She stresses to not stop making noise because when noise stops nobody will care about Gaza anymore, they’ll be normalized to it. That protests need to be bigger and to have more of them to “keep fighting, keep organizing more and more”
And that’s she’s lost everything; she doesn’t even have clothes.
Here is the last part I recorded with her updates from Rafah
This ended as gunshots are heard in the background and she loses connection again. TW for that.
This is your reminder that she is in Rafah and it’s a designated safe zone. She goes where Israel says it’s safe.
for those who don’t know, rafah is the farthest south point in the gaza strip, and this is where the border into the egyptian sinai peninsula is. israel kept emphasizing at the start of this conflict that they’re only attacking the north and that going south is safe, and now they’re doing the same shit in the south.
and now as of four hours ago the idf has begun besieging the last operating hospital, Nasser hospital, in Gaza and Bisan doesn’t know if she’ll make it out alive.
I’ll make a new post with the video since Tumblr won’t let me add it.
Her last update posted was 3 hours ago. She was discussing fleeing the hospital and the IDF invading it as they’ve done in other hospitals.

a reminder that your advocacy for ending the occupation of Palestine should also extend to advocating for Indigenous and First Nations peoples’ liberation in your own country. The anti-colonial struggle is a global one. Show up for Indigenous people everywhere you can because we are under occupation almost everywhere. Not to mention the Zionist occupation is supported almost exclusively by the colonial world powers. Your advocacy for the liberation for Palestine must go hand in hand with advocacy for First Nations liberation and Land Back.
Irregardless of whether the strike is over or not, don’t stop talking about it. Keep donating, keep making art, just keep talking about Palestine. Palestine is not a trend. It is not a thing you only engage in for a few days and then drop like a toy you don’t want to play with anymore. It is a matter of life or death whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
If we go quiet now, we are allowing more horrors to happen and more genocide to happen and little to no way for those suffering in Palestine to get their voice heard if we do not keep discussing.
I found this thing while drunk in the woods, and I was with friends so it wasn’t particularly scary, but it definitely felt more alive than you would expect
I’m sorry to hijack this post. BUT DO NOT LET NETFLIX PROFIT OF THE GENOCIDE. You can watch Palestinian movies, made by Palestinians for FREE on Aflamuna and the Palestine Film Institute. Please remember how Noah Schnapp is not facing any consequences for his racist and Islamophobic and endorsement of genocide while Stranger Things is still on and well-promoted by Netflix.
