This piece makes one thing plain: in Gaza, civilian life itself has been turned into a target. Home, road, beach, café, school — every space that should belong to ordinary people is treated as a kill zone. Survival isn’t a right anymore; it’s a daily act of defiance.

💯🙏 that is an absolute truth George, it’s like a death loop

Ahmad, your writing is truly heartbreaking. My deepest wish is for Palestinians' peace and safety and for the rapid demise of this savage illegal squatter entity.

From your lips to God's ears Kate. Not only for the Palestinians sake but for all of humanity

I am sorry Ahmad for Britain’s role in creating this hell for you.

To see the US’s Techbroligarchy and the huge dehumanised corporations with nearly all the west’s imperial colonial countries in tow which have carried out this smokescreen Zionist agenda against the land of Palestine and you it’s people is despicable.

The artificial state of demonic and demented “Israel”

(impoverished as it is on every decent human metric)

needs to be ended immediately without a twitch of emotion and the Ashkenazi can go back to their homelands diluted and monitored or imprisoned for their crimes leaving behind only those who deeply want to apply to live in peace in Palestine with you.

The peoples of so many countries are behind you, and hate what has been done to you since 1936 we are ashamed that our bought and paid for politicians are so morally lame and complicit.

Your situation should never ever have been made possible. No more words.

Ahmed, I find myself going through your piece trying to put myself in your shoes and repeatedly failing to even imagine what you and the fathers' in Gaza have been and are still going through. You do your best my brother and the rest is in the hands of God, you Gazans know that better than any of us. It is never easy but its the only choice. All of us have a peice of our souls tethered to Gaza. May God watch over your family

I get so tired of people referencing it as a war. The IDF doesn't know how to fight a war it knows how to terrorize civilians. This is a prolonged terrorist attack and yes genocide
