Dear friends. This is the only BluSky account I have. I’ve been told that there are some fake accounts that ask for money using my name. These accounts do not belong to me. However, if anyone wants to support me and my work, these are the only ways. Thank you, Mosab Abu Toha 🍓🍓

Israel slaughtered 7-year-old Juri al-Sufie today at around 4 in the morning in Khan Younis. Juri just started her 2nd grade. Juri’s father was killed by israel in June 2025.

Her name is Mariam Ghanem. She is two and a half years old. At 4 a.m. today, she watched her mother being consumed by flames following an Israeli strike. Mariam miraculously survived the strike. Her father was slaughtered by Israel just a few months ago.

What you’re seeing here is just one aspect of the life children in Gaza have been enduring every single day. This is from an air strike today (9/23/2026) Two children running from an Israeli airstrike. Behind them lies the slain body of a victim.

Gaza has not stopped suffering simply because the Western mainstream media, much of whose coverage has favored Israel and amplified its propaganda, has completely stopped paying attention, or because you and those who fund Israel’s crimes and shield it have never cared about the Palestinians.

THIS IS VERY SERIOUS 🚨🚨🚨🚨 According to his lawyer, Nasser Odeh, Dr. Abu Safiya was struggling to breathe and speak, and during the meeting he appeared close to losing consciousness several times.

A 15-year-old girl has just succumbed to the injuries she sustained in today’s Israeli terrorist strike in Khan Younis (yesterday local time). Her name was Fatima al-Khatib. She is a relative of the one-month-old baby whose foot was severed in the strike.

Today my wife, Maram, and I planted two strawberry plants in memory of her father, who was a strawberry farmer, and my dear friend Refaat al-Areer, who loved strawberries. They were both killed by israel in August 2025 and December 2023 respectively. May their memories live forever. 🍓🍓

We miss you. We love you. I miss our time picking strawberries together. I miss our time reciting Arabic poetry to each other. I’s heartbreaking to just remember you are not in this world with us.

A Palestinian hostage has died today in Israeli concentration camp. His name is Mohammad Ahmad al-Halabi. Israel had held him hostage since 1991. (Note: in December 2023, Israel murder his son Ahmad. A month before that, Israel killed his sister, her husband, and their entire family.)

Thank you to Cultured Magazine for featuring me in this year’s Cult 100 List. It’s an honor to be recognized among those shaping today’s cultural conversation. Q: What are you looking forward to this year? A: Justice for the people of Palestine.

Oh, yes, very quietly. They’re not talking about it, neither in the media nor in the parliament. More, there are no videos. It’s so great you’re reporting on this. You’re doing a great service to humanity. I’m certain that governments around the world, especially many Western ones, will take action.

Today, Hatem Rayyan, a Palestinian paramedic who was abducted from Kamal Odwan Hospital on December 27, 2024, died in an Israeli prison. Rayyan was abducted from the same hospital and on the same day as Dr. Hussam Abu Safiyya.

In my own extended family, Israel killed my first cousin Tahrir and her husband and their five children (ages 17-6). That was in October 2023. In that strike, a second cousin named Mohammad Khader Abu Toha and his wife and their five children were killed (ages 18-2). Look below for more

2/3 Also Hammam Abu Toha was killed along with his wife and their children (ages 15-3) A few days after that, Israel killed another first cousin of mine named Noor al-Shantaf, along with her husband and their three children. Only one child survived.

3/3 Then a second cousin named Mohammad Ayman Abu Toha was killed along with his wife and their four children (ages 10-2). Only one children survived. I have made a few family trees of those families that Israel wiped out. Please share.
