a particular fracture that happens when you watch your own life become footage broadcast to the world in real time. It is not only destruction that wounds; it is the translation of destruction into language that feels detached from the people living inside it.
Before the war, screens were ordinary and woven into daily routine. They carried …

Cohesion Among Collapse
I expected and feared that famine would be the thing that made them fall apart, but instead it brought them closer.
In tents & homes already holding too many people, more kept arriving - cousins, neighbors, someone’s aunt, children who simply followed a familiar face. Without a question being asked, a space would be cleared, blankets would be shifted, portions wou…

Suspended Time
Time did not move normally in Gaza. By several months into the genocide, time itself had become unreliable. Conversations began, broke off, and resumed days later. Continuity felt optional. People remembered the moment a building fell, the sound just before the silence, the way the air folded inward. Dates blurred. Weeks collapsed. Time no longer passed. It pressed.
I was t…

Ras ‘Ein al-Auya
This weekend, a historic Palestinian village was ethnically cleansed. I want to take a moment to honor the people of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja (رأس عين العوجا), and to recognize their legacy with the dignity it deserves.
Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja was a Palestinian Bedouin herding community in the Jordan Valley, just north of Jericho, built around the springs of Ein al-Auja. Life there moved with the land - grazing…

Refined Anger
When I spent real time talking to high school and college-age Palestinians, the conversations didn’t stay on the surface for long. We moved quickly past polite explanations - into what they actually thought about what was being done to them.
These were the first times their anger showed itself clearly, and it came through as focused, specific, sharpened by suffering, and mo…

Teenagers Too Soon
I started noticing the elementary school-aged children in the way they carried themselves. The uncomfortable quiet where questions should be. They didn’t move through the room like kids who expected protection - they moved like people who had already learned it wasn’t coming.
These are the years where a child is supposed to stretch outward into themselves. They’re mean…

Innocence Interrupted
In the beginning, the children appeared quietly - leaning into the frame, tugging on sleeves, showing toys. Sweet, gentle children who just wanted to live. They showed me the corners of rooms that still felt like theirs. Some climbed into laps just out of view.
Over those first days and weeks, as the children got used to me, they began showing up on livestreams more…

Men Inside of a Genocide
As the women spoke carefully in livestreams, the men remained at the edges. At first they watched quietly, attentively, and deliberately. It was obvious who they were: fathers, husbands, brothers - the men of Gaza.
They were not there for comfort, but to assess.
In the beginning, there was no aid. Before any discussion of resources, fundraising, or survival logi…

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
