Support For Palestine - No $$$ Needed!

Firstly, I highly recommend This Site, That Will Donate With One Click! (Seriously, no signing up, no inputing information, no costs, just press the button, I used it myself and you can revisit it every 24 hrs! So try to bookmark it or keep the tab open!)

And secondly, I recommend contacting your representatives in government and advocating for the millions of innocents currently facing danger in the Gaza Strip.

Joseph Biden, in a recent address, acknowledged that the "overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas". I believe this time, right now, is our chance to try and break through our decades long, wrongfully given, support of the Ethnic Cleansing of the Gaza Strip. So I urge you, anyone with even just the time to spare, to try. Plead. Demand. At the worst, you tried and lost a little bit of time. At the best... maybe some people don't die.

So, I wrote a twt thread with instructions/advice for American Residents to reach out to their local representatives as simply, easily, and quickly as possible, and I wanted to share that same info here. I promise I only wants a few minutes of your time.

You can use this White House Contact Page to send one message to Biden and another to Harris. Just fill in your info and you can either write your own message, or feel free to copy and paste mine (it'll be at the bottom of this post)! The focus is first demanding that the US withdraws its support of the Israeli State.

Next, you can use this Common Cause page and instantly get all the information to reach out to your local representatives, it even tells you which committees they sit on! Just put in your address and it'll use that to find which jurisdictions you're in and provide links to all their contact pages. Again, fill in your info, some of mine also required a Topic, so I selected either "Foreign Relations/Affairs" or "Civil Rights and Humanities" and put in my message.

I clicked through all of mine, sent in my messages, used the exact same ones for all of them, only adding an additional note for my most direct representative as I grew up in the same town and wanted to express that to hopefully assist in drawing on his humanity, and it only took me about 30 minutes to get through.

Personally, I wanted to scream and rage and throw my whole beating angry heart at them and their gross, racist bigotry that allowed them to not only neglect the issue of the Israeli Occupation, but fund it. The US has been aiding Israel in their ceaselessly cruel genocide against the Palestinian people, and I'm sure it lights a white-hot fury in many of us. But, I wrote this plea with as much restraint and grace as I could bring myself to allow, if only for the sake of them possibly listening instead of tuning it out.

My statement -

Subject : We Cannot Support a Genocidal Ethnic Cleansing

To the Office of _________ -

I am pleading with the governing powers in place to help the people of Palestine. The government in Israel has said not only with their actions, by committing multitudes of War Crimes and breaking the Geneva Convention repeatedly, but even in their own words that they intend to entirely decimate and wipe out the citizens of Gaza. They have already killed and injured thousands in only these last few days - to say nothing of the past 7 decades they have spent doing the very same - and this devastation is a human rights violation like something we have never seen to this degree being supported and under-reported. Especially by the American Government, which has always held its citizens to the belief that they are a good and just organization that stands for humanity wherever it can.

We have already lost so many innocents in Palestine, but there are still so many that can be spared and saved if our government can withdraw its support of the Israeli Occupation. If they can inform their citizens of the truth that has been happening for so, so very long.

The U.S. has been wrong in its history of supporting and ignoring the cruelty that has been taking place for so long. But only by righting ourselves, by admitting and accepting that the financial aid we've sent has, at this point, become a sunken investment without the extermination of the Palestinian people. It hurts to lose so much money, it hurts to admit we've been on the wrong side of history, but the only way to stop the damage from growing exponentially worse, is to address it honestly now.

This is not about Judaism. This is not about Jewish people by ethnicity or religious affiliation. This is not about Nazism or Antisemitism.

This is about the colonizing power of the IDF that has been ignored and allowed for almost a century.

Please. Try to save some of them before it's too late.

This comes from a concerned citizen who is feeling extremely devastated by the state of things currently.

As a human being, who I hope cares for the lives of fellow human beings, we cannot allow this to happen. Least of all with our seal of approval.

-[Your Name and any Salutations]

#Please Repost #If there are any other questions do not hesitate to ask for help!#I will offer whatever I can to assist in making sure we can get as many voices to ring #From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free #Free Palestine #All my heart goes out to the people of Palestine #To the people currently in Gaza and to their friends and family who cannot help them right now #And though many of us don't have the spare money to donate to their aid #and many of us might not be in areas to attend protests #and many of us know it's difficult to get the people in power to listen to helping the most people if it doesn't bring in money #And the US has already put in so much of an investment.

Just kinda want to rant

I cannot stand what Israel is doing in the slightest. It's nothing short of a genocide. But on a more personal note, they're ruining the childhood of one of my closest childhood friends.

She would travel to Palestine every summer to visit family, I was never entirely sure of the exact place, but I definitely remember checking her location from time to time while looking over the Snapchat map to check my cousin's backpacking trip through Europe over that same summer, and I had definitely seen her within the Gaza strip many times

She has so many family members in Gaza, a handful had been caught in the US, lucky enough to evade the genocide, but not all of them. It's disheartening to see her childhood ripped apart by an overzealous army who have no idea who she is

Who any of the people in the Gaza Strip are

or those on the West Bank

When I repost the hundredth TikTok of the day about the genocide in Palestine, I mean it. I mean look at all of these people having their lives ripped away from them. I mean look at the lives of all of these children who will never get to experience the beauty of Palestine in the way my friend has. I mean look to all the people who have passed and those who continue to pass. Those committing suicide because their outlook for the future is dim. I mean look to those who could never begin to escape, killed by disease, illness, and the destruction of Gaza. I mean watch for the journalists who are being slaughtered in constant bombings and targeted sniper attacks for speaking out against Israel. I mean the family of both my childhood best friend and all of those whose lives, and land, are currently threatened by this genocide.

No one should have to be a martyr, not because of the cruelty of Israel, famine, disease, and most certainly not of greed. No parent should have to witness the death of their child, nor child witness the death of their parent. No partners, siblings, pets, or families should be torn apart because of greed.

I am outraged over this, but I feel so small because I don't have any way to help people escape Gaza. All I can do now is use my voice, and though I no longer subscribe to any religion, I pray for the freedom of those in Gaza, and for those in Palestine, that they'll be able to survive and live freely as they are meant to.

Please, if you care about Palestine, please boycott The Chosen and Angel Studios

🍉 Masterpost with links to help Palestine 🍉

The Chosen Boycott Twitter acc with a direct fundraiser link, to send direct aid into Palestine 🇵🇸

For those who dont know, The Chosen is a biblical series about the life of Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples. A series about palestinian jew, who grew up in constant displacement, who fought in a pacifist way, against the roman imperialism during their colonization of Palestinian and surrounding territories.

He was heavily against the abuse of authority, the inhuman mistreatment of people , helping the poor and sick, gave a hand and ate with outcasts, never turning away from people who needed aid.

Palestinians are currently, and for the past decades facing constant displacement, abuse of unrecognized authority, falling to sickness and are in much needed humanitarian aid.

A series about the life of a historical palestinian jewish man should not be created and acted out by zionists.

The confirmed list of cast memebers suporting Israel are:

Dallas Jenkins (Creator, producer and writer)

Elijah Alexander (Actor, in the role of Atticus)

Shahar Isaac (Actor in the role of Simon Peter.) He was called into the Israeli military to participate in the genocide and was spotted in recent days in London for the S4 premiere)

David Amito (Actor in the role of John the Baptiser) (He has shown support for both Israel and Gaza, but seems to be mostly neutral to the situation)

[The list will be updated until there's confirmation of other people or statements issued from other cast and production members]

*This series is being funded primarily through fan donations. They're currently have a goal of 48 Million for the future season 5. Do not give them anymore money and urge others to NOT donate!!*

Just because the episodes are free on their app, does not mean its fine to watch them there. Nothing is ever truly for free. Especially when one of the cast members potentially has blood on their hands.

While the series has its own app from which to watch the episodes for free, theyre still going to release the episodes on theatres starting on February 1st.

The less views and users they recieve on their app, the better. Do not buy from their merch store. Do not go to the theaters and urge your friends and family who happen to be fans and are interested, to not go watch it.

Please, even if you are not religious, even if you've never even heard of this show before, please share this around. We cannot allow these people to make money, praising the life of a jewish palestinian (even if they don't want to admit he was) while ignoring what is happening in Palestine.

Hello dear ❤️

I wanted to ask you if there is any way as an Arab living in the Middle East to help put an end to the ongoing genocide in Gaza?

Unfortunately any protestor is imprisoned here

And donations don’t go anywhere

Is there any other way???

Hi friend,

Honestly, I am in the same exact position as you. I too live in a country where protesting and online posting can be very dangerous so I understand the frustration you are feeling right now, not even being able to scream about it in a protest.

But the good news is that there are multiple other ways to help that we can participate in without endangering ourselves or our families. One of these things is to boycott, there are lists everywhere of what to boycott and I would recommend you visit the BDS website for the latest list of organised boycotts.

We can also donate online/share donation campaigns. I know you're saying donations might go nowhere which was the case for a while actually, but there are campaigns to help people within Gaza to get medical treatments or to get to a safe area. Additionally, there are trusted organisations that have its members operating from within Gaza like the World Food Programme and Taawon as two examples off the top of my head. There are also many vetted donation posts that usually circulate tumblr that you can either donate to if you're able or help by sharing. Here's a nice list of where you can also donate/share donation info.

Another way of donating is through purchasing eSIMs. There are so many posts detailing how crucial these can be to help people in Gaza, with Israel's communications blackouts as you can be the reason someone is able to get help during airstrikes. This post has instructions on how to donate e-sims.

One other thing that I can think of right now is also posting. I understand that for our situation we cannot post everything and we have to be very careful with what we say online, but keeping the conversation on Palestine present and ongoing is a massive way we can help. This way we bring attention to the atrocities Israel is committing and this can especially be helpful when we amplify the voices of the people and journalists who are currently in Gaza.

One last thing that I think is important is to continue to educate ourselves on the Palestinian cause in order to be cognizant of the sometimes insidious Zionist propaganda and to also be able to help others who are not as aware or informed of the Palestinian struggle to make sure that the Palestinian story continues to be told.

I hope this helps ❤️

Fundraisers for people/families trying to escape genocide

Have come across so many Palestinian people and family struggling to find funds to escape (which is ridiculous itself). Wanted to compile a list of as many as I can find with a small summary for those interested.

A plea for Humanity to help my family escape gaza

Summary: Thaer Aburaida is a student completing residency in Germany. However, her family of 15 are stuck in Gaza. The youngest being triplet babies with little access to formula. There are also a 2, 3, and 4 year old. Funds will be used to help them escape as well as healthcare as they are currently sick.

Emergency: help me evacuate my family from Gaza

Summary: Rawan AbuMahady, a 30-year-old Palestinian-currently residing in Canada, is a social worker and researcher who grew up on Gaza. She is recovering from PTSD due to what she has witnessed. Her younger sisters and parents still remain in Palestine, however. Her younger sisters, Hadeel (24)and Ayah(22 years old), has been expereincing severe panic attacks and have no access to food or clean water. Her mom has Type 2 Diabetes and was scheduled for eye surgery. However, she has had no access to insulin or any medical care for the past 3 months. Despite Rawan’s relentless efforts to reach the Canadian embassy and multiple international NGO’s through various channels, she has not received any help. However, her family has found a way to escape to Egypt for $7,000 each. While Rawan is financially independent and proud of the life she has made, she cannot afford a fee this high. As her family needs more than just fleeing to Egypt. Funds will first go to passes to get to Egypt, and any extra funds will go to transportation costs between Al-Nusierat camp to Rafah City, costs for any more travel, and possibly helping with food and shelter.

Gaza: Help my family afford emergency surgeries

Summary: Nouran is an artist whose family has suffered injuries during the bombings. The injuries are brutal. Her brother lost his right eye and ear, and suffered a skull fracture. Shrapnel has destroyed his right ear canal, and he’s completely deaf on that side. Nouran also lost her right eye. She also suffered major soft tissue trauma to my forehead and scalp. Her dad has completely lost his right calf muscle and can no longer walk without support. He can’t get surgery right now because there are no doctors here that know how to give epidural anaesthesia. Her mom has an untreated broken jaw and can no longer eat solid food. In the time since she was injured, she has lost over 14kg. All donations will go to treating their wounds. Medicines like antibiotics, anaesthesia, and pain relief are extremely expensive and difficult to get because of supply issues. They are also low on food with savings going fast. She has family in Ireland who can help with travel after they can escape, but they need help immediately with their health.

help a family have a chance in life

Summary: Dr. Haya Ahmed Hegazy is a 28 years old Obstetrician and Gynecologist. Despite her and her family themselves having to flee, she has been doing everything she can to provide free healthcare to fellow refugees, including helping woman give birth safely. She needs money to escape with her family where she hopes to complete her studies and return to help with more knowledge

Help Abdallah Zaqout and Family of 10 Evacuate

Summary: Abdallah Zaqout, a young man who has recently watched his friends be martyred, and his family of 10 need help escaping Gaza. His family includes multiple young children, sleeping in leaking tents and suffering intense anxiety.

When attending school in Palestine, he was in the top 2 percentile of his classes. He plans to be a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. He has a family of nine all still stuck in Gaza, living in a refugee camp close to the border. The $8,000 will be used to help Moaiad cross into Egypt where he plans to finish education and hopefully make enough money to help the rest of his family leave.

Help my family evacuate Gaza

Summary: Rana Muneer is currently stuck with his family of five in the Gaza Strip, including her husband and three children. Her husband is supervisor in the ministry of heritage and she is a teacher. She has been forced to flee several times and is very low on supplies, including supplies for their two year old who still needs diapers and milk. They also have little access to medicine, food, and water. All funds will be used to buy supplies immediately for survival and to help flee.

Help Evacuate My Family from Gaza

Summary: Mahmoud Zaqout is attempting to raise money to help him and his family flee to Egypt. His sister is living in inhumane conditions in a refugee camp after recently giving birth. Her, her husband, and three other children are all sick, starving, and traumatized.

Along the way they were shot at "mockingly" (shooting at the ground just by their feet) by Israeli soldiers - one of many traumatic experiences they have endured. They have received the news their home has been destroyed. They have come to selling Aya’s jewelry to get by.

!!URGENT!!

Please Help Evacuate Ezzideen Shehab and his Family from Gaza!!

Ezzideen Shehab and his family (Ezzideen, his 12-year-old brother Mazan, his sister Abdeer, his brother Hassan, and his mother and father) are currently trapped in Rafah & are suffering from dire starvation. They have already lost 72 family members. Please, anyone who sees this, read this post all the way through, reblog it, and please donate if you can.

Let @blackpearlblast know on this post when you donate to Ezzideen's GoFundMe so that they and Boshra (the organizer of the campaign) can match the donations!!

There's other information on how to help at the bottom of this post.

Who are Ezzideen Shehab and his family?

Ezzideen Shehab is a brilliant new doctor, who had graduated only a week before the genocide in Gaza began. Throughout all of years of schooling, he never once visited his family back in Gaza, for fear of being trapped inside. Still, he had dreamed of seeing them again. When he finally graduated, the need for his family was immense. But when he finally took a trip back home to celebrate this incredible achievement with his loved ones, something he had dreamed of for so long, Israel trapped them inside Gaza, along with hundreds of thousands of others, murdered many of their family members, and destroyed their home.

His sister, Abeer, was doing incredible work as a translator before the genocide in Gaza. Tragically, she was unable to continue this pursuit, and lost her job because of the violent, constant, bombardments happening around her and her family.

Their brother, Hassan, is a responsible and kind man. He was working as an accountant, and had just secured an international work contract that would have provided Hassan and his family with an array of new horizons and opportunities. He and his family were this close to obtaining something new and promising, but because of influences outside of their control, this has been stripped from them.

Ezzideen's parents are amazing people who raised 4 wonderful children. Ezzideen's father had recently retired from his job as a dedicated employee at the Ministry of Information. But, instead of being rewarded for his hard work with a peaceful retirement, he has been met with the murders of his loved ones and a life of constant fear and danger.

Finally, there's Mazen, Ezzideen's 12-year-old younger brother. Mazen is an incredibly bright 7th grade boy, who, instead of going to school and experiencing typical 7th grade antics and embarrassments (which we all know this website loves to joke and reminisce about), is living under constant bombardment and starvation. He is faced with death and despair on a daily basis, as all other children in Gaza are. I have personally seen photos of children his age blown to bits. I can only imagine what he's seen. What he's felt. His right to be a child has been stripped from him under the Israeli command. Under no circumstances should a child be not allowed to grow up; growing up should not be a privilege. Mazen deserves to live a long and normal life, one where a daily fear of death upon him and his family members feels like an alien concept.

Mazen deserves to grow old, and he deserves to grow happy.

No one, let me repeat; No one, deserves to go through what Ezzideen and his family are going through right now. Certainly no child ever should. The genocide happening in Gaza right now is the most horrific thing I've ever seen in my life. I'm not exaggerating. This is the most horrific thing I have ever seen. And I'm just an American bystander. I can get up from my screen and leave the house and be safe. I cannot Fucking imagine what it must be like for the people trapped in Gaza. They can't do that. They can't get up and walk away from what's happening. This is their reality, every second of every day.

But it's not too late. You, the person reading this, have power in this situation. You have a voice. If we can get them the help they need, and soon, they can evacuate. Ezzideen can pursue a further education in medicine. Abeer and Hassan can continue their incredible work to support their family and themselves. Mazen can grow up.

Support for this family has already made a difference. By sharing and donating to their cause, Ezzideen's mother has already been able to register for evacuation. Your actions make a difference. Your shares make a difference. Your donations, no matter how small, make a difference. I promise.

How To Help

donate to Ezzideen's GoFundMe, which I linked at the top of this post

Donate in exchange for commissions from @void-botanist (info here)

Donate 50$ or more in exchange for a t-shirt, bag, or notebook from @boshradaoud (info here)

Reply on this post when you donate to Ezzideen's GoFundMe so that they and Boshra (the organizer of the campaign) can match the donations

Reblog this post (& tag it with a recognizable tag so people can search for it on your blog)

Repost & share the information contained in this post to other social media websites (INCLUDE A LINK TO THE GOFUNDME)

Make your own posts about the subject!! The more people talking about this, the better!!

^^relating to that, DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE!!! no matter who you are, how small your blog is, or what theme you post with, YOU SHOULD BE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GAZA, even if that just means reblogging every pro-palestine post you see!! THERE IS A GENOCIDE GOING ON!! and as a human being, it is YOUR responsibility to talk about it. That's just what you do.

If you can, attend protests and events in your community to help support Palestine. Remember to prepare with the proper equipment if you're going to be protesting (especially if you live in America) so that police will have a harder time recognizing you

Big thank you to Boshra Daoud for organizing Ezzideen's GoFundMe, for reaching out to me about this, and for providing all of the images used in this post.

IF YOU SUPPORT PALESTINE, DONT SCROLL!

This Saturday, we'll be trying a new posting method. I'll be posting five links that I found on the Operation Olive Brance spreadsheet, and I'll also write down the brief summary they give you. Hopefully, this will get more engagement and donations.

Line 549: "URGENT: Doctor Omar's wife just delivered a baby via emergency c-section. They are both still hospitalized and sick, the baby is malnourished. The family are displaced in tents and need medical evaluation to save the baby."

Line 763: "In short, we are living in the worst conditions of life: torment, killing, starvation, humiliation, siege, poverty, and constant destruction."

Line 727: "My father faces extreme difficulty in moving without his crutches or a walker due to health problems in his feet. My mother also cannot move easily due to problems in the spine and feet. Attn: someone is breastfeeding."

Line 186: "Dr. Sofyan's wife has a rare illness in her eyes, which needs special medical care as she just plant new lenses before war and needs to do another side urgently."

Line 685: "The dire situation in Gaza has left our family without access to basic necessities such as food, clean water, and critically, medicine."

For those out of the loop, I'm trying to get myself more involved in Operation Olive Branch, an organization dedicated to getting families out of Gaza. Every Saturday, I will make a post just like this. Please donate to these charities if you have the money! If not, boost this post so that it spreads everywhere like wildfire. We need all hands on deck.

Thank you 🇵🇸

I know this is completely out of the blue but, I just want to let y'all know that the owner behind this account stands with Palestine & supports Palestinian liberation. What is currently happening in Gaza is truly a tragedy and, it is heartbreaking seeing numerous photos and videos of civilians mourning the lost of friends and family.

What's even more heartbreaking is seeing Zionist justify the attacks and defending IDF soldiers who are literally killing and terrorizing innocents. There is no excusing genocide; what Palestinians are going through is an active ethnic cleansing.

What is happening in the north is reminding me of how privileged I am. I can eat, sleep, play games, and carry on about my day without having to worry about bombs and, if I'm going to live to see the next day or not. The innocents in Gaza deserve to enjoy their life. They deserve to do the same things I do without having to worry about the constant air strikes, white phosphorus, and the sound of gunshots that ring their ears. The people of Gaza deserve to sleep comfortably in their beds at night with full bellies. The children deserve to attend school regularly and, play with their friends.

But instead, they're taking shelter inside tents, schools, and hospitals with minimum food, water, and severe injuries. Nobody shouldn't have to be subjected to this kind of torture. What isreal is doing to Gaza should count as a war crime.

SHAME ON ISREAL, AND SHAME ON THE US GOVERNMENT AND JOE BIDEN SPECIFICALLY FOR SENDING BILLIONS TO THEM JUST SO THEY CAN CARRY OUT GENOCIDE AND CONTINUE MASSACRING INNOCENT PALESTINIANS.

For those reading this please continue to boycott companies and corporates that both supports and funds Israel. Continue educating yourself and speaking out about what's happening.

Ignore and don't fall for the propaganda isreal and zionist continue to use. Ignore the notion that being pro-palestine automatically makes you "anti semitic". It doesn't, it makes you pro-human rights. Also if you're pro isreal or "neutral" on what's happening, then you're on the wrong side of history. You cannot be neutral on genocide and human rights. There is NO neutral stance here.

Free Palestine from the apartheid system. Free them from war. Return the land that rightfully belongs to Palestinians.

Palestine Aid Resource List

With aid to Palestine being blocked, it's discouraging to try and donate to relief funds. But we can't stop trying. Here are some organizations doing their best to get aid to Gaza and help displaced individuals.

Anera provides food and supplies to displaced Palestinian families, and are trying to ship medical supplies to Gaza.

The Middle East Children's Alliance is a nonprofit dedicated to children's rights in the Middle East, and is currently providing emergency aid and shelter as well as providing emergency medical supplies to hospitals and clinics.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East works to spread information and shelter refugees from the conflict.

The next best thing we can do is listen to and support people and organizations that help get the world out. A lot of people have no idea what is going on in Gaza. We cannot look away from genocide.

Motaz Azaiza is a photojournalist who has been recording the struggles of people in Gaza long before the events of October 7th, and is posting events as they unfold.

Bisan Owda is a Palestinian filmmaker currently in Gaza who is posting real footage and firsthand reports as the internet in Gaza allows.

Eye On Palestine is a content hub posting news, images, and videos out of Gaza, and has resources for education on the history of events.

As far as I know, these sources are accurate and honest. Please be careful where you get your information, as propaganda and misinformation are everywhere. Donate to vetted charities, and research to know where your money is actually going.

And as always, take action. Contact your representatives, attend protests, talk to your friends and neighbors.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

please consider sharing + donating to help get these gazan boys to safety!!!!

Marilyn and Miran raised Fahed and Talal from the ages of 2 and 3 years old. They have been like mothers to their younger brothers their whole lives. As children they lived close to the beach in Gaza City and loved to go there together, eat ice cream, corn on the cob, and sweet potatoes sold by vendors. Talal, or Lulu as they call him, would build sandcastles; Fahed would knock them down. At home, Miran was the one who cooked, Marilyn read to the boys and helped them with their school work. To Marilyn and Miran these two boys are still their children. Marilyn and Miran left Gaza in 2021 because of their human rights advocacy which left them in profound danger. Knowing that their life in Gaza would always be punctuated by aggressions and suffering, they went in search of a better life for them and their brothers, far from occupation, wars, and death. They moved to Turkey where they were accepted into the Human Rights Defenders program. The Canadian Government has established a dedicated refugee stream for Human Rights Defenders at risk who, due to intense persecution, are looking for a permanent resettlement option in Canada. Marilyn and Miran arrived in Newfoundland on Oct. 10th, 2023. Their brothers, Fahed and Talal, have been in extreme danger since October. On November 14th they took the grave risk of fleeing Gaza City alone, leaving behind their entire family who would not be able to move as quickly or as far as these two young boys. They moved through air strikes, sniper attacks, and risked arbitrary detention, witnessing extreme violence along their route to Rafah on foot. They described the road to Rafah as a road of death. The trauma they experienced along this route is beyond words.

When Fahed and Talal arrived in Rafah they had nowhere to stay and were evacuated to Khan Younis, where the IDF began to bomb. The boys fled again back to Rafah. Everyday they move to a new place within Rafah as safety and conditions change rapidly. They are currently sleeping in a tent in this city that was built to accommodate 250,000 people but is currently home to 1.5 million displaced Palestinians. Conditions are severe, food and clean drinking water are scarce, infectious disease is rampant and the boys are often sick. Even their young and strong bodies cannot withstand the intense bombardment and lack of basic necessities. We are working with a lawyer to get Fahed and Talal to Canada. As soon as they are permitted by the Canadian government, the boys will leave Gaza via the Rafah crossing into Egypt.

Your donation will support the following expenses:

Legal expenses for the immigration process

Travel costs from Rafah to Egypt

Their stay in Egypt while their transit is processed

Travel costs from Cairo to Newfoundland

A New Beginning: Your donation will help the Kasken brothers start anew in Canada, offering them safety and stability.

Settling In: The raised funds will aid in settling the brothers into St. John's, covering essential expenses like rent, food, clothing, and furnishings for the first year.

Funds for medical treatment (their visas would not provide MCP coverage) and for mental health support as both brothers have suffered from severe traumatic stress over the past three months.

── ⋅ ⋅ ── ✩ ── ⋅ ⋅──

why am i doing all this?

well because, it's my passion. there's just something so special about posting about things i love and what i'm currently obsessed with, no matter how many likes i get. i also love eating churros, hanging out with my friends, listening to music, all that kind of stuff !! and sometimes while i'm in the midst of doing what i love, i get hurt sometimes. so i go to the doctor or if it's serious, i go to the hospital.

people in gaza who are my age, however, cannot do the same. they cannot follow their passions as they please. they cannot go to a hospital. since israeli forces have bombed their last hospital.

and not even just civilians who are my age. babies who are literally below 1 years old have been killed and are still getting killed, along with their mothers, fathers, siblings, entire bloodlines and loved ones. just sit there and imagine how losing one person you love would be. people in palestine lose people they love on a daily basis.

it's not antisemitic if you support gaza. many jews around the world support palestine. you don't have to be muslim, you don't have to be arab, hell you don't even need to be asian, you just need to be human and have some empathy.

please help support gaza by donating:

Hello, I'm from Gaza City because of the war,my house was destroyed. We lost everything,my family and I did not have anything left. We left our homes in search of a safe place and we were displaced three times to different places to survive, but unfortunately there's no safe place in Gaza. My mother is very sick and she's a kidney failure patient in need of treatment outside. She suffers from LS. Help me and my family to survive. Please, your small donation can make a huge difference. A friend outside Gaza has come in to help me run the donation program so that my mother can be evacuated.

hello, I am very thankful for your message, however I cannot donate currently. if I could, I would. but I cannot. hopefully, by sharing this, someone who can donate can see your message. I really want to help you, and the other palestinians who have been fighting for so long, but money has been really low lately. I sincerely hope someone sees this post and is able to donate. I will keep reblogging/retweeting so people don't forget about palestine, stay strong.

#i really wish i could help #even if I don't have a big following #i hope someone who has the means #sees this and is able to donate #from the river to the sea palestine will be free

help a dear friend’s family evacuate! please share widely and give what you can. every penny counts.

"Hi, my name is Suha, Qossay Alkafarna's mother, originally from Beit Hanoun, Gaza and now forcibly displaced and reporting from Rafah, Gaza. When Qossay was 5 years old, he was one of about 40 kids sponsored by the PCRF to seek treatment overseas and he and I were hosted by the PCRF Delaware Chapter in 2017 where we met Dounya, who is organizing this GoFundMe on our entire family's behalf. Qossay was born with a urological bladder complex and needed a specialized surgery which was not available in Gaza, so he was blessed to be chosen by the PCRF to get treatment in the United States, in Delaware to be exact, where Qossay had undergone multiple surgeries to treat this condition, including corrective surgery for both his hip and bladder. Nemour's Hospital in Delaware treated Qossay, and we were hosted by Ronald McDonald House and cared for by the PCRF Delaware chapter so warmly during this time. We made it back to Gaza in January 2018 and Qossay was undergoing his physical therapy. We are grateful to all who helped us along the way. Fast forward, 6-7 years later, Qossay just turned 13 years old, is enduring his own genocide and suffering tremendously to the point of almost reaching kidney failure along my other children and the entire family, those who survived up until this point.

We have 16 members of my family currently with us including myself:

Saad Abdullah Al-Kafarneh, father-in-law

Aida Ali Al-Kafarna, mother of the husband

Fathia Abdullah Al-Kafarna, mother of the wife

Muhammad Saad Al-Kafarna, head of the family

Suha Muhammad Al-Kafarna, wife

Shahad Muhammad Al-Kafarna, 19 years old

Shatha Muhammad Al-Kafarneh, 17 years old

Iyad Muhammad Al-Kafarneh, 16 years old

Qusay Muhammad Al-Kafarneh, 13 years old

Sama Muhammad Al-Kafarna, 9 years old

Musk Muhammad Al-Kafarna, 5 years old

Mahmoud Saad Al-Kafarna, brother-in-law, 35 years old

Iman Bassam Al-Kafarna, wife of the husband’s brother, 29 years old

Siraj Mahmoud Al-Kafarna, the husband’s nephew, 7 years old

Twins Carmel and Rital, nieces, 2 years old

We live in Rafah in a tent inside a government school. We were displaced from Beit Hanoun to Jabalia camp inside an UNRWA school after the Zionist army bombed all our homes and destroyed all the roads and schools. We were displaced and then to the city of Rafah to an UNRWA school. We lived there for about a month, during which we suffered a lot of crowding, transporting water, lack of food, and entering the bathroom with great suffering and queues of people.

Diseases have spread among people, including hepatitis, gastroenteritis, severe influenza, and kidney infection.

Then we moved to another school after suffering greatly due to overcrowding in the schools. We remained in a tent, suffering from severe cold, pneumonia, and intestinal infections for my children. I was admitted to the hospital to receive intravenous treatment for my children. My son Qossay also suffered from kidney inflammation and kidney atrophy due to drinking the contaminated water that my children brought from a place far away, about an hour's walk away.

Then I moved to another school after a continuous search for all schools, kindergartens and hospitals until I found a shared tent inside a school with two displaced families.

I cannot begin to tell you, we suffer from very high prices, and there is no flour, sugar, rice, or any kind of basic needs for children either. We bought a bag of flour for 500 shekels, rice for 40 shekels per kilo, vegetables are expensive, and candy is also expensive. My children cry and ask for chips, Indomie, chocolate, and sweets, but we cannot buy them because of their high price.

We suffer from a difficult psychological state, depression, frustration, lack of sleep, anxiety, fear of bombing, loss of appetite, as we lost half our weight from lack of food, and stomach problems from psychological pressure.

My children also suffered from involuntary urination due to the intense fear of bombing, the sound of artillery and F-16 missiles, and the bombing of schools, mosques, homes, universities, and markets.

We lost over 300 relatives in this genocide and the Zionist army left their children to be orphans.

We need treatment for blood pressure, diabetes, psychological treatment, kidney treatment, and many other treatments.

Our most important request is to end this war, prevent any more of this racist genocide, have compassion for our situation and the condition of our children, women and elderly, help us build our homes, return our children to schools and universities, and provide us with food and treatment. We are all in need of the funds to survive and seek safety elsewhere as we had lost everything. Our homes have been flattened and reduced to rubble.

Will you help fund my family's safety and security and cover our needs? Your support during this time is urgent and we are beyond appreciative of all of your efforts for our family. We will never forget you and what you have done to help us while we faced our genocide. Jazakum Allah Khair and Ramadan Mubarak."

Help My Friends' Beloved Family Escape Gaza

Letter from my friend, Mahmoud Shakshak, 01/22/2024

Hello everyone, I need you to help my family escape a genocide against Palestinians and televised massacres. My name is Mahmoud, I'm from The Gaza Strip, Palestine. I am a university student in İstanbul, Türkiye, and I am raising this fundraiser to help get my beloved family out of Gaza.

The current situation as of date: My parents and two unmarried siblings are together in Khan Younis. My two married siblings, their spouses, and my four nephews (the youngest was born in the middle of the war) evacuated their home to the south where they sought safety for their children in UN tents. After 100 days of miraculously cheating death, my parents had to leave our home in Khan Younis City and go south to Rafah City. Rafah was too crowded, my family had to go back to the danger zone in Khan Younis. Their immediate area is a target for Israeli airstrikes, the hospital near them has already been hit. The building we live in is partially damaged from the blast force of missiles hitting the surrounding area. It could collapse and it’s not safe. They also lack adequate food and water supply, and cannot seek proper health and emergency care.

I have not been able to contact my parents for two days. The last time I spoke to my brother, Mohammed was three weeks ago. My pain is nothing compared to others, yet I never thought I could go through so much, and lose This number of people and things close to my heart.

This is my beloved family who you would be helping: My parents: Father: Sadi (retired). He’s 65 years old. Mother: Amna (housewife). She’s 57 years old.

Mohammed and his family: Father: Mohammed, my elder brother. (33 years old). Wife: Hanan, my sister-in-law. (33 years old). Son: Sadi Jr. My nephew. (6 years old). Son: Ahmad. My nephew. (5 years old). Son: Mohammed Jr. My nephew. (101 days old).

(Sadi and Ahmad with their father. Their mother, Ghadeer, unfortunately, passed away in 2021)

Walaa And Her Family: Mother: Walaa, my elder sister. Computer engineer. housewife (35 years old). Father: Muhannad, my brother-in-law. Social worker. (36 years old). Son: Bashar, my nephew. Student (8 years old).

Bashar at his 1st-grade graduation ceremony)

My unmarried siblings: Brother: Raed. Project manager. (27 years old). Sister: Zeena. Student. (15 years old).

How is your support going to be used?

The majority of the support will be used to pay for special permits on the Egyptian borders. Unfortunately, the cost for that rises by the hour, starting at 500 USD per person at the beginning, and ending up at 11,000 USD per person at the moment. If children do not need permits to cross the borders, the cost will be 88,000 USD. The rest of your support will be used to bring them to Türkiye. It is expected to be divided as follows:

A. The Sini: Transportation from Rafah border to Cairo. While cars that cross the Sini desert between the two cities control the prices and charges for passengers escaping the war, It should not cost more than 2,000 USD. B. Travel fees: such as flight tickets and visas should cost around 4,000 USD for all of my family.

C. Upon arrival: Unfortunately, my sister and I will not be able to host all of my family in our rented apartment in Istanbul. I will have to find a suitable, big enough place to rent for the three families so they can settle in. Medical exams are a must, especially for my 3-month-old nephew and my parents. These should cost around 6,000 USD.

Making the total cost of saving my family 100,000 USD.

How Can You Support Us? If you cannot donate, the next best thing you could do for us is to share this with your friends and your community. I want my family out of harm's way, we would greatly appreciate any help we can get!

Thank you all so very much, Mahmoud Shakshak
