#genocide

tord_dellsen@diasp.eu

When the destruction of Gaza first began I used to read the jarring claims about the horrific things the IDF were doing and often think, “No, no way. That can’t be the whole story. It’s too cartoonishly evil. There must be some information missing.” Then a few days or weeks later confirmation would come out, showing it’s even worse than I thought before.

I don’t experience that kind of dubiousness when reading such stories anymore. There are only so many atrocities you can see documented, so many videos of IDF troops recording themselves gleefully behaving like monsters, so many hospitals you can see attacked, so many journalists you can see assassinated, before you read a new report about new unfathomable acts of depravity and find yourself saying “Yeah, that sounds about right.”

A book in #India and also in #Kashmir published by the government of India for 6th graders just mentioned #Khomeini one of the most evil persons in history.

People I n Kashmir and some other parts of India have been protesting while carrying the pictures of #Khomeini.

It's just sad to see these people are more upset about a provocation by the Indian government to put Khomeini by the side of people like Hitler or Gingiz Khan. He was an evil man, no doubt about it, but in the global terms he wouldn't even get close to monsters like #Kissinger or king #Leopold.

These same people have been so damn quiet about the ongoing #genocide in #Gaza or #Sudan

"The Storyteller"

Bisan Owda is 25 years old with raven barrel curls that dance wildly around her face when she walks along the beach. Those same big beautiful curls were once the cause of relentless teasing. But Bisan is a force of nature that doesn't back down and also loves deeply.

She wasn't fluent in English and didn't learn how to speak it until three months ago out of sheer determination to tell the story of her people. Because of this she says "yani" a lot while trying to think of the right English word. It translates to "I mean."

When you go to her social media pages you'll see wizard behind her name, it's because she loves Harry Potter and her favorite character is Hermoine, obviously. She's a women's rights activist, Bisan, not Hermoine but Emma Watson is so it still tracks.

At just 25, she has traveled to multiple countries like France, Lebanon and Belgium with the UN Women's Youth Gender Innovation Agora and as an EU Goodwill Ambassador.

She loves her little brothers and friends and misses playing basketball. She's played in several championships. You'll rarely see Bisan in a dress or skirt even before everything happened. When she's not working she's usually sporting hoodies, baggy t-shirts, jeans or leggings/joggers and some sneakers.

She graduated college in 2021 and has her own show called “Hakawatya,” where she explores historical sights in her city and tells the story of how the ancient people lived who once walked the same floors she stands on.

Before Bisan became known worldwide for her catchphrase, "It's Bisan and I'm still alive," she was known as a storyteller.

A filmmaker.

A sister.

A journalist.

A friend.

An advocate.

An activist.

An outspoken, questions authority, takes no crap bright light destined to change the world.

She has a life as a full well-rounded human being with hopes, dreams, desires and a story to tell. So when you think of Bisan, think of her as a whole person, not just a number.

Bisan has recently been nominated for a Peabody Award with AJ+.

#Bisan Owda is 25, she's a storyteller and she deserves a future that includes continued safety and full freedom.

The bodies of 392 people were found in mass graves at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunis in the southern #Gaza Strip after the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the city, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

And nobody is talking about it.

I'm just so depressed right now. Haven't felt this helpless since we were trying to get swedish and European politicians to react to stop the #genocide in Rwanda.

Please, please, please do not forget that over half a million people are surrounded by IDF forces with limited to no food at all.

The media and most activists are focused on protests in US and Biden's paying for the ongoing genocide, but forgetting the emergency situation in Gaza.

With no internet, no foreign reporters and world's focus on other issues, the men, women and children of northern Gaza dying slowly and silently.
