Help Palestinian families get out of Gaza
DON'T SCROLL
Hi, I don't really post but I would like to share these two GFMs that two families had reached out specifically.
This family has a set of twins younger than 5 and are exremely sick and don't have enough food for sustenance I am in contact with the mother Alaa so if you have anything to ask don't hesitate .
Another family had also asked for help is this one they aren't in much contact but they are also desperate
if you can't donate please reblog and repost if you want but please don't ignore.
Alaa's and Walid's tiktoks are @ala.kah and @nour.nahedd please support them there as well
*update* guys I don't think there are enough words to thank you all for all your contributions from the likes and the reblog reposts and donations we've reach around $1000 between the two GoFundMe's I'm so grateful for your contributions.
thank you so much from the depth of my heart for all your hard work you have no idea how much everything you do means please continue to support and if you can make your own post on these families

with my nakba posts, here's some website recommendations if you want to learn on the history of specific depopulated palestinian areas:
palestine remembered is probably the most famous and comprehensive website with full documentations of former locations and depopulated villages. it also lists information on palestinian refugee camps, guestbooks, and the ability to upload pictures. information on each village varies.
zochrot is an organization dedicated to teaching both palestinians and israelis about the 1948 nakba (which is not covered well if at all in israeli schools, as you can probably imagine), which includes documenting information on villages and even an app. information on each village varies.
the interactive encyclopedia for the palestinian question's places page has some detailed histories and a map as well, but doesn't go into the detail of the last two sites, and doesn't have pictures or sources.
many villages also have their own websites, and many of them are also in english (for example, the one i linked for kafr bir'im). honestly just look up (village name) + website and if it's there you'll find it.
wikipedia also has surprisingly comprehensive coverage of the villages, the articles include a little more of the "war" background than the other websites do.
all that remains: the palestinian villages occupied and depopulated by israel in 1948 is a famous book by palestinian historian walid khalidi which gives a detailed account of what became of 400 different depopulated palestinian villages. it was released in 1992, so it's not current, but many of the things he wrote still hold.

i know most of us are busy watching the hearing at ICJ but i just wanted to remind everyone that israel is still attacking despite standing to defend themselves against damning allegations of genocide. don’t let them get away with crimes while we’re distracted. keep sharing the news.
YESTERDAY: Oxfam reports that Israel kills about 250 Palestinians daily—‘the deadliest conflict in the 21st century’ they called it.
00.51: Israeli air strike targeted civil defense forces and paramedics who were rescuing victims of a previous air strike in Khan Younis.
01.05: Palestinian journalists have been receiving calls from Israeli numbers instructing the refugees to evacuate their homes. Another journalist reported receiving calls from multiple Israeli numbers.
04.34: The IOF uses a bulldozer to damage underlying infrastructure and roads during the raid on Nour Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem
10.12: A group of Palestinian captives who were abducted by IOF from Gaza were released this morning after weeks of incarceration. They were transferred to Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah for treatment, as they had been subjected to abuse while in captivity
12.05: Floods of sewage water and tons of garbage fill the schools where thousands of displaced Palestinians are taking to them as shelters in the north of Gaza
12.16: Israeli air strikes targeted several sites in Rafah city, southern Gaza.
12.18: Israeli forces attack Muslim worshipers, who tried to reach Al Aqsa mosque for Friday prayer.
12.20: Israeli forces detain a young man in Ras Al Amoud, Jerusalem, who tried to reach Al Aqsa mosque to attend Friday prayer.
13.05: Israeli forces bomb a house in Khan Yunis refugee camp in Gaza. 30 casualties reported.
13.57: Gaza Ministry of Health reports that the occupation has committed 13 massacres during the past 24 hours, resulting in 151 people killed and 248 injured. Two additional airstrikes took place in Khan-Younis and Deir Al-Balah since dawn.
14.27: Palestinians in occupied Jerusalem had gathered to perform Friday prayer on the streets after being denied entry to Al-Aqsa mosque. Shortly after the IOF began attacking the group with tear gas.
15.07: Israeli forces stormed a Palestinian house in the town of Sinjil, Ramallah, and set up a military observation point on its roof. They prevented the residents of the house from entering and leaving, locked them in a single room, and did not allow them to use any form of communication.
16.16: Telecommunications have been cut off in all areas of the Gaza Strip.
i’ll update this post with more news (if any)
*the timestamps follow the gaza local time

The Israeli occupation dropped leaflets in Al-Bureij today (Times of Gaza) that read:
"You are located in an critical battle zone. For your safety leave immediately and head to known shelters in Deir-Al-Balah" (25-12-23)
Here’s what the situation in Deir-Al-Balah has been this past week up until this morning:
Dr Ebraheem works in the Al-Aqsa Martyr’s Hospital in Deir-Al-Balah. This is what he’s got to say about the situation in Deir-Al-Balah
In a post written on his blog, Dr Ebraheem describes the situation at the hospital further:
“I saw bodies coming spewing dust as if they were a sponge dipped in ash. I saw children bleeding and sinking into a coma because heavy stones came on their weak heads. I saw people whose colors, shapes, and names changed, where at a certain moment it was not possible to know who was injured, as they said: ‘Clean his face from the dust, perhaps we might recognize him.’
They do, and discover that he is so-and-so, the kind and simple man, as he was sitting in his house because he had no other place to escape.
I saw people confused by the number of victims - because of their large number—‘How many dead did we count today? Did we miscount? I told you, in the last hour, two girls came as martyrs, two children with bleeding heads, ten young men who came without vital signs in one fell swoop at the very least, lumps of flesh (parts) in a small bag, and open heads from which the brain can be seen.’
I sat with someone who was talking to himself and asking: ‘All these injured and martyrs were like us an hour ago, they were with us.’
A little while ago they were alive (like us), so when will our turn come?”
meanwhile, we have people making excuses saying palestinians are given “ample time to evacuate”. evacuate where?! where should they go? everywhere they go there is murder, rubble, bombings and destruction. nowhere is safe. it’s all a trap!
where. should. they. go?
this is their homeland. there are not going anywhere else. ceasefire and end occupation NOW!!
CONTACT YOUR REPS AND CALL FOR CEASEFIRE AND AN END TO OCCUPATION
PROTEST!
let the world know you stand with palestine. let the world know it MUST at any cost, dismantle the state of israel and free the palestinians.
demand the rights of the palestinians. demand they be given back their land. THIS is what land back means. the palestinians must be given their land back in its entirety.
from the river to the sea, palestine must be freed.
there are no more negotiations to be made. they must be free. this has gone too far for too long. israeli aggression is intolerable and the world will no longer stand for it nor make excuses for it. this is not a war. these people are not collateral. this is a textbook case of genocide and it, and the israeli occupation forced, must be stopped.

Making this new pinned post for Ahmed @90-ghost Please donate and/or spread as much as you can.
EDIT: GFM is giving me grief because this is going to someone in Gaza. I am trying to sort it out, but if the worst-case scenario happens and they shut it down, I’ll have to refund everyone. Currently, I can’t even access the funds. You can still donate if you want, but you’ll be more sure to get money to Ahmed if you go to his blog and use his PayPal or Ko-Fi to donate directly.
EDIT 12/24: the fundraiser hit its goal! But the funds are still in limbo. GFM essentially concluded their questioning and told me that they will reach out when there’s a decision regarding whether or not I will be able to transfer the funds or if everyone will be refunded. I’m trying to at least pester them for a decision ASAP, but in the case of a refund, please pay attention to your email for the refund notification and re-send your money directly to Ahmed’s PayPal: @/ahmed94saad
EDIT 12/29: the good news is that GFM reached out to Ahmed directly, received his documentation, etc and it looks like they’re moving forward with lifting the hold on the account, hopefully. The bad news is that the cost of the permits has gone up in the time that this has taken. It’s $7500 per person now. I’ve adjusted the goal and re-opened donations accordingly.

this is so evil and morally depraved. the fact that this man was simply doing his job, got shot at, and then was left for SIX HOURS to succumb to his injuries. all the while the healthcare workers were being prevented from helping him. (update)
how is this justice? how can you still look at all of this and say this is “self defense”? that this is about “fighting hamas”. this isn’t. this was never about hamas. if it was… they wouldn’t be torturing innocent people like this. they wouldn’t prevent aid from reaching a dying man.
in fact… they would be blocking hospitals and ambulances at all. the same thing is happening in jenin, where the sick and injured are unable to be evacuated due to restrictions by israeli occupation forces. where roads are being bulldozed and hospitals surrounded by tanks and soldiers ready to shoot at innocent people. where building are being vandalised and blown up (Al Jazeera, Mariam Barghouti). they wouldn’t graffiti walls of buildings they’ve destroyed with phrases like “we came for hummus”, nor would they make videos after destroying someone’s home, laughing at the camera while holding the victim’s photo and say: “thank you for the welcome into your home”.
WAKE UP WORLD!
CALL FOR A PERMANENT CEASEFIRE AND AN END TO OCCUPATION!
CALL FOR THE GENOCIDAL STATE OF ISRAEL TO BE DISMANTLED! FREE PALESTINE! GIVE PALESTINIAN LAND BACK TO THE PALESTINIANS!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GAZA TODAY?
—2/12/23, Palestine Time
Hamad Residential Complex in the city of Khan Younis (a former safe zone) was bombed.
the moment it happened + another report
They also demolished six towers at once. You can see the civilians in the surrounding area and the aftermath filmed by journalist Saleh Aljafarawi. Watch it. Watch the crimes of the settler-colonial state so many of you support and root for. This is the news your local western news channel will not report on.
The Palestinians have nowhere to flee to. They are stuck. Surrounded by bombs, tanks and artillery. Journalist Motaz Azaiza has said it is now “a life or death situation” (full translation of his post)
The Palestinians are being tossed around, forcibly being displaced.
They are also deliberately being led astray with unclear instructions and living their lives feeling unsafe no matter where they go.
Their houses are being taken over after being killed or displaced. While the IOF soldiers desecrate them further by making vile jokes and celebrating such heinous acts.
Palestinians barely have any means to treat the thousands upon thousands of injured civilians.
Meanwhile… IOF has gotten more weaponry and reinforcements with the support of the US
Only a little over a day and this is the number of people that have been brutally murdered.
PLEASE KEEP DOING EVERYTHING YOU CAN
DEMAND AN END TO OCCUPATION
DEMAND AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO ISRAELI WAR CRIMES
DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION INTO U.S. COMPLICITY IN WAR CRIMES
DEMAND A FREE PALESTINE

here’s your reminder that israel has indeed violated the truce. their warplanes have entered the sky space of gaza (reported by hind khoudary & muhammad smiry)
and oppressive forces have also shot at a palestinian man and left him to bleed. then opened fire on anyone who approached the man to help (reported by motaz). there are also testimonies from palestinians that the israeli forces themselves encouraged the people to go help the injured man and then opened fire at them (motaz).
israeli forces have also blocked the entrance of a hospital in jenin, and have killed 3 people and injured 6 others in an open fire during their raid of jenin in the west bank (QudsNews)
meanwhile, israeli hostages that have been released had been forbidden from giving interviews (QudsNews) and there have since been reports that the hostages confirmed they were treated humanely and were not assaulted (source 1, source 2, more healthy israeli hostages)
this ceasefire truly didn’t mean anything. and israel and palestinian resistance clearly do not operate on the same field nor with a balance in power. even during a “truce” they are still oppressing victims.
keep speaking up. contact your reps. protest. boycott following bds guidelines. publicly condemn israel. start conversations and raise awareness. educate yourself and educate others. listen to palestinian voices.
amplify palestinian voices.
(25/11/23)

[ID: Tweet by @/bintyalo that says, "If Israelis were indigenous to Palestine, they wouldn't be so ok with its destruction. They wouldn't burn olive trees that are older than their constitution. They wouldn't attack historical religious buildings. Their hearts would ache at the destruction of our land". End ID]

After getting over the initial shock and heartbreak of this tweet and this reply, it hit me that (and I don't know if this is a cultural thing here in the middle east or an Islamic one)
A child has to be named even if they're stillborn.
For a child to not be named, that means there's no one left to name them. They were killed along with their entire family.
I hoped I was wrong, but I checked the list of victims of Israeli attacks and found this:
Israel has ended 47 Palestinian bloodlines over the course of this genocide (or perhaps more), so you might think that this little detail isn't that important, but I don't think we should get used to cruelty of this proportion, no matter how consistently Israel commits it.
The number of victims isn't just a number. These are people with full lives and hopes and dreams.
It's enough of a disaster that these families were wiped out, but in murdering them, Israel didn't just deprive them of their lives, hopes, and dreams. It deprived them of even the dignity to name their children.
It continues to deprive the remaining Palestinians of their most basic human rights.
What did the Palestinians do to not deserve food or water or electricity?
What did their *newborns* do to not deserve lives or at the very least names?!
This is the most harrowing form of terrorism I can think of. The genocidal Israeli occupation is the most despicable terrorist organization the world has had the displeasure of knowing.
The whole world should be deeply ashamed that it's not only allowing such heinous war crimes to be committed, but in a lot of ways, it's enabling them.
I don't know how anyone can be neutral about this.
Stand with Palestine, stand against the occupation. Against genocide.
ربنا يتقبل الأطفال دول و أمهاتهم و عائلاتهم اللي الاحتلال قتلهم معاهم شهداء، و ينتقم من إسرائيل و أي حد بيمكّنهم أشد انتقام في الدنيا قبل الآخرة.

I am losing my mind
Convoys of ambulances taking the injured out of Gaza to get treated in Egypt (as agreed and coordinated between all parties) got targeted by Israeli warplanes
The convoys were in three separate parts of Gaza and all of them were targeted and bombed.
15 killed so far and tens are severely wounded.
I literally just posted a couple of hours ago about Israel deliberately targeting civilian cars fleeing the north in response to death threats and now this
This is as deliberate as can be
Israel is literally revelling in its impunity. This is exactly what happens when cunts run around in circles when Israel's crimes are brought up. Literal massacres against medical convoys. Just like there were massacres against refugee camps and massacres in hospitals and literal schools.
Keep advocating, keep posting, talk about this and call israel what it is: a terrorist state.
