2 Jul 2025\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0The Extermination and Ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip is reaching unprecedented cruelty and the US government is sending another\u00a0 $517 million worth of bombs to the Israeli regime to continue it while\u00a0destroying the\u00a0US for the sake of the Zionist lobby. On Monday June 30th, Israeli forces bombed the only still functioning cafe in the Gaza Strip. Surviving Intellectuals, journalists, academics frequented it to escape the unrelentless genocide. 32 were killed there instantly and dozens were injured (many critically and lack of medical facilities means death or permanent disability). An image of a stunned injured elderly man (my age) next to the body of his wife among the devastation haunts me.<\/p>\n

Then we heard today that the Israeli regime\u00a0assassinated Dr. Marwan Al-Sultan, a cardiologist and director of an Indonesian hospital (only barely functioning hospital in Gaza City).\u00a0The Israeli army knows his home perfectly well sent him a missile killing him and his wife and their 5 children.<\/p>\n

MOSAB ABU TOHA, wrote \u201cIn the past three hours, Israel has savagely attacked over four school shelters in northern Gaza, resulting in a large number of casualties. As of this writing, hundreds of families are sitting or sleeping in the streets after fleeing the bombed shelters. The schools that were bombed are: \u00a0Al-Falah School \u2013 Al-Zaytoun neighborhood;\u00a0 Halawah School \u2013 Jabalia;\u00a0 Halimah Al-Sa\u2019diyah School \u2013 Jabalia; a group of school shelters on Yaffa Street \u2013 Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Omar wrote from Gaza where he is trying to care for a group of 22 people to survive: \u201cPerhaps tonight is the last night I write to you. I hope it isn\u2019t the last\u2014or maybe it\u2019s better if I don\u2019t hope at all. This soul is weary; it craves peace. The tanks are near. Their roar sits heavy in my lap, rattling this exhausted body. Gunfire crackles without end, everywhere. The grinding of treads devours what little memory remains\u2014I hear it so clearly, crushing my dreams. My dreams! What a hollow word. I don\u2019t even know how it slipped through my fingers.<\/p>\n

A burst of bullets\u2014first, second, third\u2026 Dear God, what is this madness?! My hand trembles again as Ahmed, my nephew, crouches like a hunted thing, clinging to his grandmother. Fear gnaws at him, crouching over his small body like a predator savoring its prey. Children are easy meat for terror. The tanks roll closer. The wail of ambulances swells. And I wonder: Will another image emerge? A man burning, his body torn open, while the world feasts on his agony\u2014only to forget him in two days? Has our suffering become a stepping stone for others\u2019 success? I don\u2019t know if morning will come. Not tomorrow\u2019s dawn\u2014but the dawn of the sky, when my soul rises to a place wrapped in peace, where love flocks like doves.<\/p>\n

A place untouched by this screaming violence.\u201d A day later, he wrote: \u201cThe price of sugar in Gaza is extremely high, and the Americans involved in the American aid know this very well. What happened today is one of the worst crimes ever committed. Read carefully what I\u2019m about to say: as soon as the first wave of American aid arrives, people rush to get sugar first. Today, the Americans deliberately placed the sugar in a separate area. Then, they dug a deep pit just before the sugar zone, covered it with nylon, and lightly sprinkled it with dirt so that no one would see it or notice. The starving reached the sugar first, and seven people fell into the pit. Then a bulldozer came and buried them alive. Meanwhile, a man in his fifties was returning from the aid area, nearly collapsing. I held him, and he said to me: \u2018I\u2019d rather die of hunger than go back to that aid\u2014it\u2019s aid of death\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

YET, THERE ARE COUNTLESS POINTS OF LIGHT GIVING US HOPE:
\nRanda hasn\u2019t even graduated from high school, and for the past two years she\u2019s had no school. Look how resilient the Palestinian people. Despite everything\u2026.no food, no security, no homes (her home was destroyed last month, and they\u2019re all living in a bombed out building) they\u2019re organizing a high school equivalency test next month, so now she must study and will stop vlogging to keep us informed of what is going on https:\/\/youtu.be\/qjUcuN1DMSM<\/a><\/p>\n

HERE IN BETHLEHEM, we are moving and expanding our Palestine Museum of Natural HIstory against all odds. We have halls for biodiversity, geology, Paleontology, ethnography, Palestine history, children exploration and more. We also continue almost daily programs and workshops for children. We could use any and all technical or financial support. Check out palestinemature.org<\/a> and follow us on https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/PIBS.PMNH<\/a><\/p>\n

The pressure via resistance\/sumud is working (though not\u00a0fast enough). We must\u00a0continue\u00a0the global uprising\/intifada that targets the billionaire\u00a0class who do not have any empathy as they destroy millions of lives. Our remaining friends in Gaza and all Palestine deserve freedom and an end to genocide and ethnic cleansing.<\/p>\n

\n
So stay Humane, act, and keep hope alive (even in the\u00a0midst of this man-made hell on earth)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
