🟥 The bomb blew her unborn baby from her womb. We now know who those children were. Their mother was a pregnant journalist.
Walaa al-Jabari is the 231st journalist killed in Gaza. Israel and the United States bombed her home — killing her, her husband, four of their children, and the baby growing inside her. This is evil.
✊🏽 If this work matters to you — if you believe in naming every victim, showing every face, and telling the truth no matter what — please support it now:
We are building an archive of truth that they cannot erase.
📹 The children in yesterday’s video — we now know who they were
🟥 Three Palestinian children were just bombed and burned to death. One was still connected by umbilical cord.

We saw them — lifeless in the back of an ambulance:
A toddler, burnt to a crisp
A young girl, maybe 12, crushed beneath him
A near-full-term infant, still attached to the umbilical cord, likely ejected from the womb by the blast
We didn’t yet know their names.
But now we do.
They were the children of Walaa al-Jabari, a Palestinian journalist, and her husband.
Israel and the United States bombed their home in Tal al-Hawa, southwest of Gaza City, on Wednesday.
They killed Walaa.
They killed her husband.
They killed four of their children.
And they killed her unborn baby — so violently that the fetus was blown from her womb.
How is this not the story leading every newscast on Earth?
🧕🏽 Walaa al-Jabari was a journalist. Her murder brings the total to 231.
231 journalists have been killed in Gaza — nearly all by Israeli bombs.
And Walaa’s death may be the most horrific of all.
She was a mother.
A writer.
Pregnant.
And in her own home — with her family — when the missiles came.
That wasn’t a mistake.
It was a message.
A message to truth-tellers:
No one is safe.
Not your family.
Not your womb.
Not even your body’s last sacred act — carrying life.
💢 How dare anyone call themselves “pro-life” and defend this?
What kind of movement calls itself “pro-life” —
but funds and excuses the obliteration of an entire family like this?
Where are the moral voices?
The outrage?
The red lines?
A mother.
A father.
Four children.
And a baby bombed out of the womb.
And Israel doesn’t even bother defending it anymore.
No explanation. No shame.
Because they know the United States will cover for them.
📜 This is not just immoral. It’s illegal.
Bombing civilians is a war crime
Targeting journalists is a war crime
Killing pregnant women and children in indiscriminate airstrikes is a war crime
Destroying entire families like this is the textbook definition of genocide
But there’s no investigation.
No tribunal.
No consequence.
Because Israel’s bombs are American.
Because Zionism is sacred in Western media.
Because Palestinian life is treated as disposable.
💔 I am angry. I am broken. And I won’t be silent.
I keep thinking about Walaa’s unborn baby —
how that baby never drew a breath.
Never opened its eyes.
Never even had the chance to cry.
And I keep thinking about the child burned black in the ambulance.
The sister who lay beneath him.
The people screaming in the background.
And all I feel is fire.
This isn’t complex.
This isn’t fog-of-war.
This is murder.
🛡️ If we don’t say their names, no one will
This platform exists to speak the truth no one else will.
We are not neutral.
We are not safe.
We are not silent.
We’re here to document the genocide.
To carry the names of the dead.
And to fight like hell so the world can’t pretend it didn’t know.

Because this was a family.
And now they’re gone.
With grief, rage, and resolve,

I’m so sick of Israel and I’m sick of the “pro-life Christians” who support this. I’m also sick of the people who respond to these horrific photos of wanton slaughter with “October 7!” or “hostages!”. They’re just full on Nazis at this point, like the NYT’s Bret Stephens.
I’m done too with those who criticize the Mexican flags at anti-ICE protests while ignoring all the elected who have Israeli flags outside their office doors and wear Israeli flag pins.
And now we’re losing our 1A rights for criticizing Israel, which is now considered “antisemitic.” Has anything similar ever happened for actual racism against POC? Of course not. That’s state endorsed.
Share widely. Stop the slaughter!
