CRITICAL EMERGENCY!!! 15 y/o girl needs heart surgery!!!!
Earlier this month, we made a post asking for your support in attaining 15 year-old Nour’s monthly treatment for her congenital heart condition. Unfortunately, the funds raised came too late. Nour’s health took a dramatic downturn yesterday, and the doctor said that because she had gone so long between monthly treatments, several of Nour’s heart valves have closed up. She now requires an urgent operation to save her heart.
NOUR WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS SURGERY!! She is dying right now because her heart is struggling to function! She needs this surgery IMMEDIATELY to save her young life!!
Tumblr media
The doctor said the surgery will cost $8000 USD. Nour’s family’s GFM is in Canadian dollars, or CAD, of which the conversion rate to USD is $1 USD=$1.41 CAD. This means we need $11,300 CAD in donations in order to pay the equivalent of $8000 USD for her surgery.
We NEED to raise the funds ASAP so Nour has a chance at survival!! We are breaking this sum up into 2 smaller goals to be more attainable. Our first goal to save Nour’s life is to raise $4000 USD/$5656 CAD.
**Progress: $43,187 CAD out of $49,000 CAD**
(or $30,554 USD out of $34,670 USD)
PLEASE HELP SAVE NOUR’S LIFE!!!

Rashid Khalidi: October 7th Revisited | Israel, Palestine, Gaza, Hamas, ...
Abstract:
 “Rashid Khalidi is the Edward Said Professor Emeritus of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine Studies, President of the Middle East Studies Association, and an advisor to the Palestinian delegation to the Madrid and Washington Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from October 1992 until June 1993. In this episode, Rashid and Robinson discuss the history that culminated in October 7th, 2023, what has happened since then, and what might happen in the future. More particularly, they talk about Zionism, the Nakba, how Gaza was created, the war between Israel and Hamas, Egypt’s role in the crisis, the question of genocide, and the future of Palestine. Rashid’s most recent book is The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine (Metropolitan Books, 2021).”
I’ve read Rashid Khalid’s latest book The Hundred Years’ War twice since its release; I’ve found it really informative and very specific in examples and times when Palestinian people have never truly been brokered with in earnest. The intent has always been for Israel to do what it is currently doing in Jabalia. I found the reread especially informative, a lot more gelled into what I’d learned since the first run-through. I honestly thought this first part of the video slapped, where Khalidi talks about his roots in Palestine:
“Well I mean there's a tested history for our family in Jerusalem going back to the time of the Crusades. Possibly earlier but certainly the time of the Crusades or just after. And some of the people who figure in the book, are these 19th century figures, who one of whom was a member of the first ever Ottoman Parliament, Mayor of Jerusalem, ends up writing a letter to Theodore Herzl. Another one, his nephew, was also a deputy of Jerusalem in the 1908 Parliament, and also played a role in the Arab reaction to Zionism. So I mean, they're members of my family who play all kinds of roles in- in- in- Jerusalem and in law, in education and in- and in- politics. I had an uncle who was the last elected Arab mayor of Jerusalem I mentioned him also in the book... yeah he writes to [Theodore Herzl] in 1899 two years after the first Zionist Congress in Basil. And he has lived in Austria you know, Herzel was a  Viennese journalist and published in German. His famous book there, Judenstat, the- the state of the Jews, is published in German. And it's clear that Yusfi - who's the person we're talking about, this great great great uncle - had read about the Congress, had read about Zionism. May well have read the book uh, we don't know, but he knew a great deal about Zionism. And so he writes to Herzel and he tells him that, um, he tells him a variety of things. First of all he says that ‘we understand the connection between the Jewish people in the Holy Land, we understand the persecution you're subject to in Europe, we understand where Zionism is coming from.’ So he understands that it's a national project, he understands that it's a reaction to persecution. But he says: ‘you're not taking into account the fact that Palestine is already inhabited by a people that's going to resist being displaced’. At the end he says, ‘for the sake of God, leave Palestine alone.’ And so, this is probably the first recorded anyway ... response by a Palestinian to the very beginnings of Zionism, in 1899. So a couple of years after the first Zionist Congress’.”
Under the cut is an outline of the YouTube above, so you can determine if it’s worth your time w/out clicking all the way to YT. It runs about an hour, but imo it's fine just listening.

God bless the pro-Palestine activists who made this happen!
British banking giant Barclays has sold all of its shareholdings (16,000 shares) in Israel's largest weapons company Elbit Systems Ltd.
Palestine Action has undertaken 54 protest actions across the UK against Barclays over the past 12 months, including smashing windows of the bank's branches and spraying them in red paint.
HELL YES!

Sorry for the ugliness of the view, or should I be the one sorry or the occupation? Of course, dear reader, you could not bear the ugliness of the scene, but what should I and my family say? We have been here since the third of December,
[ vertified by @nabulsi and @el-shab-hussein , num.221 on fundraising list ! ]
See the evidence below !
Tumblr media
Note, the iron thing in the picture in the back is the primitive oven in which we bake our daily bread using firewood and plastic. CAN YOU IMAGINE ????!!!!!!! Is your food covered in sewage, urine and feces? Sorry for the words but this is crazy, I'm going to lose my mind!
We have been here since the third of December,in addition to the filth and waste, it explodes daily due to the presence of 30,000 thousand displaced people. It explodes and the place here is flooded with filth, sewage and dirt. It is definitely a hotbed of diseases. Why do I and my family have to live, sleep, eat and cook here?????? Do you see this little threshold? A few centimeters that separate us and it's not enough, a lot of insects and worms,If you go out with your shoes, they will get dirty and dirt will enter inside. We are inevitably stuck in dirt. Is there a decent person who would be satisfied with a life like this? I am tired. We are all exhausted by the disease. Everyone is here with yellow eyes and epidemic hepatitis. Everyone is like a zombie because of this tragic and inhuman situation in which we live. My family does not leave the bed due to the severity of illness and fatigue. [is there a bed? Of course NO, we sleep on the floor, specifically on dirt, but unfortunately we have begun... We get used to the tent like a house and we use its terminology. This habit and habituation is killing me. I cannot accept and do not want anyone to accept the humiliation we are experiencing Or try to beautify it in any way.]
If you would like to help even a little for my family, please do not hesitate for a moment. It is an unbearable situation. Our lives have been destroyed. Or you can help spread the link to our family to someone who might be able to help. Thank you for reading. Have a good day. At least someone should be happy today.

Attention please !!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello, my name is Noha, a mother of 4 children in Gaza. We now live in inhumane conditions, lacking all the necessities of life. We have lost our home and our loved ones. We have been forced to move more than 9 times so far and we are now subject to an evacuation order. My children and I were forced to live in this. The infected place, in tents that do not protect us from anything, neither the cold of winter nor the heat of summer. We have been here for months, among the filth and sewage. My children are sick and suffer from wasting, hepatitis, and many other complications, skin and respiratory diseases. We cannot obtain food or medicine. There is no water for cleaning or bathing.There is no place to shower, we literally live in filth!! Diseases and epidemics, what is our fault in all of this? Do we have to face all this to survive death? To die slowly every day? From hunger, thirst, illness, fatigue, or even from depression and fear! My children long for their warm bed and our beautiful home, but now they have turned to ashes, missing their schools, their friends, and their most basic rights as children! They miss their forgotten childhood among tents and water lines, searching for food or killing harmful insects that attack them throughout the day!
I created this link to try to survive and save my children from this nightmare, so that we can begin to recover and regain our dreams. Your help is our only hope!
Your little means a lot to us, don't hesitate! Your help could save the life of an entire family elsewhere

Hello
My name is Mohammed Saqallah, I am 23 years old. I used to work in a smartphone store in the customer service department 📱.
Tumblr media
My brother Mahmoud (20 years old) and I dreamed of establishing a mobile repair shop together 🛠️💡. But the war stole our dreams and destroyed our home over our heads 🏚️💥.
Tumblr media
One fateful night during the harsh war 🌌⚠️, our home turned to rubble after being bombed by the Israeli occupation 💣. We miraculously survived 🙏✨ after the civil defense 🚑 managed to rescue us from under the ruins. However, the devastation left behind is beyond description. Now, we are homeless 🏴‍☠️ with no source of income 💼, and the dreams we spent years building have turned into painful memories 💔.
Tumblr media
My younger sisters now live in a constant state of fear 😢:
Hala (14 years old): Trembles at the sound of explosions 😨💥.
Lama (15 years old): Has lost the ability to sleep due to nightmares 🌙😔.
Haya (16 years old): Experiences panic attacks whenever she hears gunfire 🔊😣.
Hifa (17 years old): Lives in shock 😞, even though she was always my source of support and encouragement to pursue my dreams ❤️✨.
As for me, I lost my job and my source of income 💔💼. My brother Mahmoud, who dreamed of studying smartphone engineering 📚💡, could not enroll in university as he hoped 🎓. Even my parents 👩‍👦‍👦, who were our pillar of strength 🤲, are now struggling with the psychological and financial toll of this war 🥺💔.
Why Are We Asking for Help? 🤝💭
We are now seeking to leave Gaza in search of safety and a better future 🌍🕊️. The cost of coordination and leaving Gaza is enormous, as we need $5,000 for each family member, which includes me, Mahmoud, my parents, and my four sisters 💸👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, totaling $40,000 💵.
Additionally, my brother Mahmoud needs $5,000 for his university education once we leave 📚🎓.
Total Needed: $45,000 💰💵
Tumblr media
This amount would be a lifeline for us 🛟:
Safety: To leave Gaza and escape the daily fear that surrounds us 🕊️🌈.
Education: To help Mahmoud achieve his dream of studying smartphone engineering 📱📚✨.
Hope: To give us all a fresh start after losing everything 🌟🏠.
Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives 🙏💖. You are the hope that can bring us back to life 🌟❤️. Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand 🤝✨.

EMERGENCY!!! SEVERELY ILL INFANT!!!
Baby Ayla has a severe ear infection. She is in terrible pain and is very lethargic. She requires antibiotics and other medications to treat her infection, as well as vitamins that will help support healthy growth. If she cannot receive these treatments, Ayla will probably have to have surgery on her ear!!!
Tumblr media
Horrifyingly, inflation caused by the IOF siege means that it will cost $2500 USD to procure these treatments. The family simply does not have this money, and cannot attain it without you.
Ayla needs this medication ASAP, before her condition worsens. Her mother Bashaer @bshaeromars-blog is heartbroken and terrified, she has never seen Ayla in such a poor state. PLEASE help her get treatment for her baby!!!
Current: $36,274 USD
Temporary goal: $38,774
Please help stop Ayla’s condition from getting worse! Help her recover so she can continue to grow and learn!

On the Edge of Danger🍉
Tumblr media
As I was getting ready for a new day in Gaza, a leaflet carrying an urgent warning from the Israeli army reached me. The warning mentioned military operations and called on residents to evacuate immediately. I looked at the map on the leaflet and saw the boundaries of the shaded area they were talking about. I lived on the edge of that area.
Questions began flooding my mind: Am I safe? Should I leave now or stay and monitor the situation? At that moment, I felt the weight of the decision. Although the warning was clear, I had always lived on this fine line between safety and danger. It wasn’t just a decision about movement, it was a decision about daily life, about safety, about survival.
But there was another burden weighing me down. I didn’t have enough money to rent a tent or even cover the cost of transport to a safer place. Even if I decided to leave, where would I go? Where would I sleep? In Gaza, the options are very limited, and the harsh economic conditions force us into impossible choices. How can someone leave when they don’t even have enough for the first step outside their door?
Communicating with neighbors wasn’t any easier. Some decided to leave immediately, while others, like me, were unsure. Families here have a long history of staying despite everything, adapting to circumstances no matter how hard they were. But this time, the situation was different. The map in my hand was warning me directly.
As time passed, I began preparing for all possibilities. I gathered some essentials and braced myself for any emergency. But deep down, I was hesitant. This home was all I knew, and every memory I had was etched into its walls. Leaving wasn’t just a practical decision; it was an emotional one as well. And as the warnings increased, the fear of tomorrow grew even more. How can I move when the circumstances don’t even allow me to escape?
The campaign is documented here.
