Please help Siraj's family!
Hello, everyone. I am writing this post on behalf of @siraj2024, who needs our help. Donations are slowing down - only $4,124 out of $82,000 has been raised. His fundraiser is vetted and verified by @nabulsi, you may check it out here along with other vetted Gaza fundraisers (Siraj is #219).
Please take the time to read Siraj's story, he wrote it down for the world to know what his family and what the people of Gaza are going through:
"From the Gaza War... the story of the Siraj family, between a beautiful house and a tent like a convection oven
The Siraj family owns a beautiful house in the northern Gaza area. After the occupation declared war on Gaza, the area in which this family lives was the first area that vehicles entered and destroyed, which led to the house being damaged and large parts of it demolished.
Exodus series
Since the first days of the war, this family has suffered from displacement, as they were displaced to 5 places, where they saw all kinds of suffering, from danger to the most dangerous. There is no safe place in Gaza, and the last place was the tents that resemble convection ovens and lack the most basic necessities of life.
Difficult childhood
The children of this family carry water and do a lot of hard work, and they feel sadness and pain when they see students of their generation going to take the end-of-year exams, finishing their educational journey, achieving their dreams and living new experiences. On the other hand, a year of their life wasted, without any achievement.
Deadly drinking
Water in the tents, water barely reaches them after great suffering, queues that last for hours, and walking hundreds of meters to get water. It is polluted water, but everyone is forced to drink it, otherwise they will die of thirst.
My friends, this story is a difficult and complex case, and they need your support in order to build their home, educate their children, and meet their needs. Be helpful to them and help as much as you can."
Please reblog this post and donate what you can. Any donation, no matter how small, will help. If you cannot donate then please share this around. Thank you 🌹🇵🇸🌹

any contribution you can make is infinitely valuable, regardless of the size of your following or the amount you can give. let's keep working together to support families like these suffering violence and displacement. your help can save lives.
dear followers, i'm writing on the behalf of a woman, a sister, a mother, a grandmother, named wafaa who has been speaking to me on tumblr from the dire situation in gaza. i'm here to share her story, her plight with you, her campaign with you so you can help her. her house has been bombed, the place she grew up, her place of work, her husband's place of work has been bombed, where her children grew up, her family (three generations of people, which is 15 people including a newborn infant) doesn't have anywhere to go.
she has already lost precious people in her life, lost precious people who were her world, her sister, her brother's son... she can't bear to lose any more people than she already has! she is already wracked with a grief and sadness i genuinely cannot even begin to comprehend. none of us can. yet she still has hope in god that through us, people across the world, can help her family escape this situation. let us not let her down.
i know you're all struggling with money right now. already struggling with bills and food. but donate what you can afford, still. even if it's just a single dollar! because it all adds up, it all adds up in the end. when wafaa first contacted me i believe her campaign was at around €13,000 out of €50,000, but now it is at €21,465! it all adds up. we can keep this going, with donation matches, by spreading this campaign, sharing even if you can't donate. so please. help her family, with whatever little you can.

He invokes death upon himself from the intensity of the pain.
Omar, who is six years old, survived a massacre that happened to his family, losing his father as a result. This little child invokes death upon himself from the intensity of the pain and shock he experienced. His mother is still in shock.
Please, any amount will make a difference in protecting them.
You are their only hope after more than 200 days in this genocide. Please donate or share the link.
I trust that goodness still exists in people.

I hope western leftists know that standing for a free Palestine is not the end of decolonization. I've seen far too many white leftists who proudly stand for freeing Palestine which is good but then get nervous and apprehensive at the idea of decolonizing the very land they are on. Norway will recognize Palestine but actively tear down Sámi liberation. Liberation for one people means it for us all. If you support Palestinian liberation but deny it for the Indigenous people of the land you're on then you didn't stand for Palestinians or any of us to begin with.
God, Palestinians can't have anything
I've often seen this person's posts pop up, he's known for the number of cats he feeds, even before this, hence the username. The other day, I remember seeing that pic of him and that tiny little puppy on the beach and being cheered up by it. It's just so sad... they literally can't have anything.
If anyone wants to help this man, he has links for both an evacuation gofundme and PayPal to help feed the cats:
The world is waking up
Concentration camp.
They built a concentration camp.
I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.
🚨 UPDATE: Professors from GWU, AU, and Georgetown have joined the encampment and have formed a protective barrier for the students protesting in solidarity with Gaza.
selfish online “anarkkkist$$” and “lefti$$t$$” want to see organized protestors pick up dildos when they should be wanting them to pick up some gun safety and discipline. put down the bongs pick up the blicks. put down the signs pick up the shields. i am tired of watching them getting helplessly beat up by cops and randoms. i want to see winning you want to see wanking we are not the same.
"Here are your tortured poets. All from Mahmoud Darwish to Dr. Refat Alareer to Khaled Juma, these are tortured poets. Tortured by longing for a home they can never return to, tortured by the world they were born to for BEING BORN. Palestine, home to the tortured poets department." [@/folkoftheshelf on X.
