A ceasefire has been agreed upon in Gaza… After long days of blood and tears, we finally breathed a bit of calm. It’s not peace yet, but a rest for a soul exhausted by pain, and a small hope that what’s coming will bring mercy and safety for all our people. 💔🕊️

    I always forget how resilient and brave palestinians are. Despite all the suffering you have been through, you and your people have shown how cowardly and fragile the Zionist regime is and how resilience and patience is stronger than desperation.

    From the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free, and Palestine will never die!

    🇵🇸 ❤️

    It would be cool if we didn’t immediately doom on a post from a Palestinian who is expressing hope and gratefulness for the situation.

      I don’t think he knows what it means for the bloodshed to stop, to sleep without the sound of bombing or fear of any missile while in your deepest sleep. Yes, we know we might be betrayed again, but hope is a true blessing.

        I want to see it community respect the leadership of you and other Palestinian comrades one the issue. People can even disagree, but I think they should tread lightly in the way they discuss these topics, especially in certain contexts. I know a lot of what we discussed here is emotionally charged and it isn’t personal.

        Anyway, my solidarity is with on you, I hope and dream for a lasting peace for your community and our shared world. Solidarity o7

    the resiliency and bravery of the people of Gaza is historic. every single person there who endured such suffering or was martyred is a hero of humanity in my book. nothing is guaranteed, but I feel it deeply that history will vindicate the struggle of your people. I simply pray that the guns will fall silent today.

      Thank you from the heart for your beautiful and touching words. Yes, we lost the children of my uncle, aunt, and also my maternal uncles, and my brother is still struggling with his injuries. But despite all this pain, our resilience and hope remain unbroken. We pray that the guns fall silent today and that moments of peace, even if just a little, return to our people.

      I also hope so, even though I lost my home in northern Gaza and we have nowhere else to go. Still, we wish for the bloodshed to stop. 💔

    I hope this ceasefire will come to pass, that it will give Gazans and Palestinians in general the space to gather themselves, properly mourn those martyred, and strengthen the bonds between those who have survived.

    I am glad that you and your people have a reprieve from the horrors of genocide. I hope that during it, you are all able to rest, recover, and mourn those who have been martyred. I also hope that you’re able to prepare for the future, whatever that may hold.

    You have countless comrades in the western world who have worked these past 2 years in order to mitigate your suffering and stop the bloodshed. May their efforts bear fruit and the horrors stop.

      Your words touched me deeply 😢🙏 Thank you to everyone who stood with us, near or far, and to every free voice that still believes in the justice of our cause. We are trying to catch our breath, to mourn our loved ones, and to rebuild what remains of our lives. May God make these sincere efforts a reason for the end of oppression and the beginning of a new dawn for our people and for all the free souls in the world 🤍🇵🇸

    Sending my hopes to you and your people. The resistance has shown the world the cowardice and horror of the occupation along with the sheer resilience of the Palestinian people. Do not forget: someday, the occupation will end fully. Hopefully in a way more favorable for the resistance.

      Oh God 🤍😭 Your words alone made me smile and tear up at the same time… Just imagine tasting again the foods we used to love — their smell, their flavor, and us gathered around them. May God hear you, and may the coming days be filled with goodness, food, and joy for all of us 🙏

      Unfortunately, past experiences make us unable to trust their promises. But despite everything, we still hold on to hope that the blood of our people won’t be in vain, and that justice will come one day. 💔

        True. According to the news that do make out (and that I’m following, at least, so I’m surely missing out on some more “fun”), Israhell has carried out at least two strikes since the “deal”.

        The last time this happened, it at least led to a temporary reduction in terrorism from the false state. People didn’t think the flotillas would accomplish more than social awareness. Instead, the Palestinians managed to catch a ton of fish while the Nazi attack boats were busy.

        Relying on hope causes you to make mistakes; but abandoning it, even on the inside, leads to apathy.

        Apathy is what the thieves and abusers want. Do not give them what they want.

          Your words are very deep and sincere. Truly, hope is not weakness ، it’s awareness and steadfastness in the face of despair. Thank you for understanding the real picture and speaking with reason and conscience.

            Please remember everyone with a conscience is on your side. They all believe in the inevitability of the collapse of Imperialism and the justice that will always come after.

            The bravery and strength of the Palestinians, and all indigenous people throughout history, are the best example of humanity. You will continue to give the people of the future hope as well. For thousands of years.
