🚨VERIFIED GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN 🚨

I have hesitated and delayed for a long time in writing these words, including the GoFundMe account, but the need has become very urgent because of what I see of the death of me and my family🙌

To begin our story, it is important to introduce my family, who are the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these turbulent times🙏🏼

We are a family of 5 suffering for over 9 months from a brutal war that spares neither humans nor stones.

My mother lost all of her family in this war, starting with my uncle Amer, his wife, and his children, who rose in the belt of fire over the city of Tal al-Hawa, then my other uncle and my other aunt died!! I don't know how my mother's heart can be patient with this affliction, but I ask God to give her patience and strength

My father also made many sacrifices when he lost his home and his job as a teacher, and his nephew was martyred at the beginning of the war. He is also strong and patient 🙏🏼

My brother Muhammad, who remained in northern Gaza, struggling with hunger, killing and destruction, also lost his place of work and many, many of his friends died

As for my spoiled sister, she lived the war while carrying the entire house on her shoulders. She lived the war from displacement to displacement and from tent to tent

As for me, Mahmoud, I also lost my studies after the occupation destroyed my university. I created this campaign to compensate us for a little of the damage we experienced. What we experienced is priceless at any price, but today I am asking you for a small donation of $10 that may contribute to saving us and our family from disappointment and the hell of war. We lived to build a new home for ourselves and the beginning of a new and beautiful life

Yet another Palestinian boy in the West Bank whose childhood was violently stolen from him. I wish people could understand that what's happening in the West Bank now has been happening DAILY for YEARS before October 2023. Its been happening DAILY in multiple towns and villages of the West Bank since 2020.

Tulkarem, Qalandia, Beit Lahm, Al-Khalil, Al-Quds, Silwan, Silwad, Massafer Yatta, Ramallah, Nablus, off the TOP of my head have all been plagued by these daily zionist terrorist attacks. Thousands have been killed since last year. They demolish homes they kill our babies, they kill our elders, they kidnap thousands of them no matter how young and old and they torture them and never release them. THIS IS NOT NEW. And it kills me that more of our babies like Muhammad here have to experience these horrifying conditions for the first time to this day. Its been over a century that we've lived this daily terrorism. His grandfather before him lived the same suffering he just experienced.

Hey guys remember when I said his grandfather lived the same suffering he just experienced? Here's some excerpts on British officers using Palestinian boys as human shields in the 1930's. I'm being very fucking literal.

Please do donate to Sudan initiatives. The news we hear from Sudan is absolutely terrible. Even if you can't donate, share it anywhere you think might get people to donate. Share it on ig, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, whatever. Just please do share and if you can spare a few dollars once and a while....

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

this beautiful baby is the son of ibrahim abu raida, the 25 y/o executive director of the al nasser charity in gaza, an organization working to distribute food to the displaced. they have many different ways to donate linked on their instagram (linked above) and also have a personal gfm to help with their own rebuilding efforts that is over 80% of the way to its goal.

I understand that there have been talks about an Israeli invasion of Rafah and I understand how absolutely catastrophic that would be for what is potentially the most packed area in the world, but I just want to point out that it feels like everyone is anticipating with fear a potential assault on Rafah whereas attacks and airstrikes are already happening and in fact they never even stopped for over 6 months now.

Keep talking about Rafah and keep talking about Gaza. There are absolutely no "safe zones" in Gaza and there never have been.

Another thing is that when this aggression started, we were so worried about winter and how displaced people in tents will survive it. Earlier this week the temperature in Gaza hit 38 degrees (100 Fahrenheit) and we are now wondering how will displaced people survive the heat in those tents.

Just remember that while the tents did not keep rainwater out during winter, they trap the heat in during the summer.

Israel had destroyed over 70% of housing units in Gaza. With nowhere to go, Palestinians built these makeshift tents with pieces of nylon and scraps of fabric. This made it so that the temperature inside the tent is higher than what it is outside.

This is the reality of all the displaced people in Gaza who currently live in tents, who are now dreaming of a sip of cold water as temperatures begin to soar. Remember them and raise your voice for their sake.

April 3, 2024. Journalist Zuher Dahlan was passing out candy and saw a little girl start crying. He asked her why she was crying and found out that he resembles her father, who has been missing since they left the north of Gaza.

Please help the family of a non-verbal autistic child (who has been losing weight because he only eats certain kinds of food, largely unavailable during this time) leave Gaza!

They are almost halfway there btw

From Ghassan Abu Sitta, April 1, 2024. The massacres of Al Shifa Hospital and the IOF's 14 days siege of it.

A tweet about the complicity of zionist academia:

Do they know that even settlers in Palestine wore the kuffiyeh before the state of Israel was established in their own agricultural settlements…? settlers often wore the kuffiyeh to “blend into the oriental environment” - it’s well documented and we have plenty of pictures of it. Zionist logic doesn’t hold up and immediately falls apart after doing two minutes of research

Incredibly alarming that talks of “peace” in Gaza seem to extend no further than a ceasefire. How do you think they’re gonna start off where they left off themselves? Their houses are destroyed, so many have lost mothers and fathers and brothers and children, they still have no clean water and no food. Any area Israel withdraws out of is an area it already knows has been rendered inhospitable. There was even a direct quote by some IOF soldier gleefully stating how he “wasn’t sure Palestinians could go back to their homes.” So what happens when the US “succeeds at negotiating a ceasefire”? Who will be responsible for helping the Palestinians rebuild all that they’ve lost?

Palestinians are literally being treated as invalids & it hurts so much to see. It’s so heartbreaking watching footage of Palestinians walking the demolished streets of Khan Younis in shock, with some saying (with no emotion, bc they’ve been enduring this for months) that their homes are simply gone. There was nothing to come back to by the time Israeli troops left. These are whole, multidimensional human beings like you and me who no longer have homes they could live in. And there is literally no recourse. They’re supposed to just pick up the pieces all alone. It’s so dehumanizing I could cry about it.

So important to reinforce that advocacy for Palestinian rights doesn’t end at a ceasefire that has already come too little, too late. At that point it would be about advocating for Palestinians’ rights for quality of life, Palestinians’ rights to retribution, and most importantly Palestinians’ right to freedom. Although those numbers have certainly intensified since Oct. 7, the Palestinian struggle goes back decades. No one should be hanging up their hats when the US inevitably paints itself as the western savior Palestine has needed all along, finally flying in on a golden chariot to broker peace. This is far from over when a ceasefire is declared, and it’ll be far from over until every Palestinian enjoys the safety and comfort of living any human being is entitled to.

These updates are fucking insane. Israeli forces are currently besieging 3 hospitals: al-Amal Hospital, Nasser Hospital, and Shifa Hospital. They even executed a doctor, Muhammad al-Nono, for refusing to leave his patients, while a PRCS worker was killed in the al-Amal shelling (they are terrorizing these hospitals all at the same time). A Palestinian woman relayed that other women have been rounded up from Shifa hospital and subjected to rape and torture. There are also accounts of Christian Palestinians being denied access to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday—all while Israeli settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque on this same Sunday. My heart is aching for these Palestinians. So devastating there are no words.

This is literally separate from the hospital massacres mentioned above.

Attacks on an additional hospital are ongoing and are not being reported by media, concerning zionist attacks on the European hospital. Staff have reported gunshots and air strikes by zionist occupation terrorists.

I saw a testimony on Al Jazeera that a woman was raped in front of family and children. There's reports of death squads leading dozens into separated rooms to execute them. A child testified to being put on a row to be executed but managed to escape.

I don't know what to even think, what amount of Palestinian suffering is enough? How can these kind of demons be unleashed onto earth during the Holy Month?

I’m actually so physically sick reading this. These Palestinians were malnourished, sick, frail. They just wanted sustenance for themselves, for their children. And Israel knows this. It knows it has created a fish bowl where people are starving every day, where they’re so desperate for the smallest morsel of food that they’re willing to go anywhere to get it. So they deliberately—on purpose—planted aid in a certain location, stayed waiting while Palestinians all rushed over for this promise of food, and then they opened fire. Now 104 Palestinians are dead, and the footage of this is so heartbreaking it actually made me wanna throw up. I am so incredibly tired of Arab lives being dispensable, or fodder for shock value videos. And with the UN having cut entry for aid trucks, I don’t know what the surviving Palestinians will do. It’s hard living with the fact that people care for Arab people so little, they’re willing to watch this and do nothing. Why are we not human to you?

It’s wrong to even say “Now with x Palestinians dead hopefully people will wake up,” because Palestinians are not out here trying to be some sort of symbol for anybody. They just wanna live, and they deserve to live, and they shouldn’t be framed as some means to an end. But even in saying that, it’s not as if Palestinian slaughter has stopped anyone anyway. People said Hind’s death would mobilize a change, but that did nothing. People said the threat to invade Rafah would mobilize a change, but that did nothing. A man self-immolated days ago, and that caught international attention—and yet it did nothing. I just want these people to live. I can’t stop thinking about the Arab families still in northern Gaza and the hell they’re going through just to stay alive. It’s too much.

We need to keep advocating for Palestine. Defeat is no better of an alternative. But it just amazes me how long Arabs have been begging and pleading with you to humanize them, to take their plights seriously, and how even with these stacking atrocities it changes nothing. Not even the horrific footage is moving anyone who can actually do something to do it. Arab lives have always been dispensable.

UPDATE: MORE BLANKETS!

After two long weeks of looking, Hussam managed to find 500 blankets for displaced people! The nights in Gaza are quite cold, especially in a tent with little protection from the elements, so these will go a long way to help people stay warm!!
