Gaza Soup Kitchen is still running and feeding people in Gaza City!

Right now we have 7 kitchens running in and around Gaza City, 5 water trucks delivering fresh water every morning, and our health clinic is still seeing patients. Sadly, our classroom was bombed—but we’ve pivoted to something bigger: Delivered 4,250 food parcels so far; another 2,550 parcels ready to go; in the middle area, we delivered 600 parcels and opened a new kitchen; we keep showing up for hospitals with meals. Each food parcel = 40–60 meals. It’s not just about helping one family—it feeds whole networks of relatives, neighbors, and displaced people. In doing this, we’re also showing the world (and the bad actors watching us) that you can give away a lot of food in Gaza without harming Palestinians. Our signage makes that crystal clear. One moving moment: we’ve been operating from inside an Orthodox and Catholic church. Families shelter there, and they benefit from the food too. Our young team—many who had never met a Christian before—are learning about unity and friendship in real time. Feeding people from a church feels like something Jesus himself would have blessed. We hear the drones above us, and we know they don’t like what we’re doing. But we’ll keep feeding as long as we’re allowed. Our system works: families sign up on a link, we close it when full, assemble the food, and text pickup times. No chaos, no exploitation—just neighbors helping neighbors. Each distribution serves 500–1,000 people with dignity.

The notes on this one are starting to irk me. To read "Christian" or "Catholic church" and to assume that churches within Palestine!! must perforce be founded and run by people from the West just because they're churches, or that the Christians in them must be Western, is very ignorant. Some have even leapt over what the post actually says (some of the volunteer team have never met a Christian before) to somehow assume that the volunteers are Western non-Palestinian Christians? The volunteers and the people being served are all Palestinian. There are Christians who are Palestinian (and Armenian-Palestinian, and Greek-Palestinian).

Nor are Palestinian Christians some kind of oppressor class. The social role of Christianity in the Levant is different from whatever you are used to seeing in the Christian-majority West. Christians are a marginalised community within Palestine. From an essay I wrote on the subject:

As of 2004, an estimated 56% of all people with Palestinian Christian ancestry were living outside of Palestine. The trend shows no signs of slowing down: a 2020 survey found that a much higher proportion of Christians than Muslims wished to leave Palestine. Respondents cited dire economic circumstances, the dangers of military and settler violence, and religious intolerance, including job discrimination and difficulty having church marriages legally recognized. [...] The Palestinian Authority has stated an intent to try to keep Christians in the West Bank by promoting Christmas festivities. In 2022, a Nativity scene and Christmas tree were publicly displayed in مَيْدَان المَهْد (“maydān al-mahd”; Manger Square) in Bethlehem: the Catholic Church in Bethlehem lights the tree for Advent, beginning four Sundays before Christmas. A Christmas parade, with brightly lit floats carrying Christmas trees, people dressed as angels and Santa Clauses, and Nativity scenes with live actors, took place again for the first time after having been interrupted due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and was broadly attended by Muslims and Christians.

[...] During the first and second اِنْتِفَاضَات‎ (“intifāḍāt”; singular اِنْتِفَاضَة “intifāḍa,” “uprising” or “rebellion”), the tree in Bethlehem was no longer lit due to widespread mourning—Masses continued, but not the public festivities. Instead, private celebrations would take place within the home. Some families began buying artificial Christmas trees rather than real ones, since they were easier to tuck away from windows where they would not be seen from the outside. Even after the lights returned, Israeli military border walls, checkpoints, and curfews hampered Christmas celebrations for many: Christians from Gaza need permits from the Israeli military to take pilgrimages to, or visit family in, Bethlehem and other places in the West Bank, and the majority of those requested are not granted.

So yes, the fact that the volunteer team is coming into contact with a marginalised and isolated community that they had not previously formed any personal relationships with, is a straightforwardly good thing.

You could argue that this isn't the point when people are starving, but I think that stereotyping and false beliefs about Palestine and its supposed lack of ethnic or religious diversity are actually cornerstones of Zionist thinking. They want you to believe that Israel is destroying a one-dimensional, intolerant, fanatical society, not one in which communities of various religious, ethnic, and national backgrounds have been interwoven for centuries.

Please help my good friend Marah and her family!! They are starving to death in Gaza

Her poor mother has lost 27 kilos due to starvation and her father has lost more than 15 due to the famine. Osteoporosis treatment requires a healthy diet, and the Balousha family can not eat.

Help us restore hope and rise again

@mahrahpalestine is her url for vetting proof!!

I am hosting this campaign! The funds you donate are transferred directly to the Balousha family by myself and an irl coworker. Thank you!

[mahrahpalestine]

I'm doing all of this so that if I die, people will still remember me.

I want my photos to be in every city I've ever dreamed of visiting and couldn’t

FOR PARENTS OF YOUNG KIDS IN THE US!

Someone over on bluesky posted this and I figured I'd better repost it here. It's the pre-RFK 2025 vaccination schedule for babies and young children, ya know, just in case it mysteriously disappears. Save this and give it to your child's pediatrician; tell them this is the schedule you want your child on.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Some have suffered intestinal failure — their intestines have stopped working, they can no longer swallow, they scream in pain, and some die silently.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

For over a month, the criminal Israeli occupation has blocked the entry of baby formula and therapeutic medicines, a crime that threatens the lives of thousands of sick children in Gaza.

[patrochilles-or-bust]

Every passing moment is critical for more than 14,000 children in Gaza who have entered Stage 5 starvation — the most dangerous and deadly level of hunger. Baby Ronza, Zeina’s sister, hasn’t received any baby formula or substitutes for over 15 days.

I want to take a moment to share Zeina’s family campaign. Zeina is my friend, a child from Gaza whose family is living in devastating conditions due to the ongoing siege and escalating hunger.

If you’d like to help, here is the link to their GoFundMe campaign — please donate now, even a small amount can help save lives.

Zeina and her family’s campaign is verified by gazavetters under number 213.

[omegaversereloaded]

Please help zeina!!!!!

[tamarrud]

I shudder when people say "I don't know how we got here" as if the past 650+ days of genocide weren't literally televised, during which Israel committed daily atrocities, experimented with all kinds of violent death, reshaped the entire world's perception of what is now deemed acceptable in the form of collective punishment, and destroyed all red lines to see how far they can go with complete impunity, and to see how far they can go before the world erupted in anger and collective action. It didn't. And that's exactly how we got here.

[feluka]

This isn't a donation post. I just need people to read this.

I keep saying "It's dire" and it keeps getting even worse. I don't even know what I'm asking people to do, just that I don't want this to happen in silence. I want everyone to know this.

I received these messages from my friend Anas, and soon all my other friends in Gaza started crying from the same ache: there is no food in Gaza.

The gist of the messages, shared with permission, until I translate more thoroughly:

Used to be that the problem was that aid was being sold (instead of just given, as it should be) for ridiculous prices. Now there isn't even food to sell!

Most people in Gaza have now gone at least a day without eating. Many of my friends have gone multiple days.

We are now on a timer before hundreds drop dead unless food is allowed into Gaza. This is not hyperbole. This is a countdown to death unless something changes very, very soon.

[inthesnappysnouse]

just an hour ago MEE reported that at least 67 people were martyred by the genocidal entity of israel while they were waiting for aid trucks in northwest gaza.

(to anyone reading, please consider donating to shaima and tahrir, or at the very least share their campaigns. their families depend on it.)

[plumpydoll]

if you're feeling powerless right now—and god knows I am—here's a reminder you can donate to Gaza Soup Kitchen, the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, and hundreds of other charities that will work to mitigate the damage that has been and will continue to be inflicted, Also, my friend @zinaanqar16 and her family need our help and support. She is a child and has 3 wonderful siblings who deserve to survive and live in peace and safety. they are going through the worst conditions since the outbreak of war

''life continues. we still have the capacity to do good, important work''. that matters

[zinaanqar16]

If aid does not enter to Gaza Strip within the next 48 hours — especially baby formula and flour — then prepare yourselves for the largest mass death crime in history.

[zinaanqar16]

I swear to you that our children go to sleep hungry and wake up hungry and screaming from extreme hunger

[zinaanqar16]

The Zionist occupation is besieging us and starving our children as part of a systematic policy of killing and displacement, and in front of the world, the crossings are closed and humanitarian aid has not entered the Gaza Strip for months and what is entering is not enough to feed 1% of the people, the prices are very high and are not within our purchasing power, as a kilo of flour has reached $40 or more, and the daily expense for the simplest things to feed a small family exceeds $300, please guy's donate to me and my family, we need to buy food, drink and daily living necessities, do not leave us, we need you, feel free to donate, our campaign is verified and vetted by @/ Gazavetters # 213

⚠️‼️PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE⚠️‼️

We have collected $15,337 raised of $20,000 !🇵🇸

🇵🇸 save family lost their home ,dreams and everything in Gaza 🇵🇸

This is my home before the war and after the war how it became💔💔💔

Before: After:

We have been through many wars before, but this war was not like the ones before it. Our lives were turned upside down. We became displaced from one place to another. We are the Anas family, residents of northern Gaza, specifically in the Shujaiya area. In the first week of the war, we fled our home because everyone considered our home to be in a dangerous area. We moved to the Rimal area, specifically in the middle of Gaza. There, we received the news that our home, which contained all our beautiful memories, was bombed. Suddenly, it was gone!!! Just thinking that your home, which you worked hard on and built from scratch and took a lot of your life, was gone in less than a second ! After a while, we left the sands to the Al-Zawaida area because of the heavy shelling. We stayed there for about two weeks, and then the terrorist army asked us to go to Rafah. We actually fled for the fourth time to Rafah and stayed there for two months, some of the most difficult days of our lives, as there was no way or means to live a normal life. 😔😔 After that, because of the invasion of Rafah, we moved to Deir al-Balah. Now, we are in very difficult and oppressive circumstances.

We are asking you with all shame to support and stand by us in these difficult circumstances that everyone knows because we lost our home, our work and any stable source of income. Thank you all.

To my followers, this is a legitimate fundraiser. Donate if you can! And please share! I'll write a more detailed post soon ♥ 🙏 Hello We a

[stuckinapril]

Guys July is underway & I want everyone to start it off by donating however much they can to the Sameer Project, just as I will be doing right now. Please share this & send it to your friends & encourage chain donations. I’ve been looking at this fundraiser goal every now and then, and it’s bizarre to me how it barely moved over the last few weeks. Please spread the word!!!

[stuckinapril]

I think people don’t realize how intentional they have to be about continuing to care about this, because the Trump administration is putting in a ridiculous amount of effort to stifle pro-Palestine protests. ICE was literally in court the other day and fully admitting to doctoring a doxxing website called “Canary Mission” that aims to identify pro-Palestine non-citizens and deport them. I wish I were joking. If you were wondering what all that budget is going into, it’s this. And so when you see there’s a lull in media regarding coverage of ongoing Palestinian genocide, it’s precisely due to these efforts — which is why turning the other cheek because you think the fervor has “died down” is shameful

[stuckinapril]

Literally never going to not talk about this & hate how everyone is just shamelessly not caring now!!! Please share this resource & help raise funds for the Sameer Project!!!!!!!!

[notgreatbob]

''i wasted those years'' who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments

You did the best you could with all you had and knew. That was then. Here is now

[omegaversereloaded]

The war between Iran and Israel has ended. The war between two countries has been resolved, while the war between a country and a city has not been resolved yet. Do you hate Gaza? Do you hate the Palestinians?

[wolf-aid]

Today, the war has been going on for one year and nine months since its beginning, meaning 640 days of killing. 40,000 martyrs have been killed, not including those missing under the rubble, and nearly 90,000 wounded. Help us.

[omegaversereloaded]

Oh my little brother Ibrahim, we feel you, don't worry at all, please, we want your help in saving Ibrahim's family, especially after their last displacement, which was the most dangerous.

please donate to Ibrahim

[elbiotipo]

When South Africa dismantled apartheid, it did not end with the expulsion of all white South Africans. They became part of the new South Africa, just without the criminal discriminatory oligarchic powers the apartheid goverment had. When Bolivia recognized its indigenous heritage and became a plurinational state, it did not mean that people of European descent were expelled in masse. It meant the recognition of the previously discriminated indigenous and mestizo people of Bolivia and the beginning of a path of integration and revalidation.

What I mean is that it's ridiculous to think that decolonization inherently means mass suffering and relocation, that's what colonization does. Decolonization is recognizing the crimes of colonization, but more importantly, material, political and social steps to give power and self-determination to the exploited native people who were victims of colonialism and imperialism.

In multicultural societies, you don't go like in that Peter Griffin meme with a skin tone chart and saying 'well, you go back to Europe, you go back to Africa, you stay here'. You build a new society on the paradigm of dignity for exploited people and equality under the law. People are acting like this is some sort of fantastic utopia instead of real initiatives that were done in living memory, with successes and failures, as all such initiatives have. One must ask why are some so insistent that multicultural societies can't thrive, especially when for most of history, societies were indeed like that. Consider why you think like that.

[fairuzfan]

In the UK if you protest genocide or wave a Palestinian flag you get arrested on terrorism charges

[fairuzfan]

You do realize the explicit mention of "chanting" or "flags" is pretty obviously a way to criminalize expressions of palestinian identity right. There is no noteworthy "Palestine action flag" they clearly mean Palestine flags themselves

[ajarofpickledtears]

[tucsonhorse]

Look, the actual action taken by the government is Bad and authoritarian, but it's NOT outlawing any protests about Palestine or banning the Palestinian flag.

Specifically what was done was that the UK government has officially named Palestine Action, a specific group, to be a terrorist organization.

I'm not saying this is right, but this is very and importantly different from just saying any action in support of Palestine is banned.

Additionally, I have been digging and the only mention of a flag I can find is that specific post which, far from being an explicit list of what is banned, is mostly a listing of the specific provisions written in the anti-terrorism law that is being invoked. The law lists "any flags, signs, or logos" *that support the organization* are banned. I don't know what the UK government is going to interpret that to mean, but nowhere else (including Aljazeera) is even mentioning flags.

Yes, this is a very authoritarian action. Yes, it is clearly about the government being mad that people are disagreeing with them in ways they can't ignore. But it is not anywhere near criminalizing expression of Palestinian identity. All you do is undermine your own cause when you jump to these kinds of conclusions that are easily proven false.

[fairuzfan]

Listen I know you mean well with this but a conclusion of what may happen cannot be proven false when people are already beaten and arrested for protesting genocide WITHOUT this law being in place. Anti terrorism laws were pretty explicitly advocated and formulated to criminalize Palestine advocacy, many international and country specific lawyers have already said this before. The whole concept of antiterrorism is extremely racist in itself.

What I'm saying with this post is that Palestine action used palestinian imagery and iconography. They used things like the flag and the similar slogan/chants as nonaffiliated Palestine protestors. The UK government has so much room to argue pretty much any Palestinian protest is a Pal action one. These laws are wide encompassing and vague on purpose to allow for room for argument.

In Germany, they outright criticized "from the river to the sea". The word "palestine" is "Palestine action" will definitely be used to arrest protestors on vague, tangential relations.

[arslanjae]

Police arresting people on these grounds that have a wide array of interpretation, even if there won't be any criminal charges afterwards, is in itself already state terror against Palestinians and their supporters. And there still could be charges anyway. In Germany many have been arrested for "from the river..." and some have been charged for inciting the masses because of it.

They were found not guilty of sedition later on, but arrests and charges still happen, so much so that the EU has called Germany out for suppression of protests.

And still, a Jewish woman was recently arrested at a protest in Berlin for displaying forbidden symbols of a terrorist organization. Two Hamas triangles. If the police want to arrest you, they will find something to arrest you for and the government will gladly lay the groundwork for that.
