Can we have a moment to grieve for all the lives lost. And how little of worth they were to americans who considered them less than a vote. Hamas had agreed to a deal in the very beginning of all this but biden prolonged their unnecessary suffering. Biden and Israel killed the baby who died in the cold, the child looking for food, the father who was getting flour, the men and women running outdoor kitchens for thousands, the teachers, the students who never got to graduate, the couple that never got to have their wedding, to the freedom fighters killing iof shitheads posting their atrocities and without whom the zionists would have never come to a ceasefire deal, glory to all of our martyrs. They rest on our conscience
In the meantime, donate to the sameer project and the fundraisers you see online. Think of how lucky you are to be able to sleep in a bed and have clean water to drink and how so many are without both in this world
We are a donations based aid initiative for Gaza led by Palestinians,
hi everyone, your donations so far have helped mohammed (verified)
keep an internet connection so he can stay in contact with his family in sweden
get his family in gaza off the streets after their last displacement
keep all 27 of them fed
moving forward, he still needs
warm winter clothes, especially for the children, who have outgrown the few things they were able to hold onto through the family's eight displacements
winterproofing for the family's tents
medicine and medical devices (braces, wraps, etc) for his sister, whose bullet wound has been healing very slowly due to the conditions she's living in
enough to cover ongoing daily expenses (food, internet, etc)
these donations get wired in to gaza in batches, so please understand they make a very tangible difference for the iwais family on a day-to-day basis. we're very lucky that, from all around the world, we can actually help them head off looming emergencies -- like the cold weather that's currently setting in!
donate here; donors can also enter an art print raffle here.
10 USD = 103 SEK
let's get them to their next goal of 750,000 SEK by the end of next week!
hi all! today mohammed told me he and his family were able to purchase a solar panel, which means they now have a much more stable and consistent way of charging their phones to keep in touch with each other and their family back in sweden. i'm extremely happy to hear this, because losing contact has been a constant threat since their house was bombed!
in addition to the above, they next need to purchase a few more solar panels, which will let them heat water this winter and provide some other basic electrical use. these panels make a huge difference in their quality of life, and will help them all pull through as the cold sets in, so let's keep chipping in for them!
only about $5 since then! this is still a critical situation, one solar panel is not the same as winter preparedness for 27 people. let's keep supporting the iwais family!
Hey everyone, this is urgent: the family of Khaled, a young man with muscular dystrophy who is stuck in Gaza, had $24,000 stolen from them by a government they can't piss off. We can't talk about details for safety reasons (it's not the government you think, but nevertheless a terrifying one that regularly kills journalists), but the family has figured out a new, safe way to store the money and thus opened a new campaign for donations. They really have NOTHING left so they need all the contributions they can get, no matter how small. This is a vetted campaign; I am in personal contact with Nada, Khaled's sister.
there's something very scary about the way we argue and entertain discourse on israel or on settler colonialism when, on the ground, israel has totally isolated northern gaza and is currently systemically liquidating jabalia (a refugee camp in northern gaza) just as they have, from the very beginning, said they would do. just as large swathes of israel came to be in 1948, to 1967, to the west bank today. there's something scary about watching indigenous people undergo a genocide in real-time in 2024 like they're squatters on some prime property while nobody moves except to argue about semantics. there's something scary about people being trapped and killed like fish in a barrel while you can text them and follow them on social media and watch their pleas in video as soldiers and tanks come closer. what the hell is this
jabalia in northern gaza has been under siege for over a week. no food aid in. constant bombing. journalists being openly targeted. the bbc describes israel's plan to use medieval siege tactics to ethnically cleanse and settle the north of gaza as a "controversial plan" while acknowledging that not only does israel not allow people enough time to use the humanitarian corridor to evacuate, they also shoot at people evacuating and are still targeting the south. they have also made it clear that whoever leaves will not be returning.
i don't really understand how the news can describe the process of genocide in such stark terms and call it a "controversial plan" instead of what it is: a horrifying crime against humanity.
Is it not completely insane and mind blowing that a few days ago just marked a solid year of this and we still get lukewarm headlines by mainstream media about how Israel is now ACCUSED of attacking Gaza hospitals (w no actual penalties for it)…. Think pieces by the New York Times that do their absolute best to tiptoe around the subject, if not outright fail to address it…….. and this is most insulting of all but I even saw more than one headline “honoring the memory” of the IOF soldiers who died in a recent attack…… and this all sounds made up but it’s not. It truly is all you see when you look up the news. Truly nothing has changed
Physically and mentally and spiritually sick of all the posturing and virtue signaling w nothing to show for it, so guys I’m asking that you please donate to Marah’s fundraiser. This fundraiser comprises Marah’s family, her brother’s family, and the families of her married sisters. It actually feels hard to breathe whenever I read up on how their tents flooded, or on how the children woke up to the bombing 3 tents away, or how her little nieces and nephews might not be able to survive Gaza’s cutting winter. I don’t want this to be a case where people give this family attention only when a tragic death has occurred. Please please spread this campaign and donate any amount you can. These are literal children living in the midst of death and destruction and it’s really just not fair
Marah has been so proactive in communicating on tumblr in order to advocate for her family and all her loved ones, please continue to support her family's campaign. $20,457 raised of the total 50k goal as of Oct 11, that's almost at the halfway mark.
every single day in Gaza is marked with uncertainty and danger, as weather grows colder a myriad of illnesses get more common as well. Every small donation goes a long way
a lot of you seem to be desensitized right now but i would like to remind you that we are in the second week of massive destruction in the west bank. the Israeli military are carrying out an occupation operation in Jenin and nearby areas of the West Bank.
we are being severely impacted.
to put things into perspective: 70% of Jenin's streets have been bulldozed, and 80% of the homes in the city have no water. infrastructure, water, sewage, communication, and electricity networks have been damaged
33 Palestinians have been killed since the invasion began, with 19 of those deaths occurring in Jenin. 7 children were murdered, including 16-year-old Lujain Musleh, who was shot INSIDE HER HOME by an Israeli sniper while looking out her window
in Jenin's refugee camp, homes have been occupied and damaged. Israeli occupation forces have deliberately been making holes in the walls of citizens' homes to facilitate their movement for their occupation operation. keep in mind - people cannot even go to work anymore. and there are severe shortages of food, medicine, and essential services. even shops have been destroyed. municipal crews are struggling to provide aid due to ongoing military fire.
the hospitals in Jenin are struggling to function due to water and electricity shortages, and patients are having to be transferred to other cities for care - which is insanely difficult with the operations going on. its back to school season all around the world, but here- schools remain inaccessible.
Hello, my name is Abd Alhadi Aburass, and I am from Gaza Palestine 🍉 🇵🇸. I write to you today with a heavy heart💔, seeking hope and help. The ongoing conflict has put my family's life in grave danger🙏.
We have lost our home and my advocacy bureau , leaving us with nothing but the clothes on our backs. In search of safety, we have become refugees, fleeing to another city where we now face immense challenges. 🥹

U all keep harping on about donating to "trusted" orgs instead of gofundmes can we interrogate what u mean by trusted for a moment? like can we all think about why u all keep listing western ngos instead of well documented grassroots orgs run by palestinians themselves? What, are palestinians not worthy of trust to u? I have seen u ppl call even gaza esims initiative a scam like. it all just reeks of western paternalism to me 👍
