The activists say of the Madleen, “She may be small, but her mission is powerful: To break the silence. To challenge Israel’s illegal blockade through nonviolent direct action. To stand firmly and unapologetically, with Gaza.”

unflinching June 2025
The concept of being unflinching refers to having the resolve, determination, and courage to remain steady and unchanged, especially in the face of adversity or challenge. This quality is about inner strength and steadfastness, it speaks to an individual’s ability to stand firm, unwavering, particularly in situations that may be daunting or challenging.
Hungriest place on Earth
Once far enough removed, everyone will be properly aghast that any of this was allowed to happen. But for now, it’s just so much safer to look away, to keep one’s head down, periodically checking on the balance of polite society to see if it is not too troublesome yet to state what to the conscience was never unclear. El Akkad, Omar. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.
#FastForGaza Reflections
The act of fasting converts the one's own body into evidence of the suffering in Gaza and the complicity of institutions or governments that sustain it. #FastForGaza
Intentionally Starving Palestinians
#FastforGaza Today is World Hunger Day, and I am joining the #FastforGaza to protest the treatment of the people of Gaza. The state of Israel is blocking all food and lifesaving aid from reaching Gaza, with the full support of the United States. People are dying from starvation. In protest, I am eating no food today and drinking nothing but water from sunrise to sunset. I hope my small symbolic act encourages an end to this terrible and preventable catastrophe.
Fast to feed Gaza
Tomorrow, May 28, is World Hunger Day. The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has a place to pledge to fast in solidarity with the starvation of the people of Gaza. And below, you will find detailed information from Code Pink on how to fast.
Expanding IDF Incursion into Gaza
We seem to be on the brink of significant changes in Israel's war against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are escalating their incursion into Gaza. This occurring while the deaths from famine rapidly increase. Children are dying from having no food.
Atomization of the people in Gaza
Starvation is a tool of colonization, weaponized to weaken bodies, fracture bonds, undermine social cohesion, fuel internal aggression, weaken resistance, and turn survival into an isolating struggle.
Hunger Strikes
Hunger strike means to go without food in solidarity with those suffering from hunger, from famine. It also means that hunger has striken the children, the people in Gaza and the West Bank.
Bombs and bulldozers
One of the primary reasons for the near blackout of news reports, images, and videos from Gaza and the West Bank is that people would see how bombs and bulldozers are in the final stages of making those areas unlivable. Trying to make the tenacious Palestinians finally give up and leave. Trying to make the conditions in Gaza and the West Bank "unlivable", and would require complete rebuilding from the ground up. Rebuilding under the control of Israel and its US enablers.
