Just like with zionists, in every scary hypothetical lies a truth they wish for you to ignore.

here's a link to the article (29 Mar, 2024)

As always don't forget about eSims

what if i decided i'm straight up not posting any new art publicly until that family's GFM in my pinned is at least Halfway to its goal

(even half my followers donating 5 bucks each would do that btw)

i am willing to make this go on forever, btw, but for obvious reasons, i'd rather not, not because i lack the conviction to do so, but because this is an urgently Time Sensitive Issue and why risk this family not being here a month from now! you never know! that's why i'm asking you guys to do this, i cannot do much, it feels scattered with so many causes, but this is just the one picked, at random, to aim people towards, focused effort style

additionally; while i am citing my followers on that math, it still helps, to boost this, you don't even have to boost this post specifically, i've pinned the original post for this gfm; i'm not asking i be plugged in any way, or to be followed by new people would share it with, but if you enjoy my work and want to see it return, and truly do want to help regardless but are also struggling (i know how it is, trust me) then you can still spread the gfm to others, link it to places and just ask like, your pals? coworkers? in your discords or mutual support chatrooms? suggest donation matching, however it might get this there quickly, for the family's sake

the impending threat of the borders closing altogether in a couple weeks makes this all the more pressing btw. i withhold the only thing i have to offer, because it would mean the world to me if you helped them before it is too late.

please.

I’m just so fucking pissed off man if they can surgically airstrike international volunteer food workers three consecutive times to ensure their operation is wiped out completely what the fuck is left for anyone to say

kill one group of aid workers with explicit intent so that all other potential or currently operating aid organizations pull out of the region to ensure gaza starves with no one willing to risk helping her people. deep sickness

Let it be known that the world would rather watch as the zionist occupation wipes out my people systematically, industrially, daily, than to take the offensive and end it before it's too late, and it's already too late. No, what's most important to them is pretending bureaucracy is real and not a façade for Western war criminals to keep doing what they want as long as they want.

I’ve always known that to most people Arab lives are not worth mentioning, let alone caring for. But seeing it proved in my lifetime through a literal genocide is actually making me short-circuit. I can’t believe this is happening I can’t believe most aid orgs are withdrawing from Palestine I can’t believe nothing is being done

“it’s just Hamas” fuck you “this is pointless online advocacy” fuck you “Arabs had it coming because they’re misogynistic/barbarian” fuck you “blame this on Hamas” fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you. I am so angry I can’t even find the words. I have never known a moment in my lifetime where I wasn’t of the understanding that being occupied is a given with being Iraqi—and now, I’m realizing through all this, with being Arab. You’re pissed off when we speak up about this because you want Arab people to just accept that this will forever be their fate and the fate of their homelands. Fuck you from the bottom of my heart. You are cold and you are soulless and you are complicit in every death that has happened and will happen.

People act like Arabs aren’t already dehumanized enough as it is. Now they have to drive a point that’s already forced on us over and over by expecting us to just sit back and be okay with genocide. I’ve never wished someone ill will in my life, but people like this are the exception. You are literally subhuman to me. I wish you nothing but endless pain and suffering, and I have never meant that more in my life.

UPDATE: NORTH GAZA DONATION DRIVE, Introducing Mahmoud Abu Salama

This is our team leader in North Gaza, Mahmoud Abu Salama who decided to reveal his identity.

Mahmoud is an artist, professional photographer, and journalist who has been consistently documenting what it’s like on the ground in the North of Gaza for months now. He has been broadcasting the news of horrible situations to many Arab and international news outlets, and on his instagram, which you can view here. Despite many threats to his life as a journalist he has been leading the efforts in finding supplies and distributing them to the hungry.

Our drive has reached around $6000 as of writing this which will roughly buy 12-15 bags of flour. We still have ways to go in making a good impact. So please help Mahmoud to get to our minimum goal of 25000 by the end of the week. Please consider donating today as your donations will literally save the lives of starving families!

You can follow him on Instagram @almajd_free

looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.

and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:

(ANERA donate link)

my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.

it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.

eSims for Gaza is facing constant eSim shortages.

They get over a thousand requests for connection a day, but their email inbox is regularly sitting at 300-500 eSims. With the bombardment of Rafah and continual internet blackouts, the need for more eSims is particularly urgent.

Even if you have already sent an eSim or donated to an eSim donation drive, there is more you can do. The team is calling for people to campaign in their communities to help spread the word about eSims and encourage donations.

You can help by printing out posters and putting them up in local businesses, on telephone poles and notice boards, or wherever people are likely to see them.

horrific article from the bbc broke last about israel detaining healthcare workers, stripping them naked, and beating them for days on end. we already knew israel was doing this to palestinian detainees, but to be deliberately targeting medical personnel--doctors and nurses and medical assistants on the ground trying to heal wounded palestinians--and then literally torturing them are on levels of cruelty i can't even begin to compute.

a humanitarian law expert in this article calls the footage coming out of this "concerning." i call it the terms racists love to throw baselessly at arabs: barbaric and inhumane.

the article goes into doctors' accounts of this in more detail, but they describe being tied to chairs and sliced with glass. being thrown into vehicles and beaten on the way--with rifles, with fists, hoses, sticks. they were constantly humiliated. they had to stand for irregular hours. they were left in nothing but boxers. many of their families don't even know they're missing and are frantically reporting them as missing. actual doctors. israel is now torturing doctors in gaza.

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict

Like it's been said before that when Israelis and Zionists cry "why do you single out Israel?!", they should in fact be reminded that Israel singles itself out. I mean, who commits violence at this magnitude and then bemoans being the victim??

goodnight everyone (:

hi everyone, my dad and his siblings have been desperately trying to get my aunt and her whole family out of gaza. I’ve watched him have multiple breakdowns over seeing the conditions they’re living in. they haven’t seen each other in person in literal decades. my aunt’s home in gaza city was completely destroyed and her family have had to repeatedly flee from the devastation. they deserve a better life than this, her kids deserve a better future than this.

it costs an insane amount to get over the egyptian border. please, donate if you can or rb this, it would mean a lot. thank you

Hands up if you're sick of the IDF flying gay flags like they're doing this shit in our name

Keep in mind northern Gaza has been isolated for months and people there have been made to starve with no access to water or adequate aid. This is one example, another example was Israel shooting and killing Palestinians who were attempting to get aid when it did arrive in the area. Not to forget the insane scene of unhinged Israelis literally blocking aid trucks from entering Gaza, some saying that this war is only lasting this long because aid keeps going in....
