As you know, I and my mutuals frequently post about Siraj @/siraj2024, who is trying to rebuild his home in Gaza. We stress that rebuilding in Gaza and resisting ethnic cleansing is just as important as evacuating to safety. One of the things we are all fighting for is for Palestinians to have the right to return to their homes. With that, I have another campaign I'd like to bring to your attention.
Mahmoud Hamam (@ma7moudgaza2) is a web designer and college student. He and his family have been displaced by the IOF several times and now live in a tent in al-Mawasi, Khan Yunis. He cannot stay there much longer.
Here's what studying is like for him now:
Due to the recent massacres there, he has been unable to come online. He also had his previous account terminated by Tumblr, in an act of genocidal censorship. This is why we must help him.
He is only at $2,238 of $25,000, and he has been campaigning for a month as of right now. He has a long way to go but I beliveve it is possible to get him to his goal soon! We have seen people raise this amount in record time, I really do believe in all of us.
Despite all he has endured, he has not given up hope. Lets help him rebuild.
I am Mahmoud Hamam from Gaza, in the midst of destruction and bombing. I am writing to you that our morale is still high and that determination is present. After all the harsh circumstances we have been through, horrific events, but they will not destroy us, but rather they will make us stronger..

Thank you @anneemay for the notice
It's disturbing how a successful attack in the eyes of a Zionist depends on how many civilians have been murdered, or how many residential buildings have been destroyed.
True psychopaths.
The fact that there are less protests is absolutely heartbreaking.
But I guess that’s what happens when every social media app tries to suppress information. People eventually start to lose interest.
Don’t stop talking about what is currently happening in Palestine!
Hi guys, as you may recall, Wafaa (@wafans-blog) recently got in contact with her brother Muhammad and sister Shaima, who thankfully are unharmed with their spouses and children. Wafaa is verified on @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi's vetted spreadsheet (family number #171).
The campaign has been stagnating for more than 12 hours now, I cannot impress upon you more that this pair of brother and sister, who have 10 children in total, need your help to evacuate their children and keep them safe.
A trauma surgeon at a Khan Younis field hospital reported late last night that the iof repeatedly and fatally targets children by "firing directly at their head and chest" especially during this new round of offenses in Khan Younis. Please don't only be mobilized by tragedy. Help now.
Muhammad hopes that his newborn son, Salem, who only a few weeks old, can evacuate with Wafaa's family who has raised their evacuation fees. Salem is a priority concern because the overwhelmed hospital in Khan Younis does not have vaccines for him, making him especially susceptible to viral infections that have been spreading among the al-Mawasi camp.
Please pay attention to campaigns that are set up with the goal of rebuilding lives in Gaza. Gaza is not gone. Gaza won't be a ghost town for the occupation to set up their settlements in. When you ignore campaigns that explicitly state that they aim to rebuild lives back in Gaza, you are giving credibility to those nasty beach resort ads, Isn'treal had the audacity to air. I don't want to romanticize because it is dehumanizing in itself but do you know how much hope, how much strength there is in setting up a campaign that is explicitly stating " This money is going to go to rebuilding my life back in Gaza. " Don't disrespect it in this way, don't disrespect these campaigns.
Donate to @siraj2024 at least go through his blog. Go through his fundraiser. Boost! This is tumblr, the stupidest shitposts go viral and we can't get Siraj out to the wide number of people on here?? Help him keep his hope. Help him in rebuilding his life in Gaza. 10k that is all he is asking for his short term goal. Please help. Help.
Abood @abood-gaza2 and his pregnant wife NEED you to save them. Proof they are vetted here. It costs ~$8000 to evacuate to Egypt and that number is increasing all the time due to sick people trying to capitalise on misfortune and chaos.
"I studied accounting, graduated with a high average, and worked in a chain of clothing stores that my father owned. But due to the unjust aggression, all our shops were destroyed, and we lost our source of livelihood and work completely. I was displaced from my home more than 10 times, each time trying to find a safe place, but there really is no safety here. Here we live death, fear, and loss at every moment. We love life and we always have ambitions and dreams that we hope to achieve and we are determined to achieve them as well."
Please help this beautiful family who are currently living in tents and facing a harsh and dangerous winter coming up evacuate as soon as they can for the sake of their unborn son as well as their own sakes, and read their story. They're 1/4 of a way to their goal. Get them closer, every little bit counts.
if impoverished brown soldiers from a foreign national army invaded your town and killed your loved ones while obliterating all traces of the place you once called home…would you defend them by saying “well…none of these guys could afford college so they had to join the army” ?? would you do that??
army bootlickers please respond would love to hear some thoughts
