this pride, i learnt about the Palestinian trans woman Oscar Al-Halabiye, dancer and resistance fighter against the israeli occupation in Southern Lebanon. she named herself Oscar after Lady Oscar from the "The Rose of Versailles", a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Riyoko Ikeda.
her story is documented in Cinema Fouad(1993). zionists use pink washing to reinforce their genocidal terrorist narrative when queer Palestinians have been fighting against the occupation since the very beginning. you can watch it here with english subtitles. long live the intifada!
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
Even through all this destruction, the people of Gaza remain steadfast in their determination to stay in their homeland. They'll rebuild and rebuild a thousand times over no matter what the occupational army does to it.
Mahmoud Abusalama wants to make sure everyone outside of Gaza understands how steadfast the people are. Remember, even if all this happens, this is our homeland and Palestinians will not have their spirits broken! The colonial entity of 'Israel' will never take that away!

There is a great possibility that a temporary truce agreement will be reached, and the terms of the truce are agreed upon: the army’s temporary withdrawal from all areas, and the return of the Rafah crossing to remove people who want to travel.
I ask every person with a conscience and a pure heart to feel for us, because my family is large, and to donate to us generously, because there is no agreement on a specific period for the truce, and it is possible for them to return to all areas and continue the bombing and killing of innocents and defenseless children.
I have a huge burden on my shoulders, and the war made me go through the most difficult suffering, because my brother has special needs, and my wife’s mother lost her sight as a result of a stroke, and my daughter dreams of living in safety like the children of the world.
I hope you will support us, and I hope you will donate generously, and share it extensively so that it reaches the largest number and get everyone to donate to us, because I am unable to escape with everyone if something bad happens to us.

What's it like living in Gaza during the current war?
As countless bombs fall down on Gaza every day indiscriminately killing every form of life, survival becomes merely a matter of luck. Wisdom and resourcefulness in normal places in the world can get you out of trouble, but they are useless in Gaza because luck is the only thing you need to stay alive. There is not a single precautionary action you can take to guarantee staying alive.
It is both sickening and terrifying that in the blink of an eye, a missile might be dropped at my house to wipe out my entire family leaving everyone torn to pieces or, best case scenario, suffocating under the rubble with a slim hope of being dug out by rescuers and neighbors.
As of today, more than 10,000 Gazans are resting and dissolving under the rubble of their bombed houses, and I shudder to think that my family could be added to the list at any second. With your help, I can get them to safety in Egypt.
Kindly, consider donating, reblogging, and sharing with others.
