"We have on this land all of that which makes life worth living
On this land, the lady of our land
The mother of all beginnings, and the mother of all ends
She was called Palestine, her name later became Palestine"
- Mahmoud Darwish
I'm giving away free art prints of this piece to anyone who donates $50+ to relief organizations in support of Palestine. More info on my instagram.
I’m mad my country has decided to cut off funding for UNRWA so as a response I’m going to do donation matching for them.
basically how this’ll work is that if you send me proof of donation to UNRWA I’ll match it up to 300$. No matter what I’ll be giving 50$ at the end of the week (2/05/2024) but I’m hoping this will rack up more donations than I could do on my own.
Even if you can’t donate, please share! And you can still help UNRWA by clicking the buttons on this website as well.
here’s a small resource list with very important information & links on the ongoing war in Palestine. any silence leads to another innocent dead body. 🇵🇸
| From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. |

Hello I'm from Gaza City because of the war,my house was destroyed. We lost everything,my family and I did not have anything left. We left our homes in search of a safe place and we were displaced three times to different places to survive, but unfortunately there's no safe place in Gaza.
We have no food to eat please Help me and my family to survive. Please, your small donation can make a huge difference.
That’s an absolutely terrible situation, and I’m praying for your safety.
For anyone else willing to leave a donation, I’ve found a list of resources here
To my followers, please be sure to also research petitions to support, companies to boycott, and NEVER allow the disgusting genocide in Palestine to be overlooked or covered up. There are multiple families out there with fundraisers to help them and others find safety and resources.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. I hope your family stays safe and strong.
EDIT: there are people alerting me that this might be a scam. I’ll keep this post up so more people can access the resources, but thank you to the commenters who pointed this out!
If we want Palestine to see peace someday, we cannot sit around silently, watching the genocide and doing NOTHING about it. NEUTRALITY towards this situation is NOT OKAY. SILENCE is NOT OKAY. SPEAK for those suffering. USE YOUR VOICE.
EVERY HOUR of EVERY DAY Palestinians are being brutally assaulted, raped, tortured, and murdered. The ones who survive have had everything taken from them, leaving them sick, starving, and unsafe with little to no shelter.
When we say Palestinians are suffering, we mean ALL OF THEM. Not just adults - not just men and women - it's CHILDREN and TEENS too.
Families are losing their parents, children, brothers, and sisters EVERY SINGLE DAY.
DO WHAT YOU CAN.
EDUCATE YOURSELF on the genocide and war in Palestine and Gaza. Educate yourself on their culture. Do what you can to LEARN and SUPPORT
DONATE to organizations supporting Palestinian survivors and refugees
SHARE any and all information and supporting posts and resources
USE YOUR VOICE.
SILENCE IS JUST AS BAD AS INJUSTICE.
NEUTRALITY HELPS THE OPPRESSOR, NEVER THE VICTIM.
SILENCE ENCOURAGES THE TORMENTOR, NEVER THE TORMENTED.

Hello I’ve never done this before but I want to spread the word. A friend of a friend’s family is currently stuck in Rafah with no home to return to and no means of escape. Any help would be appreciated in order to get permits for his family to flee to Egypt. Please spread the word/reblog/donate what you can.
In the shadows of conflict and despair, the people of Palestine cling to hope, their spirits buoyed by the possibility of a brighter future. Today, I humbly ask you to be a beacon of light in my darkest hour. Your compassion, your generosity, has the power to ignite hope, to restore dignity, and to pave the way for a future where every Palestinian can live in freedom and peace. In your hands lies the power to make dreams a reality, to turn despair into hope, and to leave an indelible mark on the hearts of those who yearn for liberation. Thank you, dear friend, for considering this heartfelt plea and for being a source of light in a world that too often feels consumed by darkness.
hey, so if y'all can't see my previous reblog, watch out for accounts like this:
there's nothing more disgusting, in my opinion, than profiting off of a genocide you are no where near and abusing people's trust and kindness.
as much as i want to give shady accounts like this the benefit of the doubt, i just can't when scamming is so abundant and when this account seems to be sending the same, automated messages to small tumblr accounts with no real connection to eachother.
support actual Palestinians. do your research and if an account is suspicious, DIG. you will either find they're legit (and if so, DONATE or shout them out), or they're a lying scum bag profiting off of suffering.
here are some links that will do actual, real good. stay safe and stay suspicious. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free.
edit: adding some new links when i find them.
(this is by no means a complete list of all the ways you can help palestinians. check the tags "gaza resources", "gaza relief", and similar tags for some more. if u want, reblog or comment a donation link. i'm not a huge account and idk how much good it'll do. but share it here or contact larger creators who shout this stuff out.)
Interesting news about taylor swift. Nothing red flag in her appearance at all. The charity, from what I could find, seems legit (not linking until I check more sources). It doesn’t seem to demonize Jews at all. And it seems to emphasize compassion for all. I wish she’d also acknowledge the tragedy for Jews and Israelis. But ultimately, it seems like the goal is to bring people food and clothes and medicine which is very worthwhile.
I’ll add it to my list of good charities if it does end up checking out.
If someone cannot bring themselves to acknowledge Jewish humanity, at least they’re not actively harming Jews in their pro-Palestine activism. So far this seems like a very good event that ignores Jewish loss but doesn’t harm Jews. And it actively provides aid to Palestinian civilians. This seems to be a responsible use of celebrity advocacy. It does not appear that anyone attending this event has reasonable expectation that their actions could cause harm.
Anyone else know about ANERA? It has a great score on Charity Navigator.
I’d love it if they could also separately acknowledge 10/7 though. It’s delicate. I’m sure they’re all getting mixed messages from their fans and publicists
ANERA isn’t an allmep charity but does not seem to have bad intentions or ulterior motives.
“Gaza’s night is dark apart from the glow of rockets, quiet apart from the sound of the bombs, terrifying apart from the comfort of prayer, black apart from the light of the martyrs. Good night, Gaza.”
–Heba Abu Nada’s final tweet, written in Arabic on October 8
If I must die, let it bring hope
Let it be a tale 🪁🍉🇵🇸

170 hours later and this behemoth project is completed. After being moved to tears three times by Dr. Alareer's poem, I needed to create something. Hopefully this honours his memory.
Hoping to get some funding from local orgs to get this printed into a physical booklet for distribution.
El-Rahman is an organisation of volunteers currently helping to re-settle Palestinian refugees who recently arrived in Naarm/Melbourne. If you’d like to tangibly help improve Palestinian lives right now, they take monetary donations and have multiple drop off sites for supplies.
If you follow their Instagram, they will regularly update with what supplies are urgently needed, which range from furniture, to clothes, to sanitary pads.
Can't emphasise enough how important it is for people coming out of a warzone that their needs are taken care of. We should all strive to give a semblance of normalcy to these families who are traumatised and still going through immense suffering.
