I hope you read the post and help in any way.

Do you know what it feels like to watch your children starving before your eyes, with no food, shivering from the cold with no clothes? This is my children's reality now after losing our home and source of income. We urgently need your help— even a small donation can make a big difference, and sharing our plea will help us reach support faster.🔂

Your donation, no matter how small, could save the life of one of my innocent children. And simply sharing our message helps amplify our voice. Please, don’t leave us alone in this struggle.

[sami-onley]

In Gaza, my children are living a harsh life that robs them of their childhood. They wake up to the sound of bombing instead of morning laughter, they walk through rubble instead of playgrounds, their schools are destroyed, their bags are filled with pain instead of books. Despite it all, their little eyes hold dreams bigger than war. Donate now, every contribution makes a difference and lights the way of hope for these children.

Donate to help my family

Donation is very weak, please donate

hey reminder that connecting humanity is extremely low on esims rn and desperately needs esim donations and also that there are a lot of cool things you can get in exchange for a donation

[knuckle]

This is your reminder that without eSims, many people in Gaza cannot reach the rest of the world. To their loved ones overseas to the people who have donated to their fundraisers hoping to keep them alive. The Israeli government has issued repeated communications blackouts, trying to cut us off from Gaza. Even when there are not "official" blackouts, telecommunications are dangerous; Palestinians like Medo have died in makeshift tent cafes trying to access the internet and reach us. In Gaza, infrastructure has been severely damaged, despite the brave and hard work of people in Paltel on the ground. Do not think that because you read a headline about a communications blackout ending, eSims are not needed; Israel has already laid groundwork to cut Gazans off from the world - eSims work independent from the Israeli government and can provide data and phone service, an essential lifeline.

If the process of donating an eSim yourself seems daunting, you can contribute to the Crips for eSims fund directly here:

On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.

On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.

Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.

[nilzhoglander-deactivated202303]

I’m going to reblog this again since I see more individuals are inquiring about burnout prevention tips in the notes and it’s why I sought out this resource. I hope it helps you!

the most depressing part is that it's not even kamala's stance on genocide that is costing her the elections. i wish it were. it's people genuinely shifting for trump. but it's the pro-palestine movement that's going to get the blame for it.

[feluka]

obviously she fucked up on that front and on multiple other fronts (an understatement) but if these results have showed anything it's that the alt right white majority will never vote for a black woman even if she were perfect. but liberals will blame arabs for the faults of white nationalism and misogyny. at this point if you're blaming the pro-palestine movement and saying shit like "are you happy now? is this what you wanted?" you're just brimming with anti-arab hatred that you're desperate to release at any given opportunity

[feluka]

so what now? the genocide is still ongoing and the rise of fascism is unimpeded but now people will point to those most affected by it and saying "this is what you wanted, right?" and you and i could spend the next four years arguing and yelling at those people or we can do something that matters.

mahmoud needs to pay his fees in 5 days or he will fail this semester.

amal needs to meet the soaring prices of baby food in gaza for the sake of her daughter maryam.

look out for the vulnerable and watch out for the way people are venting their frustration at fascism by blaming its victims.

[feluka]

please reblog this version. anger without action is nothing. if you feel like this is the end of the world remember that this is just another day of the genocide for those in gaza.

i don't care about the elections this is an oc blog now

I know I've said this a hundred times but if you're worried about palestinian fundraisers being scams at least consider donating to MSF. It's a highly reputable organization which has broken its long-standing neutrality to denounce Israel in front of the UN. Here's all the aid MSF is providing to Gazans (documentation available in multiple languages).

[televisionenjoyer]

Since I know no one's gonna click on that link, here's a quick overview of some of the various ways in which Medicins Sans-Frontiers (Doctors Without Borders) is aiding Palestinians

- Since Oct 7 2023, MSF provided for 14000 hospital admissions and 7500 surgeries, on top of treating 27500 people for physical violence causes, treating 34000 people for diarrhoea (very common condition in Gaza currently due to the sanitary crisis) and holding 18000 mental health sessions.

-MSF is currently operating in two hospitals, eight healthcare facilities and fifteen mobile clinics, providing surgical support, wound care, physiotherapy, maternity and paediatric care, basic healthcare, vaccinations, and mental health services among other things (more info on the treatments provided by each facility on the link above). Additionally, they provide training for psychological, medical and paramedical volunteers, and donate first aid kits to various camps (info on the specific locations on the link above).

- Via their partnership with the Palestinian Agriculture and Development Association, they're building latrines for over 30000 people in six camps, distributing hygiene kits to 2400 families, and ensuring clean drinking water for 25000 people, on top of equipping a camp for 70 families with accessible sanitary facilities for disabled people.

- Since October 7, 2023, eight of their medics have died. Seven of them are remembered here, and their latest, Hasan Suboh, in this statement that denounces Israel's allies for disregarding the fact that the protection of humanitarian workers is not being guaranteed as they claim.

MSF does not only stand for Palestine in humanitarian terms, it also does so politically to an extent, holding Israel and its allies accountable for sabotaging ceasefire negotiation attempts.

MSF also provides aid to Sudan, the Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Ethiopia and 76 other countries.

[shesgayfolks]

To better maximize your donation to MSF, I advise keeping an eye out for donation doubling and tripling periods, which occur fairly often and can be checked on their website.

Palestinian tiktoker Medo Halimy was martyred yesterday. He was growing a garden and making "a day in the life" tiktoks while in Gaza. He was just 19 years old and now he's gone, but y'all wanna pretend that people wanting hard stances against genocide is some kind of moral superiority issue and not the fact that people are literally dying.

This is his family's gofundme that's still linked to his tiktok. Please send some help their way so they no longer have to lose more of their family.

TEXAS IS GOING TO EXECUTE AN AUTISTIC MAN!!!!! UNLESS WE STOP THEM! HELP ME!

Please help and sign the petiton

Help us 100,000 signers to Robert’s petition: here → saveroberson.org

Stop the Oct. 17 execution of Robert Roberson, an innocent father 

Mr. Roberson would be first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited shaken baby syndrome hypothesis. Act now.

On Oct. 17, Texas plans to execute Robert Roberson, an Innocence Project client who has spent over 20 years on death row for a crime that never happened.

Robert faces the risk of becoming the first person in the U.S. executed based on the discredited “shaken baby syndrome” theory.

Mr. Roberson left school after completing 8th grade with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder — which impacts how people communicate and interact with others. Symptoms of autism can include avoiding eye contact, “unusual” mood or emotional reactions, the appearance of indifference, fixation on details that strike others as “abnormal,” and difficulty expressing feelings.

Hospital staff, who did not know that Mr. Roberson has autism, were suspicious of his flat affect and interpreted his response to his daughter’s condition as lacking emotion. They viewed his inability to explain Nikki’s condition as a sign that he must be lying.

Every life has value, and we cannot stand by as an innocent life is threatened. Add your name to help #SaveRoberson and protect the sanctity of life. #RespectLife #RobertRoberson

Texas Court's Decision Reveals it's Failure to Consider Any of the New Evidence That Robert Roberson is Innocent

Mr. Roberson’s execution is scheduled for October 17 despite overwhelming evidence that no crime occurred and widespread, bipartisan support

10.11.2024

"The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals (CCA) – without a written opinion – has denied Robert Roberson’s request to stay his execution, scheduled for Thursday, October 17. The CCA also denied, without issuing an opinion, Mr. Roberson’s request that the Court reconsider its denial of post-conviction relief.

The CCA, once again, failed to consider any of the extensive medical and scientific evidence Mr. Roberson has submitted demonstrating that his chronically ill, two-year-old daughter, Nikki, died from illness, accident, and medical error, not because of any abuse."

your comfort is complicity.

someone tagged one of my fundraising posts with "cw palestine". there are no photos on my post, no graphic descriptions. just people's names and how far they are from their goals. even if i had included photos or recounted suffering in intricate detail, how dare you? how fucking dare you put a content warning on people BEGGING for your attention when your tax dollars sponsor their destruction? no one can turn away and still claim a conscience.

here are more palestinians who have reached out to me in the past week.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

[el-shab-hussein]

I'm also gonna stop listing the reasons why I recognize something is a scam. It's becoming more and more clear there is 1 person behind this STRING of scams and they're leaving less trails behind but it still reeks of them and their MO.

DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.

At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!

People are exploiting our situation.

[el-shab-hussein]

Reblog this post.

Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.

REBLOG IT.

The person this was about deleted the 4th or 5th scam account they made and are definitely gonna make a new one soon. I don't want anybody falling for this anymore.

restricting palestinian accounts is horrifying. you can't find their blogs unless you go directly to their url because tumblr search won't even show it. their posts will be hidden in tags. you won't be able to see their interactions in your notes (including asks, likes, reblogs). they won't be able to message people altogether. it's so incredibly insidious to palestinians on this site who heavily rely on asks and dm's to spread their fundraisers and contact people.

if you haven't seen a palestinian that you follow on your dash check to see if they've been restricted or terminated.

[dykesbat]

please support @ahmed8311 and @amjadshiltawu. both of their accounts have been shadowbanned and they both need massive support to reach their goals.

both their fundraisers are on el-shab-hussein and nabulsi's vetted fundraiser spreadsheet (number #161 for ahmed and number 250 for amjad)

ahmed's GFM is currently at €14,999 of its €100,000 goal

amjad's GFM is currently at €8,051 of its €97,000 goal

if you have the ability to, please spotlight these fundraisers on your blog or other social media accounts you may have

[raangmanch]

Lol  it’s all ‘we should center the voices of the victims of Imperial core’ till people here realize that this has to be a sustained effort that would need the same energy from beginning to end, no matter how many days, months or years go by. Really  crazy that just when so many Gazans are on the site trying to reach out to us, Palestine seems to be falling out of relevance because the coverage of protests in the imperial core has begun to die down

[raangmanch]

I laugh but it is terrifying how American hegemony works that we can track it in real time through the dwindling of donations to gfms across the platform. Gazan families want to talk to us about all that they have lost, at great costs to themselves so that they can get some much needed help, and what they find instead, is an allyship that is easily influenced by a hegemony where western voices speaking up about any of this matter the most, and when that dies down, they struggle to find a sympathetic ear, resulting in the support being whittled away to almost nothing right in front of their eyes. 

You are really only proving that zionists were right when they said that people would eventually forget and stop caring. It is going to be 11 months of GENOCIDE- how does it not galvanize us to speaking up MORE? I don't know how you all are not realizing that should a time come when we truly stop talking about Palestine, we would stand complicit in normalizing these crimes against humanity!

So please don't stop talking!! Don't let Palestine fall out of relevance, the second western media stops talking about it in the mainstream. And please, please boost and donate to the fundraisers. 

My friend, Siraj ( @siraj2024 ) is struggling to get steady donations for the past 2 months. Recently with his extended family getting displaced due to the violence of the IOF, his fundraiser is now having to support FIVE FAMILIES belonging to his married siblings and parents instead of just the one. I cannot overstate how urgently he needs these funds right now.

He needs to get to 65k by Monday, but is currently only at $61,524 CAD

He managed to get $248 CAD in 12 hours and this is terrifying to him!! 

Please keep sharing and donating. Siraj and every other Gazan need your support now more than ever.
