Israel's genocidal war on the besieged Palestinians of Gaza has entered its 400th day.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed more than 43,500 Palestinians, 70 percent of them women and children, and wounded over 102,700 others, according to local health authorities.
According to a report published by the UN Human Rights Office on November 8, about 80 percent of the victims were killed in residential buildings or similar housing. The most represented of verified fatalities were children aged 5 to 9, between ages 10 to 14, and babies and children from 0 to 4 years old.
Analysts say the estimate is conservative and the actual death toll could be around or beyond 200,000, as thousands of Palestinians remain missing or buried under debris of bombed homes and shops. Another 10,000 have been abducted and jailed at Israeli torture sites.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its military campaign in Gaza, where its has uprooted almost all 2.4 million people and continues to starve tens of thousands by blocking crucial aid.
Netanyahu's aide Eli Feldstein has been arrested for leaking edited documents about a fabricated Hamas plan that the Israeli government used to obstruct a ceasefire, leading to public turmoil and a big question:
Did the PM sabotage the hostage deal for his political survival?
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has expressed strong solidarity with the Palestinian people, condemning world leaders for being complicit with genocide.
Every time I've visited another country (I'm a country boy from Texas), and I've shown a genuine interest and curiosity about their culture, 99 time out of 100 the folks there get excited and love sharing their world with me. Honestly, it's the only way to travel. I've had so much fun traveling and meeting new people. It's the best way to destroy stereotypes and build bridges.
My name is Maram , I'm 27 years old , pharmacist from Gaza, I'm trying to evacuate my family ( father , mother , 3 sisters , and my brother ) to save them from the war and for treatment of my father ( he suffers from cartilage problem in his back , and he made 3 operations in Gaza and now his case become more worse with the war and there is no diagnosis , treatment or operating rooms now in gaza ) , we lost our home also and everything.
I hope you can help me by donating even it's 10€, it can make difference, or sharing of my gofundme link

Help Akram and Malik save their family and their dreams!
@akramdwaik
Arkam and Malek are twin brothers who were just about to graduate high school and go on to pursue their higher education. Akram dreams of working in agricultre, and Malek wants to become a doctor. But the war on Gaza has destroyed their home and their school, and now it is a struggle just to keep their family safe. They need the funds to relocate, so that Akram and Malek can continue their studies in peace and their family, including a one year old niece, can live without fear.
But their fundraiser has yet to reach $1,000.

Genocide flattens every discussion. There are no new conversations to be had about the destruction, death and cruelty. After more than a year, there is nothing left to be said about various media houses, corporations and international bodies of law aiding and abetting all that has been happening in Gaza, either. It is the banality of evil, it is colonialism. However even in this atrociously banal circumstance, I do think what still is a continued point of hope for Gazans and what still pushes so many of them to reach out to the world, is the support people around the globe have shown and still continue to show. Which is why I am here on behalf of the Shehab family ( @fahedshehab-new ) and requesting you to help them survive through this winter. This won't take much of your time so please read:
Fahed is currently supporting 13 family members in total- his own family and that of his sister’s.
He has to look after 8 children now, with the youngest being his son Yayha who is barely having anything to eat because the price of baby milk is exorbitantly high in Gaza.
The genocide has taken a toll on Fahed’s daughters. Sahar and Dana spent a whole year under the threat of bombs and right now instead of getting to be teenagers, they ask their father if they will survive. They have even said they don't want to live if they lose someone.
The family right now immediately needs clothes to keep them warm throughout winter. Fahed’s family is from the north and has been displaced several times before they came south. Displacement is dangerous and a silent killer because often essential items are lost and cannot be replaced in time.
Please consider that the weather has already turned colder around the world and that which is only mildly uncomfortable to us, presents a dire situation for Gazans. The families don't have a shelter and there is no way for tents to adequately protect from cold winds and rain. So right now the immediate need is for warm clothes and it can cost upto $400 per person. With THIRTEEN PEOPLE to take care of Fahed immediately needs to raise at least 5k to buy the required apparels. So please boost and donate.
Currently at $66,248. He needs to reach $71,248. Please help however you can.

Look, Tyra Banks is problematic and has been rightfully criticized for the many, many problematic statements she had made on ANTM. But, there's something so hypocritical and rage-inducing about seeing White women viciously commenting on Tyra Banks' physique and appearance at the Victoria Secret Fashion Show, saying that she deserved it for making women feel bad on ANTM.
There are a couple things that I think need to be addressed which is:
1. Using fatphobic statements and bodyshaming Tyra Banks and thinking that it's justified becos she had made fatphobic and bodyshaming statements before, does not make you any better than she was. You are still bodyshaming. Also seeing White women thinking they are justified in shaming a Black woman's body? No, fucking no.
2. The individualizing of systemic problems to Tyra Banks. Banks is literally not the only person on ANTM who bodyshamed the contestants on the show. The other judges had participated in it as well, and it tells you a lot about the modelling industry in general. Banks has also been criticized and denied jobs in the past for not meeting beauty standards as a curvy Black woman. Is it too far of a stretch to consider that in order for her, a curvy Black woman, to succeed in the modelling industry, she'd internalized a bunch of toxic beauty standards?
All this to say, I think it's possible to re-evaluate Tyra Banks' legacy and hold her accountable for what she has said and the harm she's complicit in upholding, while also making space to be compassionate and nuanced about her. I mean, if (mostly White) women can see Ballerina Farm as a victim while she's been profitting off promoting white supremacist, cisheteronormative patriarchal values in a pretty soft-lit package to young impressionable pple, I think we can do the same for Tyra Banks?
Anyways, please read this:
As Banks’s legacy comes under fire, the tension between outdated standards “supermodels” like Banks represent and today’s values of inclusiv

Also it's like... yall really will condemn Tyra Banks for yelling and putting down contestants on ANTM, but wheres the same energy for Gordan Ramsay for perpetuating toxic kitchen culture? Hes now been re-invented into his cuddly bear family man type. Literally, 2000s era reality shows really made bank off cruelty, Banks is merely one of many "tyrants" on 2000s reality tv and it feels like she's been made into a convenient scapegoat.
