The Gaza DiariesFor over 200 days and nights, Bisan Owda, a Palestinian journalist, activist, and content creator has been documenting the Zionist occupation’s genocide of her people in Gaza, sharing the truth of the colonizers’ horrific crimes to the rest of the world – in real time, via social media.
This is Volume 2 of BY BISAN, a documentary compilation of Bisan’s Instagram coverage of the Gaza Holocaust from January 15th , 2024 to April 23rd, 2024 – days 101 to 200 of the genocide. This was assembled in the interest of inspiring the masses to form solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation in the face of this monstrous colonial violence.
But our Bisan is not just a journalist; she is a Hakawatya (“storyteller”) committed to documenting and displaying the rich beauty of Palestinian culture, history, and everyday life. This is not just the record of a Holocaust, but an unprecedented portrayal of the strength, kindness, and humanity of a people who have never wavered in defying their oppressors with undefeatable joy and their passionate love of life.
Let the world watch this and come to understand the people we've failed for over 200 days – Let it reinvigorate our commitment to fighting for a free Palestine. This is not just History - this is REALITY, and it is NOT OVER.
Bisan, if you ever see this: thank you for everything you’ve done. I’m so sorry we’ve taken so long to act. I pray that one day we can meet and walk together in a free Palestine…please stay alive until then.
Please watch and share these videos wherever you can, because this is something that the world NEEDS to see, and social media algorithms will NOT be kind to it. These are voices and stories that the Powers That Be have murdered countless journalists and storytellers to suppress…Do not let them silence us!!

FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, PALESTINE WILL BE FREE!Bisan: The Diary of a Palestinian Dreamer (vol. III)The Gaza Diaries2024-08-21 | For over 300 days and nights, Bisan Owda, a Palestinian journalist, activist, and content creator has been documenting the Zionist occupation’s genocide of her people in Gaza, sharing the truth of the colonizers’ horrific crimes to the rest of the world – in real time, via social media.
By Bisan: Vol. 3 is, like its two predecessors, a documentary compilation of Bisan’s Instagram coverage of the Gaza Holocaust from April 23rd , 2024 to August 1st, 2024 – days 201 to 300 of the genocide. But this Volume is different in that its editor, Vivian Strange, has finally inserted herself into the story to reflect how the Gaza genocide has impacted her as she's followed Bisan through this valley of death for over 300 days.
The Palestinian Holocaust has lasted over 300 days, nearly an entire year straight of relentless bombardment by the Z!0n!st entity and terrorist state "Israel"...directly facilitated and funded every step of the way by the United States government and its Western allies. We've tried to stop it, through massive global protests, Gaza Solidarity Encampments on dozens of college campuses, boycotts and divestments, and making a lot of noise on social media...but none of it has stopped the bombs from falling on Bisan and her beloved Gaza.
I've asked everyone to watch and share the documentaries in this series, because of how suppressed they are by YouTube and social media algorithms...but that hasn't really seemed to do much, so watch and share this entry if it pleases you; after all, it's not like these historical records are something that over 160 Palestinian journalists have been assassinated to prevent from reaching the masses or anything...
...otherwise, avert your eyes, continue to blissfully go about your days, and fill your social media with insipid "discourse" about movies and celebrities and Disney shows or whatever it is that's more important to you than children getting massacred with American bombs. It makes absolutely no difference now.
Really, what else is there to say? (this film is the best answer I have to offer)
Bisan, whether you ever see this or not...I'm so so sorry... ...but never EVER forgive us. We don't deserve the grace.

For over 100 days, Palestinian journalist and storyteller Bisan Owda has documented Israel's genocide of her people and shared it with the world via social media. Most of us have seen Bisan's story unfold in pieces over the last three-and-a-half months, but in this documentary, her work has been compiled and assembled into a singular piece, in the interest of informing and inspiring the masses to form solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for liberation in the face of monstrous colonial violence.
This is not just a timeline of war updates though, as our Bisan is a storyteller and creator who has committed herself to documenting and displaying the rich beauty of Palestinian culture, history, and everyday life. This is not just the record of a Holocaust, but an unprecedented portrayal of the strength, kindness, determination, and humanity of a population who has never wavered in defying their oppressors with a passionate appreciation and love of life.

2. youtu.be/4ukWd4ZyIjE?si=Jmg5DRIeqdbCIrqiThe Gaza Diaries: Week 3 (10.21.23 - 10.27.23)The Gaza Diaries2024-05-18 | Since October 7th, 2023, the illegal Zionist fascist state of Israel has been carrying out a calculated genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the culmination of a brutal 75-year colonial occupation of Palestine by the Zionist entity Israel.
Genocide is the standard defining feature of colonialism, but the Gaza Holocaust is unique in human history for being the first genocide to be streamed live on social media for all the world to watch unfold in real time, and this is only made possible by the courage, determination, and strength of the Palestinian journalists and content creators who have been putting themselves directly in danger in order to document the truth of what their people are experiencing.
These are the Gaza Diaries, a humble effort by a white Western colonizer to aggregate, preserve, and present a timeline of the Gaza genocide using the social media footage of twelve of these Palestinian journalists, storytellers, and creators.
Despite the medium through which the Gaza Diaries are being released, THIS IS NOT ENTERTAINMENT. THIS IS NOT CONTENT. This is a historical documentary meant to serve as a historical record of the atrocities committed by the terrorist state Israel and the global powers that fund and support them.
Keep this in mind, as the contents of these Diaries are very graphic and very upsetting. Viewer discretion is STRONGLY advised. But for people in the West, in particular white people, and in particular white people who (like me) are located at the heart of the American empire -- viewing is STRONGLY recommended. These are the atrocities we are complicit in. This is the truth, and it is our mission to witness it.
