Donate!!!!!! Boost!!!!!
As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.
It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.
Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.
These two kids are Hamza (the oldest) and Qusai (the youngest).
Their mother shares this video and bids them goodbye. They were both killed by Israeli bombardment 5 days ago. She says:
[Two days before Hamza and Qusai were killed, hamza asked me: "mom, when we die, where will I go?" And I told him: "you will be a bird in heaven, my love." He said: "and Qusai?" "Just like you inshallah."
And indeed, two days later, he left and took his brother with him. It's like he was preparing me for saying goodbye to both of them. Heaven is more beautiful than any place on this Earth, habibi. We will meet and be reunited one day, me, your dad and you two].
Our kids don't deserve to die already thinking about what will happen to them, they don't deserve to die already terrified, anticipating their death because the world failed them and decided their lives mean nothing. We are not numbers. Remember their names and their stories.

btw i am participating in the bnha gotcha4gaza ! this is a really cool project that allows you to request art or a fic in exchange for a donation of only $7 USD for 🍉
please donate if you can 💗💗💗
for many of us, $7 is not much at all, but these donations really make a difference. let's come together and make something good come from this silly fandom!! make requests for your favourite mutuals as a christmas present! treat yourself!! or if you can't donate, spread the word!!
this is the perfect opportunity to get a sketch of izuku dying in a glue trap! or of the most uncomfortable, reluctant, closed-mouth kiss between izu/ocha, like two pale coconuts gently colliding!! or 1000 words of kacchan sobbing into his protein shake!!! the possibilities are endless!!!!
I just imagine Silver would be a 100% crash out all the time if Blaze wasn’t there
