I will never forget this day. Israel killed two of my cousins' entire families, my friend Ahmed entire family, and my friend Anas entire family and the wife of my friend Khaled. Those are together over 30 beautiful mothers, fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, and kids.
I just got the news that my close friend Hussein Redwan and his parents were bombed and killed now. This is the worst. The most generous family and most gentle in Gaza.
Our family's friend Raafat Tanani, his pregnant wifeุ and their 4 children just disappeared from this planet, went to a beautiful garden may be where their is NO Israeli warplanes and they live in peace there. The criminals murdered them.
#GazaUnderAttack
I can't reach them, i can't reach my parents. Ya allah, the last sounds i heard bombs bombs bombs, a voice behind said she fainted. Mother, no one answer.
#GazaUnderAttack
Great news: I could reach my mother in Gaza and hear her voice. Tell everyone that connection is weak but back. Everyone can reach their families now. No one knows for how long?
Should i tell
@GretaThunberg
to make of
#Gaza
a green environmental issue so the world feel it is sexy to save human besieged people. What type of humanity are you manufacturing.?
I am so sorry Mama, Iam so sorry Gaza, wallahe we are doing nothing even if we are doing, we just shout and cry. I wish for my mother and everyone to be safe in the midst of the bombs rain.
#GazaUnderAttack
In phonecall with my mum in
#Gaza
, my heart literally was broken. My mom said: "whenever i feel that i might be murdered, the bomb some meters closer. Quickly, I press to call you or your siblings. I just want your voices to be the last voice i hear" .
#GazaUnderAttackk
I did not hear from my mother for 15 mins now. This is the type terrifying conversations that i can't endure. Gaza resist, Mama resist.
#PalestineBleeding
What is happening that friends in
#Gaza
is leaving a goodbye recording for me. Iam panicing and nothing coming except the light and the voice of the heavy israeli bombs.
#GazaUnderAttack
This is heartbreaking. My friend Salam sent me this photo of her daughters sleeping under the heaviest bombardment in
#Gaza
history. They are shutting their ears off to not hear the bombs. Sad Sad
#PalestineUnderAttack
I reached my mum finally, she is shaking, terrified, panicing, BRING more words to describe. She was just holding my 2years old niece while nonstop bombing and saying she must survive. Walahe ya Mama, you deserve to be awarded a courage award.
#PalestineBleeding
I was born and grew up in Jabalia refugees camp. I witnessed the horror of the first, second Intifada, military invasions, and aggressions of many years of extreme oppression. Today, the camp witnessed an erasure of its center and souk area. A massacre was committed.
The man who is being detained brutally in this photo during the Palestine Demo bans is me. I was asked if I am protesting because I am wearing a Palestinian Kuffiya. Then, I spent six hours being hospitalized and left with a sling for my arm.
@OmarSShakir
How can we forget Ahmed?
He was imprisoned in 2015 when he turned 13 years. Growing up in the second Intifada. Many of us can imagine what he has to experience and after the deteriorating situation of the mental heath of Ahmed. We call everyone to demand to
#FreeAhmedManasra
.
Israeli warplanes are bombing all streets going out from the hospital. Ambulances are not able to come in or out. Horrible times, I feel my family will not survive tonight.
How can you mourn a saint?
first impression of Refaat was 15 years ago. When he was speaking of English literature and his reading list, as if he became part of all the tales he read. I remember as younger man. I was inspired, and my eyes were lighting as if I found a treasure.
From supporting people who experienced police violence to being a direct the victim. The German police presence in Berlin was terrorizing. They almost dislocated my shoulders, I can not move it for 2 weeks. I could not think ever I would be stopped for wearing my Pali Kuffiya
In 2014, Israeli snipers shot me in the leg while I was planting olive trees in a peaceful action we organized. Israel is out there to shot any opportunity of peace. My way or no way.
#Gaza
is a great witness of their way.
My parents and young brother is alive. Israeli warplanes dropped new kind of heavy weapons at all roads in front of our home. Our home has minor damage, windows broken, smoke and dust all over the home. Fuck Israel if you like it or not.
#PalestineBleeding
#GazaUnderAttack
My interview after the arrest: โThings are changing here,โ Abusalama said. โWe are reclaiming the city, and the government feels it does not have control over us. Resistance is increasing in Berlin which expose German complicity and Israeli apartheid.
I got the text, I never want to receive. bad bad bad news. My neighborhood and direct neighbor's building is threatened to be erased by the Israeli terror army at any moment.
#GazaUnderAttack
We resist Israeli lobby and presence wherever it appears but Israeli Zionist trolls aim to discredit at my sister
@ShahdAbusalama
to silience not only her voice but also her presence in the academic sphere.
#InsupportofShahd
@norabf
Germany is sinking lower and lower everyday to defend the Israeli apartheid and colonialism. What we experienced today in Berlin with few thousands police recruited from other cities to stop any presence of Palestine in Berlin shows how they want to to erase us same as Israel.
The times ahead in Gaza will be the worst ever. Act for the besieged people. Don't let colonial power narratives spread as if it is normal for my people and family to accept colonial hegemony without resistance.
Heavy Israeli shooting last night at the people's homes in the East-South of
#Gaza
- Khan Younes. I have pictures of some bullets which went through the cement walls to the children rooms and living rooms of the families. Random shooting is like military entertainment
Everything is targeted in Gaza now, everything can be murdered anytime even trees and insects. I can't still reach my parents. Can i hear my mother voice for a second?
#GazaUnderAttack
I don't know how to tell you. Israel attacked and bombed a home of AbuHatab family, neighbors to my cousins. Seven were murdered, 4 of them are children who were not able to sleep and now is forced to sleep.
#GazzaUnderAttack
ya Allah
What is happening in Gaza. You idiots, you shitty world, you terrorists. Everyone who is not with the resistance against this criminal zionist state is a terrorist. No space for neutrality.
#PalestineWillBeFree
My wonderful sister is under attack by Zionist defamation. This type of structural destruction of scholars and activists lives and professions is tactic which is engineered to silience and intimidate Palestine and Palestinian voices.
@ShahdAbusalama
#InsupportofShahd
Yet another Zionist defamation campaign has led to the punishment of a Palestinian scholar, in this case the wonderful
@ShahdAbusalama
, from the Gaza Strip. All energy should go into defense of our sister.
My mother, 2 years old niece, family, experienced two hours of this you can see in the video below. F16 warplanes, submarines and tanks armed by
#US
and
#German
weapons. Boycot Israel now, sanction Israel. Humanity failed us failed us in
#Gaza
Can you count how many airstrikes in this very short video?
Can you imagine how the situation was within the last two hours in north
#Gaza
?!
#GazaUnderAttack
We read and mourn the names of the beautiful humans who were murdered in
#Gaza
in our demo in
#Berlin
. While checking the list before my comrades read thier names loud. I figured out that 5 friends of mine were in the list. I was shattered and broken after.
#GazaUnderAttack
This video at the corner of our home. My 2 years old niece lives there. 500 meters surrounding our home. Israel raided over 50 times the last hours. What should i tell my niece who is embracing everyone and says she is not scared then she jumps with each bomb.
#GazaUnderAttack
#NewProfilePic
#InSupportOfShahd
and for academic freedom. Shahd is resisting for all of us, we are overwhelmed by the support and those personal warm words. Let's keep this coming until Palestine is liberated.
I just left the hospital an hour ago with an arm sling to hold my shoulder after the German racist police almost dislocated my shoulder with their violent reactions to us wearing Palestine Kuffiyas. This is the new wave of anti Palestinian everything in Berlin. Insane, right?
For their public display of ๐ต๐ธ symbols they were stopped by
@polizeiberlin
patted down & in the case of our comrades
@MajedAbusalama
&
@RamsyKilani
ย arrested & beaten up. Both have been released, but Majed is still hospitalized due to the injuries sustained from police violence.

@MayShigenobu
with our mother Fusako makes me cry, the revolutionary who spoke for Palestine and spent dozens of injust and cruel years in jail is free. My father tells us to celebrate the 25th May as his birthday. He said he was reborn in this day as well.
My childhood friend, Ali Nasman, a loved well-known actor, activist, comedian, and warm childhood friend who was just killed by an Israeli warplanes. Leaving his wonderful kids and many of his friends orphans. Habebe, we love you forever.
My sister
@ShahdAbusalama
is checking if our family is alive and everything is Okey. No response, but some hours after, my mother answers shortly, "we laugh and cry," and then her internet cuts again. We are so sorry mum. Stay alive
#Gaza
non stop bombardments can not be normalized, can not be tolerated, can not be just ignored. This brings so much anxiety and great anger about the world silience and complicity as if they agree that my family, Gaza don't deserve a life.
#GazaUnderAttack
Are you kidding me?
#EU
now call for an emergency meeting and schedule it for Tuesday. This is humiliating to all the lives that is murdered everyday. What type of emergency that can wait 3 days.
#GazaUnderAttack
my family might be erased and murdered any second.
Soldiers who were kidnapped are the same soldiers who maimed and killed generations of Palestinians during
#GreatReturnMarch
and other protests. Those are the same soldiers who created a generation on crutches in
#Gaza
. Those are criminals and deserve more than imprisonment.
What is beautiful in our Palestine political organizing that Palestinians and Jews work and co-resist together. I don't have to explain anything. We know well that our enemy is one and it is the Israeli settler colonization and Apartheid and we work toward liberating everyone.
This 15 seconds is shocking, heartbreaking. My mum's voice can tell all the story of what the world must watch of
#Gaza
. We lost contact with them after this.
#PalestineUnderAttack
Two massacres in my family. The entire two families of my cousins were wiped out except my cousin and the husband of my other cousin with one daughter. Six kids and two mothers were killed in total.
Salma loved her grapes trees. I always would pass by her home, and she would give me tons of it. You can easily notice how happy her family trees are, which her father planted years ago. Israel killed Salma, my father's cousin. I am so sorry, so so sorry, habebti.
Last night was the worse and most violent night since May military operation. Israeli warplanes continues to bomb and hover over Gaza for over 2 hours.
Heavy drones and warplanes are hovering low above
#Gaza
. Israeli navy is shooting every now and then at fishermen boats. This is how peace looks like. Full surveillance
Never side with the oppressor. Never side with the occupier, never side with criminals. It is your choice. Choose the side you feel like belonging. Decolonize here, starting from
#Palestine
.
#GazaUnderAttack
All communication to our families is completely cut. People of Gaza hear the bombs. Whoever can reach those who want to connect. Tell them that they can try Israeli or Egyptian network. People choose the network manually from the settings.
I just don't want to mention my hometown because of digital censorship but one of the most powerful army in the world bombed it last night again and again.
This is horrofic, this is terror. I can't stabd hearing this. Bombing a whole neighborhood with massive tons of bombs now. Some lives are screaming from under the rubble
#GazaUnderAttack
I was with
@RamsyKilani
first walking then a police run to Ramsy, surrounded him/others and did't allow them to leave while harassing them. Suddenly they surrounded me as well, asked me why I am wearing my Kuffiya in public/Berlin and that is a protest. This is is literally.
My mother has had a strong panic since she left Gaza. She is not able to enjoy the taste of the food. She says that she is eating as if she is learning to eat again and tastes vegetables and fruits.
Eliya, 2 years old, my beloved niece, she sleeps under the dining table to hide from the rocket and she continue saying ุตุงุฑูุฎ ุจููู ุตุงุฑูุฎุ means israeli rocket booom rocket. Haram wallahe Haram?!! Why?
#GazaUnderAttack
Nowhere to escape, no shelters, nothing except waiting for death to come from the sky which is dominated by Israel. Hundreds of warolanes are bombing the 2millions besieged.
#PalestineBleeding
I stopped reporting. I am tired of the same reporting, I don't want to report anymore. It seems nothing is meaningful, and nothing can stop the genocide of Gaza. I am tired of this world and this (X) realities. Our stories are more than a tweet.
Waiting for any sign of life from my parents in
#Gaza
is the most terrifying i ever felt. They did not want to evacuate and just waiting for the Israeli bombs to be dropped.
#GazaUnderAttack
It is completely dark in
#Gaza
. Israel hit the main provider lines for Electricity. Airstrikes are happening now as well in the north and the south and the cente. It is everywhere.
#PalestineBleeding
Israe.l killed the kindest and most generous cousin or as we see him brother like Yousef. My parents adopted him for years and now he is gone along 22 other members of our neighbors
I can tell that Gaza is now a large graveyard. People are waving from the grave for support of ambulances and firworkers, but no response, no response. It is the end.
Carpet bombing near where my family is staying in the middle of Gaza. We have no news of them since the network is cut off completely in the area. Don't normalize and keep speaking.
I even can't write it: This beautiful child became the only surviver of an entire family massacre which happened now in Beach refugees camp in
#Gaza
. Israel must pay for it?
We must boycott and sanction Israel.
#PalestineBleeding
I could not imagine I will be in such situation. Another police brutality and violence because I wear Kufiya on the streets of Berlin after the German senate and police banned Palestine Demos. Being visible as a Palestinian today is a crime in Berlin. Germany is sinking low
I am still processing that German police have just arrested my brother
@MajedAbusalama
for protesting the ongoing oppression of the Palestinians and stand with our people mourning in Palestine and everywhere the brutal killing of
#ShireenAbuAkleh
in
#Berlin
.
For the first night, I feel like I will loss part of my family tonight. I want to share this to tell you that it is closer than anytime the Israeli bombings. Gaza is becoming a graveyard and I feel my family is greeting us as if they are waving good bye.
In the call, my mum kept saying please help us, please help us. She had a huge panic attack, she was so scared for our 2 year old niece who just learnt the word BOMB.
#Gaza
my home is hell in earth
My uncles called me to convince my father to evacuate our home after Israel threatened to bomb it at any moment, but my father don't want to leave the home and is sleeping under the stairs with my mother, young brother, my uncle and an aunt. Horror!
#GazaUnderAttack
Palestinians are not able to call for help to save nor the injured or those under the rubble now. Bodies are lying in the streets, and people are screaming for help, but no one is able to reach for help due to emergencies everywhere now in Gaza.
Despite all the horror we witness and the silence and complicity by many others. We shall remember this photo,
#Palestinian
spirit of fighting for dignity and justice throughout the last 73 years. It is an ongoing Nakba but also a huge struggle for liberation.
#GazaUnderAttack
Last night, I did not hear from my parents and brother. Everything was cut to reach them. I had the most extreme horror dreams. Finally today morning they messaged us that they were alive, but few close friends were killed with entire families.
#Gaza
under the heaviest bombardments ever experienced. Those minutes, iam writing this and fire going on and people are panicing and running to shelters, death arrived
When I posted about my mum call when she said good bye to my siblings while at the edge of death. Everyone felt their mums and retweeted and called for justice. Now when the bombs some hundreds meters away, it feels like it became "fine". What a world?!!

Same here Nabih. Thinking of how many time my hometown sGaza was bombed, and hundreds of families were eliminated with almost complete silience and no time and weekend holidays while Israeli warplanes drops their bombs on us.
#StandWithUkraine
This night is darker than any night. The smells of bombs are all over. It reminds me of the Hiroshima movie I watched once. The sky and air are filled with dust of bombs with lights of bombs all over. Who can stop this insanity, inhumanity?
Israel bombed all infrastructure and streets going to Shifa Hospital which is the central hospital for all of
