when people say "Israel has a right to defend itself

@Gardenia @apenkop
I hope so... The danger is increasing for me; I hope I find someone to help me.

[gardenia@eldritch.cafe]

@Rania @apenkop Let's hope

@Rania Yes. Israel manufactures these traumatic events on an industrial scale. Deliberately.

[apenkop@mstdn.social]

@Gardenia @Rania
Same. I know you and your husband will never forget this experience.

@apenkop
They deliberately turned joy and happiness into sadness.

[rania@freesewing.social]

@apenkop @Gardenia A very, very difficult experience. Six months ago, we buried two of their friends who were killed, and today my husband will bury him tomorrow. He is very sad.

[gardenia@eldritch.cafe]

@Rania @apenkop I cannot imagine his sadness and sorrow. Please send him my true condolences.

[apenkop@mstdn.social]

@Rania I know. Many people know. Israel’s atrocities aren’t hidden (although they try to). But everyone knows and those who can make a change do nothing. It’s making everyone mad. All I can do is make a donation once in a while, but it’s like a band-aid for a gunshot-wound. If it depresses me, I still can’t imagine your burden, Rania. I hope al the Gazans in my timeline stay safe and alive and that one day, we’ll be dancing in the street. May God stay by your side. #FreePalestine @Gardenia

He's sitting there crying. I can't talk to him because... God willing, he'll arrive. I'll tell him then.

@apenkop @Gardenia
Your words and help make me feel safe. Thank you so much. From Bowman, I was so happy when suddenly everything changed. When the bullets reached me, the line advanced to my closest friend, and my husband's friend was martyred, everything changed for me from happiness to sorrow.

[gardenia@eldritch.cafe]

@Rania @apenkop We will never stop supporting you Rania. Until justice is done.

[rania@freesewing.social]

@Gardenia @apenkop
Thank you so much! I hope to meet you someday, and thank you personally for your help. 🫂

[gardenia@eldritch.cafe]

@Rania @apenkop We will share a cup of coffee, one day. Yes. Talk to soon Habibti.

[rania@freesewing.social]

@Gardenia @apenkop
I hope so, I would be very, very happy

[apenkop@mstdn.social]

@Rania But you’re not safe until you really are. Point is that thousands upon thousands of Gazans need to squeeze through the same eye of a needle, unless Israel would stop all hostilities at once, now. I fear that’s not going to be the case. It’s repugnant. We’ll still lose lives…

@apenkop @Gardenia
I'm calling you because the bombing is extremely heavy, there's no safety, and the sound of aircraft is everywhere.

[gardenia@eldritch.cafe]

@apenkop @Rania But I will never accept to lose more lifes in my life. I already lost too much people I loved. My palesitinian friends on Mastodon are real. I would do anything. And will do everything I can.

[rania@freesewing.social]

@apenkop @Gardenia
The sounds of aircraft are widespread; this is what I'm hearing in my photos. This is Gaza at night.

[rania@freesewing.social]

@apenkop @Gardenia
This is a video I filmed. This is how we live at night in Gaza.
