The Rimal neighborhood post warned of the risks of displacement: the loss of land, homes, and identity, and the repetition of a historic catastrophe for future generations. It called on residents to hold fast to their land "no matter how severe the conditions," and to strengthen solidarity among families and refugee camps to withstand the crisis.
It ended with a defiant message to residents: "You are the first line of defense for our dignity and our right to live on our land. Do not allow a new Nakba. Your strength is in your steadfastness, and the hopes of the entire nation rest upon you. Gaza was and will remain a symbol of dignity and freedom, and it will not break no matter how many conspiracies multiply."
The hashtags #GazaWillNotLeave and #NakbaWillNotRepeat spread widely alongside the post.
