Because Hamas has never thought about the people. They never cared if we starved or died. All they cared about was staying in power."

All our days under their rule have been dark: repression, theft of property, arrests for speaking out. I’m certain they were the ones hijacking the flour trucksβ€”just to pay salaries to their men. For me, getting rid of Hamas is more urgent than ending the occupation.

Ibraheem from Gaza wrote on FB, "One day before Eid, Hamas members were handing out green papersβ€”US dollarsβ€”to their loyalists. Before that, it was flour, back when people couldn't find a single bite to eat. Since they took over Gaza, we haven’t seen a single good day.

Shocked by news about the killing of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim in Washington last night.

This isn’t β€œpro-Palestinian”—it’s pro-terrorism. It’s murder, plain and simple: immoral, inhumane, and indefensible.

The airstrikes don’t just leave scars on the body, they carve deep into their minds. 12,000 children already killed, and 100,000 more needing urgent psychological care to even begin to survive this nightmare. (2/2)

13,000 CHILDREN IN GAZA WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

Over 13,000 children have been left with irreversible injuries, many losing limbs they’ll never get back. These are not just statistics; these are the lives of Gaza's youngest β€” lives torn apart by a war they never asked for. (1/2)

Just watched a video of a baby in Gaza dyingβ€”because there was no baby formula. No food. Nothing.

Not from poverty. Not from chaos. But from a state-engineered starvation policy.

An infant starved to death in 2025 because someone decided aid trucks should be blocked.

More than 1.5 million people are displaced, tens of thousands are wounded, and yet even the most basic necessities are being denied. If this is not collective punishment, then what is? (2/2)

For over seven weeks, Israel has blocked the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Stripβ€”including food, clean water, and medical suppliesβ€”for over two million civilians. (1/2)

Even in Gaza, people have risked their lives to protest and call Hamas what it is: a terrorist organization that has hijacked an entire population. The UK got it right in 2021 β€” and the only scandal is that it took that long. (3/3)

This isn’t a political group. It’s a terror cartel. A gang that slaughters civilians, kidnaps hostages, desecrates graves, and still dares to play the victim. (2/3)

Hamas is suing the UK to be removed from its terror list β€” after kidnapping British citizens, and with documents revealing plans to dig up the graves of British soldiers in Gaza to use their bodies for political blackmail. (1/3)

The UN published a report highlighting the severe risk faced by over 2 million people in Gaza due to the ongoing Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid. This blockade, which began on March 2, has left the population without access to essential supplies like food, medicine, and clean water. (1/2)

The injured are being carried on donkey carts, hospitals are almost out of service, while families run from one obliterated street to another. This isn’t collateral damageβ€”it’s the inevitable outcome of a leadership that chooses bombs over responsibility, devastation over any path forward. (2/2)

Netanyahu and his government have discarded any notion of restraintβ€”reckless, ruthless, and entirely indifferent to human life. Yesterday, Gaza saw three shelter schools bombed, over 100 people killed, and countless more wounded. (1/2)

The times of Israel quoted a Palestinian source saying Hamas is willing to free all the remaining hostages at once for a permanent ceasefire.

Yes, Hamas prefers to see those people being bombed and killed rather than protesting and demanding Hamas to step down from power. (2/2)

Hamas's terrorists just fired some rockets at Israel from Beit Lahia, northern Gaza, where the anti-Hamas protests erupted, in a desperate way to provoke an Israeli response so the protests can stop. (1/2)

Egyptian foreign ministey:
Hamas will not govern Gaza, and a Palestinian civilian administration will run the Gaza Strip with Egyptian support and will not allow tampering the Strip again.

Hamas Tortured Me for Dissent. Here's What They Truly Think of Palestinians I thought I'd left Gaza behind, yet all this time, Hamas was planning to expand its extremism and intimidation.

People who think Hamas are "freedom fighters" should read this article written in January 2024 by Hamza Howidy, a Palestinian who left Gaza in mid-2023.

When Hamza Howidy came forward to speak about the brutality of Hamas, he received death threats. He was hounded by the β€œpro Palestinian” movement that consistently ignores the brutality of Hamas toward their own people.
Gazans are risking their lives to demand an end to Hamas today.This is courage.

Rebuilding what was destroyed by hate. After terrorist attacks by Israeli settlers and vandalism of the area. these Jewish activists and Palestinians are planting hope and trees in the West Bank.

including a policy of indiscriminate killing, with civilian casualties routinely classified as terrorists along the southern Gaza route, particularly at Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor. Hopefully, those investigations will lead to genuine accountability for those actions. (7/7)
