It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire
US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine
Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza
Hi.
I am Tala Nassar, a Palestinian from Gaza.
I am 17 years old. I live in Nuseirat camp. We live a simple life. We have been living in a small house for the past 18 years. My mother and father worked hard and dreamed of building a house to shelter us until we achieved this dream a few months ago 7 October, until October 7 came and destroyed our lives.
On December 27, the Israeli army informed the residents of the new camp in Nuseirat that the area had become a combat zone and we had to leave it, and they began bombing the homes of its residents, so we had to flee to the city of Rafah on foot, so we settled in a tent on the shore of the Rafah Sea, and the cold began, and it was not cold.
We have a home and no source of income, and at this time the Israeli army started mining Rafah and it is no longer as safe as it was before.
My brothers and I have begun to suffer from anemia and high salt levels, and our health condition may worsen.
I dreamed of completing my education and entering the field of medicine, but the war destroyed everything. We live in this war and this disaster, the worst kind of living. We lack many of the basics of life, the most important of which are treatments. Now I am suffering from hepatitis due to the pollution we live in, and here we are struggling with To survive.
My uncle set up a fundraising campaign for us to go out and save our lives, but this is expensive. I hope we stay well and can survive. Please help me spread my campaign as quickly as possible. Thank you very much❤️🙏🏼
as the first day of eid al-adha (the feast of sacrifice) which commemorates the prophet ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to Gd passes, gaza death toll rises above 37,700. palestinians are not able to observe the celebrations as they did before, but they are still celebrating as much as they can. @ma7moudgaza2 shares the tradition of gifting cash to children. 50 ILS seen in the picture = around $20 CAD.
on this day, please support mahmoud who is now seeking to evacuate his family of 5 by matching his own kindness and donating a similar amount -- or if not possible, even the minimum. the fundraiser is verified and still only a bit above 1/5 of its goal.
Tavian “Taffy” Satra (mine) and Byravie “Berry” Satra (@pumkitty), tiefling brothers for a few oneshots
The war has entered its ninth month and everything is getting worse 💔
Please help me get my family out of there and protect them from war and bombing🙏🙏
buc-ees is planning on building a large location in north carolina that will detroy 32 acres occaneechi saponi land, the proposed location is in the middle of the historic occaneechi trading path that is part of a larger network historic trade routes in the south eastern US, and additionally has traditional ceremonial grounds and burial grounds in the vicinity. there is no contingency planning happening on buc-ees part for if a spill were to happen, potentially harming the wildlife in the area, and contaminating water.
as you may know, israel has begun its ground operation in rafah. they dropped leaflets last night ordering people to evacuate, and bombing in east rafah has already begun.
The border is about to become unreachable.
Rafah is trapped.
We have literal hours until no-one, all the GoFundMe's you've scrolled past, all the people desperately begging on TikTok, will be able to escape.
Give now. Give whatever you can.
I am fundraising for the Odeh family, which is only 3k away from meeting its goal.
you will not get another chance.
