Bisan says that among all the aid organisations working in North Gaza right now, Ele Elna Elak is one of the most effective, geared towards resolving the water scarcity and making clean water and vegetables available to Gazans.
“I am anti-Zionist. I don’t believe they [Jews] have the right, after 3,000 years, to reclaim the land with western bombs and guns on biblical injunction. When I was in Israel it was as though I was in the middle of The Fire Next Time.” James Baldwin, 1970
"But the state of Israel was not created for the salvation of the Jews; it was created for the salvation of the Western interests. This is what is becoming clear (I must say that it was always clear to me). The Palestinians have been paying for the British colonial policy of ‘divide and rule’ and for Europe’s guilty Christian conscience for more than thirty years." James Baldwin, 1979
hellsite can you pretty please tell us in depth even more about the roles of mosquitoes, especially as pollinators
(i am currently being ‘um actually’d’ by someone that my example of them being a major pollinator of cacao trees ‘doesn’t matter bc they’re actually mainly pollinated by chocolate midges and if you eradicated every mosquito from the face of the earth, cacao trees would be fine’. like. dude if I took one wheel off a fourwheeler would it drive fine? Since it has three more wheels? no it wouldn’t)
i do want to answer this because tons of people mentioned hearing about how "scientists say we could get rid of mosquitos entirely and it wouldnt matter" in the notes of my earlier post.
i'm pretty sure this stems from this nature article, which does assert that we would be better off without mosquitos. however, this same argument also brings up a lot of great counter-arguments to this, including:
species that have evolved to avoid mosquitos would change their behavior unpredictably if they were gone
species that have evolved to hunt mosquitos specifically (ex. mosquitofish) could face extinction
we have already observed the effects of some species losing a major food source in mosquitos (birds laying fewer eggs in areas that were sprayed to get rid of mosquitos)
the niche opened by removing mosquitos would probably be taken over by another pest (like the biting midge, which also carries diseases)
all this in mind, the only thing we can really be certain about is that we don't know what would happen if we eradicated mosquitos, because we haven't done it, and if we do, it'll be too late to go back.
humans have eradicated "bothersome" populations of animals before, and it didn't go well then, so saying "well we're pretty sure this animal doesn't have any benefits so let's just get rid of it" is, at its best, hubris.
The Meteorological Department has issued a Level 5 warning – the highest level – with forecasts indicating that tomorrow will be the hottest day since 1942, amid the ongoing suffering of residents living in tents and unsuitable shelters due to the war.
Important guidelines:
Stay in the shade and avoid direct sunlight, especially from 10 AM to 4 PM.
Drink plenty of water and store what you need in advance.
Avoid physical exertion during peak heat hours.
Protect children, the elderly, and the sick from extreme heat.
Never leave anyone or any animal inside closed vehicles.
We’re running out of time. Today, Al Jazeera’s crew was killed. Tomorrow, it could be me, my wife, and my baby. Help us live: https://gofund.me/cfa7548a
The last flotilla sent last month was bombed twice , which is why it's so important we keep our eyes on deck, make sure it's clear we know exactly where the flotilla is. As of right now it's near the coast of Egypt and Israel will probably attempt to raid the boat. Their are 12 voluntees on board, one is Rima Hassan, French-Palestinian Member of European Parliament.

Dear merciful souls before everything I'm now writing to you and my kids are so hungry we don't know what to eat because everything running out and the cross borders were closed for three months so please read my story to the end 🥺🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello, I am full of hope and hope that you will read my message with love and that you will enjoy abundant health and well-being.
I come to you with an appeal that is heavy on my heart and that I had never imagined.
I look at you from under the war and the constant bombing of us in all its forms that the human or animal soul cannot comprehend
I am Jehad Kassab , a lawyer and legal consultant from Gaza City - Palestine. I hold a bachelor’s degree in law and many legal experiences. I have been working in the legal profession for a long time and I had a good work , which have become meaningless before this world, to stop the machine of war and destruction that has befallen us ،I had a private law office after the Israeli planes completely destroyed it and everything in it, after I built it with all its beauty after many years of toil, and it is my only source of livelihood.
I have a beautiful family that loves life as you love it and lives it in all its details. My family consists of (my wife, a nurse, and my son Khaled, a year and a half old, who has not seen life in all its details and does not know what it is yet, and my second daughter is now 11 months her age as the age of this bad war.
Our house was completely destroyed at the beginning of the war on Gaza with everything, and we did not even take anything out of it, not even the clothes, in the hope that we would return to it before it was bombed by Israeli warplanes
We were briefly displaced to southern Gaza and stayed in tents until this moment. We lived and are still living the harshest types of genocide in the full sense of the word: displacement, destruction, coming out from under bombardment, pollution, epidemics, and the difficulty of sleeping due to the sound of planes and the bombing that did not leave for a single second. Has the world become desolate or are we not fit to improve? For life or what? We do not know Khaled who started pronouncing the word bombing, and I am afraid.
I am not begging you or listing all the details, because an entire newspaper will not be enough. Television screens and social networking sites are enough to tell you about us, and no matter how much you try to say, what we feel will not reach you because we do not wish anyone to live as we live.
We are victims of conflicts and conflicts. We love life as long as we can. We do not like any form of war. We want a future like the rest of humanity for ourselves and our children.
In this moment of despair, I reach out to you, not just as a stranger, but as a human being, connected by our common humanity and the belief that compassion knows no bounds. Your support, no matter how small, can make an immeasurable difference in the lives of those struggling to find hope amidst the rubble.
We desperately need your support to rebuild my family's life that was destroyed by the war on Gaza and there is literally nothing left ، provide us with a glimmer of hope for a better life after we were fine before October 7th last year. Your support could mean everything to us ، If you are unable to support, please consider sharing our case. Every bit of support helps.
We also evacuated many times and the two baby were sick alot because of the bad environment
and you know there's no hospitals or medicin or even healthy food
and the rest of the.money will be used for the living expenses
We appreciate your help, even if it is just a little
Thank you all
