What is happening in Gaza has left the pure pens, which are rare and very few, unable and astonished in the face of the shock they witness in Gaza around the clock!

Documenting the Tragedy

How do we document what the government media office in the Gaza Strip mentioned in early April 2025, that the "Israeli army killed 490 Palestinian children in the past 20 days?! And how do you compose for humanity the story of the burning of the journalists' and media professionals' tent at the beginning of the first week of April, leading the number of media personnel and journalists killed to reach 210 martyrs?! And how do we announce to the world the 'camp massacre' that resulted in more than 100 martyrs and injured in the shelling of the displaced camps west of Rafah?!

Erasing Gaza's Identity

How do we tell future generations that the Zionist aggression against Gaza, which has been ongoing since October 2023, managed to completely erase the city of Rafah in the southern part of the Strip from the map?! And how do we tell the world the story that 'Israel' has erased 902 families, leaving not a single member?

The Horror of Individual Stories

And how do the pens describe the burning of journalist Ahmed Mansour, live on air, in his tent designated for journalists?! And how can the pen write the phrases describing the slaughter of a little girl who is no more than 3 years old, her head severed, while her father screams: Where is my daughter's head?! And how does the pen describe the state of the man who was martyred with a piece of bread in his hand that he had not eaten and was betrayed before the morsel reached his mouth?! And how does the writer clarify the situation of the mother who says that her daughter was burned before her eyes?!

The Innocence of Gaza's Children

And how do pens express the killing of children while they sleep peacefully and innocently, with no fault of their own except that they were born in Gaza?! And how does the writer convey to the world the Israeli army's contempt for the lives of paramedics and the burning of their vehicles as if they were in a video game?!

The Strength of Gaza's Women

How does the writer depict the tragedy of that Gaza Palestinian woman as her husband and son were killed right before her eyes, and her other son's leg was amputated, so she tied his foot with her scarf and carried him for a distance of 4 kilometers?!

Destruction of Vital Infrastructure

How can we explain to the world Israel's complete destruction of the "Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital" in the city of Al-Zahra in southern Gaza, which is the only refuge for cancer patients in the sector?!

The Starvation of Gaza's People

How can the pen write about these Palestinian children who are crying after running out of food and cannot find anything to eat, or about these men who are searching through the garbage for a morsel to quench their hunger?! And how can the Israeli war of starvation against more than one and a half million people in Gaza be conveyed to humanity?!

Unimaginable Crimes

And how do we express about that drone that killed four unarmed young men, or those infant children who froze to death from the cold, or that elderly woman who the Zionists unleashed their police dogs upon to terrorize and film her?! And how does the pen convey the call to prayer of the muezzin while he is crying in the mosques of Gaza?!

Targeting Displaced Persons

And how can we describe the crime of "Israel" in burning 50 martyrs and turning them into fragments in its targeting of the "Kuwaiti Peace" camp for displaced persons on May 26, 2024?!

Mistreatment of the Wounded

And how does the pen depict that wounded Palestinian, Mujahid Al-Blas, who was mistreated by the Israeli army in June 2024, during his arrest from the Al-Jabriyat neighborhood in Jenin, while he was tied up and thrown in a humiliating manner on the front of an Israeli military vehicle passing through the streets of the city?

Massacres in Schools

And how do we talk to future generations about an "Israeli" strike that killed more than 90 Palestinians and injured dozens, in the early morning of August 10, 2024, as a result of a bombardment targeting a school for displaced persons in the Al-Daraj neighborhood in eastern Gaza?

The Need for Documentation

And how can we transfer hundreds of thousands of images that require a complete Palestinian encyclopedia to document the truth, the pains, and the disasters?!

International Recognition of Brutality

The recent crimes, occurring this month, prompted the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs to affirm that the "Israeli" bombardment of populated areas "bears the marks of brutal crimes"!

The Power of the Pen

Whoever thinks that the pen is a lifeless tool for writing is mistaken. The pen is the living conscience that conveys the realities of people; it is the instrument that speaks the truth and pain, carrying the cries of the bereaved, orphans, widows, the poor, the displaced, and the persecuted! The living pen is the translator of thought, intellect, and conscience. Our pens are a trust upon our necks; either we use them to speak the word of truth and conscience, or we break them and do not write the word of falsehood!
