I am currently living in Beit Hanoun, and my house is only 2 kilometers away from the tanks brutally shelling us right now. Bombing is everywhere. We are living in a state of unimaginable fear and terror. The entire town is destroyed - nothing remains but rubble.
I don't know whether to fear for myself, for our children, or for my elderly mother and father. My heart feels like it's about to burst out of my chest.
I've often wished I had been martyred at the start of the war so l wouldn't have to endure all of this.
Maybe this time we won't survive. But honestly, I would rather we all be bombed together, so none of us has to suffer the unbearable pain of losing the other — a pain that has rooted itself deep within us.
This life is utterly unfair and cruel beyond imagination.
I want to end with a message to everyone watching us being killed live on air: remember that we have dreams just like you, and we love life just as you do. But it seems our lives are meant only for death.
Fuck this vile world.

Fred Hampton was killed at 21 years old because he organized blacks and whites of all ages and backgrounds to stand up to the government on behalf of the working class while also leading mutual aid efforts so make the working class less reliant on the government.
And yall think the most powerful civil act is voting for what you believe is the less poisonous head of the same two headed snake?
The assassination of Fred Hampton and others like him prove that their biggest fear isn't that you'll vote for the other side. It's that you'll unite, realize there's no substantive difference at all between the two sides, and that if the people rely on one another the government has infinitely less power over them and the PEOPLE then have all the leverage.
Fred Hampton and others died for preaching and teaching this truth. But they can't kill all of us. ✊
