Never ever forget the journalists who stayed in north Gaza despite almost certain death. Never forget how they starved, were injured, were assassinated, and watched their colleagues and loved ones die. Never forget that they refused to leave their home and their people behind, even for their own safety. Never forget how they constantly risked their lives to document atrocities, all while most of the world had totally turned its back on non-English-speaking journalism. When world media reported north Gaza was empty, it was these people who stayed amongst the bombs, tanks, bullets, and chemical gases, to try to show the world that north Gaza was still full of life that needed protecting. These journalists will not receive awards or acclaim, but please do not forget their dedication and their sacrifice.

I do think with news of the ceasefire, everyone should read up on what the ceasefire actually means and what the different phases of the ceasefire are. here's a good source for what we know as of now:
Some of my initial takeaways are:
this ceasefire is temporary (as of right now, six weeks long). negotiations will continue but israel is not offering guarantees about continued non-violence. BDS remains important. be vigilant, keep pressure up
rafah crossing will open one week after the initial phase starts
israel will release 2000 prisoners
more aid will get to northern gaza, look out for ways you can help
if the second phase is initiated, israel will do a complete withdrawal from gaza. which means the initial phase will not include that. again i say: BE VIGILANT
if the third phase is reached, reconstruction will begin "under international supervision"
nothing is over, even if this is a relief. do not tap out, do not tune out.
pls still read the full article

"Israel released thousands of terrorists in exchange for these hostages"
1. I don't fall for these tweets because every Palestinian has a right to resist occupation through arms and they are as innocent as the palestinians imprisoned for making social media posts
2. The occupation military orders are so broad and punitive that any activist is considered a "terrorist"
Can't congregate
"Which may be construed as political" as long as it's interpreted so! Doesn't matter.
If you criticize the occupation and "publish" it via print or social media, you can very well be imprisoned. Intent doesn't matter as long as it may harm
Military Order 1651, which includes a 10-year sentence for any person who “attempts, orally or otherwise, to influence public opinion in the Area [the West Bank] in a manner which may harm public peace or public order,” or who “publishes words of praise, sympathy or support for a hostile organization, its actions or objectives.” The vague wording here is intentional, and was clearly written to allow Israeli authorities to interpret the order as they wish so as to arrest and imprison Palestinians under occupation

Occupation requires control. It's not just checkpoints and killings but repression on every level of society.

✅️Vetted by @gazavetters, my number verified on the list is ( #501 )✅️
I am Mohammed, I live in the northern besieged Gaza Strip, I am 21 years old, I have always tried to create a beautiful future for myself in which I achieve all my wishes. I had ambitions and dreams, but they evaporated because of the war, but I still want to achieve them despite the siege. During the war, I lost many things, including my university, my dreams, my job, and some friends. Despite that, I still want to achieve my dreams and ambitions. I want to rebuild my life again, so please help me in that and rebuild my life. Therefore,
please donate as much as you can because that helps me a lot. If you cannot donate, tell people about my suffering.
