Living on a planet where any government is allowed to go through with military action that they know will result in the death of civilians should be gut-wrenchingly painful for all of us. Over 10,000 children have died in Palestine since October 7th, and there is not a single child in Gaza who is not suffering. CHILDREN. INFANTS. I can't stop thinking about all the innocent children we are losing and leaving to suffer every day.

Please use whatever privilege you have to do whatever you can during the Global Strike for Palestine (January 21st - 28th). Contact your representatives. Call for an immediate ceasefire. Boycott, stimulate the economy as minimally as possible, participate in pro-Palestinian protests, educate yourself, and most importantly, amplify the voices of Palestinians.

A few ways you can donate to/support people in Palestine:

eSims for Gaza

Palestine Children's Relief Fund

Anera

World Food Programme

Hardcore 4 Gaza

Hirbawi Kufiya Factory

Handmade Palestine (the inspiration for this post)

[ID: a digital illustration of black, white, and green text on a bright red background. The text reads "do not let them die in silence. strike. speak up. stand with Palestine." in all caps. The text is surrounded by small toys, pencils, and other handmade objects depicted in the same black, white, and green colors. End ID]

Geez I just can't seem to reblog your own post but here @astraltrickster. And I wonder if you'll see this and throughly read it and not just block me and make a post saying I'm "bullying" or "harassing" you or trying to trigger you with the blatant truth. I wonder if you're gonna take a step back and realize your mistake and how dangerous your ideology is. Because it takes a certain type of privilege to close your eyes and plug your ears at the sound of genocide. Are you gonna realize the damage you have done with this post and the other one that has so many notes compared to the ones about Palastine? Is your white (or whatever race you are) guilt going to take over and ignore this or are you going to speak up like me and hundreds of others have?

When you go to bed are you afraid of being bombed in your sleep? Are you afraid of not knowing if you family is gonna be alive? With all their limbs attached? Are you afraid of starving to death or having to navigate your broken bombed neighborhood at night with no light to aid you. Do you go to bed hungry? If you have kids do you kiss them goodnight and worry if tomorrow you're gonna see their body under rubble? Do you worry that you'll never hear your parent's voices again (if they are alive) and if you'll ever see your cousins, uncles, aunts and nieces and nephews? Do you think "is this gonna be my last day alive"? Do you have to write your name on your arms and hands because you don't know it people will be able to identify your dead mutilated body?

When you drink water do you think "I should savor this, I don't have much left" or "I should give this to the family down the street."? When you eat hot food do you savor it or do you gobble it down because you know you can easily make more? What type of stove do you have? Is it gas or electric? Is it white bulbs or yellow bulbs in your house?

In your last paragraph you say breathe. Do you think it's easy to breathe under rubble or a chemical that burns the skin and causes respiratory problems or heavy smoke caused by constant bombing? I don't. Do you think those little premature babies in the hospitals that are running out of electricity can breathe right now? I don't think they can.

Did you even think about their dreams? Their goals, their aspirations? Did you watch little kids shaking from trauma? Did you see a mom dead, as her small son looks at her bloody face? Did you see the father with his two children in plastic bags because they were blown to pieces and the screams and cries coming from him? Did you see the female doctor scream "they're just babies, they're just children."? Did you see a little girl get pushed back by doctors and other survivors because they didn't want her to see her dead mother. Did you do that I wonder?

But my finally questions are: Did you even view them as humans? Did you mourn them? Did you cry over them? I know I did. Did you ever question the American propaganda that tells you "it's okay to take mental health break because it is so hard us/you. Did you think about anyone but yourself. Did you think of a reply instead of listening to what I said. Are you gonna block me or say I'm "fear mongering"? I'm just curious.

But don't worry, when this is over and the smoke clears, we'll see the ones who were on the wrong side of history. The ones who were complacent in an ethnic cleansing. In a genocide. We'll see the ones who'll come crawling out and try and play victims and who'll try and say they were "misinformed". The ones who put their sexuality and gender first over brown lives. The ones who choose to believe racist propaganda and pinkwashing. Vs the ones who spoke up, the ones who donated what little they had, the ones who prayed even though they haven't felt religious in years. The ones who could've been paid off, the ones who lost their jobs, the ones who were doxxed.

We'll see.

In Rachel Corrie’s last email to her family, she told her father she didn’t feel as if she were in danger. She spoke of plans to return home and continue traveling the world. She asked him what he thought she should do with the rest of her life. She believed she had so much more time. Rachel Corrie gave up the time she had left to protect Palestinian families. Men, women, children who did not have the privilege she did. Privilege that she bet her life on and was killed for. Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers because she cared about people being murdered.

As white Americans, our privileges, our opportunities, our comforts, our entire lives are all inextricably tied to- and sourced from- neocolonialism. obviously. theres no getting around that. and now is not the time to prioritize ourselves or our mental health by shutting everything out and taking breaks from social media.

we have a responsibility to take real action against the atrocities we're witnessing. atrocities that are being endorsed and paid for by the US. and because of that, there's blood on every Americans' hands- but especially white Americans. and honestly, its not enough to like and share other people's posts.

contact city, state, and national representatives and demand a call to ceasefire- more than once. buy esims for Palestinians who don't have internet access. donate to relief organizations. participate in boycotts. educate yourself. join protests if you can. these things make a difference, even as an individual. links and instructions on how to help are extremely easy to find. TAKE INITIATIVE.

I fucking BEG white Americans, step up and fight for Palestine. fight for Armenia, fight for Congo, fight for Sudan. and when you think you've done enough, do more.

[doug-dimmadumb]

Remember white people deserve to die BY DEFAULT.

Shut your pale mouth, Sabrina, and do something you fucking worthless cracker. As spineless as you are culture less. Be lucky the others are too kindhearted to kill us all like they should have.

it is so frustrating to see people, especially white Americans saying they're losing hope for Palestine and for an end to the occupation. You have NO right to give up hope, and especially post it online where we can all see it. You are so privileged to be able to sit back and do nothing, to feel anything other than the will to survive. You can never lose hope because Palestine WILL be free. The privilege of white Americans will never cease to amaze me. Stop posting about losing hope, or how much you miss your gross expensive coffee. you are disgusting and embarrassing. Stop whining from the comfort of your home and do the bare minimum.

Just saw a post where in response to being asked to mention the destruction and atrocities Israel is doing to Gaza Palestine rn, OP responded with "I've been avoiding it because scrolling and seeing dead kids and sadness is bad for my mental health as a depressed person and there's nothing I can do about it either way"

You dont even need to share live footage of graphic injury if it's understandably triggering but that is not something you even need to share in order to spread awareness to your large following about Palestine, nor what was being asked from you to begin with you just brought it up on ur own😭 Beyond the live footage there are text only information posts you can share. Israel's occupation of Palestine goes beyond the October 7th siege so the info you could share doesn't need to be about dead kids it could just be Palestinian literature or history for context. Even Jewish history actually. Even just a show of solidarity literally even the greatest thing u could do online would not be that hard or complicated😭

Especially when all the mainstream news outlets are spreading biased narratives and people getting derailed from the point because of the Hamas coverage and stuff, other figures that people listen to and believe in taking a firm stance with Palestine is helpful. I think justifying not even wanting to try in your own little way to begin with through this "there's nothing I can do" or "other ppl are better for this than me" is extremely disingenuous. (Besides the fact that Palestinians in Gaza that the best thing anyone can do is share about them on social media exactly for these reasons so this literally is what you can do even as just one person)

I'm not gonna make conclusions on what the moral character of OP is over one statement that may have just been poor wording. And forcing someone to share when they really don't want to is counterproductive. But idk how you can bring up the fact that there is live footage of bloody children having to bury their parents and siblings as the sole survivors of their families, and not realize how priveleged you are for your greatest exposure to that only being behind a screen, and your greatest concern from it only being your mental health💀 Especially if you're a white american

This is a little child~I'll call her Sea to protect her identity~who is alive and healthy and well-fed now, living in Cairo, rather than living in Gaza. She was living in Gaza, not at all getting enough food, at high risk of malnourishment and God forbid even at high risk of not making it....and now she is okay.

She is okay because many of my friends and family gave money to pay the exit fees to bring her and her mom and family out of Gaza back when the border between Gaza and Egypt were still open. She is okay because her uncle, who has become a close and beloved friend of mine, coordinated the safe passage. She is alive because her family are so strong and good. She is alive because a close friend of mine who has long done peace work amongst Israelis and Palestinians worked daily and tirelessly with me on finding money and figuring out logistics.

Now Sea is in Cairo with her mom, siblings, aunties, cousins, and grandma. They are alive, and healthy. And they really need help. They can't work legally because Egypt will not give them a pathway to legal status in Egypt. So there are 30 of them, and no one is able to work to pay basic living expenses. (Their relatives from afar send as much money as they can, but 30 people is a lot of people for the extended family to support.) They cannot go to most countries in the world because the world does not want Palestinians. I have spent dozens of hours working with Sea's uncle to try to find somewhere in the world for them to immigrate--it's jaw-dropping how impossible it is. Like, the countries just won't even consider taking them. The family needs money for rent, for utilities, food, clothes for growing kids.

I accompanied this family on their escape from the hell~it would mean more to them than you can imagine if you could join me in accompanying them here on the still-brutal place just past hell

Here's the GoFundMe link for their living expenses I started:

Blessed little Sea. My you flourish in joy, my you grow up internalizing the belief that you really do belong.

“Israel is committing genocide.” Yes. They are. But so is the US. The US is 100% complicit in this, and Israel would not have been able to do as much without the help of the US. I’m disgusted to be living in a country that is complicit in the literal MURDER of civilians. Men, women, children, elderly, families. All dead because of Israel AND the US. This needs to STOP.

[doug-dimmadumb]

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.

🚨 We Need Your Kindness to Survive 🚨

Hello, My name is Mosab, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.

The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.

Our Current Situation:

💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income.

📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive.

😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.

How You Can Help:

I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $10 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.

Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.

What This Means to Us:

Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.

Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.

With all our gratitude,

Mosab and Family ❤️

A distress call from a family trapped in Gaza to stay alive

We need you to spread our story to the world.

I am Diaa Ayyad from Gaza, I joined my sisters ( @asmaayyad , @esraayyad14, @samaayyad15 ) So that we can collect donations as soon as possible so that we can leave Gaza when the Rafah crossing reopens.

In this difficult time. The past 11 months of displacement and famine have exacerbated our suffering and unbelievable difficulties. We have used all the sad words to describe the situation we have reached, but these words were not enough. The scale of the tragedy and suffering is much greater than what you may have seen on social media.

My family lost their home and I also lost my home which I had prepared to get married and settle down in with my life partner.

My supportive friends, you can support my family either by donating or sharing our campaign link with others so that the goal is reached sooner, please help us.

We are very tired and no one is looking at us. Please help us. If you can't donate, share the account.

🌟 A Cry for Help: My Family’s Struggle to Survive in Gaza 🌟

Hello, my name is Areej Kassab. I’m a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza, and I’m reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a desperate plea for support. My family and I are enduring unimaginable hardships as relentless bombings devastate our home and our dreams.

We are a family of 15—10 adults and 5 children. Every day is a battle for survival. Food is scarce, humanitarian aid is not reaching us, and my little nieces and nephews go to bed hungry. Among them is my sister, who is deaf, and another sister who has a newborn baby. They, too, are suffering in this crisis, and I’m doing everything I can to protect and provide for them.

💔 A Life in Ruins The war has robbed us of everything: safety, peace, and even the hope of a future here. My family’s needs are basic yet critical—food, clean water, diapers for the babies, gas for cooking, and other essentials to make it through each day.

With rising prices and limited access to necessities, we are struggling to provide even the most basic items. My sister’s home has been destroyed, and we are working together to ensure everyone has shelter, food, and warmth.

✨ My Plea for Your Support ✨ I’m a writer, and I’ve been documenting the harsh realities faced by my community under siege. But words can only do so much. We need action, and we need help. Your kindness can save us.

🙏 How You Can Help

Donate: Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to securing the essentials we desperately need.

Share Our Story: If you can’t donate, please share this post to help us reach others who can.

Your support will help provide food for the children, clean water for my family, and basic supplies to help us survive this unimaginable crisis.

Thank you for reading, for caring, and for standing in solidarity with us. Together, we can create a lifeline for my family—a chance to live, to dream, and to hope again.

With love and gratitude, Areej Kassab ❤️
