closing this message, i have most definitely missed some things + ran out of stamina on the 18th (im in school for psychology, not journalism!). ive tried to include the main points, but if there’s something important im missing, please let me know as there was a lot to cover. additionally, a lot of the events i covered were heavily summarized as there simply is not enough characters to cover all of it. different resistance groups exist throughout the region, so to avoid confusion i’ve just titled them “resistance groups” aside from the islamic resistance as their operations are being conducted outside of occupied palestine (and thus are little easier to track). let me know if you all would like a breakdown of them and who did what.

from the river to the sea, palestine shall be free. glory to the martyrs.

Thank you so much, as always, for your detailed news update and support. This is incredibly comprehensive and I hope it will be a resource for those looking to understand how this genocide is progressing in Gaza and internationally. I don't have much to add here as your information is extremely detailed. Thank you for helping to keep us all informed!

if you are not able to protest in person and live in the US, you can contact your elected representatives in Congress in the process described here to urge members of Congress to vote in favor of a ceasefire. This page includes scripts! This is something you can do from home in a short period of time and very accessible for people with day jobs and disabilities that may prevent them from participating in in-person organization. There are many other things you can do, but for people in the US, this is a big first step you can take and if this is the only thing you do, it is still worth it.

Thank you to all the Palestinian supporters on this site, vocal in the forums or not!

a temporary ceasefire just got announced. it'll be a 4 day truce with a release of 50 captives in order to get humanitarian aid in. war mongering netanyahu says they will continue their genocide after the 4 days. here's a link to the al jazeera article, its being updated as i type lol

I've been somehow able to avoid seeing anything truly graphic, but I so frequently see posts on social media of people from Palestine or people who have relatives in Palestine sending messages saying that they know they will die soon, and it really breaks my heart. This whole situation makes me sick. And I also cannot believe that Isreali people are being pushed as the victims when they're the ones that still get to go about their lives (mostly) normally.

The 4 day pause is apparently due to Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Since everyone is so invested in the genocide, and protesting on streets, these sales might get affected. Meanwhile people are still being arrested in Palestine without any proof of their crime, and are shot while they were crossing from South to North Gaza. Reporters are being tracked, Motaz's neighbourhood was attacked, as he has been getting a lot of spotlight from world media.
No religion preaches this, I assure you. If people from my religion do these sort of crimes, I will condemn them and not show sympathy.

^^^ this 1000%, it was a purely strategic move on the us's part. ceasefire doesn't apply to the west bank, so the IOF is continuing to kidnap and torture people alongside their settlers. idk if y'all saw, but there were a bunch of protesters at the macy parade on thanksgiving, news coverage kept having to cut their cameras lol. the revolution truly will not be televised

honestly i feel like the "ceasefire only happened for black friday/cyber monday" take is ignorant at best and malicious at worst. i am critical of israel's government like the majority of ordinary israelis, but it's just icky to be pushing a theory like that. not only is it western-centric (you really think that that is a priority for anyone involved in the war?), it also plays into the antisemitic "jews only care about money" trope, and any time israel actually does something good - fulfilling what millions of people who demand peace have been asking for (even if it may not be enough for many of the people asking) - there is always backlash anyway, because apparently they have ulterior motives behind every single thing.

anyway, that ceasefire was broken in literal minutes by a rocket being fired from gaza. it's also been reported that IDF gunmen are shooting at people on the streets in northern gaza. very sad, but i think we all knew that was going to happen... this entire month of agony and counting could have been easily avoided, it's hard not only to blame hmas but also bibi and his government for the total oversight of 10/7.

this is a tinfoil-hat moment, even if it is a sentiment shared by israelis i know, it is still just speculation, so disregard it if you want, but: sometimes it feels like the government let the people they are supposed to serve get massacred in the most brutal pogrom in decades just so they could have an excuse to wipe out gaza, what with the absolute reams of security they have along the border fence. like how they've often just ignored the settler violence in the west bank because it didn't affect them. basically this will not end well for anyone, regardless of any imbalance in casualties, everyone in the region is in pain, grieving, terrified, and i fear it will last another age.

this is an information war too, everyone on both sides has completely different facts on the situation and they both call each other out constantly for having fake news, because propagandists are exploiting the ignorance of those who aren't closely tied to the situation - or genuinely well-read on it, as in actual peer reviewed reliable sources in the dozens, and not questionable state-sponsored media and social media infographics made by randoms.

this is my perspective as a british woman with jewish ancestry and childhood friends whose families have been deeply affected by violence in israel (without going into specifics for privacy but there is serious grief), though i am also heartbroken for ordinary palestinians who just want to live their lives but were born in one of the worst possible positions to do so (peacecomms on instagram has verifiable sources of gazans' voices that are devastating but so important to hear). i wish more people realised that these things are not mutually exclusive. not one life should be valued higher than another.

even though there is SO much more i could say, i don't know if i will post about this again since ximboland is usually an escape from all of this for me, but i've wanted to get all of this off my chest, and my regular social media feeds have left me feeling like the world has gone mad and no one will ever understand, so dumping my wall of text here tonight. :/

if you want to talk about it honestly without just slandering me and calling me a genocide denier or a terrorism apologist or whatever else you think will make you look like a more righteous person online, i might reply but i might not. i believe everyone has their heart in the right place but on either side of this their compassion is often exploited and it turns people against the wrong people. even if people say things that are really nasty for me to hear on here, i don't hold hatred in my heart for any ordinary person.

the us's interests are the priority of this war, israel is our little colonial state whether they wanna admit it or not. the claim that this ceasefire aligned directly with us interests isn't malicious: we fund israel. the us gov is the only reason they have their iron dome. "western centric", the only reason israel exists is because of western interests. also, pls don't lump israel and jewish people into the same category. specifically reffing to the "jewish people only care abt money trope" comment, israel is in no way representative of jewish people nor is jewish a nationality. critiques upon israel are not critiques of jewish people.

i do agree on the israeli gov allowing the 10/7 attack to happen so they could mobilize the genocide in gaza though, and i appreciate your overall take here. i just take issue with trying to take western powers out of this as we (specifically the us and uk) are the reason jewish people felt they needed a safe place in the first place because of our histories of vicious anti-semitism and are the ones who gave them space where other people we didn't gaf about were.
