reflection
(How to help) <- check and reblog this post :D thanks!
If you are on the side of Israel I want you to reflect yourself. Why is Netanyahu doing this? I know your history. Jews did not have a place to call home, but is taking someone elses home really the answer?
Take a look at yourself and why everyone hates Israel so much. If I can do it for my own country so can you.
Ask yourself why does the IDF (Israel Defense Force) use white phosphorous, a weapon that burns from skin to bone.
Why do they keep the occupation and Israeli settlers around the land that does not belong to them?
Why do people who live in Israel are REQUIRED to join IDF. The army. As Israel is using their citiziens as meat shields. Friends in IDF have fought and died- and for what? Stealing peoples land? Killing citizens?
The ones who dictate what 'warcrime' is, are the winners of war.
Also for the ones who are spreading awareness, don't give up! You are doing great!
Don't give in to the face of despair, people who've been doing this since 1948 to 2023 should feel proud that they are fighting for the right thing. Even if it's small. Even if you start JUST NOW. You are doing what most people would never do.
There are still people who refuse to educate themselves.
There are still people who think that peoples lives are political.
My country had done at least 4 genocides (Papua, Maluku, Timor Leste, and the 1965s genocide) and no one spoke of it. No one heard of it.
Because all of us are censored, we are not allowed to criticise politicians. And if we do people ignore it. I was born in a culture of fear of saying the wrong thing.
Do you understand? YOU have the power to do the right thing. YOU are using your voice for the right thing. You are calling out war crimes when you see one. Something like this I would never even believe to see in my life time for other countries! So do NOT give up!
If no one speaks about Palestine then what hope do I get for my country?
For Palestenians, Papuans or anyone who is in war I LOVE YOU. I hope you stay warm, I hope you and your family have enough food. I hope you recieve any donations. You have the right to be angry, scared, you deserve freedom. The world. You deserve your land to not be taken by murderous politicians.
For Timorese, Moluccas and people who have died in Palestine vs Israel war, or any kind of conflict. I am sorry. May you rest in peace. People will fight for the ones who live. Your death will not be in vain.
Thanks for taking your time reading through all this.

I have hesitated and delayed for a long time to write these words and create an account on GoFundMe, but the need has become very urgent due to what I see of death approaching myself and my family.
To begin our story, it is important to introduce my family, who are the core of my existence and the source of my strength during these turbulent times:
We are a family of four suffering for over 9 months from a brutal war that spares neither humans nor stones.
Mother: The Heart of Our Home
My mother embodies generosity and kindness as a devoted homemaker, always prioritizing her family's well-being. Her unwavering love remains our sanctuary amidst the chaos.
Father: The Pillar of Strength
My father, Majed, a dedicated professor, faced the destruction of the university he served. Despite this, his commitment to education and society remains unshaken.
Brother: A Beacon of Healing
My brother, Mohammad, a compassionate doctor, confronts the challenges of healthcare amidst dwindling supplies and occupation brutality, showcasing remarkable dedication to healing.
Tamer: A Dream Deferred
As for myself, Tamer, I was on the verge of a new beginning, with aspirations to further my career in Germany. I had saved thousands of dollars for the mandatory block account to support my stay abroad. However, the conflict has not only shattered my professional dreams but also consumed what didn't burn of my savings, compelling me to fight for my family's survival amidst the escalating costs of basic human necessities.

I have lost the lives of my dearest friends, neighbors, and much of what I loved.
We have lost our home with all its dreams and memories. A five-floor house completely leveled to the ground!!

I lost my clinic, my only source of livelihood.

Since the beginning of the war, we were forced to flee our home in the north of the Gaza Strip to the supposed safe area in the south. But unfortunately, this was just the beginning. We have been displaced four times in the same southern area, fleeing from death always surrounding us.
Initially, we fled to a school belonging to the UNRWA in the Nuseirat camp until we were forced to move to another area, and the Maghazi camp was the intended destination. Then a UNRWA school, where we were residing in a tent inside, was targeted, killing 7 civilians. We were forced to flee again to a tent in Rafah, but the scarcity of clean water and the spread of epidemics and diseases forced us to flee again to a UNRWA school in the Deir Al-Balah area until now.
UNRWA has been providing refuge to hundreds of displaced families for the past six months at schools that have become vital community hubs, offering shelter to thousands of individuals trapped in the southern region.
Women and children sleep inside classrooms, and the men sleep outside in tents set up in the courtyard. Rainstorms recently have flooded our tents, and it's very difficult to take care of our basic needs.

I am currently volunteering at Al-Aqsa Hospital, assisting in the maxillofacial surgery department. However, a sense of helplessness and despair often overwhelms me. It's hard to put into words the horrors and injuries I witness daily. Surrounded by the shroud of death and the cries of the wounded, I feel powerless. "I want to save you, I want you to live," I often think, "I will do everything in my power to make it happen!" Sadly, many times, they become part of the countless casualties from my homeland. The shortages in food, water, and medical supplies are dire, to the extent that we sometimes perform surgeries without anesthesia. The suffering is unimaginable.
Now we hope to escape death, we hope for the end of the war, we hope to leave the Gaza Strip, and we hope to live a decent life away from bombing, occupation, and destruction.
It has been 9 months of hell and horror. This genocide has been too long to bear, and our mental health and lives are in constant danger. (I canβt describe enough what I have been dealing with daily in the hospitals for the past days. We have reached a point where there is no hope left for us here in Gaza, where we are unfortunately just waiting for our turn to die, and even if there is a ceasefire, the destruction in Gaza is beyond prompt repair
Evacuation fees are expensive, especially now that I have no source of income. Once we can evacuate, your donations will cover our travel expenses and help us get immediate support in Egypt. There will be meal expenses, wardrobe expenses, emergency expenses, etc., but no generous contribution will go to waste.
To cross the βRafahβ Gaza-Egypt Borders, you need to have your name listed in the Crossing List (paid permit), and coordinators in Egypt who have the power to add my familyβs names to the list at the border are now asking for anywhere from $6-8,000 per PERSON! They will not add the names until we can prove we have the money ready.
I ask for your help because this is not just my battle alone, but a battle in which we seek your helping hand to survive and preserve our families. Any donation, big or small, will have a huge impact on the lives of my family and me. I am grateful to everyone who donates, and I will remain grateful forever for giving hope and opportunity to me and my family to survive and build a better future.
Thank you for reading my story. For sharing my story with your friends and family. I hope, there is a ceasefire, and we can get the rest and safety we deserve to build our lives all over again. β€οΈ

is this anything
so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.
