I dont care who got elected in america but it has been truly horrendous to see the vitriol with which american vote blue liberals have turned against the victims of US imperialism as soon as that circus of an election got over. This isnt anything new btw ive seen so much of this behaviour in the lead up to this election, but it really is mind boggling to see just how many of you really think that you can partake in blaming your "progressive" candidate's failure on victims of literal genocide and still call yourselves "leftists".
If you're also shocked by this behaviour like i am and want to look for material ways to support palestinians who will be bearing the brunt of blame for speaking truth to their suffering during this time, I'd like to direct your attention to Mohammed Ayesh's fundraiser.
Mohammed Ayesh @ayeshjourney is currently the only vetter on tumblr and has been doing the back breaking work of verifying these fundraisers all while also being a healthcare worker in a literal warzone. He has been doing all this while running the @gaza-evacuation-funds account for no personal gain, all to make sure that your money goes to the right people in gaza.
Right now he is responsible for looking after his younger brother, whose eardrums burst due to bombardment in 2014 bombardment and now has to live without hearing aids because of the blockade imposed by the zionist occupation. His family is at constant risk of eviction and violence and theyre in dire need of support right now. The money raised will go towards the repair of his brother's hearing aids, as well as to help his family support themselves at this time.
despite the notes there is only 1 donation in the past TWO HOURS. Currently £23,995 / £25,000 short term goal!! That’s £1,005 more needed urgently. All proceeds go to giving his family safe shelter from bombardments and food
due to his work as search and rescue, Mohammed has been exposed to large quantities of smoke in the past few days of escalated bombardment. He’s experiencing painful lung spasms and coughing fits but despite all this remains to be in the field. The hospital at Deir al-Balah in central Gaza halted operations due to the amount of damage it suffered from iof air strikes yesterday, making Mohammed’s job more difficult
