12-year-old Dunia lost her leg in an Israeli airstrike that killed her whole family. We filmed this video with Dunia during the seven-day truce, and yesterday an Israeli tank-fired shell killed her while she was recovering in Naser Hospital in Khan Younis.

Gaza's archives are gone. These archives documented a history deeply rooted long before immigrants from Eastern Europe arrived in our country.

The Israeli occupation destroys the central archive of #Gaza municipality, executing thousands of historical documents, and deliberately razing all life forms; erasing the city and its #history. It is worth noting that the archive holds #documents more than a hundred years old.

Bombing libraries and cultural sites is deliberate and tactical. It’s an attempt to erase history and identity. It’s ethnic cleansing in its clearest form.

19 fiction books by Palestinian authors: novels, short stories, and folktales. 1. My First and Only Love (2021) by Shahar Khalifeh. Nidal, an elderly exile, recounts the story when the 1948 Nakba scattered her family; a story of love and resistance from the eyes of a young girl.
Cover for My First and Only Love by Sahar Khalifeh. It is turquoise and depicts two Palestinian women in traditional dresses and headdresses picking olives.

We must do everything we can to save lives. @RepRashida, @RepAndreCarson, @RepSummerLee, @RepDeliaramirez, and I are introducing the #CeasefireNOW Resolution to call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. I urge my colleagues to join us.
Calling for an immediate deescalation and cease-fire in Israel and occupied Palestine. Whereas all human life is precious, and the targeting of civil-ians, no matter their faith or ethnicity, is a violation of international humanitarian law; Whereas, between October 7 and October 16, 2023, armed violence has claimed the lives of over 2,700 Palestinians and over 1,400 Israelis, including Americans, and wounded thousands more; Whereas hundreds of thousands of lives are at imminent risk if a cease-fire is not achieved and humanitarian aid is not delivered without delay; and
