#and stop the occupation

[shrimpothy]

literally what is the good in reporting "scammers". if it actually was a scammer great job they'll make another account and go on with their day. some probably wont notice if they're running multiple scams but if you managed to get an actual persons account deleted they have to make a new account prove that they're in an active war site go through the vetting process write a new fucking paragraph about their trauma (if they don't have it on hand already with how many accounts are scamjacketed and deactivated constantly) and regain their meager ass place in the algorithm. for daring to mildly inconvenience a tumblr user. i'm going insane

pls read all the way thru!!

is it weird that what makes me the most certain that they’re actually scam bots the fact that they would choose tumblr in the first place. like let me go to emo faggot land, a site that is believed to be dead by most people and is lowkey infamous for its bot problem, to get help. it makes more sense to post something like that on tiktok, instagram, xiaohongshu, etc. or at least imo.

in the event that families are actually flocking here in an attempt to receive help, someone should tell them that they’re likely to be ignored and assumed to be a bot. if you’re gonna support a scam, tell these accounts to catfish people on sugar daddy apps to get donations. there are lonely rich dudes willing to pay to just talk to people. or shit, asking a findom to get their subs to donate could work too.

but on a more serious note, it’s generally safer, and better for everyone involved, to help people through legit organizations (like pcrf, map, unicef, unwra, wfp, wck, rescue, etc.) anyways, as these are actual nonprofits and welfare programs and they have potential to reach more than just one family at a time, which is ultimately more effective and efficient when it comes to saving palestine as a whole. it’s secure and safer to trust.

not all people are moral, a lot of humans use whatever they can to their advantage. if someone wants money, even if they don’t remotely need it, they will find a way to get it.

the internet has been littered with scams since its conception.

do not trust strangers with your account information, do not trust strangers with your money, do not trust strangers on the internet, do not trust strangers. full stop.

remember, dead internet theory isn’t a theory anymore. bots have already begun to reign supreme.

Baby Ayla needs urgent vaccine!!

Ayla like so many toddlers in Gaza is living with chronic malnutrition, dehydration, and diarrhea due to the IOF’s food blockade. Her doctor is urging her mother to get her an important vaccine to reinforce her compromised immune system. The IOF assault has caused a surge in infectious diseases, and Ayla needs all the immune support she can get to avoid a lethal infection. To provide her with this important vaccine, her mother URGENTLY needs $200 usd.

Current: $65,013 out of $65,213 usd

Need to raise: $200 usd

Genocide experts warn that India is about to genocide the Shompen people

Who are the Shompen?

The Shompen are an indigenous culture that lives in the Great Nicobar Island, which is nowadays owned by India. The Shompen and their ancestors are believed to have been living in this island for around 10,000 years. Like other tribes in the nearby islands, the Shompen are isolated from the rest of the world, as they chose to be left alone, with the exception of a few members who occasionally take part in exchanges with foreigners and go on quarantine before returning to their tribe. There are between 100 and 400 Shompen people, who are hunter-gatherers and nomadic agricultors and rely on their island's rainforest for survival.

Why is there risk of genocide?

India has announced a huge construction mega-project that will completely change the Great Nicobar Island to turn it into "the Hong Kong of India".

Nowadays, the island has 8,500 inhabitants, and over 95% of its surface is made up of national parks, protected forests and tribal reserve areas. Much of the island is covered by the Great Nicobar Biosphere Reserve, described by UNESCO as covering “unique and threatened tropical evergreen forest ecosystems. It is home to very rich ecosystems, including 650 species of angiosperms, ferns, gymnosperms, and bryophytes, among others. In terms of fauna, there are over 1800 species, some of which are endemic to this area. It has one of the best-preserved tropical rain forests in the world.”

The Indian project aims to destroy this natural environment to create an international shipping terminal with the capacity to handle 14.2 million TEUs (unit of cargo capacity), an international airport that will handle a peak hour traffic of 4,000 passengers and that will be used as a joint civilian-military airport under the control of the Indian Navy, a gas and solar power plant, a military base, an industrial park, and townships aimed at bringing in tourism, including commercial, industrial and residential zones as well as other tourism-related activities.

This project means the destruction of the island's pristine rainforests, as it involves cutting down over 852,000 trees and endangers the local fauna such as leatherback turtles, saltwater crocodiles, Nicobar crab-eating macaque and migratory birds. The erosion resulting from deforestation will be huge in this highly-seismic area. Experts also warn about the effects that this project will have on local flora and fauna as a result of pollution from the terminal project, coastal surface runoff, ballasts from ships, physical collisions with ships, coastal construction, oil spills, etc.

The indigenous people are not only affected because their environment and food source will be destroyed. On top of this, the demographic change will be a catastrophe for them. After the creation of this project, the Great Nicobar Island -which now has 8,500 inhabitants- will receive a population of 650,000 settlers. Remember that the Shompen and Nicobarese people who live on this island are isolated, which means they do not have an immune system that can resist outsider illnesses. Academics believe they could die of disease if they come in contact with outsiders (think of the arrival of Europeans to the Americas after Christopher Columbus and the way that common European illnesses were lethal for indigenous Americans with no immunization against them).

And on top of all of this, the project might destroy the environment and the indigenous people just to turn out to be useless and sooner or later be abandoned. The naturalist Uday Mondal explains that “after all the destruction, the financial viability of the project remains questionable as all the construction material will have to be shipped to this remote island and it will have to compete with already well-established ports.” However, this project is important to India because they want to use the island as a military and commercial post to stop China's expansion in the region, since the Nicobar islands are located on one of the world's busiest sea routes.

Last year, 70 former government officials and ambassadors wrote to the Indian president saying the project would “virtually destroy the unique ecology of this island and the habitat of vulnerable tribal groups”. India's response has been to say that the indigenous tribes will be relocated "if needed", but that doesn't solve the problem. As a spokesperson for human rights group Survival International said: “The Shompen are nomadic and have clearly defined territories. Four of their semi-permanent settlements are set to be directly devastated by the project, along with their southern hunting and foraging territories. The Shompen will undoubtedly try to move away from the area destroyed, but there will be little space for them to go. To avoid a genocide, this deadly mega-project must be scrapped.”

On 7 February 2024, 39 scholars from 13 countries published an open letter to the Indian president warning that “If the project goes ahead, even in a limited form, we believe it will be a death sentence for the Shompen, tantamount to the international crime of genocide.”

Unfortunately, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced the suspension of chemotherapy, intravenous therapy, and medical follow-up services for cancer patients in the Gaza Strip. Eleven thousand cancer patients in Gaza, including my mother, are not receiving treatment and are at risk of death. I need you, and I desperately need you. Stand by me so we can get her out of Gaza and pay for her travel and treatment.

للأسف أعلنت وزارة الصحة الفلسطينية توقف خدمة العلاج الكيماوي والوريدي والمتابعة الطبية لمرضى السرطان في قطاع غزة

11 ألف مريض سرطان بغزة ومن بينهم أمي ، لا يتلقوا العلاج ومهددون بالموت

أنا بحاجتكم وبأمس الحاجة إليكم ، قفوا بجانبي لكي نستطيع اخراجها من غزة  ودفع تكاليف خروجها من غزة وعلاجها

I don’t get why people started forgetting about gaza and everything still happening there

Islam’s posts barely reach anyone now. No one reblogs like before. No one talks about him like before

his last post got almost no notes, and no donations

why did you forget gaza and its people and their pain it’s been over 500 days of genocide and Islam is living through the worst days of his life while the world moves on

Islam is vetted by @gaza-evacuation-funds N.332

"Accidentally"

Israel “accidentally shelled” UN facilities in Gaza 500 times and “accidentally killed” almost 300 UN staff.

“Accidentally” with all it’s high tech weapons.

Israel is amazingly prone to “accidents”
