looking at (vetted) gofundmes for people trying to escape palestine and i don't know how many of you actually click on the gofundme links you reblog but i would like to point out, for what it's worth, just how amazing it is that so many have raised so much money. it may overall feel like a drop in the ocean but the fact that several gofundmes have raised tens of thousands of dollars is amazing. it is so expensive to leave gaza right now, and people still need money after they escape. but regardless of what propaganda the US, UK, canada, and other western nations are trying to pump out, people across the world are doing what they can to help these people survive. many of them are still very far from their goals (like this one and this one and this one) and some of them are very close to high goals (like this one), and some of them have reached almost double their original goal.

and that's not even addressing direct aid or organizations that take continuous donations for distribution of food, menstrual products, etc. the PCRF has raised $16,000,000 of their target goal of $20,000,000 to fund current aid and long-term relief efforts in gaza. ANERA's febuary 13th update discusses the material ways they helped palestinians today:

my point is, it often feels like the world is turning a blind eye to palestine. but i would like to point out that there is an important difference between "the world" and "western political leaders and media narratives". a breathtaking amount of real people, the people who make up the world, are trying to help. in the face of israel attempting to commit genocide, the world is saying No. These people deserve to live. and literally sending millions of dollars internationally, through the internet connection that israel has desperately been trying to destroy.

it may not feel like it matters in the grand scheme of things. but to the people who get fresh clothes, or a hot meal, or blankets, or the kids who get new toys, or to the people who are able to bring their families to safety, it matters to them. go make someone's day better. i've linked so many options with ways to do that.

If you’re in London or able to make the commute, today at 12pm (Sunday 14th) there’s going to be a protest in front of the UAE embassy for Sudan - if you stand with Palestine, stand with Sudan

Yesterday marked the 100th day of genocide. Please, do not get used to this. Our people, killed, bombed, kidnapped, stripped, executed and starved is not normal. Our kids in pieces, their body parts collected in bags is not normal.

Israel has killed 23,700 human. More than 10,300 child. We'd need 177 school bus to carry the Palestinian children killed by Israel in gaza. 10,022 fatherless child. 8,352 motherless child. The wounded have their wounds rot and die waiting in front of the crossing. Maggots seen inside alive people's wounds. 5,500 pregnant woman will give birth in the upcoming weeks. 100 Days of Genocide. 100 Days of the world watching silently.

I’d just like to acknowledge that South Africa wouldn’t have such a strong case without the work of the journalists, both alive and martyred, on the ground in Gaza supplying the world with firsthand information about the genocide and that they deserve thanks for it.

Palestine will be free!

The fight for Palestinian liberation is long and needs patience and strength. I urge you all not to give up on the Palestinian cause no matter how much death you see, no matter how high the numbers get, and no matter how much destruction you witness. We are all doing a great job boosting pro-Palestinian voices and costing Western propagandists money. We're doing an incredible job boycotting all pro-Israeli products, and we're seeing great results. The people are finally seeing the true face of the West and the Israeli occupation, and we're seeing great signs of change. We're on our way to witnessing a free Palestine, and we mustn't lose hope now or ever. Keep posting, keep boosting, and keep saying free Palestine until Palestine is free.

We're nowhere near giving up, and we never will be.

"This is a warning about pushing people in Gaza to emigrate by intimidating people and making them choose between staying and dying or leaving and living!"

CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE. CALL FOR AN END TO THE GENOCIDE.

Israel isn't just breaking international law. It's creating precedent and changing it to make this violence permissible. What happens to Palestinians matters for everyone, everywhere. It sets a precedent that means no where else in the globe is safe. What more do we need to act?

I'm seeing people claim that Palestinians have completely evacuated the North of Ghazzah or that there's nothing left of it. This is not the case. Palestinian-Canadian medical worker Ahmed Kouta is currently reporting from the North. This is the situation as of today, December 25th 2023:

Merry Christmas! Palestinians continue dying in spades. Here’s an update from letstalkpalestine2 on Instagram. Please continue advocating for not only a ceasefire, but also Palestine’s complete liberation.
