Even the mighty raven guides a little soul along the paths it travels, as it shares God's love with the world. This very old raven has fed hungry souls with bread in the desert for centuries.

how we wished you were here to see the autumn sun set, and walk and talk with us among the fading leaves.

if the condition of the children of gaza doesn't move you, i don't know what will. there is no school this year. there was no school last year either. no clean water or healthy food. no medicines for when they hurt themselves. no toys to play with. no way for them to come out of this genocide unscathed. it's with a heavy heart that i've realized that childhood in gaza is an empty promise.

my friend alaa [ @alaakh998 ] lives in gaza. she has two little kids aged 4 and 6. i cannot help but think about them. how are they doing? what lies in their future? are they okay? I've come to the realization that they wont be safe unless they're able to evacuate from gaza.

the rafah crossing is closed as of now. alaa is fundraising in hopes that she can collect enough money to address her immediate needs and eventually evacuate when the crossing opens. she needs to buy a tent and medicine and supplies and food.

please donate to help her buy these things and ensure her children's well being.

every western country is about to release statements condemning iran in their display of solidarity against terrorism while they comfortably have watched the gaza genocide and the bombing of lebanon with silent tongues

A reminder about Palestine:

Firstly, the existence of the country of Palestine was never in question. And secondly, as per the UK's own words in the oft-referred to "foundational" "Balfour Declaration":

"NOTHING SHALL BE DONE WHICH MAY PREJUDICE THE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS RIGHTS OF EXISTING NON-JEWISH COMMUNITIES IN PALESTINE."

Plain as day.

Allah has power over everything. He has the power to make the impossible possible for you. He has the power to change your tears into tears of joy. He has the power to show you miracles that you can't imagine. He has the whole universe in His control and your existence is small. If He can control everything in the universe, He surely has control of your every affair. And remember Allah is the best disposer of affairs. So believe in Allah wholeheartedly. Your duas will be accepted, He will command 'Kun' BE and IT WILL BE. What if your Dua gets accepted in a way that will leave you amazed. If you're walking with tawakkul and love of Allah in your heart, He will grant you ease and happiness. Things can happen unexpectedly. Whatever you're going through, with time it will all make sense. Don't lose hope. There was hope even in the belly of whale. So don't think there's no hope for you. Trust Allah's timing because it will be beautiful on its time. 🤍

Naomi Shihab Nye, “Love Letter, Hate Letter.” Red Suitcase

[fizzymusings]

🇵🇸 Children in war zones have played for 75 years under military occupation, yet some argue Israel has the right to defend itself while Palestinians can't even have their own army. Growing up in injustice breeds resistance. IDF's actions amount to genocide—cutting off food, water, and electricity. Those who support this have blood on their hands, like those who supported Germans in the 1930s.
