Seguimos escuchando realidades de mujeres del mundo. De verdad escuchamos? xitter.cf/i/status/2030236585736…
En el próximo #8M la izquierda no las recordará, pero nosotros siempre estaremos con Masih Alinejad y con la lucha de las mujeres iraníes frente al régimen islámico.

Desde un refugio en Israel. El sonido de la alarma tiene algo imposible de describir hasta que se vive. No es solo ruido: es una orden biológica. El cuerpo se mueve antes que el pensamiento. Tomar el teléfono, buscar a quienes están cerca, cerrar la puerta reforzada, contar mentalmente a los hijos, a los amigos, a los ancianos. Aquí abajo hay respiraciones contenidas. Una niña pregunta cuánto falta para volver a casa. Nadie sabe qué responder. Un hombre intenta seguir leyendo las noticias aunque las manos le tiemblan ligeramente. Una mujer reparte agua como si ese gesto pudiera devolverle al mundo algo de normalidad. Desde afuera, las guerras suelen parecer debates estratégicos o confrontaciones ideológicas. Desde dentro —desde la vida civil— la guerra es otra cosa: es la interrupción brutal de la rutina, la conciencia permanente de la fragilidad. Cada misil dirigido hacia una ciudad recuerda que detrás de las palabras “guerra” o “geopolítica” existen millones de civiles intentando vivir vidas normales. El miedo no es abstracto. Tiene horarios, sonidos y consecuencias emocionales. Cambia la manera de dormir, de planificar el día siguiente, incluso de imaginar el futuro. Y aun así, algo sorprendente ocurre: la vida insiste. Alguien hace un chiste. Otro comparte comida. Un niño logra reír. En medio del peligro, la sociedad civil demuestra una resiliencia silenciosa que raramente aparece en los titulares internacionales. Entre el miedo y la esperanza Vivir bajo amenaza constante produce cansancio moral. No solo miedo, sino una pregunta profunda: ¿hasta cuándo? #admatai Muchos ciudadanos del Medio Oriente —israelíes, iraníes,libaneses y otros pueblos— no desean guerras interminables ni liderazgos basados en el fanatismo religioso o la destrucción del otro. La mayoría aspira a algo simple y revolucionario al mismo tiempo: vivir en paz. Desde este refugio resulta evidente que los extremismos religiosos terminan perjudicando primero a las poblaciones civiles que dicen representar. Las sociedades merecen dirigentes que construyan convivencia, no enemigos perpetuos. La historia muestra que ninguna región está condenada eternamente al conflicto. Europa también conoció guerras devastadoras antes de elegir cooperación y tolerancia como base de su futuro. Quizás el Medio Oriente esté acercándose a un momento similar. Imaginar el día después Mientras esperamos que pase la alerta, pienso que toda guerra plantea una decisión moral colectiva. ¿Seguiremos aceptando ciclos infinitos de violencia? ¿O este sufrimiento abrirá finalmente espacio para un nuevo Medio Oriente más tolerante, donde la diversidad religiosa y cultural no sea una amenaza sino una riqueza compartida? Un futuro pacífico requerirá que los regímenes que alimentan el odio, el terror y el fanatismo pierdan influencia frente a sociedades civiles que reclaman dignidad, desarrollo y convivencia. Los pueblos de la región no nacieron para vivir en refugios. Nacieron para construir ciudades abiertas, universidades llenas, mercados vivos, conversaciones entre vecinos que no se teman. La sirena termina. Durante unos segundos nadie se mueve. Luego alguien abre la puerta lentamente. Volvemos a la superficie con la cautela de quien no sabe todavía si el peligro terminó. Salir del refugio nunca se siente como una victoria militar. Se siente como una oportunidad más de seguir viviendo. Escribo esto desde Israel, desde mi experiencia personal, con miedo pero también con esperanza. Porque incluso aquí, bajo tierra, entre alarmas y misiles, persiste una convicción profunda: el futuro del Medio Oriente no puede construirse sobre el miedo permanente, sino sobre la tolerancia, el respeto mutuo y el derecho de todos los pueblos a vivir en paz. Quizás —cuando esta guerra termine— recordemos estos días como el momento en que las sociedades civiles comenzaron a exigir, con una voz imposible de ignorar, un nuevo comienzo para la región.

DE A POCO LAS MENTIRAS QUEDAN BIEN EXPUESTAS. Portavoz de la @ONU_es: "Una investigación interna concluyó q trabajadores de ayuda humanitaria de @UNRWA en Gaza “muy probablemente” participaron en la masacre de Hamas del 7/10/23" COMPARTE HASTA CANSARTE.

🇮🇷 | URGENTE — Las mujeres iraníes se quitan los velos en pleno centro de Teherán, rebelándose ante la policía de la moral islámica. Estamos viviendo en Irán quizás la mayor revolución femenina del siglo XXI y no hay ni un medio cubriendo esto.

His name was Rami Ayyad. He was a Palestinian Christian living in Gaza, part of a community that once numbered several thousand and today is reduced to a few hundred at most. He managed the Holy Bible Society bookstore, a small Christian institution that had operated quietly for years. By the mid-2000s, pressure on Gaza’s Christians had intensified. Armed Islamist groups were asserting control. Alcohol shops were bombed. Christian schools were attacked. Churches were vandalized. Christians were increasingly viewed not as Palestinians, but as outsiders. Rami Ayyad was repeatedly threatened. He received letters and phone calls telling him to convert to Islam or shut down the bookstore. Gunmen reportedly warned him directly. The bookstore itself was attacked before his murder. In October 2007, he was abducted on his way home. His body was found days later, shot multiple times. Local church leaders did not hesitate to say what happened. He was murdered because he was Christian. International human rights organizations reached the same conclusion. No serious investigation followed. No perpetrators were publicly brought to justice. The message was understood clearly by Gaza’s remaining Christians. Stay silent. Stay invisible. Or leave. Many did leave. This is the part rarely mentioned. Palestinians who are not Muslim do not only live under conflict. They also live under religious intimidation from within their own society. Their stories disappear. And so today, people who claim to defend Palestinian human rights ignore this case entirely. No marches. No slogans. No condemnation. Because acknowledging Rami Ayyad means admitting that oppression come from inside.

La asimetría informativa sobre las víctimas dentro de Gaza es sencillamente brutal. Cuando las muertes pretenden atribuirse a Israel, los datos aparecen de inmediato, con cobertura masiva en medios occidentales y repeticiones constantes. Pero cuando los verdugos son Hamás o milicias locales, el silencio informativo es abrumador.

Every single day, Palestinians are being executed in Gaza. Not by Israel. By Hamas. Men and women who dare to criticize them. Journalists who try to tell the truth. People accused, without proof, of “collaboration.” They are taken to the streets, beaten, and shot. Our own people murdered by those who claim to “defend” us. And yet, I don’t see a single protest. Not in London. Not in New York. Not in Paris. The same voices that march when Israel is involved suddenly disappear when Hamas kills Palestinians. If you truly care about Palestinian lives then care about all Palestinian lives. Silence in the face of Hamas’ terror is not solidarity. It’s complicity.

Desde que el ejército israelí se retiró hasta la línea de seguridad acordada, lo que hay en Gaza, de acuerdo con las informaciones que llegan de los propios gazatíes, de activistas palestinos y de medios locales, es un embrión de guerra civil. Ahora que no se tienen que preocupar por los soldados israelíes, los terroristas de Hamas están cazando y ejecutando a disidentes, enemigos políticos y, sobre todo, a los clanes familiares que no los apoyaron en su guerra contra los judíos. Las ejecuciones son públicas y brutales. Los clanes, que tienen sus propias armas, los están enfrentando y el resultado es un baño de sangre. Pero como no se le puede echar la culpa a Israel, las vidas de los palestinos que están siendo masacrados ahora no le importan a nadie. Es en este polvorín que, luego de la liberación de los rehenes, en las siguientes fases del acuerdo de paz que aún no terminaron de negociarse, debería establecerse un gobierno civil palestino, pero ningún gobierno civil podrá gobernar nada mientras Hamas continúe ejerciendo el monopolio de la fuerza, por eso es necesario su desarme. Nada de eso va a ser fácil. Tampoco será fácil el despliegue de una fuerza internacional. Los países con adultos a cargo que quieran que la paz dure deberían dejar de boludear con discursos fake y flotillas narcisistas y empezar a cooperar con EEUU, Israel, la ANP y los países árabes para encontrar los medios para que esto funcione.

Palestinians in Gaza celebrate the end of the war and announce that they have enough food to feed all of Gaza for 3 months. “The genocide and famine are over.” What do you notice?

I’m sick of hearing people say “both sides are led by extremists”, as if this conflict is some mirror image of two nations held hostage by radicals, while the silent “normal majority” on both sides supposedly just wants peace.This is not only wrong - it’s dangerously naive. Let’s start with us, Palestinians. Only a handful among us are willing to say out loud that the Right of Return - the idea that millions of us will one day “return” to live inside Israel, is a delusion. It’s not just unrealistic; it’s the fuel that keeps generations trapped in resentment instead of building a future where we are. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: this isn’t a fringe belief. It’s consensus. Ask anyone - educated or poor, secular or religious and they’ll tell you, “Of course we will return to our land.” That’s not extremism from the margins; that’s mainstream thought. Now look at Israel. Take the most far-right politicians: Ben Gvir, Smotrich, and others who might dream of a “Greater Israel” without Arabs. Their supporters represent maybe 10–18% of Israelis. It’s not consensus. It’s a political minority and not the soul of the country. That’s the asymmetry people refuse to see. On one side, a society where extreme goals like “returning to Haifa and Jaffa” are seen as sacred truth. On the other, a society where extreme goals like “expelling all Arabs” are rejected by the majority. Before you talk about “solutions,” understand this: you can’t solve what you refuse to see clearly. The problem isn’t “two extremists holding everyone hostage.” It’s that in our society, the extremism is the mainstream, and until we confront that, we will keep mistaking self-destruction for dignity.

Why are they celebrating so wildly? They went on holiday for weeks, with a handful of aid spread across 44 boats, got arrested, detained, deported and made zero difference to anyone in Gaza. A narcissistic pilgrimage to nowhere, for self-gratification.

Let’s say this clearly: Hamas to Palestinians is what Nazism was to Germans. Both were born from pain, humiliation, and real suffering. But both turned that pain into hate, not healing. They promised “honor,” but brought only death. They claimed to defend the people and destroyed them instead. The Nazis convinced Germans that salvation comes through annihilating another people. Hamas did the same, wrapping it in religion instead of nationalism. Both replaced logic with rage, education with propaganda, and compassion with martyrdom. Both used their own civilians as fuel for a holy war they never intended to win - only to rule through fear. We Palestinians cannot build a future while worshipping death. We cannot speak of liberation while following an ideology that murders dissent, silences women, and glorifies blood. If we ever want real freedom - moral, political, and human - Hamas must be banned, dismantled, and buried with the same moral clarity with which the world buried Nazism. Germany was reborn only after it faced its demons. Our rebirth, too, will begin the day we stop confusing resistance with self-destruction.

I’m tired of the lies we tell ourselves. Our leaders cry every day about “the occupation” as if history began in 1948, as if Israel is some unique monster in human history. But let me remind you of something that no one dares to speak out loud: we Arabs are the children of the biggest and longest occupation the Middle East and Africa have ever seen. In the 7th and 8th centuries, Arab tribes burst out of the Arabian Peninsula. Within just a few decades, they crushed the Byzantine Empire in Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. They destroyed the Persian Empire. They swept across North Africa, reaching all the way to Morocco, Spain, and even southern France. At its height, the Arab Caliphate ruled 13 million square kilometers - larger than Rome ever dreamed of. Millions of Persians, Berbers, Copts, Arameans, Jews, Greeks, and others suddenly found themselves under Arab rule. Their languages and faiths were pushed aside. Coptic faded in Egypt. Aramaic nearly died out. Even Persian was nearly erased until poets like Ferdowsi fought to keep it alive. Arabic became the dominant tongue, Islam the dominant faith. That was not liberation - it was occupation on a scale that reshaped entire continents. The Mongols came and went in about a century. The Romans ruled for centuries, but Latin disappeared from the Middle East. The British Empire held sway for 200 years, then collapsed. The Arab-Muslim conquests? It changed the identity of entire nations forever. Think about it: Egypt was Christian and Coptic-speaking for 600 years before the Arabs came. Today it is Arab and Muslim. North Africa was Berber and Roman. Today it is Arab and Muslim. The Levant spoke Greek and Aramaic. Today it speaks Arabic. Even Spain lived under Arab rule for 700 years. That is not just an “occupation” - that is a civilizational overhaul. And yet, in 2025, our leaders - who are themselves the product of this massive Arab occupation, weep about Israel, a sliver of land the size of New Jersey, calling it “the worst occupation.” Really? Compared to what the Arabs did to North Africa, Persia, and the Levant? Compared to the centuries-long Arab rule that erased identities, forced conversions, and remade entire regions? If we, Palestinians, want honesty, we must stop pretending that Israel invented occupation. The truth is bitter: we live in the shadow of the largest and longest Arab occupation in history. Blaming only Israel while worshiping our corrupt leaders who exploit this narrative is not justice, it’s cowardice. History matters. And if we don’t face it, we will remain slaves not to Israel, but to our own hypocrisy.
