Israel has constructed severe famine through continuous bombing of infrastructure, months of blockades, and sabotaging efforts for humanitarian groups to distribute aid. 98.5% of Gaza's cropland has been destroyed or made inaccessible by Israel's ecocide.

Thousands of people have been brutally injured or killed by the Israeli military and mercenaries at the GHF death traps since they opened just a couple months ago.

90% of Gaza's 2.4 million residents have been displaced, and the death toll since 2023 has surpassed 61,000, many of whom were children and babies. The Israeli military occupation controls 75% of Gaza, and on August 7, Israel's security cabinet approved Netanyahu's plan to occupy the rest of Gaza.

This stage of genocide has received public criticism from many, even including some allies of Israel such as the British Prime Minister, the French Foreign Minister, the German Chancellor, the European Council President, and the European Commission President. As of writing this, this criticism has not translated into any meaningful change in policy. These leaders think statements can distract from their bloody hands while they still fund and directly benefit from the genocidal settler-state of Israel.

UN high commissioner for human rights released a statement saying: "The Israeli Government's plan for a complete military takeover of the occupied Gaza Strip must be immediately halted." But what is the UN doing to empower Palestine?

We must not place undue weight on statements. What matters is action. Israel's access to the tools of genocide must be severed, and Palestine's access to the resources of survival must be given immediately.

My friend Fadel needs urgent medical attention. He survived the bombing of his home, but has not been able to afford travel to a hospital that has the resources to remove the shrapnel from his body. He is in constant pain, and needs monthly medication for his disability. The cost of food is high, and his family can only afford bread with a consistent stream of donations. They are starving.

Fadel's fundraiser was vetted by @gazavetters (line #197) and shared by @90-ghost (here).

I talk to him often, and I can tell you that the number of donations he receives each week directly impacts whether he can access medicine and food to relieve his pain and keep him alive. I can also tell you that he is a very kind young man with a compassionate heart.

Please help him. He needs support. Please consider donating to his campaign, reblogging this post and scheduling it throughout the week so others see it, or sending him a kind message at @fadel-dani.

Thank you <3

I’m functioning. But like… in a haunted house kind of way.

im doing good actually...! lots of changes, i moved out, tentatively, its hard but we're managing so far and my nervous system actually feels mostly okay for once.... its crazy to be mostly almost satisfied with life, with only maybe a matter of time and of determination to continue onwards between me and peace now... things are going okay, and there's been a shift in energy, for the better.
