Family in need in Gaza!

[Vetted, #24 in this spreadsheet]

I was contacted by @eyadnasir-6 to help spread this campaign.

This family had their home completely destroyed by an Israeli airstrike on October 7th, 2023. They survived by a miracle and have been suffering displacements ever since.

The smoke and phosphorus have caused great damage to Iyad's lungs. Now the whole family lives in a tent. There's small children in this family.

Iyad's my dream was to continue his university studies, but his university was destroyed.

Let's help Iyad and his father Abedenasser escape to a safe place. Iyad needs assistance in treating his sensitivity and respiratory issues, as well as support to continue his education. In total they need €40,000 to travel abroad, receive medical treatment, and resume his studies.

€3,630/€40,000

🚨🚨🚨 Don’t skip 🚨🚨🚨

Hello everyone

I am Belal from Gaza, I am displaced in the southern Gaza Strip.

Because of the war on Gaza, our house was destroyed, I lost my job and money, and I cannot find a suitable job because of the war.🥹😔 Now I live with my wife and daughter in a small tent and I cannot meet their needs. 💔🥺

Please support me and help me keep my daughter and wife alive so we can live safely and peacefully.🙏💔

In these difficult circumstances, I hope to receive your support through the GoFundMe donation campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps me and my family get through this difficult stage and cover our basic needs until we settle in a safe place. Your support means a lot to us and represents a ray of hope in this difficult journey🙏🙏

Can I say it's truly bonkers how people will be like scared of rap. Cause it's racism obviously but the level of exaggeration yknow like the extent of it all is Crazy. People will talk about it like This is some heavy stuff... & dude has like an obviously-for-show supervillain shtick. He's like sampling space ghost. What are you talking about

here is the game that mohamed’s son, abdul-rahman, enjoys playing with the kitten that has joined their camp! mohamed tells me that the kitten jumps onto the scooter over and over begging to be pushed around. this sweet scene is a moment of relief between intense aerial bombardments, disease endured without access to expensive medicines, injuries that cannot begin to heal, and constant horror and death all around this family. the children’s mother, manal, is suffering from late-stage cancer and is currently in a coma.

while the al-manasra family’s gofundme is paused due to a technicality, can you help get money to their fundraiser organizer’s cashapp, venmo, or paypal (for donors outside the US)?

cashapp link (for americans)

venmo link (for americans - please do not indicate anything having to do with palestine in description)

paypal link (for everyone outside US - please make sure your donation is listed as “personal” and not business)

mohamed’s fundraiser is vetted #192 here!

thank you thank you thank you!!!! please circulate!!!

When people talk about 'building community', usually the peak they aspire to is some form of mutual aid group. There are two main problems with this.

Firstly, mutual aid is a defensive tool, not an offensive one. It can only soften the blows of capitalism - it is the naive, bourgeois view of communism that our goal is the redistribution of wealth, when it is in fact the reorganisation of production. A network of mutual aid will level out the harshness of deprivation between those more and less vulnerable within the network. But it cannot actually lessen deprivation, and it cannot actually produce any food or blankets or medicine outside of its members earning a wage and buying them on the market. Under a system of mutual aid, everyone's life will slowly sink further and further into immiseration at the whims of capital, but it will do so at a (somewhat) consistent rate between them.

Secondly, most 'mutual aid' is not, actually, mutual aid. It is charity. Ask yourself: is there an intended recipient and an intended provider of this aid? Is it carried out by one group in order to help another? This is charity, a system of donation between a designated needy and general better-off. It is not that other thing: mutual aid. Mutual aid is characterised by its mutual character - that is, it is a community effort in which all members engage with it as both providers and recipients. There is nobody involved for who the supplies 'are not for you', because there is no separation between them. Like the 'community gardens' whose owners suddenly become upset at the food being taken, people are wearing the names of (honestly very minimally) more radical formations than the ones they are actually carrying out. They think that when they have changed the name of things, they have changed the things themselves!

Again, mutual aid is a fundamentally flawed, fundamentally defensive tactic - but people aren't even actually doing mutual aid. An offensive tactic, one that can actually improve people's quality of life and weaken capitalism, inherently means taking command of production, not merely adjusting consumption.

tom, harry, and b’elanna being the people in charge of the actual operation of voyager itself is very funny it’s such a chaotic combination. tom’s at the helm all gas no brakes barely paying attention to where they’re going sending memes to the senior staff group chat in one hand iced coffee in the other. b’elanna’s down in engineering holding everything together with duct tape and leola root updating the bridge crew every five minutes like “so if you want to hail another ship first you have to open and close the cargo bay airlocks three times DON’T ASK WHY but this increases the efficiency of our power usage by 15%”. harry’s in the midst of all this at operations thinking four steps ahead of everyone else as he micromanages the ship’s increasingly convoluted systems repeating some calming vulcan mantra tuvok taught him hyperaware of the fact that one slip up and the ship will explode. dream team <3

mohamed has been forced to re-verify his campaign through gofundme because his old campaign run by a scammer was taken down. this process would be straightforward if gofundme had active phone lines, but instead he is forced to wait for weeks and weeks without access to his funds because gfm’s business model does not function except to shield them from culpability in the event that someone is killed. if you have read my posts in the past months and have considered donating, please consider sending any size donation to this cashapp profile:

this belongs to the organizer of mohamed’s fundraiser and i can personally vouch for 100% of these funds going directly to him (and without gfm taking a sleazy cut)! this is the lifeline for him and his children.

mohamed’s wife has been hospitalized indefinitely. his mental health is not well. please help my friend.

The part in 'innocence' where Tuvok hands a scared 8 year old a gun and leaves after giving her instructions which are literally JUST "aim like this and press here to fire" is so interesting for his characterization because it isn't ILLOGICAL (she needs protection from a potentially life-threatening entity and he needs to leave for a moment) but it's also something that I don't think most other characters would think to do because. You know. It's giving a phaser to a child.

Remembering how in Star Trek Voyager Chakotay kept crashing shuttles and Harry Kim kept dying and then there was an episode where the two of them went out in a shuttle and then everyone else crashed and died
