The International Criminal Court warrant against Benjamin Netanyahu is a major development towards real consequences for Israel's crimes against the Palestinian people, but it's still too early to say what will result from it. While the United States tries to obstruct international law, we can't lose sight of the most important thing in this conflict: The ongoing need to help the people who are still trapped in Gaza.
The situation on the ground right now is dire. The "alleged" war crimes are very much real, and very much affecting real people who have been deprived of shelter and basic necessities throughout the horrors of this genocide.
Ahed Alanqar is one of those people, having to provide for his three daughters in the midst of war crimes. To be clear, that is absolutely heroic. Surviving in these conditions by itself is hard enough, managing to scrape by enough to take care of three kids, ages 1, 6 and 9? That's already difficult without the war crimes!

Everything in Gaza is expensive and hard to find. Everything. There is no source of income, and Ahed and his family are reliant on donations to survive. This is something we can help with. This kind of direct support is how we can materially help, make an actual difference, and resist the war crimes while governments drag their feet.
Donate here. This fundraiser is vetted as number 229 on the Gazavetters list.

See the thing about Eridan and Feferi is they are a bit like sharks and dolphins. One of them is a lovely little smiley creature that makes chittering noises and does tricks and is overall very anthropomorphizable, and the other is a big nasty biting thing that you wouldn’t want in your entourage. Meanwhile Feferi is a nice young lady with sentiments about social justice that appeal to Homestuck’s exclusively (as far as I know) non-Alternian audience and very adorable mannerisms, and the other one is Eridan.
But then expert scientists start taking a closer look at the two species and start to spot some discrepancies with the general idea of what they should be. It turns out dolphins do all kinds of nasty things (ie: premarital sex, stockbroking, pyromania) and sharks are actually big softies who wouldn’t hurt a fly when you aren’t dressed up as a seal or making sensationalist blockbuster movies about them.
Similarly, upon closer inspection you realize that maybe Feferi isn’t really all that nice or even necessarily respectful towards lowbloods (re: conversations with sollux, VrIska, Jade) and that Eridan, despite having adopted his worldview because it puts him in a socially acceptable position of power, might not buy into those ideas and isn’t quite so awful or as much of a lost cause as first impressions might have him seem (re: conversations with Karkat, Gamzee regarding Sollux, requests for faulty doomsday devices, etc).
So naturally you as the reader get very excited about all these developments and start wondering oh boy oh boy, where will the story push these characterizations next, given that it’s already managed to tell us so much with so little? Who will remain true to their ideology, and whose will crumble? And then Eridan goes and does that. Sad! Oh well, there’s other tools of a genocidal regime to unpack. Sometimes the shark really is just a big nasty biting thing, and there’s nothing sinister lurking beneath the dolphin’s adorable trick.
But you, understandably, are a little pissed off by all this. You were eager to see all the secret nice and nasty bits of these characters come to fruition, and as the reader you’ve been denied your delectable prize. Plus, it seems not everyone has caught on to how things could have gone. So in your analysis you push things a bit, maybe to bring them justice or to make things clearer. Dolphins are actually murderous rapists who delight in stealing candy from small children, while your average shark is on par with Mother Teresa. Feferi’s plans for societal rehabilitation were tantamount to genocide. Eridan Did Nothing Wrong. And so on.
However, it’s important to settle on a few things at the end of the day. Bits of nuance are usually intended to make characters more similar rather than push them further apart. It might be more helpful to see what those similarities are pointing to and analyze them on that basis. Eridan and Feferi are both troubled little soldiers of a fascist state positioned very close to its head. Similarly, when all’s said and done, sharks and dolphins are both large marine predators with very sharp teeth who humans would benefit from not getting close to.

You can ask me! Don't worry, I don't think it's too hard. All you have to do is click the buy now option next to whatever version of the zine you'd like to buy, and it will lead you to a purchase page where you can input your paypal information and add a tip if you want to. Then, it will give you access to the pdf to download it, along with a receipt for your purchase.

🇵🇸 Hello friends 🇵🇸
I am Maram Nabulsi from Gaza, a 18-year-old girl. My home in Khan Younis was destroyed, and I found myself and my family living in a camp for displaced people in Mawasi Khan Younis, under the scorching sun, inside a tent swaying in the wind. 🇵🇸
Every day is a new battle. I was deprived of studying for my last year in school📚👩🎓 and graduating from it, my dream of joining the human medicine 🏥🩺specialization was taken away from me, my hopes and dreams have faded since the outbreak of these damned events on October 7. 🇵🇸
I feel as if the world has abandoned me, and no one cares. In our small tent, we are under physical and emotional siege. Every night I reach my hands to the sky, and ask God to give me the strength to overcome this nightmare, I need your help to save my life and complete my dream abroad 🍉🇵🇸


Please donate +30$ to save my life♥️🌿

I heard about this earlier but this is phenomenally good news because a lot of these manuscripts hold palestinian intellectual history dating back centuries and my friends who work in the Islamic book history field believed these all to be gone

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.
I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...
*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours
MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.

Dear friends, From the depths of my heart, I thank you for your support and assistance during the darkest times. You were the light that illuminated the path of hope for us when the world turned its back on us. 🫂💚
Thank God, a truce has been agreed upon. I cannot describe our joy at this news; after all this pain, the bloodshed will stop, and the suffering and killing of innocent children and families will come to an end. Finally, we will sleep without fear of being the next target.

But our joy is incomplete, we are still without work or any source of income, without a roof to protect our children from the cold and rain. Our torn tent barely shields our bodies from the harshness of winter, and the exorbitant prices deprive us of securing the simplest necessities of life, such as food, water, and medicine. 😓


We are in urgent need of your continued generosity and support to overcome this difficult period. Every donation, no matter how small, represents a lifeline for us and our children. We cannot face this hardship alone.
May God bless you and your generosity, and reward you abundantly for all the good you have given. 🙏💚
You are the hope that keeps us steadfast.
