If you voted, please take the time to read about Nader’s story.

Nader @abdalsalam2000 is only seventeen and has been displaced more than ten times because of the genocide in Gaza. During the ceasefire, him and his family were finally allowed to return home, but found their home destroyed by bombs. Since the ceasefire ended, they’ve been forced to flee again, and are living in fear from the bombs all day and night. Just yesterday, Nader told me that he and his brother narrowly escaped death from bombs that were dropped on them. The reality in Gaza is that this can happen at any time. They are living with fear and trauma most of us can never understand.

Nader is fundraising for his family of eight to survive the war and hopefully evacuate. The cost of food and necessities is extremely high, and the destruction of the healthcare system means medical care is difficult to access. Nader’s father has suffered from cancer since before the genocide started, and if he doesn’t get the treatment he needs his illness will continue to get worse. They also have a little girl with them, Nader’s niece Iman, who is only one year old and has lived with war her whole life. Please give them a chance and donate to help save their lives 🇵🇸❤️

€16,789 raised out of 50,000, will you help them get to 17,000 today? ❤️🇵🇸

i know this is old news but its not because the genocide of palestinians is old news and current news. today, april 2025, israel ordered the evacuation of the partially-functioning al ahli baptist hospital and bombed it, the same hospital that it bombed in october 2023 and killed nearly 500 people and then denied it, smeared everyone who would "dare to accuse israel of bombing a hospital," released false voice notes with fake actors pretending it was hamas operatives who accidentally bombed it so that news outlets could no longer report on israel bombing hospitals without having to add "hamas-run health ministry says..." to provide doubt on accounts of palestinian suffering, and then eventually just bombed every single hospital in gaza anyway

right now they're still bombing the hospital, but they did order the evacuation first. the thing about ordering a hospital to be evacuated before bombing it is that it proves you are destroying hospitals for the sake of destroying hospitals. the other thing about ordering a hospital to be evacuated is that it still kills all the critical patients and all the patients who need it anyway in an area where a hundred people are being killed daily. already a child has reportedly died while being evacuated.

that's kind of the point of targeting hospitals. its the point of targeting so many and so frequently that you can keep palestinians suspended in a state of genocide, while everyone else who reads about is suspended in a state of helplessness and confusion. they bombed a hospital? didn't they already bomb that hospital? was it really them who bombed it? i didn't know those people were still alive and those hospitals were still functioning. patients died wheeled out in a hospital bed while the ER was lit on fire? ah, didn't that already happen before?

We are so fucked. If you don’t have sympathy for Mahmoud, consider they’ll come for you next.

“Lemme tell ya, ‘Star Wars’ always had the vibe of being in the most whitest, elite space. It’s a franchise that’s so white that a Black person existing in [it] was something,” Boyega said in the documentary. “You can always tell it’s something when some ‘Star Wars’ fans try to say, ‘Well, we had Lando Calrissian and had Samuel L. Jackson!’ It’s like telling me how many cookie chips are in the cookie dough. It’s like, they just scattered that in there, bro!”

You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this

Whoever replaces Trump will be a much more polite person... a liberal, even. And from then on, any sort of #resistance would die down because Americans could have their trinkets and treats again. This current loudness is only because these people couldn't have their one-dollar treats anymore, not out of care for the immigrants they kidnapped or Palestinians they bombed. Don't be ridiculous.

Should I put $10 towards food, or towards education and development in Gaza?

This is a real question, not just theory or philosophy… a question I face every day, and I found myself needing to answer it clearly.

Today in Gaza, people are hungry… but also, people are lost. There's a graduate sitting on rubble with no laptop to even work on. There's a university student studying by candlelight, without internet to continue their education. There's an engineer, who instead of building, is searching for a box of aid to feed his family.

Do you know what this means? It means the occupation doesn't want to kill us with bullets, it wants to kill us with ignorance, with helplessness, by turning us into just people waiting for a bag of flour, waiting for aid… and that's the biggest crime against us. Today we all in Gaza need a bite to eat… but tomorrow? Do I want to spend my whole life depending on others to live? This is the question that worries me the most!! Or should I be able to provide for myself and my family and rebuild my life from scratch?

That's why, instead of that $10 being a meal for one day, let it be an investment in a student who will emerge from under the rubble, will learn, and will be able to provide their own food forever.

Let it be a share of Esnad, not just so Gaza can live another day… but so that Gaza can rise, stand, and persevere forever.

Help us build a future for the coming days in Gaza. We at ISNAD Foundation provide free scholarships for students. Help us rebuild Gaza by building its students and empowering them to have a suitable learning environment.

my crack team of internet addled 16-24 year olds have been working day and night to invent a belief system that is near identical to that of the average white father in the 1950s. No its ok we are using words that are newer and also dumber.

@eyad-alanqe223:

This is not a scene from a movie. He burned before everyone’s eyes, but no one could save him due to the lack of water in Gaza. This journalist, Ahmad Mansour, was working in a tent for journalists to document the events in Gaza. But the occupation always hates the truth being shown to the world, so they bombed the tent that hosted several journalists. Regardless of those who were killed or injured, this journalist, Ahmad, caught fire and sadly, no one around him could extinguish the flames due to the severe shortage of water. I want to tell you that life in Gaza is as follows: Killing, hunger, siege, destruction, lack of medicine, lack of food, lack of clean drinking water. Hospitals can no longer receive the wounded due to the overwhelming number of injuries. Donate $5 or more to help save us.

It seems that survival is more distant than ever; death surrounds us from every side. Awaken your hearts, your emotions-engage with us. Every word, every interaction, every bit of support makes us feel that we are not alone. Your donation is not just help it’s a life given anew.

They deceived us when they told us that there is an International Court of Justice, and they deceived us when they said that they are human beings or that they know humanity, and they deceived us when they said we are with you and will not leave you. They are developing and developing and developing everything in life in order to try to reduce the death rate and preserve the lives and safety of people, but all of this is a lie. Where is all of this in what is happening in Gaza? Why does the International Court of Justice not stop the war in Gaza? Why do they not stop Israel from committing massacres? Why do they let us die? Why do they let us starve? Why do they let us be besieged? Why do they let us leave our homeland by force? Why does this indicate? Where is their humanity? Where is the International Court of Justice that they boast about? Where is all of this about the thousands of children who were killed? Where is this about the thousands of children who were wounded? Where is this about the thousands of children who lost their families, fathers and mothers? Where are you regarding what is happening to us? Hundreds of innocent citizens die daily, hundreds are injured, and dozens of homes are destroyed. Why is all of this happening to us? Aren’t we human beings like you? Don’t we deserve to live like you? We want this? We want a normal life like everyone else. We don’t want to starve, we don’t want to be displaced, we don’t want to be besieged, and we don’t want to be killed. Show some of the humanity that you claim to have. Help us, please, help us. We don’t know how long we will live, so stand by us so that we can get out of here safely.

Please donate

Sally just became a big sister to her baby brother Mohammed. Their mother Laila @laylaayman-blog2 has been fundraising trying to support their family through the awful conditions in Gaza, but it is hard for her to keep promoting her cause while taking care of a newborn, and donations have slowed as a result. She needs our help to share her campaign!

Please consider donating what you can, no amount is too small, and share if you cannot donate! Everything helps to get this campaign moving again, so that Laila can provide Sally and Mohammed with their basic needs!
