7:17 PM @arabsofcanada “While the United Nations and the world celebrate World Children’s Day on this day, November 20th, the zionist Nazi occupation, its government, and fascist army continue their horrific criminal series in committing appalling massacres against our children in the Gaza Strip over 45 days through savage bombing that targeted them while they were sleeping safely in their homes, or playing in the yards of their schools which turned into overcrowded displacement centers, or practicing their hobbies with their peers in the alleys and neighborhoods of their cities and camps, where more than 5,500 children have risen as martyrs, and thousands have fallen wounded and injured. The number of wounded among our people in the Gaza Strip exceeds 30,000, 80% of them children and women, and more than 1,800 children are still missing.
The terrorist occupation also insists on deepening the pain of our sick, wounded, injured, and premature children, through the siege of hospitals, their bombing, and systematic destruction, and through policies of starvation, thirst, and displacement, in a flagrant violation of all human values, customs, laws, and international charters.” 10:06 AM @shaunking In part because Western media won’t even mention his name, his story, or his murder, I want to take a moment to honor a man called “The Godfather of Palestinian journalists,” the revered and beloved mentor to hundreds, @belajadallah - who was the leader of @press_house_palestine.
Without fail, every journalist I know in Gaza has said that he was like a father to them. Belal was known as a warm, compassionate listener. An encourager. A cultivator of dreams. A teacher. A coach. A guide.
He made young Palestinian journalists believe in themselves. He made them stop thinking of themselves as people that “want to be journalists” and helped them to see and believe that they ARE journalists.
He gave journalists a home. A friend they knew would always be there.
And, in an instant, this kind, loving soul was murdered by a bomb from the United States and Israel.
Belal was the 60th Palestinian journalist murdered by the United States and Israel.
I will find a way for us to honor him. 8:57 AM @hindkhoudary Dear World,
This is Hind Khoudary, a 28-year-old Palestinian journalist from the heart-wrenching Gaza Strip. I am a daughter, a sister to eight brothers, and a wife.
Choosing to stay here is a choice to witness and report on the unbearable reality my city endures. Forced from my home, alongside countless Palestinians, we strive for the basics – clean food and water – without transportation or electricity.
I am not a superhero; I am shattered from the inside. The loss of relatives, friends, and colleagues weighs heavy on my soul. Israeli forces ravaged my city, reducing homes to rubble. Over 3,000 civilians still lie beneath the remnants.
My heart is aching, and my spirit is fragile. Since Oct. 7, journalists have been targets; Israel seeks to stifle our voices.
I miss my family.
But surrender is not an option. I will continue to report, to breathe life into the stories of my people until my last breath. Please, do not let the world forget Palestine. We are weary, and your voice is our strength.
Remember our voices, remember our faces.
With heavy hearts,
Hind Khoudary
Gaza
November 2023 3:40 AM @eid_yara I am a human before being a journalist. I cannot separate myself from what’s happening back home. It’s my home where I was born and I grew up for most of my life. It’s where I took my first breath, learnt my first word, ate my first meal, loved for the first time. It’s where all my memories are. It’s the place that I love the most in this world. The people who are being killed are my family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, classmates, and loved ones. The places that are being wiped out are the places I grew up with and in. My house, my schools, my special cafes, my favourite restaurants, my unique spots around the city, my beach, and above all - my homeland. They are not only massacring us, but wiping our history, our churches, mosques and landmarks. They are erasing a whole people who fought for their lives since they were born. Everything about my life revolves about Palestine. My friends at uni used to call me Yara Palestine because “I speak too much about Palestine all the time” and that’s becauseI have been fighting for my existence since the day I was born. I am proud of being called Yara Palestine. I never really took pictures of myself while having a break down but today I decided to take one to share with the world that we are humans, we have emotions and feelings, dreams and ambitions, just like you. I am not always as strong as I portray myself. I breakdown. I cry. I panic. I’ve been mainly showing you strong Yara that keeps on reporting, and educating western journalists but I’m not sharing with you what Yara the human is feeling. All the battles in my head, all the worst case scenarios (some which already happened), all the fear and the trauma, all the anger and pain. I have never been in this much pain in my whole life. Despite living through 6 aggressions on Gaza (only 2 of which I was abroad), I’ve never gotten used to this suffering, this pain, this shock. I want you to know that you’re only seeing 1% of what’s actually happening in Gaza. Despite all of our efforts to show you our genocide, we are unable to completely convey the reality of what’s happening. Don’t get used to our genocide. Please don’t!
