Ledger of Journalists, Doctors, Athletes, Artists & Public Figures from Gaza Killed by Israel (October 7, 2023 – August 29, 2025)

 


In Tribute to Gaza’s Bravest Souls

This is not just a ledger.
It is a roll call of courage.
The journalists who picked up their cameras even as bombs fell around them.
The doctors who kept treating patients in collapsing hospitals until the very moment they were killed.
The athletes who dreamed of lifting Palestine’s flag on the world stage, cut down before their prime.
The poets, painters, and teachers who resisted not with weapons, but with words, colors, and ideas too powerful to silence.
They are not collateral damage.
They are the heartbeat of Gaza — the healers, the storytellers, the dreamers, the defenders of memory.
Each name recorded here is a testament:
that Gaza’s spirit cannot be erased,
that dignity can outlive destruction,
and that resistance sometimes looks like holding a camera, writing a poem, saving a child, or playing a game of football under siege.
These were the bravest of souls.
They resisted until their last breath — and in their sacrifice, they ask the world not for pity, but for remembrance, justice, and voice.

🏗️ Corporate Complicity in Genocide: The Global Economy Behind Gaza’s Ruin.

📅 July 5, 2025 “We are witnessing not just genocide in Gaza—but a genocide made profitable.” — UN Special Rapporteur, A/HRC/59/23 “This report is written from the heart of darkness . It is penned with a broken hand from a broken land for a broken people . But its words are not broken . They are the words of law and of longing . They are the words of those who are not yet silenced . It is written for Palestinians , first and foremost. It is also addressed to those who remain silent , indifferent or complicit . And it is a call to action for those who are not.” — Introduction, UN Report A/HRC/59/23 In an unprecedented and unflinching report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has laid bare the truth that much of the world’s corporate, academic, and financial architecture is actively complicit in Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and now, genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just about military aggression . This is about the mac...

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

  By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

Tumbling of American Banks amid weak economic data that sparks recession fears.

 " Citigroup led big bank losses with a near 5 per cent fall. Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs fell about 4 per cent each, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America declined 2.7 per cent and 3.5 per cent, respectively. Lenders typically feel the squeeze as recessions heighten concerns over credit losses due to higher unemployment, while loan demand – a key factor in profitability – also takes a beating." https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/us-banks-tumble-weak-economic-data-sparks-recession-fears

WORLD OF EXCESS. Quotes of Corrine Maier

" we live in a world of excess: too many kinds of coffee, too many magazines, too many types of bread, too many digital recordings of Beethoven's Ninth, too many choices of rearview mirrors on the latest Renault. Sometimes you say to yourself: It's too much, it's all too much." ~  " We live in a society of ants, where working and reproducing represent the ultimate objective of the human experience. Work is the opiate of the people; will children be their consolation? A society where life consists of earning a living and raising your kids is a society with no future, since it has no dreams. Having a child is the best possible way to avoid asking what the meaning of life is, as everything revolves around that child, who is a marvellous substitute for the existential quest." "When you are "recruiting" people in temporary positions for the firm ( short term contracts, free lancers) treat them well, remember: they are the ones who actually do a...

Dr.Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

The first witness is thine own consciousness - See thyself, then, with thine own light. The second witness is the consciousness of another ego - See thyself, then, with the light of an ego other than thee. The third witness is God’s consciousness - See thyself, then, with God’s light. If thou standest unshaken in front of this light, Consider thyself as living and eternal as He! That man alone is real who dares - Dares to see God face to face! What is ‘Ascension’?Only a search for a witness Who may finally confirm thy reality - A witness whose confirmation alone makes thee eternal. No one can stand unshaken in His Presence; And he who can, verily, he is pure gold. Art thou a mere particle of dust? Tighten the knot of thy ego; And hold fast to thy tiny being! How glorious to burnish one’s ego. And to test its lustre in the presence of the Sun! Re-chisel, then, thine ancient frame; And build up a new being. Such being is real being; Or else thy ego is a mere ring of smoke! ...
