8:56 PM @mohamed.h.masri A letter written by an Israeli hostage to Hamas leaders.. This is her own testimony on how they treated her.. This is a translation of the letter into English..⬇️ "23/11/2023 For the generals who have accompanied me in the last weeks, it looks like we're going to part tomorrow, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the kind humanity that you have shown towards My daughter, Emilia. You were like her parents, you invited her to your room every time she wanted. She admits that you are all her friends, and not only friends, but also dear and good loved ones. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the many hours you were like a nanny to her. Thank you for being patient with her and for giving her sweets, fruit and everything that you have, even if not much is available. Children don't have to be in captivity, but thanks to you and to other good people we knew on the way, my daughter considered herself a queen in Gaza. In general, she feels like she is the center of the world. We haven't met anyone in this long journey, even the leaders, that did not act gently and tenderly towards her. I will always be in debt to you, because she did not get out of here with psychological trauma. I will remember your kind behavior despite the difficult situation you were dealing with and the difficult losses that you endure here in Gaza. I wish that in this world we could be good friends, and I wish you all good health, and love for you and your family members. Thank you very much Daniel and Emilia"
8:42 AM @eye.on.palestine A new hate crime in USA … Three young Palestinian youngmen, Hisham Awartani, Tahseen Ali and Kenan Abdulhamid, students at Brown and other US universities, were shot last night while they were on their way to a family dinner in Burlington, USA. The young men were wearing the Palestinian keffiyeh and they are suffering from critical injuries. في جريمة كراهية جديدة في الولايات المتحدة: اعتداء مسلح على طلبة فلسطينيين في ولاية فيرمونت. أصيب ثلاثة طلاب فلسطينيين في ولاية فيرمونت الأمريكية بجروح متفاوتة بين البليغة والمتوسطة إثر إطلاق النار عليهم في جريمة كراهية جديدة في أمريكا. وأفادت مصادر عائلية بتعرض ثلاثة طلاب فلسطينيين يدرسون في جامعات أمريكية إلى اعتداء مسلح أثناء تواجدهم في مدينة بيرلنجتون في ولاية فيرمونت الأمريكية، وتم إدخالهم إلى وحدة العناية المكثفة في نفس المدينة. وتفيد التقارير الأولية أن هذا الاعتداء تم تصنيفه بأنه جريمة كراهية أتت على خلفية عنصرية نظراً لارتدائهم كوفيات فلسطينية وتحدثهم باللغة العربية. والطلاب الثلاث هم: هشام علي عورتاني، تحسين نائل علي، كنان محسن عبد الحميد.
12:05 AM @motaz_azaiza Someone reached out to me from an anonymous number and it’s not his first time, I answered the first time and he said things to me that actually happened. I picked up the call disregarding the inherent risks and peril of answering such a call amidst these incredibly unbelievable circumstances. Responding to such a call utterly means putting my life on the line. Through this conversation, the caller made it evident that the colonization forces had a clear agenda—to silence the Palestinian narrative by employing every possible means to obscure and manipulate it. Their aim is to wield control over media coverage, a crucial tool we employ objectively to convey the true events unfolding in Gaza. I’m so glad that I was able to document thier intent of the settler colonial project. he openly acknowledged and declared that, under the relentless bombardment, we were going to be compelled to seek refuge in Egypt instead of remaining here. The devastating consequence of this admission has been the near-destruction of my entire city—a deliberate effort to obliterate any semblance of life in Gaza, leaving my people with no choice but to seek existence in more hospitable places. Despite this, Gaza is our homeland, where we were born, educated, and have lived. Therefore we would prefer death, facing starvation, and enduring the hardships of life here, than to pursue a more comfortable existence elsewhere, the harsh reality is that circumstances often force us into difficult choices. Peace out Motaz Azaiza
