please consider donating to a mother of two young children who had her tent bombed recently. alaa needs to raise money to buy supplies and protect her children. her fundraiser is verified.

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
Our Current Situation:
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
How You Can Help:
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
What This Means to Us:
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️

Hello Everyone, I am Mosab Suleiman Al Derawi, 28 years old, my wife Nadine Adel A… Mosab Derawi needs your support for Help me saving who's
Has anyone asked him to clarify what he means by this because this is outright endorsing colonization and I can't believe the democrats were so obvious as to admit to this. Usually they sugarcoat their language but I guess they don't even care anymore???
most commentary I could find on this (though not from any sources I trust) is portraying it as a verbal flub, claiming that Walz meant to say Iran. from the WSJ:
Doctors from several aid groups say an Israeli policy recently communicated to medical missions going into Gaza has forced them to avoid rec
But his preparation would ultimately be for nothing. The day before the team was set to cross into Gaza, Suleiman received notice that he had been denied entry by Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, or COGAT, the Israeli agency that manages policy for the Palestinian territories and the flow of aid into the strip.
Suleiman’s denial is part of a policy recently communicated to medical missions going into Gaza through Israel. The restrictions block the entry of US healthcare workers, and those of other nationalities, if they are of Palestinian origin or have Palestinian heritage, according to internal memos from the World Health Organization (WHO) obtained by CNN.
Just for context I haven't been letting these people get to me these past few weeks cuz I didn't care but I heard a heard a doctor who went to Gaza (who has worked in multiple, multiple different warzones) talk about how what's happening in Gaza is probably comparably unseen in history (he made the comparison saying "we probably haven't seen something like this since genghis khan") based on population numbers and stats and what he experienced first hand. He said things like "this war is 30% more dangerous than being in Ukraine, this is the deadliest place to be a child in the world (600% deadlier than for ukrainian children), this is the hungriest population crisis since the 2000s" and told us stories of health care workers who were shot and bombed in Indonesian hospital writing their last words on OR whiteboards (something along the lines of "those who remain standing will tell our story and remember us"). Told us multiple stories of Palestinian health care workers taken and tortured by Israel and totally psychologically broken all before they turned 30. Told us multiple stories of dead health care workers from Gaza. He was not Palestinian btw. Wasnt even arab or muslim. So he had no stakes in the matter to tell us these things.
So seeing people argue about "not being given another option" and "being complacent" pissed me off so bad because I realize they don't understand the gravity of the situation. All of this arguing about elections and WHY people NEED to vote for Harris OR ELSE is a joke to me. Palestinians have lost everything. What are you doing here arguing? Go do something. Voting for my people's murderers is not doing something.
I don’t think that people understand that the current state of Palestine IS THE RESULT OF A “TWO STATE SOLUTION”. THIS IS THE RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN 1967.
Israelis. Will. Never. Be. Satisfied. With. A. Two. State. Solution.
They. Want. The. Whole. Land.
They. Want. The. Whole. Levant.
hardly even two states bc gaza is cut off from the rest of the world but yeah. it's fucking exhausting telling people there can never be a true "two state solution" smh. israel wants to expand and have the whole levant. i wish people could realize this
Zionists talking to people they think don't know any better: "Israel wants a 2 state solution, it's the best outcome."
Israel: "We want the whole Levant actually."
Pictured is Bezalel Smotrich, the Finance Minister of Israel, speaking on a podium with a map of 'Greater Israel'. Many people don't know this, but this was always the endgoal of zionism.
In Palestine, [Theodore Herzl] writes, ‘we should there form a portion of a rampart of Europe against Asia, an outpost of civilisation as opposed to barbarism’ [...] Zionism has always sold its state as an oasis of Western civilisation in a desert of Arab backwardness — ‘a villa in the jungle’, as Ehud Barak put it. (Source)
And how does Herzl, the founder of political zionism, envision Israel? "From the brook of Egypt to the Euphrates." It's not by mistake that they conquered Sinai, albeit temporarily. It is not by mistake that they are occupying Syrian and Lebanese territory illegaly. Israel doesn't want any Arab states surrounding it. Palestine was just going to be the start for them.
Oh hey it's the 2nd of August. It's international Romani genocide memorial day. 79 years and still the vast majority of countries don't give a fuck about it nor recognize it. Hell on Earth everywhere
It's been 80 years since the Nazis liquidated the Romani family camp in Auschwitz, killing 4,000 people in a single night. Most countries don't recognize it and most European countries continue to treat us like shit
sonya massey was a 36-year old (incredibly fucking young) mother of two (a 15 year old daughter and a 17 year old son), both of whom were robbed of their mother in the most vile, heart-wrenching way. i genuinely short-circuit trying to imagine losing my mother at just 17. i can't imagine how it's like to live w the fact that your mother's very last moments are being shot by a cop after she begged and pleaded not to be hurt. i can't fathom what black american women have to live with and shoulder every single day. it's so cruel. and i already see articles painting this tragedy as a "now maybe people will wake up" but this depicts her as necessary collateral damage, when her children literally just lost their mother. this should've never happened
I want more people to know that while the Palestine Olympic team consists of only 8 athletes, at least 69 Palestinian Olympic athletes have been killed since October 2023. This includes athletes who were going to compete in these games and retired athletes such as Majed Abu Maraheel, the first Palestinian Olympian, who died of kidney failure in a refugee camp product of lack of medical treatment.
Farha (2021) is a movie about the Palestinian Nakba that’s just been put on Netflix, it’s a portrayal of the violence experienced by Palestinians during Israel’s creation from the perspective of a 14 year old girl - to my knowledge, this is the first film about the story of the Nakba on Netflix. (If you don’t know the history of the Nakba - this post can explain it quickly)
The movie is being received with a lot of praise from Palestinians online, however, the movie is currently being review bombed by zionists and condemned by the Israeli press and there have been threats towards showing of the film by Israel’s finance minister, this is the IMDb review page as of posting this:
If you would like to help support this film and Palestinian history being portrayed, please leave a positive review, and if you have Netflix, watch the film. The story of the Nakba has one that has long been silenced and it’s so rare to see it even acknowledged in media, my family survived it, many others didn’t, what they all experienced was real, and it’s about time there has been recognition of it.
Just a random thought but can you imagine how much information about Palestinians and our history exists in Hebrew sources and we don't have access to that bc the vast majority of us don't speak it, let alone read and write it?
esp because Israel destroyed our archives so there's probably information we don't know that was sealed into those archives and are now gone forever
I'd also be doing a disservice to not mention the family lineages that have been wiped out by Israel which means that's even more family and community history lost
A lot of Palestinian books (as in, owned by palestinians) is in Israeli archives rn under the title "abandoned property". These are things with people's full names written on them often in books, but they're considered "abandoned" because in '48 a bunch of people looted our homes, especially our personal libraries.
