i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

it's actually insane that we're supposed to rely on crowdfunding sites like gofundme to help people suffering from a genocide.

like a lot of people in gaza are currently reliant on these sites and it takes a lot of time and effort to raise the smallest amounts of money. due to the number of fundraisers people tend to ignore most of them until something 'special' stands out.

i know someone who has had their fundraiser taken down twice for no reason. he has lost a very huge amount of money due to that. money that took months to raise. it's cruel and inhumane for these websites to shut down fundraisers and steal the money that would benefit someone living in such hellish conditions.

the person who lost all this money is my friend siraj. siraj just wants to ensure his family's well being. please consider helping him out by sharing and donating. his fundraiser has been verified (#219)

Add to that the closure of the crossings for the fourth day in a row, which increased the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip. The war is not over. We are in another humanitarian war.

When we talk about rebuilding Gaza, it’s no one’s business how we will be rebuild it.

We will do whatever we want because it is our land. It concerns no one except us Palestinians how we will live and what kind of houses we will build. We will also choose our furniture and the number of books in each house. And we will plant trees in the graveyards.

Just end the occupation so that we can get enough books and trees. That’s all you must do.

Please continue to share and donate to my friend Marah's campaign! ❤️
