For those who don't know, Rafah Crossing is closed. Meaning Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are technically not allowed to go into Egypt through Rafah Crossing (with exceptions, like holding a foreign passport) so in order to evacuate, Palestinians need to bribe Egyptian border security officials. The standard price used to be about $5000 - 7000 per person but some Palestinians have been told to pay $10,000 per person just to cross the border, forget other expenses like food and boarding.

For a group of people who are enduring genocide and the complete destruction of their homes that money is impossible to raise without the help of fundraising. That and the collapse of the UNRWA is the reason you're seeing so many Gofundmes nowadays. The entire aid system is gone with the exception of local aid organisations that have limited reach.

So if you see a credible fundraiser, please at the very least share it so it can reach more people. This list by @el-shab-hussein is a good place to start.

the rafah border crossing could close as soon as next month, leaving people in gaza with no way out. please continue to fund trusted people who are on the ground. do not donate to anyone who does not know what they are doing or how to get funds moved properly, or those who have no connections to volunteers in cairo who are working tirelessly to transition traumatized people as smoothly as possible while the egyptian government does squat. many sources are aggregating vetted funds like the linktree to several funds below.

i hesitate to call it wealth redistribution but i do think many of us have dollars to spare for this. and, if that framing helps you, then by all means. your futures mean nothing if they are at the expense of subjugated people’s lives. you are only as powerless as you are disconnected. connect now.

Reminder that palestinians don't owe you shit, and that them begging for you to not ignore them is actually not entitlement. If you find a problem with it, the problem is you <3

And if you prioritize your own comfort over the safety and livelihoods of people suffering genocide, then by all means, keep funding AO3 and keep watching Zionist media. Just know that you will never be remembered except in disdain.

Just a reminder that Free Palestine doesn't end with a ceasefire.

Gaza is in rubble and will have to be rebuilt. Gaza would still be a concentration camp where there's a lack of clean water and food allowed in. The west bank would still be filled with settlers and settler based violence.

Gaza had the mean age of 18 before this attack. People lost their everything, you don't just recover from that.

A Free Palestine ends once there is a true ceasefire. One the apartheid "state" of israel is no more.

Once Palestinians can go from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, Palestine will truly be free. Edit: Here are some learning sources

the impersonality of drone-striking civilians for sport is one thing but there are many, many idf soldiers walking the earth who know what it's like to run over human beings with a tank and a bulldozer, to crush them dead and alive. there's a lot less distance between a tank and a human body than there is between a drone operator and a human body. but we know from breaking the silence in 2014 that they don't feel anything in the bulldozers even if they run over an empty car, so i'm sure all those people they crushed did not feel like anything. and yet just like the drone operators, even if they feel nothing physically, they do it for the excitement of it, for the joy, for the stories they will tell their eager listeners, for the same reason they make souvenirs of dead people's possessions. in my opinion these people, who have experienced the intimacy of murdering and torturing palestinians as power, cannot be rehabilitated. unlike the resistance who leave their homes with the acceptance that they will not return and the understanding that they (and their entire families) will answer for it, idf soldiers enter gaza and commit unthinkable crimes because they look forward to their return. they return to their families with a trophy of palestinian suffering and a belief that they will never answer for it.

Some relevant movies and tv shows that should be boycotted:

If you support Palestine, boycott zionist companies and stop funding them. Besides, there are many ways to watch the newest movies without paying a cent.

Please feel free to add more movies and shows with source links! 🍉

In addition, here are some other useful links:

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🇵🇸

Palestinians have endured a never ending barrage of injustice since 1948, 75 years before Operation Al Aqsa Flood

you can click on this button once daily to help palestine and support other causes in the middle east for free. it takes literally 5 seconds and could help save lives so please take the time to click and share this link.

Proceeds are donated to the UNRWA, which is one of the major funding agencies providing aid to Palestine. Recently, the US and other major countries have escalated genocidal efforts by cutting funding from the UNRWA, as AlJazzera reports : Which countries have cut funding to the UNRWA and why?

This is a direct action you can take to say fuck you to the government directed genocidal efforts, bookmark the tab, add a calendar notification daily, do what you want. Or if your prefer: Donate Directly to UNRWA
