- 30 seconds from Gaza [graphic novel] : diary of genocide / by Sabaaneh, Mohammad,1979-author,illustrator.; Hodali, Nada,translator.; Pappé, Ilan,writer of foreword.;
Mohammad Sabaaneh bears witness to genocide in 30 Seconds from Gaza--a graphic reflection that captures the horror of experiencing mass atrocity through 30-second video snippets sent to his phone in real time after October 7th, 2025. Sabaaneh documents the brutal realities of life under Israeli occupation. His powerful illustrations confront the atrocities in Gaza and the West Bank, exposing the violence of apartheid and settler colonialism while honoring the unwavering resilience of the Palestinian people. After being shadow-banned on social media, and losing 15 years of content due to censorship, Sabaaneh began drawing from the very footage most at risk of being deleted. Each image in this book is an act of defiance--an effort to preserve a visual history that corporations and occupiers seek to erase.
