You will not hear from me again until I bring us 3 solutions for our sisters and brothers in Palestine. I will see you then. It is the prayer deep in my heart and soul that each of you will be a part of them. Love you. Shaun

☝️ making sure you saw this before I share anything else

💔🤬🚨If you respect me even a little please read ALL of my words here, OK? Yesterday I saw the worst video I’ve ever seen in my life of a Palestinian boy whose entire face was blown off. ➡️Today I just saw something worse. I sincerely earnestly didn’t think anything could be worse. Let me explain something to you. I’ve done trauma work my whole life. I worked in prisons full time for years. I was a counselor in a children’s hospital for kids who had been severely molested. I’ve had to study autopsies hundreds of times in my advocacy for police brutality victims. But what I saw tonight…. I can’t even repeat it. I wish I never saw it. And sadly, I used to think I was almost immune to these things because I’ve done this work for so long, but the genocide of the Palestinian people is the most gruesome, evil, depraved stuff I’ve ever seen or heard of. As soon as I saw it I swear I felt like my brain was going to break or I was going to scream or punch a wall or vomit. Or all of them. I’m deciding right now that I MUST drastically increase my work and efforts for Gaza. At every turn the corporations and governments of the world have tried to stop me, but I can’t, in good conscience, live another day seeing what I just saw without knowing I gave everything in my life to this cause. What I saw was so awful, and the child was STILL ALIVE, that it would NEVER be allowed in any movie. It would be banned. Never did I hope a child was dead, but I hope this sweet girl is no longer suffering and if she’s alive somehow, it won’t be much longer. Allah give us strength. Allah give ME strength. Please God! Give us wit, wisdom, tenacity, and fearlessness. Give us power. Sisters and brothers… It’s too much. It’s too much for anybody to have to endure this. They are trying to not only break the Palestinian people, they are trying to break all of us from ever thinking we can stop this. I just can’t accept that. I feel a rage in my bones, in my soul. And I’m deciding to embrace it.

❗️Hamas official Mahmoud Mardawi to Al-Jazeera: ○ We demonstrated a positive spirit in our response to the updated proposal and provided mediators with a chance to test Israel's position. ○ Any negotiation process must result in a complete cessation of aggression against the Palestinian people. ○ We will not permit the occupation army to remain in Gaza after the war. ○ The day after the war will be determined by our people without foreign intervention.

No legitimate argument can be made that these behaviors are about stopping Hamas or finding hostages

Israeli occupation soldiers posted this image of themselves playing with medical equipment inside Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis. Upon Palestinians returning to the hospital after Israeli forces withdrew, they discovered that most of the medical equipment had been completely destroyed and rendered inoperable.

Everything in me wants to help this boy

Instead of receiving the care and treatment that every human deserves, this Palestinian child with cancer must walk long miles to collect wood for his displaced family in Gaza, which they use for cooking amidst the ongoing Israeli genocide.

Doctors said he was missing half of his organs
