its fucked up to see people who are around my age live through a genocide and have to market themselves as someone worthy of being saved to get people to donate to them.
it just seems so dehumanising. like is one supposed to worry about their current conditions or think up new marketing strategies.
no aid has been allowed in gaza in 70+ days. people are starving. it's so messed up to have to market oneself during all this in order to afford food.
it's heartbreaking to see young children going without proper food and nutrition.
please help @abdalsalam2000. he's around my age and has nieces and nephews who are very young. they don't deserve to go hungry. his old gofundme was deleted without any reason and he's trying very hard to advocate for his family's survival. please have heart and help him in WhatsApp way you can.

i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know palestine will be free in my lifetime. i know i will see the day palestine is free and i will see her shake the dust of occupation from her heels. i know the old people and children of her history will return to their ancestral homes, their houses, their valleys, their olive groves, not to to set their roots down again because their roots have always been there, will always be there, but to grow again, bear fruit for harvest, and never be cut down again. i know palestine will be free. i grieve for palestine and dream of palestinian joy.
it's devastating to see the aftermath of the israeli genocide on gaza. an entire city that was a home to two million people has been turned into rubble and made into a mass grave for hundreds of thousands of people.
we maintain hope that gaza will be rebuilt. that her people will return and be able to live with some sense of normalcy despite the events of the last fifteen months.
it's just so surreal to see people believe that the fight for a free palestine is over and that we've 'won'. a ceasefire is a very crucial step but it is the first of many steps in the liberation of palestine.
im here to remind you to continue to escalate for palestine until it is free. continue to help in whatever way you can. continue to donate to families who are trying to recover from the horrors they've survived. continue to care for other human beings.
i also request you to donate to alaa's fundraiser and help her give a better life to her children. her fundraiser has been verified.
please donate here
