Jaffa "Tel Aviv" rose up, while Cairo, Amman, Baghdad, Tunis, the Gulf capitals, and the West Bank stayed silent The Arabs were absent All of them… gone.
Protests Erupt in Jaffa "Tel Aviv to Them"
Stop the War. Bring the Hostages Home Through an Agreement.
In one of the absurd twists of our time, settlers descendants of those who expelled and massacred our ancestors are now taking to the streets of Tel Aviv, protesting the starvation campaign and war on Gaza.
“Carrying sacks of flour”... Israelis march through Tel Aviv denouncing their government’s starvation policies against Gaza.
On Tuesday, Tel Aviv witnessed a protest against the Israeli government’s use of starvation as a weapon against Palestinians in Gaza. The protest marched under the banner: “The Flour March.”
The procession wound its way through Tel Aviv's streets, denouncing the deliberate starvation of Gaza and demanding that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government allow humanitarian aid into the besieged territory.
Protesters held signs calling the starvation “a war crime and a crime against humanity.” They expressed solidarity with the people of Gaza, calling what is happening there “a calculated act of mass murder.”
The march, organized by Jewish and Arab leftist groups individuals and movements united in their rejection of occupation and colonialism, advocating for human rights and social justice from a progressive and anti-Zionist perspective was the first of its kind. Protesters held signs in Arabic, Hebrew, and English, declaring:
“We stand against the starvation of Gaza”
“Do not lose your compassion”
They carried images of Gaza’s children, emaciated from hunger, and flour sacks to symbolize the solidarity with families who can no longer find bread to feed their children.
One of the speakers at the march raised heart-wrenching questions:
“What are we supposed to feel?
What are we, as Israelis, supposed to feel when we see a mother burying her children alive in Gaza
and we’re told this is for our safety?
What do we feel when they say this is being done to bring back the hostages
the same excuse we’ve heard for one or two years?
How should we feel when our children are sent to commit war crimes?
Or when we witness another soldier die in this endless war?”
He added:
“We are left with no choice but to expose this truth, to show this reality to every person in Israel.”
Between Egypt and Gaza... A Fence Separates Hunger from Humanity
Between Egypt and Gaza stands a single fence thicker than prison walls.
At that fence, two million souls beg for bread.
Egyptian soldiers watch bodies collapse from hunger before their eyes and not a flicker of conscience stirs.
Those who survive Israeli bombs arrive carrying tattered flour bags mixed with blood and dust
just to feed their families in humiliation that defies description.
While Tel Aviv holds the “Flour March,”
there has been no protest from Al-Azhar,
no statement from the World Union of Muslim Scholars.
Instead, they deleted their already timid condemnations of genocide.
Where Are the Arab Pressure Tools?
Why doesn’t Qatar threaten to cut gas exports to the world until the slaughter in Gaza stops?
Why don’t the oil monarchies leverage their petroleum to lift the famine off Gaza’s children?
Why can’t Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, the UAE, Bahrain, or even Turkey sever ties at least symbolically with Israel?
Why won’t Turkey shut its embassy in Tel Aviv, halt trade, or withdraw from NATO, which funds Gaza’s destruction and the destruction of Arab capitals?
The tools exist but the will is dead.
The Middle East holds enough leverage to shatter Israel and America, but its leaders prefer to crush Palestinian dreams of freedom and independence.
It’s not power we lack it’s dignity. It’s humanity.
In the fantasy capital Tel Aviv, a "Flour March" calls out hunger.
Operation "Flood" didn’t just expose the cruelty of the occupier
it revealed the slaves of Trump and Netanyahu among the Arabs.
These Jews are protesting starvation in the heart of Tel Aviv.
Meanwhile, in some Arab nations, even talking about protest earns you a prison sentence.
Each day we sink lower.
So low that some Israelis have more moral clarity than entire Arab governments and their masses.
The Flour March won’t cleanse Israel’s crimes.
But it is a slap in the face to every Arab regime that criminalizes even empathy for Gaza.
It’s a chilling message to Arab populations: You are worse than the enemy.
What truly crushes the soul is not just Arab silence
but how comfortably they coexist with genocide,
as if it has nothing to do with them.
Hunger has become a weapon. Death has become bread. And no one flinches.
This isn’t just the death of conscience
it’s the total collapse of humanity.
The shame isn’t in Israel being criminal that’s its nature.
The shame is in those who claim to support the Palestinian cause,
but now guard its borders, close the crossings, and distract their nations with festivals and football matches—
while people are buried alive.
It’s no longer surprising to find glimpses of humanity among the enemy.
What’s shocking is the total absence of humanity among official Arab voices,
their media, their leaders, and even their people’s awareness.
The enemy kills us with colonial violence.
Our “brothers” kill us with collusion, silence, and empty disclaimers: “Don’t blame us it’s our governments.”
But history will judge you all like it or not.
And for every soul that betrayed Gaza…
the verdict is already sealed: an unforgivable moral failure.
Elsewhere... A World That Still Feels
In London, a group of pro-Palestinian activists organized a solidarity flotilla through the Lea River
sailing small boats in protest.
Meanwhile, in the Arab world?
Over 400 million people live like the walking dead
numbed by concerts, tournaments, and distractions,
as if nothing is happening.
Picture this:
While international media broadcasts protests in Tel Aviv demanding an end to the Gaza blockade,
Arab media reports that the Arab League whose members paid Trump billions
held an “emergency summit” on the humanitarian disaster in Gaza…
and their only outcome?
A statement condemning Israel for “causing famine.”
To everyone who took to the streets and raised our voice our brothers and sisters in humanity, who stood against this genocide, refused to join in our starvation, who shouted for the starving, for the children, for Gaza, even though they do not share our faith, our heritage, or our tongue your humanity, and the horror you witnessed in Gaza, awoke your conscience.
From the depths of every hollowed stomach, we thank you. You did not abandon us.
I don’t know how I will ever recover from this shock…
I don’t know if I can still hold onto my Arab identity, after living among those who claim Islam yet in this test proved themselves faithless nay, worse than unbelievers.
How can I weep for their tears, or rejoice at their joy, when they have failed us so utterly?
Aid Organizations: Out of Supplies
Meanwhile, the Norwegian Refugee Council, which has supported hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents since the war began, announced Tuesday that it had run out of supplies, and its workers are starving.
Council Director Jan Egeland told Reuters:
“We have handed out our last tent. Our last food package. Our last emergency supplies.
There’s nothing left.”
“Israel refuses to relent they only want the starvation to continue,” he said.
Similarly, the head of the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, reported:
“Our staff, doctors, and aid workers are fainting on duty due to hunger and exhaustion.”
“No one is spared. Gaza’s caregivers themselves now need care.
Doctors, nurses, journalists, humanitarian workers
they’re all starving.”
So you don’t forget the occupation’s crimes alongside the famine and siege:
a baby was killed in his mother’s womb after their apartment in Tal al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, was targeted.
Even if you are still in your mother’s womb, they will kill you.
A young man was filming his friend sitting peacefully by the sea, draped in a keffiyeh, soaking in a rare moment of calm.
Moments later, an Israeli drone strike ended it all.
The entire scene was captured on camera.
Joy turned into ashes in a heartbeat.
Even the sea is no longer safe in Gaza.
Stand with us donate now and share 🇵🇸❤️🙏
We have no source of income during this war
we survive solely on the mercy of donations.
That’s all that keeps us alive.
Not jobs. Not savings. Just the kindness of strangers…
while everything else around us is reduced to rubble.
I cannot bring myself to click 'like', how do I signal a like for that which fills me with tears and anger.
Perhaps it’s no surprise that some in Tel-Aviv show more moral courage, for they know well that while the world sits, watches, and waits for 'inconvenient' people to be erased, they know that Jewish people will ultimately bear the blame.
I am ashamed to be human, for I am not separate from my fellow men. Shame on us all
So true alas, so true and so sad. I can barely look up at the screen but Aljazeera educates me without my eyes, still.
I can't believe the world's appalling response. Only the humanitarians and those countries, like south africa that understand what living under colonial rule feels like. They can empathise as must human beings can (I hope) but it is not those people that have the power to stop this. Power is continuously passed to the wrong people all over the world.
