They are all human, just like you and me. They grow weary; they are dying from exhaustion—from displacement, loss, hunger, and the sheer weight of life itself. Those who claim they possess a superhuman capacity for endurance are lying to you. It is nonsense; they are all human, and they are tired of bearing this pain.
"One Thousand Days of Genocide: Gaza’s Story beyond the Numbers
By Shaimaa Eid
For one thousand days, Gaza has existed between life and death. Our endurance is no longer breaking news; it has become a painful question confronting the world.
As a journalist from the Gaza Strip, I have lived through the genocide since its very first day. I am still trying to remain strong, not for my own sake, but for the mission I believe I was born in Gaza to fulfill. It is a mission that goes beyond personal pain, becoming a testimony to an entire era in which human beings are being erased before the eyes of the world." .,.,,..,., As a journalist from Gaza, I know there are countless stories that have yet to be told. Behind every destroyed building lies the history of a family. Behind every empty chair is someone we still mourn. Behind every survivor is a story of resilience that deserves to be heard.
In the end, we are still here.
We are still writing.
We are still documenting.
We are still bearing witness.
Because what remains untold

...apart from some occasional #JerusalemPost headlines, but the global backlash, and even the classification of their military 's deeds as #Genocide, made it very obvious that there would be a reckoning:
It is extremely unfair to all the #Jews in the global #Diaspora who did not have a hand or even opposed the #Israeli regimes actions in #Gaza (and now elsewhere,)...
#WarInTheMiddleEast
👉The #Netanyahu Regime and the #IDF are comitting #Genocide👈
It is "five minutes past midnight" to cease ALL military help to #Israel until the #Palestinians are under a #UN enforced safe area.
As a journalist in Gaza, I’ve dedicated my life to the truth. But today, the truth is that my family is struggling to survive. With support cut and no income, I can barely provide basic necessities for my mother and siblings. I’m struggling to keep reporting while worried about our next meal. If you can, please stand with us. Your support is our only lifeline.
Hi friends, I know I’ve been quiet lately—adjusting to life here has been a real challenge. I’m reaching out bc the dental issue I had in Gaza has become critical & requires urgent surgery here in Italy, costing €650. I’m in a tough spot bc every bit of money I have has been going to my family in #gaza to help them survive. If you’re able to help me cover this medical expense, it would mean the world to me. Please reach out or donate via the link. #palestine #genocide
Introducing CLEANR® 2.0*: now for Mastodon and the fediverse. Our moderators are hard at work silencing and suspending accounts of Gazans from Palestine.

The German government now intends to put into law to punish Germans with up to 5 years in jail if they deny Israel's "right to exist".
Such a law would of course very likely violate the German constitution, like virtually everything the current German government does these days. And Germany already has a law that protects anyone from incitement and hate against the group they belong to, including jews. A law that specifically protects Israel no matter what Israel does serves of course only to suppress valid criticism of genocide and Israel's hard-right course who currently want to attack Iran *again*. In a country that respects its own constitution, this planned law would never even have been proposed.
As I write this, Germany's foreign minister, Johann Wadephul, is on visit in Israel, Germany's "good and close friend", to "keep communications channels open" as public hostility towards Israel increases.
And Germany's minister of the interior, Alexander Dobrindt, and the federal presidents of Germany's police have had multiple visits in Israel, Germany's "natural partner", to start training each other's police and to learn from Israel how it controls a population in an apartheid state using technology and AI (the real, working all-too-well AI, like computer vision, not the LLMs that are sold to us as "AI").
I usually explain the difference between open source and free software as “open as in open for business versus free as in freedom” but maybe I should start using “open as in open to profiting from genocide” instead.
“While Red Hat’s release of open source software has been a positive force in the tech industry, the company has been directly involved in supporting, enhancing and profiting from the Israeli military apparatus, an apparatus charged with committing w…
Genocidal Israelis and their Zionist enablers everywhere: we see you, we are taking notes, and we will not forget. You will face justice. If not today, tomorrow.
That's too many for a supposedly democratic state governed by the rule of #law, and if the U.S. respected international law, this could #legally be interpreted as #genocide.
You can cynically mock the fact that Trump is corrupt, constantly falls asleep, spouts stupid, senile nonsense, and is always getting things mixed up, but in the end, ICE is the big, evil stamp he’s imprinted on the U.S.—and they’re out there killing people with impunity.
Question: Has chaos.social taken any action against the moderator who muted accounts that are Gaza Verified? I mean, you understand what an inhumane action this is, yes?
“These accounts are verified as belonging to people suffering genocide in Palestine. I will now mute them.”

@kali @david We get a lot of reports for spam/donation requests in general. A couple of months ago, we muted accounts with a gazaverified link in their bio -- we reversed this decision when a user pointed this out to us, and have since taken great care to *not* take any moderation action against accounts with the gazaverified profile link, literally part of our mod checklist.
(I can't guarantee that we never get this wrong, but we're happy to fix mistakes if people talk to us.)

“While I was in Beirut another doctor told me the story of a child from Gaza who, after coming to Lebanon, learned that a man had died a natural death. The child did not understand. He did not know that death could come this way. It had to be explained to him, that people die of old age. The only cause of death the child knew was Israel. And he knew it well.”
Many people outside still can't believe what's happening in Gaza,
or think it's confined to a specific area — and we've seen this a lot on social media.
But the truth?
The aggression has destroyed Gaza from north to south.
Gaza today isn't a city; #Gaza today is the remnants of life.
There's no "living" in Gaza… only a "struggle to survive."
Houses are rubble.
Streets are graveyards.
Electricity, water, internet… are now memories and lost luxuries.
Hospitals? Paralyzed.
Schools? They've become temporary shelters, or they've been destroyed.
Electricity?
Since the first days of the war, it's been cut off.
A very small segment of the population has access to solar power, and it's become a resource for people… but at a price.
Can you imagine?
Your phone battery is dead? You have to pay 2 shekels to recharge it.
Power banks? 3 shekels.
A large battery? 7 shekels.
Everything has a price, even charging, even electricity.
And the prices? Insane and unbelievable!
The internet?
There's no home internet.
There are temporary cards sold by people who have electricity and internet.
The card costs between 1 and 5 shekels (half a dollar to a dollar and a half), depending on the time and speed.
And the cost of living?
A kilo of tomatoes = 20 shekels ($5.50)
A kilo of cucumbers = 25 shekels ($7)
A kilo of potatoes = 50 shekels ($13 – if you can even find them) A kilo of eggplant = 30 shekels ($8)
A single cigarette? From 50 to 120 shekels ($13–$32!)
A loaf of bread? Almost nonexistent, and flour is running out.
Some people have resorted to smoking wild herbs, adding nicotine, carbonation, sugar, and sometimes pesticides and toxic substances… just to give it a flavor!
So, how are people surviving?
Some have nothing.
Some cook over wood fires.
Some eat one meal a day or less.
Some grow parsley or lettuce, or anything to stave off starvation.
Some make soup with water and onions…
And some don't eat at all.
No food, no gas, not enough flour.
Prices are sky-high, and people have nothing.
A kilo of ordinary vegetables is now more expensive than in European cities.
And a single cigarette is more expensive than a large meal for an entire family!
The water?
It's polluted, salty, and undrinkable.
People filter it using primitive methods, boil it, or drink it contaminated because “there's no alternative.”
The gas?
It's been cut off for over a month and a half.
People cook over wood fires, charcoal, or anything that will ignite.
The health situation?
There aren't enough medicines, no well-equipped hospitals, no medical equipment, and not enough staff.
And people get sick… and wait for death in silence.
"This data is used by the Israeli military to identify targets for airstrikes, arrests, and blackmail from the entire Palestinian population. It is also used as training data to build AI-targeting programs. These programs invent arbitrary justifications to murder non-combatants, intentionally adding civilian workers to the Israeli military’s generated “target bank“; the programs also facilitate massacres of entire families at once."
A UN commission of inquiry report details how Israel deliberately kills Palestinian children.
"There is no doubt whatsoever… that every international legal norm has been violated by the actions of the Israeli authorities towards Palestinian children, and they need to be held accountable.”
The report found Israel is deliberately killing and torturing children – and subjecting them to sexual violence – as part of its genocide against Palestinians.
The commission chose not to name the children because they didn't want Israel to take revenge on their families.
