"These are the tears of humanity, not the tears of defeat or fear or cowardice. The [Israeli] occupation army can go to hell."
Wael Al-Dahdouh, Al Jazeera Gaza Chief Correspondent after Israel killed his wife, son, and daughter.

We do not talk enough about Palestinian mothers and fathers calling their children “Mother” and “Father”, respectively.
1. “Why are you crying, father?” @HamzaAbuToha asks his terrified little daughter Awatef as the Israeli shells rain upon them.
2. “Forgive me, my mother,” the bereaved mother desperately pleads with her dead son.
This applies to grandparents talking to their grandchildren and uncles and aunts talking to their nieces and nephews.
This shows how dear our little ones are that they are in the place of our parents not the other way round. It shows how willing adults are to protect and sacrifice for their children in Palestine and some Arab countries.
Unfortunately, when we translate that, we tend to domesticate this term of endearment so nonArabs do not get confused.

Drenched
A poem by Refaat Alareer
On the shores of the Mediterranean,
I saw humanity drenched in salt,
Face down,
Dead,
Eyes gouged,
Hands up to the sky, praying, Or trembling in fear.
I could not tell.
The sea, harsher than the heart of an Arab,
Dances,
Soaked with blood.
Only the pebbles wept.
Only the pebbles.
“All the perfumes of Arabia will not” grace the rot
Israel breeds.
American shells kill Palestinian kids
Yesterday I went to my son’s previous UN school, largely damaged by Israeli tanks.
Israeli tanks turned the school into a military base & shot hundreds of American made shells & tens of thousands of bullets at Palestinian homes.
Israel held Palestinian civilians hostages there.
Rain has been made a horrible experience in Gaza due to Israeli genocide.
My brother and his in laws are staying in an empty shop in Rafah where all the rainwater floods the area.
Countless homes have been destroyed and damaged.
Hundreds of thousands are taking shelters in schools, hospitals and clinics.
The clouds prevent the solar panels from giving us much needed electricity. #palestine🇵🇸
