Welcome to Palestine Nexus

For us in Gaza, transport has become a daily struggle shaped by economic collapse, fuel shortages, and damaged infrastructure as Israel continues to bomb the enclave. 

“Something darkly funny about an app warning you that your post about a massacre is “too violent,” as if the violence begins with the image and not the act. The platform is offended—not by death, but by its documentation.”

Altogether, Israel expelled 300,000 Palestinians and 130,000 Syrians from their homes, leveling 131 Syrian villages and destroying 30 Palestinian villages, hamlets, herding communities, and refugee camps in whole or part (1, 2, 3). Israel wanted the land it conquered, just not the people living on it, the core principle of the Zionist movement.

In Masaffer Yatta, each month brings new demolitions: homes, wells and sheep enclosures. We are left with few choices: to leave, to demolish our homes, or simply wait. Even when our villages are not destroyed by Israeli occupation forces, they are attacked by settlers who set fires, steal cars and take over our towns.
