this morning the United Nations Human Rights Council voted on a resolution calling for a ban on arms sales to Israel and the resolution passed. two Israeli border points opened for aid routes (they were supposedly open? lmao), Biden is calling for an immediate ceasefire, last night was the first without air attacks on Gaza.. the killing of seven foreign aid workers shook the world apparently, but oh god how late. the journey to recognising genocide for some seems to avoid acknowledging the humanity of thousands of Palestinians who have been murdered
my favorite conspiracy theory is that they regret what they did to me
personally i am just excited for it to get better
I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.
When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.
They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸
They have a new fund for Ramadan that is as of today (March 19th, 2024) at $477,663.81 out of the $400,000,000 goal!
[Image one ID: A screenshot from the PCRF website showing that they have raised $18,127,796.25 (91% of their goal) out of $20,000,000. End ID.]

if anyone has money to spare for donations, im forwarding more links for palestinian aid
CareforGaza is a nonprofit that provides direct aid to Palestine, and you can donate directly here
Operation Olive Branch is a document that lists evacuating families that need assistance, which gives information on the families, the urgency, and tracks the progress of their fundraisers
eSims for Gaza lists very clear instructions on how to purchase e-sims to keep them connected, they are urgently in demand
Mutual Aid Diabetes has channels set up for you to donate insulin and medication to diabetics in Gaza, as well as lists fundraisers for diabetics seeking to evacuate
please keep sharing and adding links on this site, please add more if i'd missed any, and please don't stop talking about Palestine.
why is trying to make a new friend so embarrassing. hi. me again. asking for your attention once more even though i am literally just some random person to you. it's because i want to be not just a random person to you. please understand
i don't think people really understand what's happening in gaza. with each passing day that sees more and more palestinians dead, it's becoming easier and easier for those in the west to perceive them as nothing more than a statistic. they might engage w the occasional palestine post, sure, but it's just as easy to scroll right past that moments later w no real outrage for the genocide retained.
it's vital to stay reminded that palestinians who are with us today won't be with us tomorrow. it's happening every second of every minute of every hour, and it's relentless. somewhere in gaza a little girl is losing her mother, a little boy is watching his siblings bleed to death, elderly people are infirm with starvation and illness, palestinian women and girls are being sexually assaulted and kept in cages, fathers are leaving tents to find food for their families and not coming back. this is all happening right now, and it's a direct result of the west's complacency. it's a direct result of their not seeing arabs as people worth saving.
it might be hard to compute as a westerner, but this is real. don't let your privilege blind you to your humanity.
i think it's easier for me to conceptualize this because i'm iraqi through blood, and to be iraqi through blood is to inherit the trauma of losing your home to imperialism regardless of where you were born or raised. i'm from the us, but it doesn't mean i don't have family displaced throughout the entire world, it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt me to see my mother reminiscing her homeland every day, it doesn't mean i don't have relatives in iraq i think of every day. i can vividly imagine my family being put in this position. i can empathize and relate and i don't have to work at all to tap into my humanity.
i do understand that many of the people engaged in this conversation don't come from multicultural backgrounds, let alone an arab one. that's where i start to find some of the things these people do w respect to a genocide bizarre, like handpicking their palestinian blorbos. they're so privileged and insulated from it all, they actually are struggling to reconcile their feelings with the severity of the ongoing genocide.
and to that i say--get a grip. i'm tired of watching ignorance and insensitivity get repackaged as not knowing any better. at this point it's your duty and your responsibility and a requirement to read up on palestinian history, check the news, find orgs to donate to. it's not palestinians' job to try to prove to you they matter. it's yours to figure out why you think they don't.
