By: Sameh A. Habeeb

Dear Friends,
Some of you do wonder how I send news in such conditions. I really
suffer a lot to send you this update due to lack of power. I go
around 4 kilo meters a day in this cruel war where I charge my laptop
battery to be able to send this work! This is very risky since shells
rain down and drones hover over me! I will keep this up.

This is a new report for the 12th day of Gaza War and the outcomes of
Israeli invasion.

    Sameh…. Keep up the courageous work. Here’s one Jew against the actions of the Israeli government. It is just horrendous and most counter-productive to any peace efforts. God bless you.

    Dear Sameh,
    We pray for your safety and the safety of all Gaza residents. We ask God to give us, the wounded, and the bereaved patience to deal with this Calamity. We are writing to our elected representatives, signing petitions, and taking part in protests here in the US to expose the inhuman killing and destruction in Gaza. Additionally, we are collecting funds to help the people of Gaza.
    Please keep up the good work and be patient.

    -Sajid

    Dear Sameh,
    Our prayers are with you. We are outraged. Thank you for your bravery and courage in the face of inhuman acts. I am jewish and completely opposed to the Israeli project and governments. I have renounced my so called right of return, and support only Palestinians’ right of return. Phil.

    Sameh, you’re truly a hero. Keep the news coming as the world needs to know the hell our brothers are going through. THE ZIONISTS WILL NEVER BREAK THE SPIRIT OF THE ARAB WORLD. 60 years later, they still don’t get it!

    This mass murder of Palestinians can only make military sense if, in ways not yet known by Israel, it seguays to triggering a nuking by the USG of Iran, at which point the 1.5million Gaza Palestinians can be cold bloodedly murdered with the world too aghast at several million Iranian innocents being Holcausted by the USG to pay much attention to Gaza.

    Otherwise this is just a machismo stunt for the elections with shallow politicians jockeying to catch the narcissistically psychopathic electorates’ eye using hillocks of freshly dead Palestinians as stage props.
