I'm deeply grateful to @MarciaLynx and @ursulind for the important work they've been doing over the years. I recently had the pleasure of being featured on their excellent podcast, @bulaqbooks, where we discussed the life and works of Mohamed Choukri. The conversation flew by, and there is so much more to say. I look forward to future conversations.

"Children so malnourished they’re losing their sight: Inside Israel’s aid blockade on Gaza. The blockade has led to famine-like conditions for the two million people living on the Strip, and at least 9,000 children have been admitted for treatment of acute malnutrition since the start of the year". independent.co.uk/news/world…

Last night in Gaza, we operated on a 15 year old girl who was riding her bike when she was shredded by an Apache helicopter. She will be lucky if she keeps 2 of her limbs after 12 hours of collective surgery

Rest in Peace, Hossam.
Language is important. Language makes genocide justifiable. A reason why we are still being bombed after 243 days is because of The New York Times and most Western media. They continue to spread misinformation, and are willing to jump many hopes instead of stating that Israel is committing genocide or that Israel is killing Palestinians daily. The New York Times is complicit in this genocide. The New York Times has the blood of 15,000 Palestinian children on their hands.
