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.
I am Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb, a dedicated medical professional specializing in emergency care, hailing from the Gaza Strip. šµšø āš
For years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital, tending to the wounded and the ailing with compassion and skill.š
However, the ravages of war tore through our livesš, forcing me to abandon my cherished home and the familiar walls of the hospital where I once found solaceš„š.
Help Us Escape the Ravages of War: Emergency Evacuation Fund ā¦ N ALDEEB needs your support for Help Us Escape the Ravages of War: Emergen
Leaving behind the echoes of laughter and camaraderie, I embarked on a painful journey southward, bidding farewell to the streets where I grew upšš, the corners where I sought refuge, and the colleagues who felt like family. Memories of my formative years and the countless lives I touched during my tenure at Al-Shifa and other medical facilities flooded my mindš„, as I struggled to come to terms with the sudden upheaval.
Despite the adversities that besieged me, I persevered in my pursuit of healing. My determination led me to Al-Azhar University, where I embraced the role of a teaching assistant, imparting knowledge to aspiring medical students with unwavering dedication. Dreams of specializing in internal medicine beckoned me back to Al-Shifa Hospital, but alas, the brutal onslaught of war reduced it to rubble, shattering my aspirations in its wake.
In the chaos and carnage of conflict, I sustained injuries, and the sanctuary of my home was obliterated, leaving my family and me destitute and displaced. Yet, amid the ruins, a flicker of hope persists. At Al-Aqsa Hospital, I continue to extend a helping hand to those in need, drawing strength from the resilience instilled in me through years of education and service.
Today, we find ourselves sheltering in a humble tent, stripped of our possessions and livelihoods. The loss of my job, my home, and the comforting presence of my loved ones weighs heavily on my heart. Nevertheless, I refuse to surrender to despair, clinging to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.
It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you, dear reader, seeking assistance in securing safe passage for myself and my family from the turmoil of Gaza. With your kindness and generosity, I hope to reclaim the path to realizing my medical vocation, enabling me to provide for my loved ones and contribute to the healing of our wounded world.
Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.
With gratitude and hope,
Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb

To be clear, Trump being assassinated would be bad. & not even on my "all life is sacred ethics is important" shit!
Christian nationalists are a few cultural hops away from fully deifying this man. if he died of natural causes there's at least a 50% chance that within a month there would be widespread conspiracies on Dems poisoning him or something.
There was a full-on coup as a result of him losing an election fairly. If he gets fucking assassinated how do you think those people will react? The reason why no amount of sex scandal will turn these people away from him is because Donald the human guy does not matter except as a vessel for Trump The Idea. The narrative is already that he's a political martyr, I don't want him to become a literal one. Just being shot in the ear is going to make Republicans unfathomably annoying and fuel their persecution complex.
I get the desire to see him dead. Even just by happenstance. But murder is like having an painful cut on your toe and deciding to get a knife and amputate it. One problem will technically go away, but there are so many other problems that will arise as a result. Its dangerous to jump to emotionally fulfilling solutions to complicated and deeply-rooted issues, both morally and on a solely practical level. Trump is a figurehead, not the mastermind/
(that being said I DO think the jokes people are making are very funny and I will be laughing at them. I just also know that Republicans are going to milk this for all its worth and that very well may include retaliatory violence!)

I am Ahmed Al-Nabih from Gaza, and this is my twin brother Abdul Rahman. I am 30 years old. I used to live a beautiful life with my family and my brother. The idea of āāmarriage was on the table and we were going to continue our lives in our beautiful house, but something happened like a nightmare. The war came and took all our dreams and destroyed our house. Our lives became very difficult and arduous. We lived in tents. In the extreme heat, my mother suffers from chronic diseases, heart disease, blood pressure, and diabetes. Please help me save my family and my elderly mother. I ask for your support and participation. A small donation makes a difference. I have only collected 1,60euros in about five months! Thank you all!ā¤ļøš

Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive
A Plea for Help from Gaza: A Family Seeking Safety
Hello, I am Mohammed Alanqer, married to Enas Majed, and we have four wonderful children.
We live in the midst of the ongoing hellish war in Gaza, trapped between walls of fear and despair. I, Mohammed, am a father of four children and a husband to a woman who was two months pregnant when the war began.
The story will be in three languages: English, French and Arabic
ā¦ Abdallah Alanqar needs your support for Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals f
We struggle daily to survive in an environment filled with threats and dangers.
I lost our sole source of livelihood when my tech startup, which I built with dedication and hard work, was destroyed in the war. My children, Layan, Sarah, and Adam, have been deprived of education after their schools were destroyed, severely threatening their future. Amidst these harsh circumstances, my wife gave birth to our fourth child, Amir, in the midst of the war, adding to our state of despair and hopelessness.
My wife, Enas, lives in constant anxiety due to the destruction of hospitals in our area. I have lost my job and source of income, leaving me unable to provide for my family's needs and safety. Our home was destroyed by the war, forcing us to flee repeatedly and rendering us homeless.
We now face extreme difficulty in providing a safe place to live, clean clothes, and food for our children. Additionally, our children have contracted diseases like measles, and our son Adam has been diagnosed with viral hepatitis.
Our only hope now is to escape this ongoing nightmare and find a safe haven for our family. However, this requires exorbitant financial costs; the coordination fees for crossing the borders amount to $5000 per adult and $2500 per child, a sum I cannot afford alone.
We urgently appeal for your moral and financial assistance to cover the necessary costs for escaping to a safe environment, where we can build a better future for our children and ensure our family's safety.
We are in desperate need of your support. Any donation, no matter how small, can help save our lives. Thank you for your attention and support during these harsh times.

I wanted to share some sad news with you: my old Tumblr account was deactivated without my knowledge. I had wonderful memories and meaningful interactions with you all, and I found the Tumblr community to be the most cooperative and helpful.š„ŗš„¹
I am very happy to be here again, and I hope you can help me in reposting the post I was working on. This post is not just words, but a part of a fundraising campaign aimed at saving my family and supporting them in these difficult times.
I hope, as I always knew you, that you will extend a helping hand and assist in spreading this message to reach as many people as possible.
I am having such a hard time putting this thought into words but I am going to try my best.
NOPE is very interesting in concept, because the title is derived from the idea that in weird situations, Black people will go āNope.ā and turn our asses right around and leave. Like a subconscious self-preservation tactic. So something that I wondered immediately after hearing Jordan Peele say that was, āOkay, but if the Black people just say ānopeā to anything that seems off, then how do we even have a movie?ā
And thereās something here about Blackness, and knowing better, but ending up right back where you started anyway.
NOPE is a movie where the main characters do EVERYTHING right. When OJ sees (Jupeās kids dressed up as) aliens in the barn, he tries to take a photo for a second before he nopes his ass out of there, and is also ready to box with anything that gets too close. When Em and OJ first see Jean Jacket in the cloud, Em immediately tells OJ to run, and OJ starts running for his LIFE, and he is NOT on some ātripped on a rock and twisted my ankleā horror movie bullshit that man is hitting the BRICKS. And I know Angel isnāt Black, but after the Star Lasso Experience, even HE has the sense to get out of that dead car, get his ass in the house, grab something sharp, and hide until he can figure out what the hell is going on. All of these characters have an unprecedented amount of common sense. We do not have to sit there rolling our eyes or yelling at the screen because of stupid choices these characters make, and thatās why they escape with their lives after the Star Lasso Experience.
So now the Haywoods know that their home is dangerous. But they still go back. And thatās something that really, really stuck with me. Because yes, itās about the horses. But itās also not just about the horses.
I donāt think Emerald has a job. I donāt think she has a car. Besides the ranch, I donāt think she has a home. It seems like sheās just crashing with various people while she does little jobs to get by.
OJ hasnāt been able to make money outside of selling his horses, and this has been going on even since before Otis Sr. died. OJ canāt maintain eye contact with other people. He is hardly willing to have conversations with people outside of his immediate family. He has been raised to be a horse wrangler. He still uses a flip phone. His fucking name is OJ.
And all of that is to say, neither of the Haywoods are really in a position to be abandoning everything they have.
In that parking lot, when Em is trying to avoid even talking about what happened, OJ says something along the lines of, āWe donāt own shit. Somebodyās got to let Lucky out. I got mouths to feed.ā
The ranch is literally all that they have. Yes, they escaped with their lives, but they escaped to what? Crashing in a studio apartment with a tech store employee? Trying to room with Emās various fuck buddies every night, and hoping they let OJ stay too?
And all that aside, thatās their home. This is not some family that just moved into a haunted house. This is not some group of drunk teens hanging out in cornfields in the countryside on Halloween. That ranch is all of their childhood memories. Thatās all they have left of their father. Thatās what their father left for them. He created this business and taught his son how to do the job, because he wanted to leave something behind for his kids. Most of us (Black people) do not have generational wealth to pass down. Generations before us work their asses off to put together something to leave to their children, to make life a little easier on them. Otis Sr. wanted his kids to have this ranch. He wanted this business to take care of them.
And what? Theyāre supposed to just walk away from that?
That ranch is their responsibility. Itās their past. Itās their future. Itās their 40 fucking acres and a mule.
Being Black gave them the sense to ānopeā out of there, but being Black also gave them the burden, the responsibility, the need to take themselves right back.
And besides that: they donāt have anywhere else to go.
This is an extremely extremely conservative secondary death projection (deaths from disease, starvation, etc) based on the direct death figures given by the Palestinian health ministry as in any conflict secondary deaths are on average 4x greater than direct deaths.
given the direct death figure is an outdated miscount based on confirmed bodies... if we include the just the 10k estimate of bodies trapped in rubble and donāt even try to include the direct deaths after the latest update weeks ago, the rough estimate of all deaths becomes 241k.
