To my Gaza…
We will never forget the ice cream truck with the dead bodies.
We will never forget the father who held his martyrs kid’s body parts in a bag.
We will never forget that they performed surgeries without anesthesia on the streets.
We will never forget the Gaza’s grounds filled with martyrs body parts.
We will never forget the headless babies torn from their mothers’ arms.
We will never forget the homes reduced to rubble, burying entire families beneath.
We will never forget the children orphaned, crying out for parents who won’t return.
We will never forget the screams of mothers holding lifeless bodies of their innocent.
We will never forget the bombs that turned playgrounds into graveyards.
We will never forget the hospitals overflowing, the doctors battling to save lives with no medicine, no power, no hope.
We will never forget the world’s silence as your children became martyrs.
We will never forget the cruel blockade, starving your people of food, water, and dignity.
We will never forget the blood-soaked streets where children once played.
O Gaza, we will never forget the ambulances bombed while rushing to save lives.
We will never forget the babies pulled from the rubble, lifeless before they could even speak.
We will never forget the fathers digging with their bare hands, searching for their children beneath the ruins.
We will never forget the families wiped out in an instant, their names reduced to numbers in the news.
We will never forget the schools turned into shelters, bombed with no warning, killing the innocent seeking refuge.
We will never forget the endless nights of bombardment, where sleep became a distant memory and survival a daily prayer.
We will never forget the bloodstained toys left behind by children who will never play again.
We will never forget the mothers forced to bury their children with their own hands.
We will never forget the mosques destroyed, where cries to Allah once filled the air.
Wallahi, as long as we are alive, we will never forget.Fares Abulebda
GAZA
A year of genocide
The entire year has passed and the genocide in my homeland hasn’t stopped. On contrary, the monsters intensified it. The numbers of my fellow Gazans killed is just estimated, and what most of outlets say, approximately 50 000, doesn’t seem right at all. Some say between 180 000 – 200 00 is more accurate and realistic.
But I refuse to talk about us as numbers. We are not numbers. Does it really matter to the outside world if the occupation killed 50 000
or 200 000? To me, the answer is clear- it doesn’t.
I can’t believe it’s been a year. Most of us didn’t believe it would have continued for such long time and we woke up each day with hope it would stop. We reached out to the world, we shared videos we filmed on our cellphones, lucky when we had internet connection. We shared unimaginable horrors and live streamed our own massacres. We showed the world the truth. Nobody stopped these demons.
They destroyed Gaza within days. We watched in disbelief our homes, our houses, buildings, streets, squares, markets, shops, playgrounds get completely destroyed by their bombs. We started losing our loved ones, families, friends, neighbors en masse- their bombs and shells, snipers didn’t spare anyone. We became homeless, refugees in our own land, starved and captured in hermetic siege by these demons who are feeding on our blood.
We became like wild animals during hunting season for them. They were killing us for their pure pleasure and proudly filming themselves and sharing their war crimes on social media. Everybody saw it.
We felt the pain of betrayal of our neighbors, the people who we considered our brothers and sisters. They couldn’t care less about us and couldn’t even bother to hide it. It felt like a knife in our back. The pain we will never forget.
We saw people from far away lands, speaking some other languages, supporting us, taking risks to speak the truth even though the price they paid was too high- some lost jobs, some were beaten by police, some threatened, smeared. Yes, we witnessed your bravery and we will never forget that!
Whoever survived this year of genocide, is not the same person anymore. Every single Gazan has lost someone. Too many lost everything.
To the shitty world- keep on watching. But remember, there is somebody high up in the sky who sees absolutely everything.
Our struggle continues and this time, it’s the battle to the end.Fares Abulebda
