**Gaza: A City of Widows and Orphans 💔🇵🇸** 71,846 children wake up without hearing the word “Dad,” while 64,413 women are left without a husband or a source of support. Behind these numbers are not just statistics, but broken hearts, closed homes, and stories of pain unfolding every second amid the ongoing war. 🔻 **64,413 women** have suddenly found themselves facing life as widows, carrying the burden of loss and the hardship of displacement alone. 🔻 **71,846 children** have been added to the list of orphans. They fall asleep without a father’s embrace to protect them from the cold, sharing the same pain and fear day after day. These are not just numbers in news reports. They are mothers and children struggling to survive in the midst of an unimaginable tragedy. 📢 **Share this post to help their voices reach the world.** Do not let their suffering fade into silence or be forgotten! 🔁👇

I love great writing and hate how it's treated on the internet. So I built something to try to fix that. If you wish there were a better place to share your writing, to discover new work, to talk culture and books, then I invite you to read—and to join me.

Today, I received notice of yet another immigrant who has died in ICE detention. 61 people have died in ICE's custody under Trump. We need to eliminate this for-profit detention system, provide dignity to all immigrants, and dismantle ICE.

This man BELOW who has been elected to the Israeli parliament expresses views which are not uncommon in Israel They are like the views expressed by many in Nazi Germany about the Jews The IHRA definition of antisemitism forbids equating Israel's behaviour with Nazi behaviour BUT WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT IS APPROPRIATE? This govt want to force schools to adopt the profoundly worrying IHRA definition
A new parliamentarian has been elected in Israel. His name is Moshe Feiglin. His views? "Every child, every baby in Gaza is an enemy. We need to conquer Gaza and colonise it. And not leave a single child there. There is no other victory." Read that again. Worse than a Nazi.

This man below is evil When he was elected prime minister in 1997, I was delighted Was I stupid or was I deceived or has this man since then traded his soul with the Devil?
“There is talk of ‘Free Palestine’, but for Palestinians living in Gaza, they don’t need a slogan; they need a solution,” said former UK Prime Minister and founding member of US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, Tony Blair.

Israeli “democracy” Five million Palestinians on the West Bank and in Gaza have NO vote and NO rights Two million Palestinians in Israel within 1948 borders, are subject to apartheid in all aspects of their lives but they can vote, if they can overcome obstacles In this election, many Palestinians in Israel within 1948 borders, did vote despite the obstacles NOW the Jewish Israeli - Zionist - parties refuse to talk to or work with the elected Palestinians Zionism IS racism

A man was shot in the head in Qizan Rashwan, south of Khan Younis. Israeli gunboats fired heavily on the Gaza City coastline, wounding others, and more were wounded east of Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. ▪️Israeli forces also opened heavy fire on tents of displaced families west of Rafah.
