This is why the fundraisers you see are between $10,000 - 150,000. Palestinians have no choice but to raise that money which is why you all need to share those posts at the very least. Reblog those posts. Post them to your other social media accounts if you have them. Donate! Please, these people are in need
I've said it before but for newcomers, I will say it again. I fully stand with Palestine and Palestinians. If you're neutral, or you don't care, or you support Israel or you're "free everyone", unfollow me right now. This is not a political topic. Tons of innocent people dying is not a political topic.
Everyone's always saying that they're for making a change but I don't see any change in an account that doesn't stand for humanitarian crisis. Swifties, I'm sorry but y'all post millions of things about Taylor Swift's albums and various tours but can't be bothered to reblog posts about people dying.
1000 is a big number and we know that. Now imagine, 36050+ people dead, 15000+ are children, 80,643 injured, and 10,000 missing.
We all know what to do when genocides happen, it's in the history books. This is going to make it in history books. Stop being ignorant.
Free Palestine and all eyes on Rafah.
If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:
While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.
Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.
I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
Came across one of the saddest videos from Gaza today. I actually don't know if it's from today or not, but it's of a father saying his final goodbye to his baby over video call. The baby was killed in an Israeli air strike and was held by his uncles who were lamenting with the father that his son was born during this genocide and was killed during this genocide without his father, who's working abroad, ever meeting him. The video ends with the father, through a grainy video call, crying and begging his brothers to kiss his son for him over and over.
Out of sheer curiosity I decided to go through the comments, perhaps I was subconsciously trying to give myself sometime to sit with this unimaginable agony before scrolling to anything else.
What I saw was that the majority of the comments were all the same, just multiple iterations of "how is this ok?" and "how can anyone find this ok?"
But here's the thing: this is obviously not okay and millions of people around the world have collectively made it very clear that this is an abhorrent genocide that we are witnessing unfold right on our screens. "Not ok" is the most hollow way to describe it.
At this point in time, it is desperately crucial for your focus to shift. It has been six months of this ongoing carnage. We know this is not ok and you need to stop appealing to the minds of those who think otherwise and get to actual work.
Instead of regurgitating the same empty and powerless question of how could this be ok, we really need to be asking different questions. Instead of projecting with your "I don't think this is ok and I wonder how come you don't", perhaps invest in asking harder questions and start looking for actual ways to mobilise, aid, organise and put in meaningful work towards stopping this genocide or at least bringing more attention to it.
Get to work and quit asking stupid questions in the face of atrocity.
This is for the support of Gaza's Municipality Services - which help ensure clean drinking water, waste collection, debri removal and sanitation services - life saving services to run a state - reader I imagine wherever you are or how lacking the municipality services in your city is, it's not worse than Ghazza.

In Yemen the death count stagnated at 15,000 until the war ended and the people were able to count their dead. Today, it's commonly accepted that over 300,000 Yemenis have been killed by war and famine. We will see a similar situation in Gaza after a ceasefire.
"If the Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."
The Palestinian speaker at the UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among Palestinians resulting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
